3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Michael with BT Openreach. When I called him out as a scammer, he got pretty angry and started talking about cutting off our internet.MichaelBT Openreach3 yearsAllegedly from a call centre in India, this one tried to pass itself off as BY Internet! Quite dubious, if you ask me!India3 yearsThey rang to check our address and claimed we'd been charged too much - £149 apparently. Naturally, they then asked for my bank info. I ran a phone search on my side and decided to block the number straight away.3 yearsThis number has been ringing me yesterday and today. Someone said I was owed £159 because I’d supposedly paid too much on kitchen stuff. They couldn’t say exactly what appliances it was about. I said it sounded dodgy and the call ended abruptly. I’ve since blocked the number to be safe.3 yearsThey said they were from Virgin Media but it was total rubbish and really badly done. Honestly, one of the most obvious fakes I've come across.Virgin Media3 yearsI picked up and they just hung up straight away.3 yearsI picked up, but they just stayed quiet for a bit and then suddenly ended the call.3 yearsClaimed he was ringing from Virgin regarding my broadband speed.Virgin3 yearsThe initial call was purportedly from a kitchen appliance rebate service. I promptly declined their offer, and they promptly ended the call. When they tried to reach me again, I let it ring out without picking up.3 yearsReceived a call where the person enquired if I was ‘xyz’, which I indeed am, but they abruptly hung up right after. The voice had an Asian tone, prompting me to quickly assume it was a scam. Guess my instincts were spot on.3 yearsGot a call about a refund for a washing machine that I've never owned, proper confusing! Not sure why they thought I bought one. Seemed like a total mix-up from their side.3 yearsJust ended the call right away.3 yearsSeems like a scam to me. Someone called claiming they were from Openreach about my internet, but I don't even have BT internet. Definitely fishy!3 yearsSo, I got a call supposedly from BT but on a number I don’t usually answer. After a quick chat where I told the bloke I thought he was trying to scam me, I hung up. No sooner had I done that, the same number called me back on my other phone. It's creepy how much info they seem to have on you!BT3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with the Visa debit card team - total scam, don’t trust it.3 yearsGot a call saying I’d been charged too much for a kitchen gadget and they owed me £140. I asked which gadget it was, and they said a washing machine. When I asked if they’d send me a cheque, the call just cut off.3 yearsA 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.Virgin MediaAlex Williams3 yearsI just let it ring, didn’t pick up.3 yearsGot told to bugger off, like twice! Proper rude, honestly.3 yearsReceived a call claiming to be from Virgin Media, stating there were issues with my internet connection. They requested that I grab my phone and head towards the router. At that point, I knew it was best to end the conversation.Virgin Media3 yearsI answered the call, only for them to repeatedly say 'hello' before abruptly ending the conversation.3 yearsThis number rang me twice before I finally got around to blocking it. No one said a word on either occasion, just an awkward cough, then they hung up. Such a nuisance!3 yearsI got a call from someone who sounded like they were from India or nearby, speaking really broken English, saying they were from Virgin Media about my internet. As soon as I told them I couldn’t understand what they were saying, they just hung up on me.Virgin Media3 yearsThat call definitely felt like some kind of serious scam, really dodgy stuff!3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, saying my internet wasn’t working properly and that I was due a refund. They told me to contact my bank because they’d supposedly sent me £404 and some change. When I rang my bank, they said nothing had been deposited and ended up blocking my card and online access. Later, the same people rang back saying they’d connect me with the person I’d spoken to earlier, but when they asked if I used online banking and I said no, they just hung up on me. I’m now unsure if this is something I should report to the police or not.Virgin Media3 yearsGot a phone call on Friday, 6th October 2023, at 10:04 in the morning from someone claiming to be from Microsoft? Quite suspicious, isn't it?Microsoft3 yearsFor the past two weeks, they've been ringing me nearly every day claiming to be from BT Openreach, saying there's an issue with my internet that needs fixing. The people on the line always have foreign accents and don’t take kindly to being told to get lost. One of them even dared to call back just to moan at me for ending the call. Properly persistent bunch.BT Openreach3 yearsI got a call from someone called “Zac” claiming to be from the refund team of a certain appliances company, saying I had overpaid and was owed some money. His accent was Asian and it was quite hard to follow what he was saying. Didn’t keep him on the line for long!Zac3 yearsIf you wanna report a scam number, just text "Call" followed by the number to 7726. This helps collect info on scam calls and shares it with others. Pretty handy way to keep everyone safe.