Received a call today from 07510268800 about a £2500 refund supposedly from Gladstone Brooks. They asked me to send a cheque to the address they have listed. Not holding my breath that the cheque will actually arrive, quite sceptical about the whole thing.

Got a robotic call telling me my internet would be disconnected unless I pressed a button. Thing is, I got the same exact message from a different number just a few days back. Clearly a scam, but honestly, it's so frustrating and feels like harassment.

Didn’t get any voicemail, seems like a scam to me!

Thankfully, our call blocker stopped the phone from ringing at all. Didn’t get a single ring inside the house. Blocked them straight away.

This number has rung me quite a few times warning that my internet IP has been hacked. What really creeped me out was when they said it was Shirley calling - and that’s actually my name, so it totally threw me off!

I've received multiple calls from this number lately, and every time I pick up, it's the same automated voice urging me to press 1, claiming that my IP address has been breached. It's obvious that this is nothing more than a scam!

I keep receiving calls from numbers that are unfamiliar to me. I’ve registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet the nuisance calls just keep coming!

I received an automated phone call from a female voice, claiming my computer had been hacked and would face imminent shutdown within hours. I was prompted to press #1 if I wished to chat with a technician. It's evident this is a scam, and it poses a real risk to anyone who might be tempted to comply with the instructions from this unknown number.

I got a call from some robot lady saying my computer was hacked and that it would shut down soon. She told me to hit #1 to talk to a technician and stop it. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

Got another robo call from someone calling themselves “shirley”, so I just hung up straight away.

I just had a rather baffling encounter with a bloke purporting to be from BT, threatening to cut off my internet connection unless I did as he said...

Some dodgy lot pretending to be my internet provider called me, saying they'd cut me off. It's not even my actual ISP! I wonder how many folks who might not be so sharp fall for this trick?

This morning I got a call saying my internet was gonna be disconnected later today and if I wanted more info to press 1. I pressed it but no one picked up, so I just hung up.

I got a call from what I think was my internet provider saying my service is getting shut off. The whole thing was done by some daft robotic voice.

I’ve just listened to a voicemail from a rather dodgy-sounding chap. He had a thick accent and claimed to be from some internet security outfit, questioning why my husband had supposedly reached out to them and how they might assist. He repeatedly mentioned my husband’s name, yet we let the answer machine keep recording. Eventually, they must've realised no one was biting and hung up. It's quite bizarre, this is the very first instance we've encountered where someone has tried to assert that we made the call!

Got a call saying my internet was about to be cut off, said it was from BT. Total scam though, best to just ignore it.

Funny thing is, they hacked my IP address as well! Now my internet's been shut down. They even told me to hit 1 if I wanted to discuss the issue, but then just dropped the call. What a waste!

They just gave me a ring too. Loads of folks are about to have their internet cut off soon! I reckon we’ll be hearing a lot more from #lico[###] about this mess.
