Got a call from this number around 11:10 on the 27th of June. I checked my voicemail through BT’s 1571 service and all I found was dead silence - definitely not a proper call. Seeing what others have said about this number, it seems like the typical “BT router malware” scam. If they call me again, I’m gonna mess with them for a while before letting them know I’m onto their scam.

I've had a right good go at fending off these persistent phone nuisances, even after I unleashed a tirade on some tech support chap who had a bit of an Asian accent. The last time they rang, I feigned interest and strung them along for ages, chatting away with various folks from their team. It was thoroughly entertaining, as I pretended to be a rather forgetful old man. Once we had a half-hour chat, I unleashed a torrent of expletives. What a laugh! I've even started scheduling appointments with these cold callers, just to have their salespeople pop round. When they arrive, I like to quiz them about the Telephone Preference Service and mention how much I enjoy wasting their time. Do bear in mind, though, that this is only for those who are pretty confident and can hold their own in a conversation!

I tend to only pick up calls from numbers I recognise, especially since I have caller ID. This particular number tried to reach me yesterday and has been relentless, ringing four times within the last hour alone. Although I have a voicemail service set up, they never bother to leave a message. It's beyond frustrating and really quite bothersome.

Got a call from some bloke speaking with a strong Indian accent, claiming he was from my internet provider, BT. Problem is, I don't even have BT as my ISP. When I told him all was fine, he insisted they had to access my computer. Then he lost it, called me a swear word and just ended the call! I’m signed up to the TPS list too, but it’s clear these scammers couldn’t care less about it. What a waste!

I've received a staggering 22 missed calls from this number over the past week! They usually ring twice in quick succession. We've even picked up the phone and asked them to remove us from their list, yet they continue to bombard us. One day, they tried to reach us a whopping 10 times! As someone who works from home and is self-employed, it's incredibly frustrating. Is there a way for me to block this number completely?

I keep getting calls from this number, like half a dozen times daily. They say they're with my internet provider and want to talk about my connection. Both guys and girls ring, all speaking with strong Indian accents. They’re not happy when I tell them to buzz off. It’s really starting to annoy me! I’m on the TPS, but it seems like they couldn’t care less about that.

This number kept ringing me up, saying my internet or laptop was infected with malware and they could sort it out. Once I told them I wasn’t falling for their scam, they started threatening me with stuff like A) bugger off B) I’ll blow up your computer C) I’ll just keep calling till you spill the info. Proper dodgy and annoying!

TOTALLY a scam. This bloke said he was from my internet company. So, I asked him which one I had. He said BT. I told him I’m not with BT at all. Then he starts going on about how they help people with BT, EE, TalkTalk and so on. I told him he was talking rubbish but he just wouldn’t stop, so I finally just ended the call.

Got a call from a guy with a really thick Indian accent who said his name was Daniel Johnson, claiming to be from Sky. He told me my router was acting up and that my computer was infected with some serious malware. Said he needed to get access to my PC. I told him his name didn’t sound right and that I wasn’t buying it. He was quite pushy, and I reckon he could have fooled someone less clued up about these scams. I asked to talk to his boss and then some bloke called Sam came on. As soon as I started asking more questions, they just hung up. Proper awful tricksters.

I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from my internet company, saying there was an issue with my router and that I might be at risk of getting hacked (which could well be true). I figured I'd humour her for a bit. She tried to guide me through some steps on my computer but seemed quite confused when I said I was using a Mac, not a Windows PC. Then she said she’d need to speak to her manager. That’s when I lost interest and ended the call.

I received a call from what appeared to be an 020 number on my phone, yet it was labelled as an international call. Quite strange! I answered but was met with utter silence. After investigating the number, it turns out it’s a scam. Definitely steer clear of this one!

