001296584892 Some bloke rang me claiming to be from SKY sayin I had money owed from over 15 years ago. They had loads of info on me, so I said to send a letter. Then a woman, said she was a "supervisor", came on and claimed SKY never sends letters. I told them I’d ring SKY myself, which I did after hanging up. They were after my bank details and all. I spoke to SKY and they’ve now reported it to their complaints team. They also told me to get in touch with Action Fraud.

Just like the rest, they said I'd get a new router in a few days and a £200 refund for being a loyal BT customer. Had about 3 more calls after that, but I told them I didn't trust who they claimed to be. Haven't had any contact since then.

6th August - Got a call from a woman who said her name was Margret and she was ringing from Telecom. I told her I don’t know any Margret, she doesn’t know me, and I’ve never signed up with Telecom. So why are you ringing random people then? She insisted she knew me well, said she was Margret from Telecom - I said no, never heard of you, why bother calling strangers on a Saturday afternoon? She snapped, 'You don’t remember because you’re an idiot.' I replied, 'Alright, if I'm an idiot, why are you bothering with idiots like me? Why not call clever people instead?' She just kept saying she was calling me and tried to explain stuff, but I kept saying I’m an idiot so don’t waste your breath. Then out of nowhere, she ended the call with a loud bang. Weirdest call ever!

This morning I got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from British Telecom. He said they’d been receiving loads of complaints about my phone line not working properly, then asked if I was sat at my computer right now. I told him straight he wasn’t a BT engineer. When he asked why, I said because no real BT staff would be ringing me from this number. I rang BT myself and reported the call, gave them the number. They said they’d never ring me unless I’d reached out first. Hopefully they take action but somehow I doubt it.

Over the last couple of days, a caller from 01296651175 claiming to be Oliver from BT has been ringing. They kept going on about our router which was really frustrating as we actually ARE experiencing problems with our Broadband and had an Open Reach engineer visit recently. When I mentioned this, thinking it might be legit since it matched up, the bloke just called me a liar.

Another dodgy number again: I've called BT before to report numbers like this so they can look into it or ban them. But seeing how many calls are shown here and thinking there’s loads more that aren’t even recorded, I’m starting to think BT doesn’t mind these calls going on - probably makes them a bit of cash from it.

I told him no way, if there’s an issue just send me something in writing and I ended the call.

Got a call today from an Asian woman claiming my husband’s router and PC had been sending error alerts for the past two weeks! Which is laughable since our internet was only just set up this morning and we hadn’t even had a router, landline or PC connected for a couple months! Anyway, they kept changing their story, asking my husband to switch on his PC and give them remote access to “sort out” the problems hahaha! Well, my husband found it hilarious and played along, winding up the caller until he got fed up and then casually dropped a few truths before they hung up.

Had a call from a woman with a South Asian accent today. She claimed to be from BT regarding my broadband router. There was a short pause, so I told her to go ahead. She responded with, "You want me to go on with you?" I attempted to clarify, but she just launched into a barrage of rude and offensive language. Feels like she was having a childish outburst, probably because I told another scam caller earlier to leave me alone.

This number keeps ringing me daily, sometimes even a few times in one day. The connection is rubbish and it's an Asian bloke on the line. I've told them loads of times to quit ringing me. They've already called 3 times just today. Really annoying. I'm gonna get a phone that lets me block numbers properly.

Some bloke with an Asian accent called me, claiming to be from British Telecom and said there was an issue with my router, that it had errors or something. He wanted to remotely access my PC to 'fix' it. I told him everything was fine on my end and that I was sure he wasn’t really with BT. I then asked for the company’s real name. He mumbled something so quietly I could barely hear it. I asked him to say it again, but it was still faint, and all I caught was the word "sky" before he just hung up.

This number 01296 651175 rang me twice earlier. They said they were from BT and that there was something wrong with my router. They told me to switch on my PC and stuff. Eventually they just ended the call. I told BT about it, and they reckon that even though the number looks like Aylesbury, it’s likely a scam call coming from overseas.

Got a call earlier from someone claiming to be with BT. She started by asking how I was, I said alright, then asked what she wanted (I had a strong feeling it was a scam). Suddenly she shouted that I was lying and not with BT, then hung up on me. I’m really sick of these calls telling me I’ve got a BT router, which is totally not true. They ring me multiple times a week and this was the most rude one so far. I even signed up for the TPS to block this rubbish but obviously they’ve found a way around it.

