6 yearsGot a call from 01517399742 saying they were Virgin Media, but I’m not convinced!Virgin Media6 yearsGot a call with no one speaking on the other end, really odd and a bit creepy.6 yearsHonestly, one of the funniest things that’s happened to me today! Some daft bloke pretending to be from BT called up, trying to convince me that my computer was gonna get hit by some "Trojan donkey" virus this December. Then he went on to say there’s also a Trojan Horse coming at my PC next May. Said I needed to sort it out now to be safe. I told him I work in cyber security and he seemed completely clueless. Then I mentioned I use Noah’s Ark PC protection, so no critters are gonna trouble me, and he just went "oh" and swiftly hung up. Made my day!BTNoah6 yearsI put TAM on, and as soon as I did, the caller just hung up.TAM6 yearsGot a call supposed to be from BT Openreach about testing my internet speed, but they just hung up on me straight away!BT6 yearsDespite being on the TPS list, the call had a long pause followed by silence.Telephone Preference Service6 yearsReceived a call today, and the chap on the line said he was representing BT Openreach. When I requested some form of verification, he abruptly cut the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!BT Openreach6 yearsI picked up the call from 01517399742, only to be met with utter silence for about ten seconds before the line went dead with a quick "goodbye." Quite bizarre!6 yearsReceived a call earlier today. They didn’t utter a word when I picked up.6 yearsHad a couple of calls from these numbers too: (01503) 810191 and (01287) 205682. Both claimed to be Virgin Media and said my internet was slow, offering to help fix it. They wanted to know how many devices were connected and the colour light on my router. When I asked if I'd get a discount because of poor service, the line went dead. The second caller got upset when I said they sounded like they were reading from a script and ended the call as well! Neither of them spoke clear English and there was weird background noise that kept repeating.Virgin Media6 yearsThere’s often that awkward pause before they start talking, which usually means scam incoming. This bloke sounded Indian and said he was from BT - clearly not true. I told him exactly what I thought he was up to, he argued a bit, then went on to insult me. I wasn’t having any of it and fired back with some rude comments about his mum. He got quite irate and just ended the call.BT6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Virgin Media, but they couldn’t give me any details about my account. Bit sketchy if you ask me.Virgin Media6 yearsI had someone claiming to be from Virgin Media ring me twice today, each time from a different number. Seemed dodgy so I just told them to buzz off! Definitely not trusting those calls.Virgin Media6 yearsI picked up but no one said anything, then the call just dropped.6 yearsTotally sketchy, I just ended the call right away.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT. Told them I’m not a BT customer and then just ended the call and blocked the number.BT6 yearsGot a call from a man with an Asian accent, his English wasn't great. He claimed Openreach had detected a security breach in my internet. Definitely seemed like a scam.Openreach6 yearsI got calls a couple of times recently from someone claiming to be with BT, saying my internet was running slow. I told them I wasn’t with BT and that my internet was fine, but they kept pushing. When I asked for their phone number, they refused to share it. After I hung up, I used 1471 and managed to get the number they called from.BT6 yearsClaims to be representing Sky and requests remote access to your computer.Sky6 yearsReceived a call today (5th October) around half past eleven... there was no message left and it was completely quiet on the line when I picked up. Feeling rather suspicious about it, as I wasn't anticipating a call from an 0151 number, it gives off a bit of a dodgy vibe.Submit Your Own Report (0151 739 9742)
