My grandad is 80 and used to have this landline number. But these scammers took it over, and after loads of angry calls from folks who got tricked by them, he ended up having to get a new phone number.

Got a call from someone saying they were with BT Openreach. We're actually an NHS site using Virgin, so yeah, definitely a dodgy call.

Those scam people just want your cash, don’t say a word to em. Reporting it to the police is useless, they don’t do anything. Sometimes feels like they might be working with the scammers.

got a call from a number in preston, some geezer pretending he was from bt openreach. obviously just another scammer. last i checked, openreach is a separate company now, not part of bt anymore. probably bt sold the number to them or something, total nonsense.

Got a call from an Asian woman talking about my internet speed being 1g or something. I told her everything's alright on my end and that I don't deal with scams, then just ended the call.

Had pretty much the same thing happen to me - just a bit of quiet on the line and then some faint, muffled “bye” before they hung up.

Got a couple of calls earlier from a man with an asian accent and a woman, both saying they were from BT. When i asked questions, they just ended the call. Definitely some kind of scam going on here.

I got a call from a number that looked like 01772 734140. The person didn’t say a word, just kept quiet on the line for a bit before dropping the call with a “bye” or something like that. Quite odd really.

Got a silent ring and then some clicking noises, sounded like it was coming from some foreign area, definitely not from Preston.

Picked up and there was just silence before they quickly ended the call.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Openreach, saying my broadband line was under attack from viruses. The number was international and the woman said her name was Rose. She didn’t use my name, just kept calling me “ma’am.” I had no idea who my internet supplier was, so I told her she was lying and ended the call.