Got a call from an Asian guy trying to scam me by saying he needed access to my modem router. When I asked him to take my number off his list, he got really rude and told me to talk properly!!!

Today, this number rang my BT home phone a couple of times! I thought my number was ex-directory, but somehow it seems like it’s been shared all over, from the UK to places like Peru and Egypt. Looks like this call came from Avebury in the UK.

Had a call from an Asian lady claiming to be from BT, saying there was something wrong with our internet. I kept telling her it was fine and that nothing was wrong, but she seemed to get quite annoyed after I said it a few times and then just hung up. I told her not to call again, but I’m sure they’ll just keep ringing anyway.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent calling himself Jerry (seriously?) saying he was from BT and my router was 'broken'. He wanted me to turn on my PC so he could 'fix' it. I told him I was a Sky customer to throw him off (I’m not, mind), then asked him to give me my BT account number to prove who he was. He called me a fibber and then just hung up! That number’s definitely blocked now.

They claimed to be from BT saying my router was messed up, but they really just wanted my bank info and for me to log into their so-called "website" to install some program so they could get into my PC. I actually enjoy these calls and see how long I can keep them talking - this one lasted a good 24 minutes before they finally gave up and hung up. Pretty sure I won this round!

Got a call from an Asian guy saying he was from BT, telling me my router was throwing error alerts and that someone was trying to hack into it. I told him straight up that it’s one of the oldest scams out there (started with those fake Microsoft security calls). He just hung up on me.

Got a call from an Asian lady, line sounded like she was miles away. Said she was calling from BT and my computer was causing loads of issues messing with my router. Told me to go to my PC and she'd guide me to fix these supposed bugs. I asked for her name, something like Jennifer, and then asked for her number. She just cut the call! I've since reported it to actionfraud on their website.

My mum got a call from someone saying they were from BT, using the number 01296651175. They convinced her there was a problem with her computer and somehow got her to let them access it. After that, they erased all her data, including years of family pictures and emails. Then they even tried asking for her bank info! Mum ended the call, but they kept ringing so much she had to take the phone off the hook. I was with her when they called again and told them I'd report them if they didn’t stop.

This number just rang me up and I’m not even with BT anymore, lol. I told the bloke straight up he was trying to scam me. Then he got all nosy asking if I’m married (like that’s any of his business!). I said no, and then he had the cheek to ask my age. I told him it’s rude to ask a lady that. I insisted he remove my number from whatever system he's got. Suddenly, he starts saying he wants to marry me and claiming he loves me. I just hung up. For the next 15 minutes, he kept ringing me non-stop and each time I cut the call. On the last call, I just let it ring out and ignored it.

Got a call from some bloke with an Asian accent saying he was from BT, saying our router had a problem. My husband answered and just messed about for like a minute, letting the guy go on about the supposed 'fault'. Then he finally told the scammer to "get lost!" Brilliant way to waste their time!

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying she was from BT. She told me my computer was creating dangerous files that could mess up my wifi router. When my partner, who knows a lot about IT, asked her to explain how that’s possible, she just hung up. Pretty obvious scam to me. I’m reporting it to Action Fraud via their website www.actionfraud.police.uk to make sure they’re aware.

I got a call from this number, bloke with an Asian accent saying his name was "Brett" and that he was from B.T., telling me my router had some issues. I asked for a contact number so I could verify he was actually with B.T., and out of nowhere he told me to "f*** off" and hung up. I'm going to report this to the police and B.T. straight away.

Today I got a call from someone claiming to be from BT because my internet was playing up. I followed all their instructions at first, but then they suddenly asked for my bank info. When I said no, they threatened to mess with my computer saying they had access - and they actually went through with it.

01296651175 - blocked straight away. This site is amazing, and when you pair it with a call blocker phone, it’s like you’ve got total power over those annoying scammers. Such a relief not having to hear them ring, and I actually enjoy checking the missed calls just to block them permanently. If you’re upset about these calls, don’t be - get yourself a call blocker phone. Honestly, best buy I’ve made in ages.

Same here, got about five calls in the last two days. The bloke sounded Indian, claiming to be from BT, saying there was some issue with my router causing slow internet. When he asked if I was on my PC I said NO and told him I'd ring back later. He just hung up. That was yesterday and they’re still ringing, but now I just ignore and hang up straight away.

