Got a ring from 01856 259856, some guy with an asian accent saying he was peter roger from bt. He told me my internet was being hacked and offered to fix it by logging into my computer remotely. I just hung up straight away. Totally a scam!

Whenever I try to get through to the call guardian number, they just disconnect on me every time.

I got a call from 01856 259856 claiming to be from BT about some router and internet IP stuff. They said it was a survey to check what equipment I’ve got and hinted they’d fix hacking issues by switching me over. It wasn’t the first time I’d heard this script, so I stayed on the line to see what their real game was. Still no clue, just felt like a scare tactic. I’ve blocked these numbers before and hung up, but they keep popping up with new ones. BT seriously need to do something about this. When I asked the caller to stop ringing me, they turned quite rude.

Got a call from 01856259856, a woman came on saying there’s a problem with my internet. When I asked which company she was from, she mumbled something and then hung up. I don’t get why I’m paying to stop these annoying calls if they just keep coming!

I got a call from this number saying they were from BT, warning me that my internet was compromised and involved in some criminal stuff. I could hear a busy call centre noise in the back and the woman on the line had an Asian accent and kept calling me “ma’am” which really annoys me! Seriously, do you think BT would have a call centre in Orkney staffed with Asian workers? I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

I got a call from a con bloke with a thick Indian accent. How come they’re still going after all this time? You’d think someone would’ve stopped them by now.

I recently encountered a rather dubious situation involving a woman from India who appeared to be trying to pull off a computer virus con. It was rather unsettling, to say the least!

Didn’t pick up the phone, like why would I? I barely know anyone in Orkney, so who'd be calling me from there anyway?

Someone just phoned me saying there was an issue with my BT internet, but the accent definitely sounded Indian. I'm pretty sure this number’s been hacked or something.

Someone rang saying they were from BT, saying our internet was at risk because the IP address was compromised and that we needed to change the connection. They asked for a phone number to call back and gave me what looked like a proper BT contact number. But when I checked with BT, they said nothing was wrong with our broadband or IP at all.

Got a call from someone saying they were from BT about my broadband. When I told them I already had BT and asked a few questions, they just cut the call straight away. Definitely not BT. I looked up the number online and loads of people said it was a scam. Plus, they got abusive when you question them - so dodgy for sure.
