Got a call from 01285811093 warning that my internet was going to be cut off, and they asked me to press 1, 2, or 3 to get back to them. We didn't answer because it felt like a dodgy scam.

Got a call from this number, and you could hear loads of noise like it was coming from a busy call centre. A lady with an Indian accent said she was from BT's Tech Support. She warned me my internet was about to get cut off the next day or something. I wasn't impressed and showed my concern, then she just hung up on me. I've blocked the number now.

Got a ring from this number at around 11:52 today but when I picked up, there was nothing but silence. I tried to ring back but some automated voice told me the number doesn't exist. Proper annoying, especially since I had to rush inside from the garden with my dodgy knee. All that hassle for no reason at all.

The guy had a strong Asian accent and sounded pretty convincing, claiming he was from BT. He went on about some sort of broadband issue and said an engineer would be sent out, warning that my internet would be down for weeks. Seemed dodgy to me, especially since my real provider assured me everything was fine. He gave a phone number supposedly from Aberdeen, but the call actually came from a 01285 code. When someone in the house got suspicious and called it out as a scam, he quickly hung up.

Got a call from some bloke claiming he’s from BT’s tech team. He said my internet was getting hacked and asked me to note down a code to supposedly fix it. He also said a tech would visit my place the next day. I just ended the call right away.

Got a call from this number saying my BT internet might get cut off. I told them no chance, then the person got all sullen and told me to wait and watch. After that, they just hung up on me!

Got a call today from some clueless scammer pretending to be from BT Technical about supposed problems with my router. I said, "Funny you mention that - BT were here just last week warning me about scammers like you trying to trick people into giving them access." That really threw him off, and he started cursing like mad, haha. I just told him cheers for calling and hoped he has a nice day anyway.

Got another call like this within a day, supposedly from BT's tech support saying my phone would be cut off soon. The guy on the line had an Asian accent and got really mad when I joked about whether his folks were aware he was pulling a scam. Then he just dropped the call on me!

I missed their call ’cause I wasn’t home, and of course they didn't bother leaving any message. Just another pointless call to add to my do-not-answer list. What a waste of time!

I got a ring from this number earlier. The bloke sounded foreign and claimed he was from BT, warning that my internet would be cut off tonight. When I asked how he even got past my call blocker, he just dropped the call straight away. I also heard quite a bit of noise in the background. Lately, I've been getting loads of similar calls from numbers that are only a bit different each time.

Just got a call like the guy mentioned before, a bloke with a foreign accent. He even pretended his name was Andy Carroll and claimed he was from London. When I asked where he lived, he quickly ended the call. Weird!

Got a call from some bloke pretending he was from BT, saying our broadband would be cut off for a few weeks or longer. Felt like a dodgy scam, so I dropped the call and rang BT myself to check. I've also reported the number now!

This number rang me twice early in the morning on consecutive days. When I picked up, there was silence from the other end. I attempted to block it using 14713, but it said the number couldn't be found. I guess it's probably a landline.

As soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just ended the call right away.