I just got a call from this number, some guy called Christian saying he's from British Telecom. He told me there was a problem with my router and asked me to give him access to my computer to fix it. Then he asked me to press the ctrl key and wanted to know what key was next to it (I obviously didn’t do that!). I cut him off and told him I’m not even a BT customer, then he just hung up.

Got loads of calls from this number, saying it's BT. But when you call them out, they just either hang up or start being really rude and aggressive. Surely BT knows this number is being abused? Can't they do something to block these annoying calls? The worst part is we were expecting some really important family news twice, and coz of all these calls, we missed one of them. Proper frustrating!

Total con. Got two calls today, both from someone with an Asian accent claiming to work for BT, asking if I'd noticed my internet had been slow lately. Told them I already emailed BT about this last week and asked if they could read my email back to prove they were legit... then they just hung up. Suspicious, right?! I'm guessing they want you to follow some steps so they can control your computer and nick your bank details, passwords and all that. WATCH OUT!

I asked the caller for his EIN (it's like a staff ID that tracks every time someone access your account) and he just ended the call! I’ve just given the security team a ring and told them about it, but apparently they’ve seen that number before!

These lot have rung me up three times just today. Some bloke with an Indian accent saying he’s from BT. He says there’s an issue with my router and they’ll send me a new one. But first, I have to get on my computer and help HIM fix it. Haha, do they really think we’re daft? I told him to piss off, and not very nicely either.

Got a call from an asian guy claiming to be BT Tech support, said my router was causing issues with my computers. I told him his phone line sounded bad and I was struggling to hear, then he just hung up on me. This number has been ringing me for days but I was never home to answer until today. This isn’t the first time either, loads of calls like this lately... they want me to cough up £15 for TPS, send an engineer to fix their dodgy database or make a payment to keep telecom services upgraded. Honestly, I'm proper fed up now!

Someone said they were from BT. Looks like they’re using UK landline codes now, but the calls actually come from abroad. I called BT and they didn’t really care about the UK numbers being used, just kept pushing me to buy new blocking phones. Told them they should fix the issue themselves and block the number, but apparently they can’t because it’s an overseas call. What a load of rubbish.

BT scam again - seriously why isnt BT sorting this out? how are these guys getting the numbers they’re calling from? this place is in India but uses UK numbers they rent, so who actually should be shutting them down??? They’re both pushy and downright scary, feels like harassment calls. is there any law against this or is BT just turning a blind eye to the whole thing?

01296 651175 called claiming to be from BT. They said there was an issue with the router and asked my partner to press the Windows key and R at the same time. She played along a bit before saying she was only 12, which seemed to annoy him as he then started saying inappropriate stuff. I grabbed the phone and told him off, and he told me to f##k off. Then someone else got on the line. When I asked for their name, they said Tom Cruise, told me to f##k off again and hung up. I’ll be reporting this both to BT and the police.

So, this bloke finally said he was Richard calling from BT about some issue with our router. He had a really thick Asian accent, which made it a bit hard to understand. I asked him where he got our number from, and he claimed it was from BT themselves. I told him we were on the TPS register because we don't like getting unsolicited calls. Plus, we never agreed to get cold calls from BT. Without a word, he just hung up on me. Pretty relieved about that, honestly.

Properly fed up with these calls - already had three today. Reported them to BT this afternoon. Told the bloke on the phone straight he was full of it. Got a right aggressive reaction. How thick do they reckon I am? I don’t usually pick up, but this time it looked like a UK number calling. What’s the use of signing up with the TPS if they’re powerless to stop this rubbish? I can deal with it, but imagine how scary it must be for older folks.

Somebody said they were from BT and said there was an issue with my router, but I just told them my router’s working fine and I’m not even a BT customer! Like plenty of folks here, I’m so used to these scams I can spot ’em straight away, not very clever are they?

Got a call on 27th Sept 2016 from someone whose accent was so thick it was nearly impossible to get what they were saying. Definitely not a BT rep though. They tried the classic scam about some errors, which I’ve heard loads of times before. When I called them out on it, the person just hung up. Does anyone know if this number is based in Aylesbury or connected to somewhere in India?

Just like everyone else here, I got a call from someone saying they're BT, telling me to enter stuff on my computer. I just mess around and keep them on the line pretending to cooperate. Then when they asked, "What do you see on your screen?" I shot back, "It says you've just wasted 5 minutes of your day. Do you think I'm daft or something?" They hung up straight away. For me, the longer I keep them chatting, the less time they’ve got to pull the scam on someone else.
