I got a call with a recorded woman’s voice telling me there were two odd payments from my bank that I didn’t recognise. She said to press 1 to stop the transactions, but I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from 01993 803604, this very posh sounding English bloke on a recording, said he was from BT. He kept talking about some problem with my broadband security and warned me not to do any online banking. Then he told me to press 'S' or ring up an 0800 number straight away. Ended up just hanging up on it.

This number has rung me a few times, both a bloke and a lady on the line. They wanted to know if I was the main user, but when I said no, they asked who it was, and after I said they're not around right now, they just hung up.

Definitely looks like a con to me, pretending to be from some security firm wanting to protect my house. Ive spent over two decades in IT and security, so when i told them that, they cut the call sharpish. i reckon they’re trying to send you to some dodgy site that either messes with your computer to ‘fix’ security problems while sneaking off with your data or leaves a way in for them to get back in anytime they like, or else they want your card details for charges. No doubt about it, it’s a total scam.

Got a call from a woman speaking really terrible English, asking to get into my computer. I said I didn’t even own one, wondering how that could happen. Without a word, she just hung up. Ha, obvious scam, total rip-off attempt.

A man with a foreign accent called, claiming I had accessed unsafe websites and offered to fix any problems these might've caused. I reckon it was all a trick to steal passwords. He kept insisting he could help if I was at my computer. To test him, I told him, “Why would a government computer have those issues?” He seemed confused and asked me to repeat it, which I did. Unexpectedly, he just hung up. Definitely a scam.

Today at about 11 in the morning, I got a ring from this number. A guy with a kind of foreign accent introduced himself as James and claimed he was ringing about my computer. I asked him what computer he meant, and he just said "your computer." I told him I had no clue what he was on about, and he just hung up straight away. That’s a clear sign it’s some sort of scam. I've blocked the number now, along with a few other annoying callers too!

Got a call from some lady abroad who said she'd help with my computer. She said she was from an IT firm but never told me which one. To be honest, she knew less about computers than my cat does!

Answered the call but nobody spoke, then it just dropped after about 20 seconds.

Give these individuals the disdain they’ve earned. Feel free to hurl some insults, let the expletives fly, and revel in it. That’s exactly what we just did!

It's all about the constant hassle, isn't it? And yet, there's a peculiar thrill in it all-such a laugh! These unfortunate souls are simply craving a bit of chit-chat, bless them.

Received a call from this number earlier, but as soon as we answered, the line went silent. It's such a shame because we'd love for them to ring back; we’d have a right laugh giving them a good run-around!

We've experienced a similar situation ourselves; she mispronounced our name, so we simply said our farewell and ended the call.