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT wanting to discuss my internet. Since my internet provider isn't BT, I quickly realised it was a scam straight away.BT3 yearsGot a call from someone with a really English name but speaking with a strong Asian accent, saying something about "my computer." I tried to find out who exactly he was after, suspecting it was probably a scam. After a bit of silence, he just ended the call.3 yearsI got a call from a lady with an Asian accent saying I'd been paid too much. She already knew my full name, address, and postcode. When I asked if the address she had was right, I said it wasn’t. She then asked for my new address, but I refused to give it, and she just hung up.3 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT, saying my internet was hacked. This is the third time this week, always the same voice but different phone numbers each time. I told her I wasn’t falling for it and she started getting rude, so I just hung up and blocked the number. These scams are happening way too often lately. It’s creepy how they know both my first and last name when we’re supposed to be unlisted - someone must be leaking my info. Proper worrying, honestly.BT3 yearsThey said they were from Microsoft, but it was definitely a scam.Microsoft3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, and it was about my PC. Bit suspicious if you ask me!Microsoft3 yearsI 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!BT Technical Team3 yearsJust got a call from some scammer with an Asian accent, this time from a different fake number, chatting rubbish about my computer again - total waste of time!3 yearsBeware, these are total scams!3 yearsReceived 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.Refund Department for your Kitchen Appliances3 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying they would sort out my PC issues. Blocked them straight away.Microsoft3 yearsTried ringing the number, but it just kept ringing out - sounded like it was engaged, really.3 yearsI got a call from this number, and they had the audacity to know my name! They claimed to be from Microsoft, insisting that my computer had been compromised. I told them I wasn’t interested in their nonsense and promptly ended the call.Microsoft3 yearsMy number is only known by my service provider since I hardly ever use it. Today, this same number rang me, but I didn’t pick up.3 yearsBeing unsure about who’s ringing me up can be quite worrying, especially since I’m in my late seventies and often feel a bit exposed.3 yearsWhen I answered the phone, there was just silence on the other end, but you could hear loads of background noise. It definitely felt like one of those scam calls to me.3 yearsI received a rather dubious call from this number around half eight this morning, with someone claiming to be from Microsoft. Naturally, I decided to end the conversation abruptly. Greetings from the Isle of Wight!MicrosoftIsle of Wight3 yearsThe person on the line purported to be from the 'BT Technical Department', saying they could assist in pinpointing any unauthorized users linked to your wifi. Oh, come off it! The real culprits are clearly the chaps in that overseas call centre who made the call!BT Technical Department3 yearsGot a call saying I’ve got some kind of public broadband line from Openreach on my phone. They said it can be sorted by opening one of my gadgets and it’ll cost £2.00. Then they asked for bank details if there’s a problem. Nah, no way! Seems like a total scam, watch out!3 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft about my PC, I just hung up straight away.Microsoft3 yearsSomebody called me, said their name was Lily and they said they were from Virgin Media. I just ended the call straight away.LilyVirgin Media3 yearsI found the calls really scary. There were two separate voices and both were quite aggressive.3 yearsWe got a call on our main number from someone who wouldn’t tell us her name. She said she was calling from Microsoft’s Reading office but wouldn’t share any personal email address when we asked. Felt a bit suspicious to me.MicrosoftReading3 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft, saying my PC was full of viruses! Total scam, don’t fall for it. They tried to scare me into giving remote access. Stay safe everyone!Microsoft3 yearsSomeone said they were from Microsoft but hung up as soon as I questioned them.Microsoft3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, had me worried at first. Turned out just a scam, so watch out!Microsoft3 yearsThis number called me again, and the voice just said bye before hanging up. I’m pretty sure it's the same dodgy scammer from Microsoft trying to trick people. Definitely stay clear!Microsoft3 yearsI kept getting calls from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. She was quite pushy and even threatened to involve the police if I didn’t hand over the details they wanted.Microsoft3 yearsI told them to stop calling me but they kept on ringing and got really abusive after I asked nicely to be left alone. They had a thick foreign accent too. Quite unpleasant experience.3 yearsWhat a horrible individual, threatening to disconnect my computer right after another call from a spoofed number (01623 634638 - already reported) - they must be connected somehow. Honestly, these kind of people deserve a proper place down below. I told the bloke I was looking up their number while we talked and mentioned it had links to scams, but he didn’t even care. They really come across as pretty desperate.3 yearsI received a call from this number earlier today. An Asian lady on the line claimed she was from Microsoft and inquired after Mr Watson. I regretfully informed her that he wasn’t available, having been cremated just over a year back. I can't help but think he would have found that quite amusing!MicrosoftWatson3 yearsReceived a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft. I went along with it for a while, but when they asked me to type 'event' in the Windows search, I knew something was up. Definitely a scam, and they got quite annoyed when I confronted them.Microsoft3 yearsSome bloke rang me, saying he was from BT OpenReach and there was an issue with my internet security. I told him I switched providers about a year ago, so I wasn’t with BT anymore. He just kept going on about it being my internet problem, then suddenly hung up. Funny thing, I