Got a call from someone claiming to be BT saying my internet would be disconnected in a day. I work at a hospice, so you can imagine the nurse got quite worried!

Got a robo call saying some government dept got hacked and if it wasn’t me I should call 01616968349. Obviously, I didn’t call back. I looked up the number online instead and came across these reviews. The call seemed to come from 02890603487.

I got a recorded message from someone called Kate saying my IP address was hacked by some government agency. She said I had to call 0161 696 8349 or my internet would be cut off in a day. Total nonsense if you ask me. I just hung up straight away. This is the third time they’ve called me in the last 24 hours. Planning to report it to Action Fraud today.

Got a voicemail from 'Kate' telling me to ring 0161 696 8349 because apparently someone hacked my PC and my internet would be cut off in a day if I didn’t get in touch. The call came from this number 01470803316. Really sounded dodgy to me.

Had a call warning me my internet and phone were going to be disconnected within 24 hours, but didn’t catch their name. The message was pretty much what you’d expect.

Got a few dodgy calls lately with the same nonsense on repeat. The recording claimed our internet and phone would be switched off the next day due to our IP being involved in some gov site hacking - yeah right, like that’s believable. They told me to ring an 0161 number, but honestly, I couldn’t be bothered to note down the full number. Claimed the line would be cut if I didn’t call, even though they messaged the exact same thing yesterday. Funny thing is, I’m still online and on the phone without any issues. Put their number on block so they can't bother me again.

I got a voicemail from someone named Kate, saying a coat and hat were bought using my IP address. If it wasn’t me, I’m told to contact 01616968349. Bit strange, not sure what’s going on.

Got a voicemail from someone named Kate saying my internet was hacked and to call 01616968349. Seemed a bit dodgy so I’m not bothering to ring them back.
