Got a call supposedly from Sky, but it was some bloke with an Asian accent who started saying really rude stuff. Told him to bugger off straight away. Proper harassment. Watch out, folks!

I just got a call from this bloke who sounded Indian, going on about my broadband or whatever. I quickly told him he was a scammer and to never ring me up again. Honestly, I can’t stand those people who keep hassling me about my internet service.

Got a call from a woman who sounded like she was from some call centre overseas, said she was ringing on behalf of BT. I could hear some blokes chatting quietly behind her, she asked if I could hear her alright and said they’d launched a new internet service recently. Didn’t hang about, shut her down straight away and blocked the number. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.

Got another call today from a man claiming to be with Virgin Media tech support, said there was something wrong with my router. He kept pushing despite me kindly telling him everything was fine. I just let him keep talking until he gave up and hung up when I went quiet. Feels like just another scam. Does anyone else notice these calls mostly coming from parts of Scotland lately?

I got a call from a lady with an Indian accent claiming she was from SKY’s Tech Support. When I called her out on it, especially since I’d just had another call from someone else pretending to be the same lot, she got really rude. I didn’t hold back and told her to get lost in pretty clear language. She said her name was something like Shaney Williams. Total scam.

Received a dubious phone call from someone claiming to be from a "technical support department". I wasn't at all intimidated when I mentioned I would be reporting their number to the ombudsman and that we are registered with the Telephone Preference Service. They seemed unfazed!

Got a call from Virgin Media claiming there was an issue, but it felt like a scam. Happened in Motherwell, Scotland. I just blocked the number straight away.

Got a call on my landline from a bloke with an Indian accent saying it was about BT. I told him he wasn’t BT and to stop ringing me or I’d report him. Don’t want those calls again!

This morning I got a call from some bloke who just said hello and then immediately ended the call. Really weird behaviour!

Sounds like a scam to me. Some bloke with an Indian accent rang up claiming my BT connection was hacked. Without even checking if I was the account holder, he was already quizzing me about sharing my password with family. When I asked if he knew my name, he just replied, "Yes Ma'am, and you’ll get an email soon with everything." Seemed really dodgy.

Got a call from a woman who sounded like she had an Indian accent, saying there was a problem with my computer. I told her straight away she's trying to scam me since I don't even own a computer, and I ended the call.

Some random people were using my wifi without permission. They didn't even seem to get my English properly. Totally feels like an online scam to me.

Got a call from a guy who said he was with Microsoft, said my PC was hacked or something - total scam! Don’t waste your time, just hang up straight away!

Not sure who called, just ignored it and let it ring out. They didn’t leave any voicemail or anything.

I've got no clue who that is or why they're ringing. My landline hardly gets any use these days, apart from the odd scammer trying their luck. They phoned me, didn't speak a word, and didn’t bother leaving a message either. Quite mysterious if you ask me!

Got a call claiming to be from Sky broadband, but the person on the other end was really rude. Definitely not a friendly chat.

I got a call from someone claiming there was a problem with Microsoft on my PC. Don’t fall for it, it's a total scam - just ignore and hang up.

My phone went off three times, but when I picked up, there was nobody on the other end. I don’t recognise anyone from Motherwell, so this seems like a dodgy call to me.
