Feels like it was just a mistaken number!Glasgow3 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number so I just let it ring out. After having a quick look, I'm happy I didn’t answer. Our BT broadband might not be fibre optic, but it’s still pretty reliable!3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Sky about my slow internet. The first lady had a funny accent but seemed genuine enough. Then she passed me to another person who spoke terrible English and it was really hard to understand. When I suggested checking my broadband speed on sky.com for more details, they got rude all of a sudden and the call ended with them saying some horrible things. Not impressed at all.Skysky. com3 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise. It hung up as soon as my answering machine kicked in.

I explained my screen was just black with a white cursor, but he kept pushing me to power it on. After I kept saying I couldn’t, he got really rude and started cursing, so I just hung up on him. Proper unpleasant.BT3 yearsI got a call from someone with a strong foreign accent, saying there was an issue with my Sky broadband. I told them that if they really worked for Sky, they’d know my name and use it. This kind of call has come through a few times in the past weeks, from different numbers, but I reckon it’s probably the same lot ringing me again and again.Sky3 yearsPicked up the phone but no one was there, just silence.3 yearsGot a call from someone in Hemel Hempstead, but as soon as I wouldn’t give them any info, they just hung up.Hemel Hempstead3 yearsSomebody said they were David Willis or something from BT Openreach, rang me today, 26th Sept. They wanted me to check my broadband speed and all the hub lights and that. I told them I was too tied up and to try again tomorrow.

Had a look online and saw loads of people mention this number - sounds pretty dodgy to me!David WillisBT Openreach3 yearsGot a call from someone who wouldn’t say who she was or what company she was from.

He claimed there were issues with my router and offered to fix them. Over the past week, I'd already had about five calls from Virgin tech, all from different phone numbers.

After about five minutes of me saying my laptop was still booting up because it's quite old, he just ended the call.JohnVirgin3 yearsGot a call but no one was there when I picked up.
