All the time, usually around 8 or 9 at night, they keep calling asking for the main person of the house. When I say I have no idea who they’re talking about, they start getting rude and ask who I am instead. Now, I just block the calls since they always come from similar numbers with just a few digits changed.

When I checked with HMRC, they confirmed it was a scam. I then asked them what actions they were taking, like police involvement or investigations, but the only thing they mentioned was warnings on their website about these scams.

Throughout the past year, I have received numerous phone calls from individuals with strong accents. However, today's call was different as the person speaking was articulate and lacked any discernible accent. At first, I suspected it might be a friend pulling a prank on me. But when the caller brought up BT and broadband, I became suspicious and quickly ended the call. Before hanging up, I made sure to jot down the number and reported the incident to BT for further investigation.

I have been receiving calls from this number for the past five weeks. It's always an Indian man with an Indian accent, and he calls around 10:30 to 12:00 pm every day. He claims that my internet line will be cut off if I don't do what he says because he's supposedly from BT.
Curious about his whereabouts, I asked him where the BT office is located. To my surprise, he claimed it was in London but his English accent was really poor. I also noticed that he became agitated and hung up when I questioned him further.
It's quite infuriating to deal with these fraudulent individuals.

Definitely a SCAM, they’re trying to start a chat before likely asking to access your computer. Marked as dodgy for sure.

According to him, he was at the exchange searching for issues with my internet speed. He requested that I turn on my laptop so he could conduct some tests.
