8 yearsI've been getting loads of calls marked as 'International' but the number is actually 01247858528, which looks like it's from the UK. When I pick up, there's just silence for a bit and then I hear a click before it ends. Quite strange really.UK8 yearsGot a voicemail that said to hit 1 if I wanted more details. Really curious what would’ve kicked off if I’d actually pressed it!8 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady who somehow already knew my name, then she began rambling on about the internet. I just ended the call right away.8 yearsThese scammers pretending to be from BT are so dodgy. How come they don’t get that BT pretty much never phones you first?

Then suddenly he just disconnected. Pretty clear it was a scam attempt.8 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent saying her name was Grace and she was from BT.

I just said I was blocking her number too and hung up.GraceBT8 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming to be from BT about our internet.

Proper dodgy, that bloke.BTRobin8 yearsAbout ten mins ago I got a call from a man with a strange accent claiming to be some kind of engineer.

Didn't trust him and just ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an accent two days in a row, claiming to be from BT.
