I got a call from an Asian bloke claiming he was with the Telephone Preference Service. When I asked which number he was calling from, he said it was a London 0203 one. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he worked at BT, telling me my internet would be cut off for 25 days because illegal stuff was being sent, maybe from a virus or something. Told him I’m actually an IT consultant and saw straight through his scam. He just hung up after that.

Got a call from an Indian guy who said he was with Openreach about issues with my router. I told him I’ve already had quite a few calls like this one and I wasn’t interested. Then he just hung up on me.

This number keeps ringing my phone over and over again. Really annoying!

There was this awkward pause, and then it all ended with a simple farewell. What on earth was that about?

Got a cold call from the same number three times in one day, but each time I tried calling back, no one picked up.

For the past week, they've been ringing me daily, but whenever I pick up, there's just silence on the other end.

I picked up and there was loads of noise like a busy place in the background, then a guy with pidgin English claimed he was from BT. I played along till he told me to "Turn on your computer." When I said I didn’t have one, he just cut off the call straight away.

Someone rang claiming to be from BT Openreach and even mentioned an address for their London office as if that made it legit. Felt dodgy when he started asking me to log into my pc, definitely a scam.

Had a pretty similar experience with someone claiming to be Christopher John Willson - he was really keen to stress that there were two L's in his surname. He gave me a BT ID number and tried to convince me to open event viewer on my laptop. This number kept popping up as a missed call whenever I wasn’t home, but when I tried calling back it said the number wasn't recognised. Today, I decided to pick up. Once I told him no and said goodbye, he rang me back around five or six times! Eventually, I got quite stern and now he’s stopped bothering me.

I received one of those bothersome calls where there was just silence on the other end, followed by a quick 'Goodbye'. Quite irritating, to say the least!

Today I got a couple of calls from men claiming to be BT Open Reach engineers, saying there was a problem with our internet system. I ended the first call straight away, but on the second one I asked them to tell me who my internet provider was. After that, they just ended the call.

Just got a call from 01294584564 this morning with the same story, saying there was an issue and asking me to turn on my computer. I told them I wasn’t doing that, and then they threatened to cut my internet for 25 days. They claimed to be from BT, which was odd because I’m actually with Virgin. Definitely another scam trying to pull a fast one!

Got a call from this number earlier, but I left it unanswered. Fingers crossed it’s blocked now.

So this bloke called me, said he was from Openreach and that my internet router was having problems. I’d noticed it acting up and running slow recently, so even though I was a bit suspicious, it seemed believable. He asked me to go onto some site called W3 CSS validator viewer and check an email address there. Foolishly, I did it but didn’t download anything onto my laptop. Later, I looked up the number on this site and confronted him, saying I knew it was a scam. He quickly ended the call! Fingers crossed he didn’t get hold of any of my info.

I've been getting calls from this number, but whenever I answer, it's just dead air before they drop the call.

I've been getting calls from this number nonstop. They just stay quiet on the line for a bit before dropping the call. It's a bit annoying.

Feels a bit dodgy, might be a scam.

Just a heads up, someone called claiming to be David Wilson from BT OpenReach - it’s definitely a scam. They’ll ask you to download TeamViewer so they can take control of your PC. Honestly, best thing to do is just hang up straight away. They’ve also been ringing from 01959 534794, so watch out!

Got a call from this number today. Some bloke with an Asian accent was talking about issues with my router and asked me to log in somewhere. A couple of years back I was tricked by the same scam and they got into my PC. I contacted BT then and they told me they’d never call to warn about problems like that. Ended up wiping my whole computer and reinstalling everything.

Got a call from someone saying they were David Wilson from B.T, sounded like an Indian bloke. He was telling me they could sort out my computer 'cause it was running slow. Told him I could handle it on my own and then I just ended the call. Hopefully, I’ve stopped him from ringing me again by blocking the number.
