I picked up and they claimed to be calling from BT about someone trying to hack into my laptop, saying they could help sort it out. As soon as I told them I wasn’t with BT and guessed it was a scam, they got really aggressive. The guy said some name I couldn’t understand, mentioned he was from Afghanistan, and started swearing at me, saying he was going to mess me up. Then he just ended the call.

Absolutely frustrating! Got a call from one of those scam people saying to press 1 or they’ll shut off my internet. Honestly, the only thing that deserves cutting off are those vile little scammer fingers!

Don’t pick up if you get a call saying your internet with BT is about to be disconnected. It’s not really BT, but they do ring a few times throughout the day. I’ve noticed them ringing repeatedly, so just be careful!

Oh yeah, I just got a ring from 0168 597 3420 as well! Even though I'm on the TPS list, these fraudsters still find a way around it. It was some automated voice message, so no point in answering. Best thing is to just hang up and not bother with it. The only use is reporting it on sites like this to warn others.

They ring me up around 1 in the afternoon saying they’re from BT and that my internet’s about to get disconnected. I just let the call drop, but annoyingly they phone me like three times daily from various numbers. It’d be great if there was a way to put a proper stop to these unsolicited calls.

Got a call from someone saying they were with BT, telling me my internet would be cut off if I didn't hit 1 to sort it out. Of course, the only button I used was to hang up straight away. I've blocked the number but they’ll just ring back using another one I'm sure.

01685 973420 is a landline from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Had about 26 searches on it. Some muppets called saying they’re from BT, telling me there’s an issue with my internet. Thing is, I’ve never even had BT, no internet with them either. I’m pretty sure they were trying to hack into my computer or something. Told them to jog on and definitely didn’t press any buttons. Absolute wankers!
