Got 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!

Got 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!

Complete con! They said they were from Microsoft about a computer problem. Microsoft never calls you outta the blue like that. Totally fake.

This morning, just as the clock struck 7:30 on the 24th of November, 2016, I received a call from a chap named James, who claimed to be with some sort of 'security department.' I couldn't tell you where he was calling from, as I promptly hung up. Honestly, I’m utterly fed up with these lowlifes. Could it be a scam? It certainly feels like one!

This chap "Richard" is an utter numpty. Honestly, how they presume that anyone would be taken in by their juvenile antics is truly beyond me. I reckon it’s best to play along for a bit, rile them up just slightly, and then drop the bomb that they’re actually conversing with an IT specialist, and all of their nonsense has been noted down.

This 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.

This 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.

The 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?

This number won’t stop ringing my phone, yet I hang up as soon as I pick up. I've got a blocking feature on my device, but I've reached the limit! It's incredibly frustrating, and I’m certainly not some elderly person.

Received a rather unsettling phone call from a woman with an Asian accent, claiming she was representing BT. She rambled on concerning my internet connection and mentioned something about viruses. When I attempted to glean more information, she shockingly stated my home address. It was quite alarming, to say the least! However, she seemed glued to her script, refusing to deviate from it, even when I posed further queries. I ended up cutting the call short around 10:15 on the 17th of November, 2016.

Got 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.

I 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.

Every 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!

Got 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.

I've just received a rather dubious call from this number, with someone claiming to represent BT about an issue with my computer. I realised straight away it was a scam, so I feigned ignorance to stall him. He went on trying to explain his agenda, and when I asked for clarification yet again, he had the audacity to call me an IDIOT before abruptly ending the call. Considering I'm feeling quite unwell at the moment, this really isn't what I need. I'm fuming! How can these people get away with rude behaviour during an unsolicited call? I'm absolutely fed up!

I 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.

Got 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.

I recently received a rather unsettling call from a chap named Richard, who insisted he was representing BT. He warned me that my computer was being hacked and offered to assist in rectifying the situation. He inquired whether I was currently at my computer. Well, it was 8:20 on a Saturday morning-absolutely not! I promptly informed him I wasn’t and ended the conversation. Quite the early morning surprise, I must say!

I had a chap named Richard ring me, claiming he was from BT and had something to do with my computer. I quickly told him to cut the nonsense, and he promptly ended the call. I wouldn’t be surprised if he or someone else gives me a bell again soon - it’s typical for these kinds of calls to come from withheld numbers!
