It’s so frustrating! These calls come from landlines, so surely it’s not that hard to track down who’s behind them and where they’re calling from. Why aren’t authorities doing more to catch them and put a stop to this?

This is the second time I've got one of those robotic calls. They cut off halfway through but I caught something about my ip address being hacked and them working for BT. They tried saying I needed to change my ip or my internet would get cut off. Honestly, it’s totally a scam - they even said they already have my ip and if my bank gets drained it’ll be my own fault. Ridiculous!

This number keeps ringing me a lot the past few days. Everytime it’s some automated voice threatening to cut off my internet in a day or two. I hung up before the message finished, and guess what, internet still works fine!

some scammer rang my elderly folks the other day. the woman on the phone said her name was shirley and claimed to be from some internet company, threatening to cut them off within a day. luckily my mum, who’s 80, caught on quick and hung up straight away. its mad how they get loads of these calls every day, like 4 or 5 often, and one time they had 8 in one day! seriously, folks, keep your wits about you. ive told my parents a million times not to give out any info and to tell me if they get any weird calls so i can check it out - and trust me, it never turns out legit.

I got a robo call saying it was from my internet company, warning me I'd get cut off because my IP was hacked. Since I’m actually employed by a different internet provider, I instantly knew this was dodgy and probably a scam. Weird how these messages keep coming!

Got a few calls saying my IP address was hacked or something and that my internet would be cut off in a day or two. Still connected and nothing's happened. Pretty sure it’s just a scam trying to scare me.

Just got a voicemail from some random number, sounded like one of those calls you’re better off not answering. Probably a scam or telemarketer, so I’m just gonna let it slide and not bother checking it out anymore. Better safe than sorry with these sorts of calls nowadays.

Got a call again today from those annoying Asian scammers, bloody usual.

I keep getting these automated calls and I really want to find out where they’re coming from. Is there a way to track the number down to a physical address? I’m thinking about going over there and sorting it out face to face.

I’ve had these calls come through on a few occasions, where some robotic voice claims my IP has been hacked or something. I’m using this app called Should I Answer on my mobile, and it’s pretty decent at blocking unwanted calls. If you answer and there’s no proper person speaking after a couple of seconds, or it sounds like a recording, just hang up straight away and don’t waste your time. Also, any half-decent antivirus software would alert you if there was really an issue with your internet, so don’t stress about these dodgy calls.

What a bunch of muppets!

Got another call about my internet being cut off if I don’t follow their steps! This makes the fourth time today, and every call’s from a different number. Honestly, how much longer are these silly scams gonna keep happening? It’s really starting to get on my nerves.

It’s really frustrating how many folks actually get caught up in those scams about their IP address being hacked. Honestly, people just believe all sorts of rubbish these days.
