Got a voicemail warning me that my national insurance was going to be suspended if I didn’t get in touch right away. Totally a scam, don’t fall for it.

Got a call from 01298 518290 telling me there was some strange stuff happening with my broadband and that they’d disconnect me in a day or so. Pretty obvious that was a scam.

Got a few calls in a row and no one said who they were, so I figured it was dodgy. They rang three times back to back. Pretty sure they’re not from BT because if they were, they’d probably know how to get past their own call blocking system.

total scam, claimed they were from BT but didnt bother with any security checks. instead, they wanted me to download teamviewer from the app store so they could access my phone. i suspected straight away, played along for a bit then lost it. told them they were scammers and they denied it. hung up on them. really frustrating that people like this are out there, targeting folks who wouldnt know any better. had an asian accent.

Got a call from an Asian guy asking about my internet because my speed was supposedly slow. He also wanted info about my router and asked me to log into my laptop. I wasn’t comfortable with it, so I just hung up straight away.

I've had calls from them multiple times yesterday and they've already rung me 7 times today. They claim to be from BT, saying my bill hasn't been settled and they're about to disconnect me. Every time, they try get me to confirm bits of my bank details, like they’re collecting info to get into my account. Just not right.

Somebody rang up, said they were with BT, saying our internet had issues and strangers were trying to use it. You could hear a noisy call centre in the background. They asked to get onto my computer to sort it out. I wasnt sure if they were legit or just scammers.

I received a phone call from a chap claiming to be from BT, insisting that our internet was under attack. He wanted me to jump on my computer, but when I declined, he abruptly ended the call. - The caller had an accent that sounded Asian and introduced himself as John!

I received a call from this number a few days back-what a familiar tone it had! It immediately set off my suspicion, so I hung up. The caller ID flits between “International” (a clear red flag) and “01298 790085.” They’ve just tried reaching me again, but as soon as I picked up, they disconnected. I've got my plan sorted for the next time; I've got a piercing panic alarm at the ready to handle the conversation for me! - number: 01298790085

Received a call from a woman with an accent that seemed Asian, claiming to be from BT, insisting my internet had been compromised. The caller ID came up as international. She requested that I switch on my computer so she could guide me through a series of steps. I decided it was best to hang up and tried to ring back, but the line was busy. I've since blocked the number. Caller: 01298790085.