saw someone else mention the caller started singing to them. I reckon it’s the same lad because when I told him he’d be lucky to get a job cleaning toilets at BT during a previous call, he rang me back the next day and started crooning at me! Proper strange behaviour.BT OpenReachBT3 yearsI received a rather dubious call from someone purporting to represent my appliance insurance provider, insisting that I had inadvertently overpaid a sum of £250. They were all too eager to arrange a refund. Upon further reflection, it became clear that this was nothing more than a cunning scam aimed at pilfering my banking information!3 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent saying they were from BT Openreach, talking about my internet. I just told them my connection was working perfectly and ended the call. Pretty obvious it was a scam.BT Openreach3 yearsThose scammers keep pestering me, honestly just avoid them altogether.3 yearsA bloke rang saying he was from Virgin Media, moaning about my internet speed not matching what I’m supposed to get. He asked what colour the light on my box was, but I told him I wasn’t at home so didn’t know. Then he asked when I’d be back. I said 8pm, thinking if it was legit they’d call anyway. He then said that was too late to help or something. Looks like a total scam to me.Virgin Media3 yearsA person rang me claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer would be shut down because of some security problems. They were really pushy and quite intimidating.Microsoft3 yearsThey claimed to be calling on behalf of Microsoft.Microsoft3 yearsGot a call from 01625617742 around 12:56pm today. No one spoke when I answered, just total silence. Feels like it might be one of those dodgy Microsoft scams. Be careful!Microsoft3 yearsI've been getting several calls from this number, but there's never anyone on the other end when I pick up. Quite peculiar, really!3 yearsThey were claiming to be from Microsoft, which is a classic scam you hear about all the time. Luckily, the call got disconnected before I could mess with them and kill some time.Microsoft3 yearsI'm glad I found this site because when I missed a call from that number, I had some clue about who it might be. I'll let you all know if they ring me again.3 yearsGot a silent ring initially, then as soon as I picked up the multi dialler beeped and instantly cut the call. Happened on my BT phone in Macclesfield - number was 01625 617742. I reported it to BT.com/scams on the 3rd of October, lucky I didn’t engage.MacclesfieldBT3 yearsI got a call supposedly from Microsoft about some problems with my PC that they said we talked about yesterday - the number was 0114 239 3220. I told them if this wasn’t a dodgy call, they should send me all the details in writing! When I asked where they were calling from, they claimed Reading, but the prefix 01625 isn’t from there at all. The way they was speaking to me was really rude, and I clocked it was a scam straight away. Ended the call and blocked the number. Then, they rang back on 0141 882 5833 trying to keep it going! That one got blocked too!MicrosoftReading3 yearsHad no clue who was calling from that 01625617742 number, so I just let it ring out. I always try to find out who’s ringing before picking up. If they buzz again, I’ll just give it a miss.3 yearsGot a call while I was busy today. Tried calling back but it just went to voicemail. Usually I get loads of spam from those broadband or Microsoft scammers who use English names but have a heavy Indian accent. Haven’t had one of those calls in about a month, so looks like they’re giving it another go. Seems like they’ve faked a genuine number again and are pestering me once more. Not falling for it this time though.Microsoft3 yearstotal rip off, dont trust em at all!3 yearsSomebody pretending to be from Microsoft called me up, trying to get me to alter stuff on my PC. We ended up chatting for ages, then out of nowhere she said, "you're a stupid cow," which is wrong in like two ways at least!Microsoft3 yearsThis was probably a scam. I didn’t know the number and they never bothered to leave a voicemail.3 yearsI got a phone call from 01625617742, some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be David Miller from “BT internet,” telling me hackers were on my PC. I played along for a while, then he suddenly started showing off his singing skills. I just let him carry on with his cheerful singing until he eventually hung up. Felt like I’d just had a quick trip to Bollywood or something!David MillerBT3 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from Microsoft.

They didn’t leave a message either.3 yearsI received a call that seemed to be from Microsoft, but they hung up right away. Oddly enough, they addressed me by name.Microsoft3 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from Microsoft, and they were quite forceful, insisting that my computer would be shut down because of some alleged security problems. What really unnerved me was that they had my home address as well. The whole interaction felt rather intimidating, to say the least.Microsoft3 yearsClaimed to be from Virgin, but I just told them to bugger off; I’ve had my fill of those calls!Virgin3 yearsI received a rather dodgy call from someone with an unmistakable Asian accent, claiming they were with 'Windows' and needed to discuss a supposed security problem with my computer.

Definitely sounded like a scam.MicrosoftUK3 yearsGot a call with no one saying a word before they just cut off. When I manage to catch them on the line, I reckon I’ll pull a bit of an old bloke move. Probably ask if they've noticed my missing cat, you know, to sound all worried. Then I'll probably pretend I need the loo, maybe even take the cordless with me so they get the full effect of the bathroom theme tune.3 yearsPicked up the phone, but ended the call straight away.
