Loads of folks get calls from these so-called BT, TalkTalk or Sky call centres trying to scam you. If you want to block every one of these, check out [spam website]. It’s the only way to be sure those annoying calls stop completely.

Received a call claiming to be from BT, insisting that my Google account had been compromised from overseas and that they'd be suspending my internet for a whole day. I told them I had no idea what they were on about and that I'd be getting in touch with the police to clarify the situation. Naturally, I didn’t actually contact the police but did a bit of digging on the number they called from.

I got a call from this number, with someone claiming to be from Sky saying my internet was at risk because of hackers. I made it very clear to them that they’re not welcome to ring me again!

Been getting calls at all hours, like super early mornings and late at night, saying my internet will be cut off in a day because of some virus. Total nonsense, don’t believe a word of it!

Just got a ring from 0125478541 a few minutes ago. Luckily, my new BT8600 phone with call blocking stopped it right away. It’s pretty good at blocking these annoying calls. If one does manage to get through, you just hit a button and it blocks that number for good. Since the phone’s mostly quiet during the day, I occasionally check if the dial tone’s still there.

Just got a call a few minutes back from someone saying he was with BT internet. He kept repeating it, saying my internet would be disconnected in 30 minutes because hackers were trying to get into my PC! I didn’t bother with any of it and quickly gave him a shout that started with F!

Got a call from the "Windows Department" - seems like a dodgy scam trying to snoop on your personal info. Someone could be gathering details while you're in. Best advice: either don't pick up or just let it ring out.

This number has called me several times but it showed up as 0044, so I figured it was from overseas. Luckily, Call Guardian picked it up and warned me. I've gone ahead and blocked it now as well.

Got a call earlier, someone claiming to be from TalkTalk. They said my internet would be cut off because my router was supposedly infected by hackers. Asked me about the lights on my router and then about my computer. Told them I don’t have a computer, just a TV box connected to it. Then the call just dropped. Total scam, just like all these dodgy calls these days.

I got a call from someone saying they were from TalkTalk, threatening to cut off my internet due to a supposedly hacked router. Their English was really poor, and when I mentioned I'd already spoken to TalkTalk about these sorts of calls, they just ended the call straight away. Lately, I've been getting these types of calls pretty often.

So today, Saturday 24th September, I got a call from a woman who spoke very broken English, saying she was calling from TalkTalk about my account. I've already told TalkTalk about it, just like many others have on this site. Makes you think if they really take any action? Their website says they look into scam numbers and block them if proven dodgy, but I’ve yet to see that happen. Would be nice if they actually stuck to what they promise!

This number rang me, but it felt kind of odd compared to others. When I answered, there was nothing but silence at first, then suddenly an automated voice said "goodbye" and the call ended. Quite strange really.

I got a call saying it was from TalkTalk, but I already left them since they got hacked, so I knew straight away it was dodgy. They’re trying to break into folks’ computers which is proper risky. Luckily, my lad is a computer whizz, so I’m confident mine’s safe. When on earth will these scammers be put to an end? They just don’t seem to give up.

Got a call from someone saying they were with TalkTalk, but it was totally dodgy. I had already shut down my TalkTalk account after their hack last year - they told me my info was swiped then. So, looks like these scammers are the ones who nabbed my details in the first place!

Just like everyone else here, they wanted to set up a visit from a TalkTalk engineer but insisted on getting onto my computer first to figure out if I needed a new router. Was pretty clear it was a scam. I'm going to inform TalkTalk since they seem to have real account info. When I questioned them, they just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent who claimed to be from TalkTalk. She already had my account number and asked me to switch on my computer and visit a certain website. I didn’t do it and kept telling her I was wary of the whole thing. Eventually she seemed to lose interest. TalkTalk never use your account number to prove who they are. The same number rang me again today but I just ignored it.

I got a call from this number today claiming to be from Talk Talk. They even had my account number and told me to open some kind of [#]support[###] thing on my PC. When I asked for a callback number, they gave me a 0208 one that seemed legit, but it actually belongs to a different company with no links to Talk Talk. Definitely a scam, and I’ve let Talk Talk know about it.

This number keeps calling me and honestly, today I just picked up without checking who it was. They claimed to be from TalkTalk, but I’m sure they’re not, so I just ended the call. Weirdly, they once mentioned my actual account number. I've told TalkTalk about it, but they don’t seem to do anything about these annoying people. Quite frustrating!

Received a call from someone purporting to be from TalkTalk, insisting that my internet was compromised and would be disconnected for a whole ten days. I played along for a bit, curious about their intentions. They requested I power up my computer, but as I only had a tablet nearby, they became rather irate, questioning why I had even bother to contact them. They then mentioned something about "resolving it on their server," which left me in the dark as to their true motives-definitely smelled fishy!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with TalkTalk, said my internet was compromised. Told me to get on my computer so he could sort it out. I asked how many homes were affected, and he just told me to trust him and listen. So to mess with him, I put Eminem on loudspeaker and then phoned TalkTalk myself. Total scam, no doubt about it!

I had a dodgy experience where someone already had all my TalkTalk details but then tried to hook up PayPal, Western Union and some other services to start stealing cash. I let them have remote access and honestly, I wish I hadn’t. Ended up losing some money through Skype charges and had to hurry up and change all my info. This kind of thing is really risky and seriously needs to be cracked down on!

Been getting calls like this quite a bit. The caller ID showed 1471 and they gave me the number 01254785241 to call back. Tried ringing it but all I got was “the number you’ve dialled is not recognised”. Honestly, not shocked at all!

Got a call from an Asian man with a strong accent who said he was from TalkTalk. He told me my internet was at risk of being disconnected, but the reason wasn’t clear to me. I asked him to confirm some security details. Strange enough, he already knew my full name, address, and account number, but when I asked about my direct debit info or bank details, he couldn’t answer. As soon as I pressed him on that, he just hung up.

So this bloke called me saying he was from TalkTalk at first, telling me my account got hacked and I was gonna be sued or something. Then suddenly he switched and claimed he was from BT instead. The call went on and out of nowhere he started telling me to bugger off and then made some really nasty sexual comments. I just hung up straight away - what a horrible person.
