8 yearsTelecom fraud alert! It appears there's a dodgy operator posing as an internet service provider. Best to stay vigilant and not fall for their tricks!8 yearsI got loads of calls today, seven different ones all from various numbers, saying they was from Talk Talk. Thing is, I don’t even use Talk Talk! Some of the calls were pre-recorded messages pretending to be from my internet company. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it.8 yearsI got a call from some bloke from India, loads of noise in the background, saying he was with BT and there was an issue with my internet. Problem is, I don’t even use BT. Then the line just cut off and I hung up straight away. Pretty sure it was a scam!BT8 yearsGot a call the other day from an man with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT Openreach, saying my internet was getting worse each day. Since BT isnt even our provider, I just ended the call straight away 'cause it seemed fishy. My other half mentioned we’ve had a couple more calls like this lately too.BT OpenreachBT8 yearsI got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who said he was with BT Openreach, telling me my computer had issues. I told him straight away it was a scam and that I wasn’t falling for it. After that, he just went quiet and then ended the call.BT Open Reach8 yearsGot a call today from some bloke claiming to be David from BT OpenReach - yeah right!

Total rubbish.BTDavidRakeshIndia8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Christopher Watson, but their English accent was super dodgy. Didn't buy it for a second and just ended the call.Christopher Watson8 yearsThey keep ringing so I just don’t pick up. One day I might get fed up and give them a piece of my mind though.8 yearsThe phone kept buzzing even after I said I couldn't hear a thing. I was pretty sure it was some kind of scam. My daughter finally picked up on the fourth ring and told the bloke off proper. I doubt we’ll be getting any more calls from him!8 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded like a scammer from Asia, and they hung up as soon as I asked for their bank details. Stay clear of these!Asia8 yearsSome bloke phoned me claiming to be from BT Open Reach, saying my internet was messed up and if I ignored it, I'd lose access on my phone, tablet, and laptop. I told him I doubted he was actually from BT, but he kept insisting he was. That’s when I just hung up.

Then he called me a liar, so I just ended the call.BT Openreach8 yearsThis bloke really seems to be up to no good. The endless calls are irritating enough, but throwing in swearing makes it totally out of order. I’m baffled as to why the cops in Manchester haven’t paid him a visit yet. He’s either trying to scam people or genuinely needs help. Either way, the police ought to be checking in on him pronto.Manchester8 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy who just hung up on me when I requested a refund, mentioned something about cutting off. Weird behaviour!8 yearsSomeone called saying they were from BT re broadband, but I knew it was dodgy so I just blocked the number straight away.BT8 yearsHad a call earlier from someone saying they were with BT, said they'd disconnect our internet for 25 or 30 days.

I told them I’m not even a BT customer, but they insisted all internet in the UK runs through BT. Total rubbish. After I gave them a piece of my mind, the call just suddenly dropped. Stay clear of these dodgy callers!BT OpenreachBTUK8 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was Henry Wilson from BT Openreach, claiming there was trouble with our internet. When I mentioned I doubted he was really Henry because of his accent, he ended up calling me a load of rude names and questioning if I even knew what I was on about. I probably shouldn’t have, but I threw a few of my own colourful words back at him in Urdu to shut him down - guess it was fitting since I’m Asian myself. Not my proudest moment, but couldn’t just let him get away with it.Henry WilsonBT Openreach8 yearsGot a missed call with no voicemail.

They asked me to switch on my computer, but I ended the call straight away.bUOpenreach8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from BT. This has happened twice already today.
