Pretty obvious scam, don’t bother answering, just report it.7 yearsI keep getting calls, mostly during the morning around 8 to 10, and then again later in the day. Whenever I pick up, there’s never anyone on the other end.7 yearsTwice every day I get calls from a withheld international number with a recorded message. They say my internet is about to be cut off and I need to press 1. It's definitely a scam, same voice every time. Such a dodgy trick!7 yearsThis number 01244539837 keeps calling about my internet being cut off. I've blocked loads of numbers like this and even reported it to 1572, but they just keep on coming. Really annoying!7 yearsGot an automated call from some American lady warning me my internet’s been hacked and they’d cut it off in the next 12-24 hours. Totally a scam, don’t fall for it!7 yearsGot a call from this number today. It was one of those robot voice warnings about my internet being hacked or something and that my connection would be cut off in 2 days. They told me to hit 1 if I wanted more info. I pressed 1, hoping to maybe chat to a real person and ask how they got my phone number, but then the line just dropped! Pretty sus.7 yearsGot a call from a woman named Shirley claiming my internet was hacked. Just hung up straight away. Honestly, with all the new regulations they slapped in place to stop this stuff, why is it still going on? Absolutely baffling.Shirley7 yearsJust got a call from 01244539837 telling me my internet's been hacked worldwide and they’re going to cut it off in the next 12 to 48 hours.

Used the blocker a few times already today, but guess what? They switched to a different number again! Just blocked them once more but honestly, it's getting annoying. Think the only way is to just switch off messages altogether!BT7 yearsThey've rung me multiple times now. When you hit 1, some operator with an Indian accent claims your computer's been hacked. The smartest move is to ask 'Can you tell me the IP address involved?' They end up just cutting the call straight away cause they don’t actually have a clue. Honestly, they’re just fishing around trying to grab anything they can from you.7 yearsGot a call from some scammer claiming my IP was at risk.
