Definitely a scam, be careful!

Got a call from an Asian bloke about a dodgy computer, he sounded super bored and after a quick yawn I just blocked the number!

Got loads of calls from this number lately. After checking the reviews, looks like it’s one of those BT scam calls. If they try again when I’m not working tomorrow, they’re in for a rude awakening! What a bunch of muppets.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he was from BT, saying my computer was full of viruses and someone had hacked my account. I told him I don't even own a computer and he just slammed the phone down on me. Proper rude guy. I've blocked the number now so they can't bother me again.

Total scam. This bloke claimed to be from BT but when I asked him for his employee ID, he just cut me off. I reckon he knew he was caught. Even if he’d gave me a number, I wasn’t gonna trust it and would’ve ended the call straight away.

Got some bloke from India calling again, just giggled when I picked up. Bloody time waster, what a pain in the neck.

At about 2:50 in the afternoon, I got a call and when I picked up, some robot just said "goodbye" and then ended the call. Seriously, what’s the point of that rubbish? Such a pointless waste of my time.

Somebody called saying they were from BT, but I knew something was off right away. I told the woman I was on the Telephone Preference Service, hoping she'd back off. She kept going on about some harmful software I'd supposedly downloaded, but when I asked her to prove she was from BT, she just ended the call.

This morning I got a ring from 01288 373658, I said hello but there was no reply, then they just cut me off. Another pesky call to add to the list.

Got a call from some bloke, kept hearing him chuckling quietly in the silences. Then he just ended the call out of the blue.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be BT saying there was an issue with my computer. Funny thing is, I only use Macs, so that was a dead giveaway this was just another petty scammer from India.

Today I got a call from this number. A bloke with an Indian accent said he was from BT's fraud team and wanted to link into my computer to prove someone was trying to hack me. Honestly, if anyone ever asks to access your device like that, just disconnect straight away. They'll probably load up some dodgy software that wrecks your PC and then hit you up for a ransom, or even nick your personal info to use it fraudulently. Stay safe out there.

I really hate those scammers from India, they’re the worst! Can't put up with them anymore!

Just got a call from someone claiming to be from BT saying my landline, which I use for internet, had been compromised! Even though I'm not with BT. They asked me to get on my computer and open Google. I wasn’t convinced and asked if I could call BT myself to check. The voice, which sounded Indian, hung up straight away. Watch out for this sort of scam!

Loads of people I know keep getting scam calls from this exact number. I ended up talking to them for quite a while - their whole pitch was about selling a call blocking device. I decided to mess with them a bit by feeding them fake card info. It must be really annoying for them because they keep ringing back, demanding a payment of £169. Guess I’ve got time to burn, so why not?

Spoke in a different language, told them we didn’t get what they were saying and then they just ended the call!

Got a ring from the same little crook as always. Proper dull, honestly.

Some bloke called saying he was with BT and told me there was some dodgy software on my computer that I needed to fix. He mentioned he was Indian but phoning from London or somewhere. Then he said they found an issue linked to my address. When I asked him to confirm my address, he just cut the call. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

I got a call, but the person on the other end was speaking in some kind of Asian language. When I asked who it was, they didn’t answer. Also, there was loads of noise in the background, which made it hard to hear.

They called me like 8 times from early morning around 7:45 until mid afternoon at about 2:30. Honestly, do they think I’m daft? Like, if I’ve blocked the number already, why would I suddenly answer? Not falling for it!!

Got a call just after 1:30 in the afternoon, but I let it ring through to voicemail. Didn’t leave any message, so no clue who it might have been.

I had a rather pesky phone call this morning from the number 01288 373658. I picked up and greeted the caller, but to my dismay, there was silence on the other end. Just another bothersome interruption!
