4 yearsBelow you’ll find info on how to use the police’s system for reporting any scam texts, phone calls, emails, or fraud attempts. I only found out about it after raising the issue of constant scam calls with my MP. It’s clear the scammers prefer we stay in the dark about this. If more people don’t step up and report these dodgy attempts, nothing’s gonna change, sadly.4 yearsThey called claiming to be from Virgin Media, saying there was an issue with my internet. Tried to get me to let them access my computer remotely, but it sounded fishy. Definitely a scammer pretending to be Virgin Media.Virgin Media8 yearsI just got a call from them.

These calls all seem to come from BT Directory Listing, so I’ve decided to request they stop contacting me.BT8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was ringing from BT, but it was pretty clear it was a scam trying to fish for info.8 yearsI was typing the number down as it was ringing, so I just let it ring without picking up.8 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT saying my internet was at risk.

I just replied, ‘you first’.8 yearsThis morning I got a call from a guy who sounded like he was from the Indian sub-continent. He said he was calling from BT's technical team.
