I've received a couple of calls from this number within just a couple of days. The chap on the other end, who spoke with quite a strong accent, claimed his name was Kevin and that he represented BT. He promptly asked if I was experiencing issues with my internet. When I pressed him for details, he regurgitated the same lines, unmistakably reading from a pre-prepared script. So, I decided to have a bit of fun and told him I was with the police, inquiring about which of our numerous phone and internet lines he was referring to. He quickly hung up without another word!

Got a call with no one on the other end, just pure silence. Bit annoying really.

Is there a way to entirely block this number so that it can't keep bothering those who receive these pesky scam calls? Cheers, K.J.P.

I got a call saying my internet would be disconnected soon because of some router issues, supposedly from BT. But I told them I don't even use BT, so why would they be calling me? When I asked where they were calling from, they said "Ontario." It felt a bit more sketchy than the normal spam calls and the chat lasted a while, but in the end, they just hung up. The number didn’t show up as anything familiar either.

Got a call from a bloke pretending to be from a London EC1 postcode, said there was some dodgy download activity on my internet line (even though I'm with Virgin, not BT). He told me if I didn't log into my PC right away, my computer ID would be cut off in a couple of hours and I wouldn’t be able to use it anymore. When I started messing about and not taking him seriously, he got pretty rude and angry.

My mother in law got scammed out of £80 after someone convinced her to let them fix her computer remotely. Thankfully, she doesn’t use it for her online banking! It’s shocking how the police here in the UK and in India, along with BT, don’t crack down on these fraudsters more. Having worked at BT myself, I’m certain they have the means to trace these calls right back to those call centres in India if they worked together with the authorities. They could have the entire operation shut down and those scammers arrested without a problem.

These people, they never say a word!

Some bloke rang me saying he was from BT, saying my PC was throwing up errors or something. I told him I wasn’t daft and just ended the call straight away.

Totally a rip-off, don’t trust it.

Somebody rang me up pretending to be from BT, but they had a strong Indian accent and their English was awful. They said someone was using my broadband overseas without permission and that I'd face serious consequences. They asked if I could spare a few minutes to check all the gadgets linked to my connection. Totally dodgy, I steered clear straight away.

Received a call from a call centre, and to be honest, they didn’t even bother to ask for my name. Just a generic "hello" in response to my greeting. It left me no choice but to end the call abruptly. I'm already registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so this was utterly pointless!

One of my elderly family members got a call from this place, and they were guided step-by-step to do things on their computer, which ended up with a virus that completely wrecked it. Today, I got two calls: the first one had someone telling me how to open my desktop, then they passed me to their manager. When I questioned him, he just cut the call straight away, just like I expected. Then, about an hour later, I got a call with no one speaking. How on earth are these scams still allowed to go on?!

Fake caller for sure!

This person claiming to be from my internet provider was asking loads of personal info. I wasn’t having any of it and gave them a piece of my mind!

TOTAL SCAM. This bloke called claiming he was from BT, saying there was an issue with our internet. I said he was talking nonsense and clearly a scammer, and he just started shouting and swearing at me. Proper unpleasant.

Yeah, it’s really frustrating these calls are scams and that the authorities just can’t track the numbers down. Would be good if they caught these scammers and threw them in jail for some time. It’s pretty sad what people do.

same here, got a call from some dodgy characters claiming to be from bt. their act was pretty rubbish, but things turned nasty when i said no and they started mouthing off at me.

Just had a caller trying to tell me there was a problem with my internet or computer. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT, saying my laptop had been hacked because of loads of errors showing up in the event viewer, which I know are normal. He wanted me to let him access my computer remotely, but I said no two times and then he just ended the call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be BT, trying to get me to hand over my details. Told them straight away I wouldn’t share any info. Thankfully, no suspicious activity showed up on my account after that.

I phoned BT and they told me straight away it was a scam.

Got a call from someone speaking with an Indian accent, saying there was suspicious activity on my BT broadband account. I asked for my account number to confirm, but he said he couldn’t share that info. Mentioned getting his supervisor, and then he just hung up. Rang BT myself and they told me they don’t call customers from other providers, plus the number wasn’t theirs. Tried to report the scam but they weren’t much help at all, felt like talking to a brick wall. Total scam situation.

got a call from someone with an indian accent saying they were from bt, told me my internet would be cut off in 10 days. i asked him to give me my account number, and he said he couldn't share that info. that was when i just hung up. total scammer.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent who said his name was Robin (sure, mate!) and told me there was dodgy activity on my BT broadband and he was going to switch it off. Total scam!
