I got a call from 01257856948 right after hanging up with a guy from Talk Talk who had a strong Indian accent. I’d just told my daughter I thought he was stalling me because he kept repeating the same questions about my broadband issues. My family suggested I should get in touch with Talk Talk again, but seeing that others have tried with no results, it feels pointless. What a waste of time!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with BT asking about my internet. I told them it sounded like a spam call and they just ended the call straight away.

I got a call from this number claiming there was a problem with my internet security and threatened to disconnect me in a day if I didn’t press 1. I just ended the call straight away, and thankfully, I’m signed up to call blocking now.

I got a call earlier from someone claiming to be with my internet provider, saying they’d been watching my router all week and there were some problems. I asked which provider they were with and they said Virgin. I told them I’d call Virgin myself to make sure and then they just ended the call on me!!

Got a call out of the blue from someone claiming to be my internet provider. They said they’d been keeping an eye on my router for the past week and found some problems. When I asked which company they were with, they said Virgin. I told them I’d call Virgin myself to sort it out, and then they just cut me off! Really dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call earlier from some bloke pretending to be from BT - what a load of rubbish. These muppets are honestly just pathetic. I really hope they wake up and decide to stop ripping people off and start doing something actually useful for once instead of nicking cash from hardworking folks. Proper numbskulls.

Got a call round 8:45 from a bloke saying he was a BT engineer. Sounded Indian and was a male voice. I wasn’t exactly friendly with him. Then suddenly he started threatening to “come and k##l us” because apparently we’d taken his money or something. Proper scary. I’ve reported it to the police. The number showed up as being from Coppull, Lancs.

Ever since I reached out to TalkTalk regarding my internet speed, I’ve been bombarded with loads of dodgy calls. It feels like their call centre staff must be leaking customer info to scammers or something. Tried getting help from TalkTalk but they just ignore it all. Really frustrating.

Got a call this morning around 8:45 from 01257856948. It went straight to voicemail and as soon as it connected, the caller just dropped the call without saying anything or leaving a message. Quite odd really.

Looks like this was another scam call like others have mentioned up top. They didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. Does anyone even bother checking these comments? I’m reporting silent ring calls, timeshare offers and internet or phone scams nearly every day. I thought they were meant to be cracking down on these callers and putting an end to it so folks wouldn't get hassled constantly.

Got a call from the 01257 856948 earlier, it was a lady who said she was from BT. She told me someone was trying to hack into our internet and asked me to get on my computer so she could help fix it. I wasn’t having any of it and said no thanks!

Someone rang up pretending to be from BT, claiming my internet was at risk and that others were using my IP address. I panicked and was like, “Oh my god! What should I do?” But the bloke started going off, mumbling stuff I couldn’t catch properly. After asking him twice to repeat, on the third time I was like, “Sorry, what was that?” Then he went quiet for a moment and bluntly said, “I’m trying to say you’re a total arsehole!” before just hanging up. I’m definitely reporting that rude behaviour to BT!

I've had calls up to three times a day, it's honestly too much and feels like harassment. This kind of thing can really stress out older folks and needs to be stopped. Best thing is to just hang up immediately and not say a word to them.

Some bloke called me saying he was from BT about my internet. I told him to jog on since I don’t even have internet here, and my phone’s not with BT either. Don’t get why he bothered ringing me at all.

The "your router or internet's about to be shut off" scam is becoming super common. They're getting really sneaky now, faking loads of different numbers so call blockers can't catch them. Seems like they’re getting more desperate by the day.

Got a call from someone saying they were from the main internet network support for every provider. The lady sounded Indian and kept asking what my internet provider was and where they got my info. I couldn't give any answers. She said my internet would be down for the next 10 to 15 days and wanted to check if I knew about it. Seriously, don’t these lot know about GDPR rules?

I missed the call by a few seconds before it went straight to voicemail, then as soon as that happened, the call just dropped. After seeing other comments, I’m not gonna bother answering if they call again. Not sure if this is connected, but earlier today I got a couple of calls from withheld numbers saying my internet was hacked. When I told them they were scammers, they just hung up right away.

Had another call from someone pretending to be from BT internet. I wasn’t too pleased, so I just told a small white lie. They were yapping for ages, probably long enough for BT to track them down, then the line went dead.
