7 yearsGot a call early this morning around 7:02 am, but as soon as I picked up, the ringing just stopped and it was from 01863268696. Then later on at about 10:30 am they called again, chatting rubbish about broadband and Ofcom like I've heard from others here. I wasn't very polite and ended the call pretty sharpish.7 yearsGot another call claiming I HAD to upgrade my broadband, said it was from Ofcom. When I told them I work in Ofcom’s fraud team, they suddenly went quiet. True story!Ofcom7 yearsToday on 08/2/19 I got a call from 1327 but Call Guardian picked it up and there was no voicemail.

The call kicked off with a prerecorded message featuring a british bloke sounding quite official saying he was representing Ofcom. The message was all about tips for boosting my broadband speed. After the prerecorded bit ended, a lady with an Indian accent came on the line claiming she was from Ofcom too. When I asked her to give me the genuine Ofcom contact number she was calling from, she just cut me off and hung up.Ofcom7 yearsSomebody called me saying they were from Ofcom and that there was a compulsory update needed for my internet. Felt a bit iffy about it and reckon it could’ve been risky if I’d let them fiddle with my computer.Ofcom7 yearsPretty sure it’s the same lot ringing me from 01863 269656 earlier on. Didn’t pick up, but all the other numbers they’ve used before turned out to be fake broadband scammers, so why should this one be any different? I reckon I’ve had about seven calls from different numbers in just a week. Proper annoying.Submit Your Own Report (01863 268696)
