Like others have said, a quick Google search shows this is the classic Windows - R trick. They’ll attempt to convince you to let them take over your computer. It’s really frustrating and could be risky if you actually do what they tell you. Be careful, folks!

Got a ring from some bloke with an Asian accent claiming to work at BT. He wanted me to punch in some stuff on my PC to supposedly make the internet faster. Felt dodgy to me, like he was after my personal info or something fishy with my computer. Pretty sure it was a scam.

I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT tech support. She said she noticed issues with my internet and wanted to help fix them. I told her my internet was fine, no problems at all. I politely thanked her and then ended the call.

Got a call from someone speaking with an Indian accent, saying they were from TalkTalk’s tech support. They claimed that someone was trying to hack into our internet. I told them I’d ring TalkTalk myself and ended the call straight away.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from the BT tech team, said my router was compromised. I just ended the call and rang BT myself. They said they never contact customers like that. Totally a scam!

Got a call from 002023659863, sounded like some call centre from India asking if they could get access to my computer. When I told them "I’ve already reported this to BT", they just hung up straight away. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

I’ve had a few calls like this one. The line was really crackly and the guy sounded like he had a strong Indian accent. He claimed to be from BT’s tech team and said there was some problem with my account, like it’d been hacked or whatever. I was busy at the time and told him I’d ring back, but he insisted I tell him a time and he’d ring me again. Quite pushy really, but you could tell it wasn’t legit. So I just ended the call in the end.

They said they were from BT tech support, but I checked with BT and that wasn’t true at all. Didn’t give them any details and just ended the call straight away.

Today, I received a call from this number. The person claimed to be from BT technical support and warned that hackers were accessing my internet to spread viruses and malware onto my machine. When I told him I doubted he was really from BT, he kept insisting he was genuine. I then challenged him to tell me my name, saying that if he was truly with BT, he’d have that info. He replied that their tech team isn’t allowed to see personal details. Eventually, he hung up, probably realising I wasn’t falling for his scam!

Got a call from a number I didn’t know - no idea who it was since I’ve got about 100 contacts saved. They rang me three times but never bothered to leave any voicemail. Feels like it could be one of those scams trying to fish out personal details, though I can’t be sure. Either way, it’s really annoying and feels like harassment.

Hey, I’ve had loads of calls from 01254 584582, all with the same story about needing access to my computer. They claim to be from BT, but there’s a strong Indian accent which is kinda obvious. The bloke said his name was John Gombs and gave me a contact number 0203 2391498, but I couldn’t get through to it. Then he connected me to his “supervisor,” but she was really rude and even called me deaf, so I just ended up hanging up. Proper annoying!

I’ve been getting these pesky call centre hang-ups-about two calls every hour, spaced out in between! It’s really quite annoying, to be honest.

My son recently had a rather dubious encounter with a caller claiming to be a legitimate Talk Talk representative. They persuaded him to fiddle with various keys on his computer, but he was wise enough not to comply. Instead, he managed to keep the scammer engaged for around ten minutes, wasting their time, which is always delightful! After a few choice words were exchanged, he finally decided enough was enough and ended the call. This particular number had been incessantly buzzing his phone throughout the morning. So, my advice? If this number pops up on your screen, it's best to carry on as I do and simply avoid answering!

I kept getting calls from 02125647896 about some supposed problem with my modem, obviously a scam. After I blocked that number, they just started ringing from different ones. It’s annoying how they just keep changing their phone numbers!
