I'm receiving relentless calls despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service. It's quite infuriating!

I received a call claiming there was a technical issue that would result in my computer being disconnected. I flat-out told them I don't have any problems and that they were talking rubbish! I'm really getting tired of these fraudulent calls!

Received a call from someone with a strong Indian accent claiming to be part of the technical team, warning me that my internet service was about to be cut off. It was all rather irritating, so I decided to end the conversation abruptly!

I had a rather confusing encounter with an Indian woman on the phone, but there was so much noise in the background it was nearly impossible to catch what she was saying. She mentioned her name and claimed she was reaching out regarding my internet service, but honestly, I just ended the call. I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list as well, yet these sorts of scammers seem to bypass it without fail. Definitely going to block that number...

I was informed by BT that my internet would be cut off for a total of ten days. However, the call came from a UK number, yet the voice on the line had an Indian lilt. Clearly, it was just a scam. I'm absolutely fed up with being bombarded by fraudulent calls lately. I honestly thought a UK number meant it was legitimate.

Received a call today claiming my internet connection had been down for ten days. I told them to take a hike and hung up. Definitely dodgy characters!

It appears that being registered with the Telephone Preference Service is rather futile. When I picked up the call, there was utter silence on the line. I obtained the number from my caller ID.

Called but there was silence when I answered.

I've received calls from these scammers who have thick Indian accents and there's always an awkward delay on the line. They claim to be from BT and insist that my internet and computer are riddled with viruses. When I pointed out that it makes no sense to have viruses without an internet connection, she just kept spouting nonsense about my computer being infected. I couldn't help but laugh and mentioned that I don't even own a computer! At that point, she abruptly ended the call. Quite the performance, honestly!

Got yet another call from that number, whining about issues with my internet. I ended the call and promptly added them to my blocked contacts.

Who on earth are these individuals?! I've got a voicemail system in place, yet they never seem to bother leaving a message. There's no chance I'm ringing them back! I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list, yet these calls still manage to slip through the cracks - it's utterly infuriating, to say the least!

Received a call earlier today from someone claiming there was an issue with my computer's signal. I informed them that my computer wasn't even switched on, then promptly ended the conversation.
