Got a phone call from someone claiming to be BT broadband, sounded like one of those scam calls.

Some woman with an Asian accent called me up, saying hackers were using my broadband for cyber crimes and asked if I could get online so she could help fix it. I told her I didn’t feel right about it and that I’d contact BT myself. She insisted she could show she was from BT but I told her I’d prefer to ring BT directly. Then she just ended the call.

This morning, I got a phone call from a bloke with an Indian accent, telling me there was an alert about someone trying to mess with my internet. He asked what sort of gadgets I had hooked up to my Wi-Fi - like computers or laptops. After that, he said he’d connect me to a senior tech expert to sort out the 'hackers'. I just ended the call right away.

This number has been ringing me up almost daily for more than a week. I stopped picking up after a bit. Today, they said they were calling about someone trying to hack my internet. Bit fishy if you ask me.

Got a call from some Asian bloke claiming to be from BT, saying my computer was hacked. They had no clue if I even owned a computer or a tablet. When I told them I'd phone BT to check, they messed up and admitted BT never ring up about scams. Watch out for this one, dodgy lot!

Got a call from someone with a really strong Asian accent, sounded like they were just reading off a script. Claimed they were calling from BT in London, which I knew wasn't right.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT's tech support. I asked straight if it was a scam and if I should report her, which made her get a bit annoyed. Then she said I wasn’t even a BT customer and started rambling about BT shutting down all broadband before other providers do. Didn’t fancy sharing any details with her, so I just ended the call.

I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming she was from BT. She kept asking "Are you there?" over and over, which sounded fishy to me. I've read about scams where they try to record you saying "yes" and then use that recording to trick you into agreeing to pay for stuff. So I just kept saying the same line back to her until she got fed up and ended the call.

Beware, total scam! Got a call from a woman who sounded Asian, said she was from BT. She asked me to let her into my computer to ‘fix’ supposed problems.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said her name was Nancy. She claimed there was an issue with my BT broadband and that hackers were involved. I played along until she asked me to switch on my computer so she could access it. I then told her I don’t even use BT for internet and called her out as a scammer. She got a bit hostile before hanging up. This is actually the second time this week someone’s called about BT broadband problems, but from a different number. Surely they know about the fines BT’s been slapped with recently?

For the last couple of weeks, I've been getting loads of calls from someone claiming to be from BT’s tech support. They keep asking to access my computer, but when I asked for evidence, they couldn’t show any and got quite rude. I checked with BT directly, and they told me it’s definitely a scam.

Best to just ignore these calls! They’re all scams and honestly, they don't even sound believable. They usually claim to be from BT Openreach right away, and if you tell them you don’t use BT, they’ll try to name all sorts of other providers like Sky or TalkTalk to keep you on the line. Most of the time the caller has an Asian accent, whether male or female. Just hang up and report them to TPS. If you have any problems with your internet, stick to contacting your actual provider directly.

Got two calls from this number. They acted like they were from BT, but the accent was really strong, like someone calling from overseas. Definitely felt like a call centre. They told me there was something wrong with my internet. Pretty obvious it was a con, but with all the issues I’ve had with BT lately, it was a bit convincing.

Classic scam call - they ask if you’re on your computer, trying to trick you into pressing some keys so they can take control remotely. Then they’ll say they found a major virus or something wrong with your PC, of course charging you to fix it. At first, the call came through with ‘unavailable, out of area’ and we ignored it. But no more than a minute later, we got another one showing this exact number on the caller ID. They clearly realise people are more likely to pick up if the number looks legit!

I got a call from a lady speaking with a really thick foreign accent, maybe from Asia, saying she worked for BT and that my internet was under attack. Then she passed me over to a bloke with a similar accent who said his name was Alex Jones. He started warning me about my broadband being hacked and kept asking about what gadgets I had connected. I didn't give him anything and after a fairly lengthy chat, he just hung up on me. He wasn’t very friendly when I called him out on it being a scam.

He warned me I'd get nicked if the cops found out since it’d look like I was the culprit. I just told him I'd rather risk it than believe his rubbish, and even joked about where he came from.

Got two calls today from different people, first a bloke then a lady, both with really dodgy English saying they were from BT and that our internet was being hacked. The guy, who said his name was David, gave me this phone number 02030971621 and a BT staff ID BT0119. My partner had been called by that same number before and they even connected her to someone pretending to be Bill Gates. When she mentioned it was odd that "Bill Gates," an American, had such a strong Asian accent, the callers got rude and she ended the call.