Had a bunch of calls all day from Indian sounding people, men and women, saying there’s an issue with our internet or provider. This kept happening from morning right through to the afternoon. Even tho we’re unlisted and not on any directory, they kept ringing. They claimed they were from BT, but I told them I’m not a BT customer. At first they sounded pretty believable if you don’t know better, but now I’m certain it’s just a total scam.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with BT, saying there was an issue with my "router." They wanted me to get on my computer so they could sort it out. I pretended not to understand what they were talking about and kept them chatting for a bit. Eventually, they gave up and ended the call when it was clear I wasn’t buying it.

Got a ring around 9.30 this morning but no one picked up, so I tried back again at 9.58 and answered. The person said they were from British Telecom's tech team about my internet. They asked if I was the account holder, and I said they should already know. Then they tried saying my husband’s name, but it was all wrong. I said he wasn’t here and then just ended the call. Bet I’ll be getting loads more calls like this soon.

Somebody pretended to be from BT, even tho that's not my internet provider, saying there was an issue with my router and they’d fix it for free. I told them straight away I knew it was dodgy but they kept pushing. I asked for their number so I could ring back, but apparently they were 'calling through the internet' and couldn't give me one. After I kept refusing, they got annoyed, told me to go to hell and just hung up on me.

Had a woman claiming to be from BT ringing me about some issues with my router. She said she was calling from Yorkshire but used a 0207 number. When I called her out on it, she just told me to sod off - never had that happen before! These calls should really be banned. I get around three or four of them every day. I don't even pick up international numbers, yet these ones still manage to come through.

I’ve received multiple calls from this number today, and each time it’s an Asian American voice claiming there’s an issue with my router. When I inquire further, they mention BT, which I found rather suspicious since I’m not even a BT customer! Clearly, it’s a scam. Does anyone know how we might put an end to this? Sooner or later, someone will fall for this trickery!

Got a call from someone with a strong Indian accent saying they were from my "Service Provider's Technical Support." They told me there were problems reported with my internet but never said what kind of problems or mentioned which company they worked for. I told them I get calls like this all the time and reckoned it was just a scam. After that, they went quiet on the line and then just disconnected.

Afterwards, I reported the number to my ISP. I usually don’t get caught out by this stuff, but him knowing the exact provider nearly had me fooled for a moment.

This number has rung me twice back to back days. First time, an Asian bloke was on the line and next day, it was an Asian lady. They both claimed my router was throwing errors to BT, which I don’t even use as my internet provider. I’ve years of experience with computers and networking, so I could tell straight away it was rubbish. I told them both it was complete bollocks and clearly a scam. The guy actually called me a liar before slamming the phone down, while the woman kept pestering about my internet connection.

Got a call from an Asian guy claiming he was from my internet company, saying there was a problem with my router. I kept asking which provider he was with, and after a bit he first said BT, but when I told him I don’t use BT, he switched to TalkTalk. He wanted me to log into my router so he could “fix the issue,” but after I said no a few times, he just hung up. Definitely sounds like a scam to get you to give them control of your device. This number really ought to be blocked, but since it comes into the UK, who’s actually in charge of stopping these calls?

I received a call from a gentleman with a noticeable foreign accent, claiming to be from my internet service provider, attempting to sort out a router issue. I kept pressing him on which provider he represented, and he initially mentioned BT. Upon my clarification that I don’t have an account with them, he swiftly changed his tune to TalkTalk. He insisted I log into my router to supposedly fix a problem, but after I firmly declined multiple times, he abruptly hung up. This is clearly a scam intended to gain access to your computer. It’s concerning that these calls manage to reach UK residents. Who, I wonder, has the authority to block such numbers before they intrude upon our landlines?

An Asian gentleman rang me up, claiming to be from my internet provider, attempting to sort out a so-called issue with my router. I repeatedly probed him about which provider he represented, and he eventually mentioned BT. When I clarified that I'm not a BT customer, he quickly switched to saying he was from TalkTalk instead. He insisted that I log into my router to remedy the problem, but after I firmly declined-multiple times-he hung up. It’s clearly a scam designed to gain remote access to your machine. This number ought to be blocked as it comes into the UK-yet who is responsible for taking that action?
