I received a call from this number, and the individual on the line claimed to be a technician representing BT. He went on about enhancing my internet speed and inquired whether I was experiencing any issues with my router. The irony is, I don’t even have BT as my internet provider!

I got a call from some guy claiming to be from Microsoft, sounded like he was Indian. When I told him I wouldn’t give my credit card details, he started getting rude. Next time he calls, I’m just gonna blast a loud whistle at him.

Twice today I got calls from 0131 654 2187. The first time they just dropped the call as soon as I picked up. The second time, same boring scam about my computer being hacked or having a virus. Didn’t waste my time, just ended the call straight away.

Some bloke claimed it was Microsoft, said my computer got hacked. The thing is, I ain't got a PC at all! I reckon he wanted me to do something so he could get access to my stuff remotely. Proper dodgy, that. Wouldn't trust it for a second!

Got a call from 01316542187 again today. Pretty sure I’ve lost count of how many times this number has rung me. Every time I answer, there’s nothing but silence, so I try saying hello a few times, then a recorded message pops up just to say goodbye before hanging up. It’s so annoying! How come they haven’t just blocked this number yet? I’m sure the phone company must know where these calls are coming from and could easily shut it down. This is getting out of hand.

Got a call from some guy claiming he was from BT, said there was a problem with my internet being dangerous or something. I told him the internet line wasn't mine but my parents’ and that they weren't around. He got a bit angry and said since I’m part of the family, I had to follow his instructions or else he’d cut off the internet. Proper nag.

Some bloke rang me claiming he was from Microsoft and asked if I could switch my computer on because apparently it was at risk - I honestly thought they stopped running that aged trick ages ago!

Every day, I get about two or three calls from some bloke claiming to be from BT internet, which I don’t even have. It’s clearly a scam. I’ve started keeping a whistle near the phone and give it a good blast whenever they ring - it’s really satisfying!

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent on 01316542187 claiming to be from B.T. He said my router was hacked and I needed a new IP address. He rang me last week as well, called me a liar, so I just ended the call. Today, when I said I thought it was a scam, he lost his temper big time, started shouting and calling me all sorts of nasty names like “f***ing stupid woman” and worse. The language was disgusting, so I hung up quick. Really tempted to report him but no clue who to contact about it.

We got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent and my missus just hung up straight away. Definitely one of those scam calls. Honestly, these things are getting more obvious every time, feels like a bad joke with all the nonsense they come up with nowadays.

Some bloke with an Indian accent named Alex phoned me claiming he was from BT. He asked me to grab my mobile and open some link or whatever. When I told him I didn’t have any BT account, he got proper annoyed and started calling me a liar. I told him he was the one lying. After a bit of back and forth, he said I was wasting his time and just hung up!

I just got a call from an Indian guy on 0131 6542187. When I called him a scammer, he got quiet. I asked for his IP address and he couldn’t give me one. I kept him on the phone for a bit so he wouldn’t trick anyone else, then told him to get lost.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent talking about some issues with my internet. I told him I don’t even have the internet, and out of nowhere he starts shouting and threatening my family. Before I could even reply, he hung up on me. Some people are just horrible, words can’t really explain how bad that was. Proper nasty behaviour.

Whenever I get one of those calls, I just go along with whatever they say, acting like I’m doing it all. Then I keep telling them nothing’s changed, no result so far, till they finally lose it. Once, I even managed to get one caller to curse at me. Hilarious!

Got a call from some bloke from India claiming my internet was sketchy. I told him it wasn’t, and then he started swearing at me. Ridiculous behaviour, whoever they were. I’ve gone ahead and reported it to the cops.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who somehow knew my name. He went on about some internet issues and errors popping up from my ISP. I told him I don’t even have internet at all. He kept insisting I did and accused me of lying, saying I had BT broadband. I kept denying having any internet or the devices he was talking about. Eventually, he just gave up and said, “Madam, you’re lying, how do you even sleep at night?” Pretty weird call if you ask me.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from BT internet. It just didn’t seem legit at all, especially since they didn’t know my name or if I even had BT as my provider. I told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call pretty quickly.

Got a call about some kind of issue with my router. I told the person that our IT team would handle it, then I just hung up. Then, they rang back saying they’d block my internet if I didn’t listen. Pretty annoying!

this bloke rang saying he was working for microsoft and my computer was in danger of being hacked. he said he could help fix it. to convince me, he read out my pc's licence number, so i thought he was legit. but when I asked what the issue actually was, he wouldn’t say and just kept repeating the same thing, sounding more annoyed each time. I told him I was too busy to deal with it. that was that from me.

Got a call from some place that sounded like an Indian call centre. The person on the line mumbled a lot and never said their name or the company they were calling from. Also, weirdly, they claimed to have my number, which is supposedly unlisted and registered with TPS.
