I picked up and the person just cut off straight away. Such a pain!

Got a ring from some lazy folks in London who couldn’t be arsed to leave any message telling me what it was about. Is it just rude or what? Proper cheeky behaviour. Why even bother calling if you ain’t gonna have the manners to explain why? Just lazy and disrespectful, if you ask me.

Got a voicemail on my phone which is on the TPS list, claiming to be from HMRC. This number has been linked to loads of scams before, and honestly, I reckon the people who should be shutting down these numbers are just as bad as the scammers. It’s beyond frustrating.

Got a call from 02080779248 around 1:45pm, some bloke with a foreign accent telling me I owed tax and that my account was going to get frozen, with threats about being arrested. I just told him I’d be reporting it to the police and demanded they remove my number from their list.

Got a voicemail from someone claiming to be HMRC, saying I’d go to prison if I didn’t pay my taxes. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me, no way HMRC would leave a message like that!

I got a robotic voicemail warning me that I might face arrest for not paying taxes and that my wages or bank accounts could get frozen. It told me to sort it out by pressing '1' or ringing the case officer at the number provided.

I hadn’t asked for it or anything. There was no actual voice, just a kind of buzzing or noise that made me think some phone system was detecting I’d answered. Quite odd, really.

Got a call from this number earlier but no voicemail or anything, so I'm guessing it wasn't anything urgent. I don't know the number, so probably just some annoying telemarketer or one of those scams. After reading what others said about it, I've decided to block it straight away.

Got a call from that number claiming to be HMRC saying I owed tax from 10 years ago, they left a callback number. HMRC doesn’t use automated calls like that, so it’s definitely a scam.

Got a call from some robot claiming to be HMRC, threatening arrest and all that. Honestly, at this rate, maybe jail would be quieter without these nonstop calls! Trying to report it to Action Fraud feels totally pointless though!

I nearly fell for this one
There was a recorded message claiming I hadn't kept up with payments
Said if I didn’t ring back, they’d freeze my accounts straight away
And I could get arrested, fined, locked up - all sorts of scary stuff.

They kept asking me to press 1 for something or 2 for something else

Be careful everyone, these scams can really freak you out and cause a lot of worry.

How come loads of you lot are way too polite about this? These crooks don’t care one bit and will clean out your bank without blinking. They’re liars and thieves, a real blight on society. Being nice just makes you a mug - get the info you need, set up a meeting, then sort them out proper. With all these Guardian-reading, unicorn-loving types around, these lowlifes are just gonna blend into the background like the teen attackers, drug addicts, and pickpockets we see all the time.

Early this morning I got a call from some "BT engineers" again. Meanwhile, a family member just passed away and we're still expecting the Bereavement Team to get in touch. And of course, scam calls show up right on cue. No chance you're disconnecting our internet like you threatened before - not this time, not ever. It’s so annoying that no one seems to stop these annoying calls. Why is nothing being done about it?

On 9th May 2019, at around 2:39pm, I received a call from 02080779248. It was this automated voice claiming to be BT, warning me my internet would be cut off because someone was supposedly hacking my computer. They told me to press 1 to talk to a consultant. I ended up hanging up, but the line wouldn’t disconnect straight away. I had to keep fiddling with the phone before finally getting the dial tone.

Got a robo call claiming to be BT, this has happened like 3 or 4 times now. I ended up reporting it through Action Fraud. The calls seem to come from a specific area in India. It’s mad to think we send them aid when they’re pulling this kind of scam. No doubt some folks will end up getting ripped off.

Got a robocall today saying it was BT tech support, warning me they’d disconnect our internet. Thing is, we don’t even have BT here. This is the third time this week, but each time the phone number’s been different. I've been blocking the numbers as they come through, but it keeps happening. I’ve reported it to the ICO and plan to alert BT as well, since they're using the company’s name to scam people.

Total scam, just hang up straight away. If you’re a BT customer, ring 1572 and block the number so these dodgy callers can’t bother you again. They’ll probably call back from another number with the same recorded spiel, but BT would never ring you about something like that. Stay sharp!
