8 yearsI got two calls today where at first it was just silence, then I heard someone say "Goodbye." They also tried that old scam, pretending to be from my internet service. Such a dodgy lot!8 yearsReceived a call claiming to be from BT regarding issues with my internet connection, but I don’t even use their services. It’s definitely a scam!BT8 yearsGot a voicemail asking for someone who used to live here, and if you're not that person, it said to press 2. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me, especially after reading the other comments. Definitely fishy!8 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from the Indian subcontinent, saying they needed to cut off my internet. Total scammer!8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with my internet company, but when I asked them which provider they meant, they just ended the call. Pretty clear it was a scam!8 yearsGot a call from some robotic bloke claiming they were my "service provider" and that my IP address had been hacked all over the place and needed to be changed right away. Total scam, don’t fall for it. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.8 yearsGot a call saying my IP address had been hacked. Total rubbish, just a scam trying to freak me out.8 yearsTotal scam alert - I looked up the 01247 area code and it’s not even in use. Got a robo call from some “Shirley,” who claimed, “This is your internet service provider. Your connection has been breached multiple times from various countries. We will cut your internet off in 24 hours. Press 1 to talk to our tech team.” They’re now just saying “ISP provider” instead of naming a proper company like, say, BT, probably to fool more people. Obviously, I didn’t press 1.ShirleyBT8 yearsGot a call around 11:40 on 2nd July 2018 from an automated voice saying my IP address was at risk, claiming to be from BT. I pressed 1 to speak with a tech who had an Asian accent and kept insisting he was from BT. I told him firmly he wasn’t, and before I could explain I’m not even a BT customer, he cut me off. Definitely seemed like they were trying to gain access to my computer to steal info. Very suspicious.BT8 yearsGot a call claiming my IP was hacked or something - total scam!8 yearsGot a call from some guy named Andrew claiming to be from BT tech support in London. Said my internet was about to get cut off in a couple of hours because my broadband or computer had some kind of security issue. Told him to just send something in writing and that if the internet did drop out, I'd ring up my actual provider myself. Pretty standard scam stuff really.AndrewBTLondonSubmit Your Own Report (01247 497896)
