10 yearsGot a phone call this morning around 8:55 from a bloke with an Asian accent, said his name was ‘Robert’. He was talking about something to do with my computer, but his voice was a bit unclear. When I asked him to go over it again, he just ended the call. Quite odd!Robert10 yearsGot a really annoying call about my computer out of the blue. Total hassle!10 yearsGot a call from this number twice in three days now. The bloke on the phone spoke with an African accent and claimed there was an issue with my BT internet, which is odd because I don't even use BT for my internet. Bit fishy if you ask me!BT10 yearsComplete con! They said they were from Microsoft about a computer problem. Microsoft never calls you outta the blue like that. Totally fake.Microsoft10 yearsSo, I got a call this morning at 7.30 am on 24/11/16 from some bloke called James claiming to be from a ‘security department’ or something. Honestly, I have no clue where he said he was from 'cos I just hung up. Honestly, these scammers or whatever they are just get right on my nerves!James10 yearsI honestly can’t fathom how “Richard” expects anyone to take his silly little games seriously. It’s laughable, really. If you do want to play along, just mess with him a bit, and then drop the bomb that you’re an IT technician and that the entire convo has been recorded. Bet he’d lose it!Richard10 yearsThis number has been ringing me up pretty much every morning at about 9:30, a few times a week. Whenever I answer, there's nothing on the other end, but before, I've had calls claiming to be from BT about my computer. I’m healthy and can handle it, but it really annoys me to think about how older or unwell folks must deal with this sort of pestering.BT10 yearsThis bloke calling himself "Richard" is a complete muppet. I can't imagine how they reckon anyone would actually buy into their daft little tricks. Just play along for a bit, mess with them a bit, then hit them with the fact that they're chatting to a tech expert and all their nonsense has been logged.Richard10 yearsHonestly, I’ve never met such lowlife folks before.10 yearsThe issue is, you get so many calls like this it’s impossible to keep track of which numbers to block or just ignore. You’d think nowadays companies like BT or Virgin could easily block these numbers when customers request it. But then again, that’d probably cost them cash… so maybe they’re actually making money from these scams carrying on. So yeah, those annoying calls aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s like, why would they want to stop something that lines their pockets? Like if everyone was perfectly healthy, chemists and doctors would be out of a job, right?BTVirgin10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me, but I just hang up straight away as soon as they pick up. Tried to block it, but my phone’s block list is full already! It’s really frustrating. I’m neither elderly nor vulnerable either.10 yearsGot a phone call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT, talking about my internet and some viruses. When I asked who she really was, she actually told me my own address, which freaked me out a bit. She just kept reading off her script and wouldn’t reply properly when I asked anything else. I ended the call around 10.15pm on 17/11/16.BT10 yearsGot a call from this number at 8:15 in the morning but didn’t pick up. I usually only take calls if I know who’s ringing. This isn’t the first time this number’s shown up. Really wish there was a way to sort these kinds of calls out.10 yearsI tried ringing this number back, but with my number blocked, only to get a message from BT saying the number wasn’t recognised. Seems dodgy to me, best avoid it if you don’t want to get stung.BT10 yearsEvery morning before 8am, I keep getting calls where no one talks, just a weird recorded voice saying ‘goodbye’. It’s really annoying. Nobody’s ever actually spoken to me, but if they ever do, I just blast the radio loudly and put the phone next to it. They usually hang up pretty quickly after that!10 yearsGot a ring from someone with an odd accent pretending to be BT, telling me my internet was at risk. Just as she was about to go on, the line suddenly dropped.BT10 yearsThey kept ringing but when I picked up no one was there, and I didn’t get any voicemail either.10 yearsI got a ring from this number claiming to be from BT about my computer. I was sure it was some kind of scam, but I pretended I didn’t get what he wanted me to do. He kept going on trying to explain but when I said I didn't understand again, he just told me I was a MORON and slammed the phone down. I'm feeling awful right now and definitely didn’t need the hassle. It’s so frustrating. How are they able to harass people like this and talk to them like rubbish? I’m fed up with it all...BT10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT and that all my computers were at risk. Definitely a scam, so I just hung up and blocked the number.BT10 yearsGot a call from BT about some issues they claimed to have found on my computer. Definitely a scam! Same old trick.BT10 yearsI got a ring from 01587545540, some bloke claiming to be with BT about my computer. I could tell it was a scam straight away, but I just told him I didn’t get what he wanted me to do. He kept banging on, trying to make me understand, and when I said again I didn’t follow, he called me an idiot and then hung up. Honestly, I’m feeling rubbish at the moment and the last thing I need is this hassle. It’s so frustrating. How are they allowed to just phone people and be so rude? I’m beyond fed up with it all.BT10 yearsGot a ring from some bloke called Richard saying he was from BT. He claimed my computer was getting hacked and offered to sort it out. Then he asked if I was at my computer right then. It was 8:20 on a Saturday morning - pretty unlikely, right? So I just said no and ended the call.RichardBT10 yearsGot a call from someone called Richard, claimed to be from BT's tech team, saying my computer was being hacked. Sounded a bit off to me.RichardBTTechnical Department10 yearsGot a call early on a Saturday from someone called Richard who said he worked for BT. He started going on about hackers attacking my computer and offered to sort it out for me. He asked if I was at my computer right then. Seriously, 8:20 in the morning on a weekend? No way.
