I received a call from someone claiming to be Michael from BT Openreach. When I accused him of being a scammer, he got quite irate and even threatened to cut off our internet!

I was hoping to verify an address when I was informed that we’d been charged an extra £149. Naturally, the next thing they did was ask for my bank details. I quickly activated my phone tracker and decided to block the number entirely.

Received calls from this number both yesterday and today. They claimed I was owed a refund of £159 for some supposed excess payment on kitchen gadgets. Strangely, they couldn't specify which appliances they were referring to. It's clearly a scam, as the moment I hinted at my suspicions, they cut the line abruptly. I've since blocked the number without a second thought!

They masqueraded as representatives from Virgin Media. It wasn’t merely a case of deceit; their level of cluelessness made the ruse painfully obvious.

So, it seems this person claims to be from BT. Initially, they contacted me using another number. After a short chat—where I bluntly called them out as a scammer—I hung up. Almost immediately, the same individual rang me again on this new number. It's unsettling how much they appear to know about me!

Someone contacted me saying I had been billed too much for a kitchen gadget and that I should receive £140 back. Naturally, I inquired about which appliance they meant. They replied, mentioning a washing machine. When I asked if they intended to send me a cheque for that amount, suddenly the call just cut off. What a peculiar situation!

A call came through purporting to be from Virgin Media's tech support team. They siphoned off £400 from my wife's account using a dodgy app on her phone. The chap identified himself as Alex Williams, claiming to be a manager, though his accent was distinctly Indian. My wife, whose grasp of English isn't the best, couldn’t pick up on it, but the moment I got home from work and overheard her conversation, I sensed something was off. As soon as I engaged with him, it was crystal clear this was a scam. We need to track this bloke down, strip him of what he's stolen, and see him behind bars where he belongs.

I received a call from an individual who had an accent typical of the Indian subcontinent and their grasp of English was rather shaky. They claimed to represent Virgin Media and wanted to chat about my broadband connection. As soon as I expressed difficulty in understanding them, they abruptly ended the call.

I received a call from a chap named "Zac," claiming to be from the refund department of some appliance company, insisting I was entitled to a refund due to an overpayment. He had a thick accent that made it quite tricky to follow what he was saying. I didn’t keep him on the line for long!

I received a call from someone claiming to be part of the BT Technical Team, asserting they’d spotted suspicious activity on my broadband, alleging it was being misused for illicit reasons. Their explanation felt fishy, and when I pushed back, they became quite combative. The moment I mentioned my background in IT and Telecoms, they just cut the line! Quite the shifty encounter, if you ask me!

Received a call at around 3pm today, the 5th of October. They mentioned my name correctly and claimed to be from the "Refund Department for your Kitchen Appliances". I wasn’t interested, so I politely declined and ended the call. It’s worth noting that I’ve just made an online purchase for a kitchen gadget.

I just received a rather dubious call claiming that I have an issue with my Openreach broadband line. They're suggesting that they can sort it out with just a little tinkering on one of my gadgets, but it’s going to set me back £2 if they discover a fault. Then they casually ask for my banking details to proceed. Absolutely not, I’m not falling for that! Clearly a scam – be cautious!
