Some bloke claimed to be from BT, saying hackers were trying to mess with my internet. I mentioned I was wary of scams, all the while quickly googling his phone number. He started spouting some rubbish about why the number showed as dodgy. I ended the call, but then he phoned me again and began calling me awful names, so definitely not BT! No idea what his plans were, but it honestly felt sketchy and could’ve been risky if they’d got access to my system.

Someone rang my 89-year-old mum early morning, about 7:35am, claiming to be from BT regarding broadband - even though she’s never had it! It woke her up badly, especially as she was waiting for news about her brother who had passed away. She was really upset, to put it mildly. It’s crazy that being on the TPS doesn’t seem to block these calls at all. Honestly, these scammers should be stopped pronto. I’m so mad for what my mum had to go through!

Beware, this is a SCAM! If you want to help, search for ‘action fraud’ on Google and visit the official ‘police.uk’ website. Find the section for reporting phishing scams and take time to read all the info there. After that, submit the scam info straight to the police database, making sure to add any links or web addresses you have. This is really important because it lets the police track how widespread these fraud attempts are.
