8 yearsGot a call from an Indian call centre asking for the owner of the number. When I said I was just the switchboard, they ended the call straight away.8 yearsThese annoying idiots keep ringing me, no matter what time it is! Luckily, this website helps me figure out who’s behind the calls. I’m lucky my t#### blocks these kinda scam calls, cos they’ve tried ringing me like 17 times in just a couple of days! None of them got through cos they gotta be using some robo system, which my t#### won’t accept anyway. Bloody scammers, just trying to trick people.8 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke warning me that my internet would be cut off for 15 days because hackers supposedly used it between 2 and 4 in the morning. He said they had to fix it or something. Didn’t even bother listening and just hung up straight away.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with BT (Bombay Telecom). They rang back again, just like others on here have said, saying there were error messages coming from my router. I asked them about which account or phone line, but obviously they had no clue. Then they asked me to turn on my computer - total scam. Does anyone know the official number to report these scammers to the authorities?BTBombay Telecom8 yearsGot several calls on my mobile and landline, never get a message left. Whenever I pick up, there’s usually an Indian guy saying my internet’s not working - I just end the call straight away.8 yearsThis morning around 9.54 am, someone called saying they were from BT and claimed that someone had been using my IP address from about 2 to 6 am. They asked me to look at the lights on my router and promised to guide me through fixing it. I told them I’d speak to my actual provider and ended the call. Later, I looked up the number and realised straight away it was a scam.BT8 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, couldn’t pick up, looked it up here and decided to block it straight away.8 yearsHe phoned me up and asked if I was getting cold calls, I just told him he was one of those callers and then hung up.8 yearsI’m seriously thinking of getting a whistle together for the next time one of those annoyin' people calls me.8 yearsThat story really hits close to home, I got a call from a pair that sounded just like that too. The number that showed up looked like it was from my area code, which made it all feel more real to me at first. I’d been having awful internet speeds recently and had already reached out to my provider, so when they said my router and connection were at risk, I nearly fell for it. Honestly, the best thing to do is just put the phone down and don’t waste your time!8 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with TalkTalk, saying there was an issue with my internet. The person sounded Indian and started asking about the number of lights on my router. Then they wanted to know if I had a laptop. I said I just use an iPad, and after that, they just ended the call.TalkTalk8 yearsGot a call from some dodgy bloke pretending to be from BT, ringing my elderly folks who are well into their nineties about an internet issue that doesn’t even exist. When I asked him for his staff ID, he just threw out some nonsense number. Then, all of a sudden, I heard some foreign chatter in the background. Just clueless. So, I decided to mess with him a bit, replying in made-up gibberish from some imaginary place. That seemed to do the trick, because he cut the line instantly.BT8 yearsI picked up the phone on 05/05/2018 and before I could say anything, they just hung up on me.8 yearsGot a call from some dodgy bloke with an Indian accent claiming there was an issue with my internet. I played along for a bit, but after a few minutes I told him to jog on. Would be great if there was a simple way to track where these scammers are based so we could mess with them instead.8 yearsThe phone rang and when I answered, I stayed quiet to hear if there was anything on the other end, but it was completely silent. Then, out of nowhere, a woman with an English accent simply said "Goodbye!" and hung up straight away. I’ve blocked that number on my phone now.8 yearsWhat a scam, honestly. I wish there was a way to just shut these people down for good.8 yearsThey rang me a couple of times but just hung up as soon as I picked up. Proper annoying that is.8 yearsA bloke phoned about my BT internet, but I told him I’m not with BT. He lost his temper, started swearing, telling me to go and... well, used some pretty rude words before slamming the phone down. Proper nasty attitude from him!BT8 yearsI got a call saying my router had been compromised and I could lose control of all my devices. They kept me on the phone for ages, like nearly an hour, before finally trying to get me to give over my bank info. Felt proper angry about the whole thing!8 yearsGot a call from a guy speaking with a strong Indian accent, claiming our TalkTalk router was acting up and we were under a hacking threat. He asked me to log online and let him know once I had done it. I just turned off my PC and told him to jog on!8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from internet support, seemed fishy - probs a scam.8 yearsJust a heads up, this number’s defo from one of those call centres. I wouldn’t bother answering it or giving any info. Best to just steer clear and not pick up at all!8 yearsSomeone called pretending to be from Virgin Media telling me my internet was hacked or something. When I called Virgin Media myself, they told me they hadn’t contacted me at all. Definitely a scam.Virgin Media8 yearsDidn’t get a message back, so I’d guess it’s either some kind of scam or a marketing call - best to stay alert.8 yearsJust got a call from a woman claiming to be from BT’s tech support, said her name was Sarah. She told me my internet would be disconnected soon due to hacking issues and asked me to do some weird stuff on my computer. When I asked for her direct number to ring her back, she immediately ended the call. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam.BT8 yearsSome creep rang me up, said they were from BT tech support, went on about the "loads" of problems supposedly on my line. Proper slimey behaviour.BT8 yearsGot a voicemail saying I could press 1 to talk about the issue or press 2 if I wanted to cancel my internet.
