I got a call claiming to be from BT security saying someone hacked my BT internet. The person was quite pushy, trying to get me to log into my computer. I refused and ended the call after about 15 minutes.

Dodgy call from someone claiming to be Lucas at BT saying my internet was at risk. When I told him I was an IT engineer and didn’t need help (which I'm not, but neither is he), he got pretty annoyed. He promptly ended the call when I asked for proof of who he was. I’ve reported the number to the UK Police Fraud team by texting 'Call 01316698479' to 7726. If more people did this, along with dropping notes here, it’d make it harder for these scammers to operate.

Got a missed call but they didn’t leave any message. Could it be a scam or what?

For the past three weeks or so, this number keeps ringing me multiple times a week saying they're from BT and there's an issue with my broadband. I don’t even have BT for any of my services. Total scam, honestly just let them go on and then hang up straight away.

For the past three weeks, this number keeps ringin me every few days sayin it's BT with a problem on my broadband. I don’t even use BT for my internet. Every call it’s a bloke on the line so I just say “no thanks” and hang up. Sounds like a total scam to me, so I just let him jabber a bit then drop the call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, saying our broadband was having issues and our line sent a message about it. I didn’t buy it and ended up hanging up since Virgin usually calls my husband’s mobile, not our landline. Seemed fishy to me.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be with Virgin Media saying there was an issue with my line. When I asked for more details, I wasn’t too keen to share info and she just ended the call. Pretty sure it was a scam.
