4 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming to be from BT’s tech support, saying there was dodgy stuff going on with my IP address. He asked what gadgets I had connected and how many folks used the internet at my place. When I pressed him about the ‘illegal activity’, he just said he’d get to it and offered to help me sort it out on my PC. Pretty clear scam, been floating about for years - used to be from "Microsoft Windows", now it’s BT. Made it seem legit by calling from a local number (Bicester), so I guess they just sift through BT’s call data and try their luck on random numbers.BTMicrosoftBicester10 yearsFor a few days in a row, I've been getting calls where nobody says a word.

I told him I was in the middle of watching some porn and he goes, "How old's your mum then?" Gotta give him credit for sticking with it. He even confessed it was a scam and bragged about having a 90% success rate, which honestly I found hard to believe but somehow felt a bit sorry for him.10 yearsSo this guy called me from this number saying there were some alert messages on my Windows PC. I told him I was busy watching porn at that moment, and out of nowhere he started asking how old my mum was. Gotta hand it to him, pretty dedicated scammer.
