9 yearsTried calling the house but nobody was about to pick up. Gave my husband's mobile a ring later that day but when he finally answered, it just sounded like some sort of automated message. Pretty weird.9 yearsGot a call from someone sounding asian, saying they were from BT about our internet. We actually have a different provider, so I knew it was dodgy and just blocked the number.9 yearsThis has got to be one of the most obvious cons going. The number traces back to Talk Talk, which makes sense. I had a bit of fun with the caller, messing about for about ten minutes before saying I didn’t own a computer. Seriously, never let them get remote access to your gear. If it sounds like the usual spiel, just cut them off straight away.TalkTalk9 yearsThis morning at approximately 09:05, I received a call from this number. When I answered, there was only silence on the line. After a brief pause, they disconnected. Shortly thereafter, the phone rang again. This time, on a line that was practically inaudible, I heard the inquiry, "Can you hear me now?" I chose not to engage and hung up, feeling a bit uneasy about the whole situation. To be honest, I couldn't shake the suspicion that it might be a sophisticated scam trying to catch me out by recording a simple 'yes' for nefarious purposes.9 yearsI've had a call from someone claiming to be from BT, requesting permission to access my internet. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!BT9 yearsI’m absolutely tired of receiving calls that claim to be from BT about my internet connection. One would think that BT would have the technology to identify and block these nuisance numbers by now! As someone approaching my 80th year, getting up to four of these calls a day has driven me to switch off my landline altogether. The unfortunate thing is that my landline isn't near a power socket, so I don’t have the luxury of caller ID, otherwise, I'd simply ignore these persistent calls.BT9 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be with BT about my internet, but I’ve never even had BT. I told him to remove me from their calling list and hung up. This is the second time they’ve rung me!BT9 yearsHad a call from a bloke who claimed he was Kevin from BT Openreach, said someone was tapping into my internet and wanted to run some tests to sort it out. Told him I couldn’t do it then as I was heading out, but he kept pushing, even told me to ring a mate to say I’d be late. When I said no, he threatened to cut my internet off to “protect” it. That’s when I lost it a bit. He said he’d call back the next day. I rang BT myself afterwards and they told me it was a scam. Kinda hoping he calls again tomorrow so I can have another go.KevinBT OpenreachBT9 yearsI'm not feeling well at all, so I kindly ask that you give me some space.9 yearsToday I got a call from someone with an Asian accent, saying stuff that sounded dodgy. I asked what number he was ringing from, and he said it was an 0800 one. I kept chatting with him for a bit just to waste his time and hopefully stop him scamming others. Eventually, he hung up when I told him I could tell he was trying to con me.9 yearsthe caller sounded foreign and kept asking about the heating or maybe the connection, wasnt quite sure which.9 yearsTried ringing but nobody picked up.9 yearsOver the past couple of days, this number called me thrice but didn’t say a word. After seeing what others have said, I’ve decided to block it now.9 yearsJust like the others said, got a call about 9.30 this morning from some bloke saying he was from BT. He had an Asian accent. When I asked him for BT’s official contact number, he kept saying no and then suddenly cut me off. Seriously, don’t fall for it! They want you to log into your computer while you’re chatting, so they can nick your info. Watch out for this scam!BT9 yearsGot a couple calls yesterday; first time I answered it was just silence then suddenly someone said “bye”. Today, an Indian guy rang saying there were issues with our internet that was messing up their servers and he wanted to help fix it. I told him I'd only go along with it if he got my local police to pop round while we sorted it. He just went mad and said, “are you nuts?” so I just ended the call straight away.9 yearsI had a rather alarming phone call earlier today from someone claiming to be from BT. They insisted I needed to switch on my computer, but when I politely declined and mentioned I’d reach out to BT directly if there was an issue, the chap audibly lost his temper. He actually told me to “go to hell” and threatened that they’d cut my service off. I promptly ended the call, as it clearly was a scam.BT9 yearsGot a call from these folks today, supposedly from BT warning me about viruses on my internet devices. I mentioned some real BT complaint numbers about our ongoing internet problems, which had them sounding confused. Our internet isn’t working properly right now and I’m actually waiting on a proper BT technician to sort it. They didn’t seem to understand the details I gave them at all, unlike the genuine BT reps I’ve dealt with before who could check everything fine. Definitely felt like a scam attempt.BT9 yearsGot a couple of calls this morning, 8:30 and then again at 9:30, supposedly from BT’s tech team about our internet. Complete rubbish really, since we’re with a different company. I think the number’s been faked, even though 1471 showed it as legit. They’d also tried ringing me yesterday, and surprisingly this bloke actually stayed on the line while I grilled him about why they bother doing this and how many folks fall for the scam before he just hung up on me. What a joke!BT9 yearsI got a call but when I picked up, no one spoke. Then some automated voice came on and just said goodbye.9 yearsGot a call from a guy who said he was from BT, but he clearly wasn't. He told me my internet was gonna get cut off soon and tried to get into my computer. Total scam, watch out!BT9 yearsThey ring me every morning sharp at 8 but when I pick up, there's nobody on the line.9 yearsReceived a cheeky call from a chap named Jack - claims he’s from BT or something similar, offering internet security services. Found it rather amusing since the number's traced back to Galashiels in Scotland. Total scam, if you ask me!JackBTGalashielsScotland9 yearsI picked up the call, but they hung up right away.9 yearsI received a call purporting to be from BT Broadband, but it turned out to be a complete trick!BT BroadbandSubmit Your Own Report (01896 547102)
