10 yearsThis number has called me repeatedly only to disconnect when I answer. It’s high time they faced some scrutiny and were put to a halt!10 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent saying she was from BT Open Reach. She said there was a virus issue on my computer and wanted me to log in. When I mentioned I’d double check directly with Open Reach, she just hung up on me. Quite dodgy if you ask me.BT Open ReachOpen Reach10 yearsTwice I got calls from Laso Pharmacy, first a woman called Amanda, then her brother Joseph from Mumbai. They said their place was in the US and that they could get me Viagra and stuff cheaper (I don't take those pills anyway, so no saving for me). Joseph was pretty polite and stuck to his lines, so he didn't slip up when I asked questions.Laso PharmacyAmandaJosephMumbaiUSViagra10 yearsSome lady with an Asian accent rang me saying she was from BT Openreach, but she didn't even know my name. I told her she sounded more like a cheat or a scam artist than someone real from BT. That fake "Good morning sir, how are we today?" line always gives them away every time!BT OpenreachBT10 yearsSaid they were with BT Openreach like others here mentioned. On the third try, we ended up just hanging up since the caller said nothing.BT10 yearsGot a call from these fraudsters who wanted me to let them into my computer!10 yearsGot a call earlier today, took me a bit to pick up. The person on the line spoke with an accent, sounded like they were quite far off. She said she was from a pharmacy and tried to push some discounted meds on me. I told her I wasn’t interested and the call ended straight away.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me twice a day for more than a week now. Sometimes the caller says they're from OpenReach, other times they just hang up after no one answers. It’d be lovely if “someone” could actually sort these annoying calls out. Whoever manages to put an end to this mess deserves a huge award or even a knighthood - anyone dealing with these calls would be super grateful, honestly.10 yearsWe've been troubled by this number ringing us thrice over the past three days-two chaps and a lady on the line, all claiming to be from BT Openreach! They kept insisting there was an issue with our computer, and their accents were distinctly Indian. Our phone is now full of 'blocked' numbers-surely there must be measures in place to deal with these scammers! As seniors, we manage to keep our wits about us, but I can't help but worry for those who might not be as sharp. Let's just say I wasn't exactly polite in my response!BT Openreach10 yearsThis number called me twice within a day. Both times, it was a lady speaking with an Indian accent saying hackers were messing with my computer. I told her that was nonsense since I don't even own a computer, and she just hung up on me.10 yearsI picked up the call, but after a moment of stillness, I decided to hang up.10 yearsI received a call from a chap with an Indian accent who introduced himself as John, claiming to be from Open Reach. I was rather sceptical and told him I’d verify his number with the Fraud Squad. He faltered a bit and agreed, and that was the end of our conversation. Logged the incident at 13:21 on the 11th of October, 2016.JohnOpenFraud Squad10 yearsGot a ring from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from BT Openreach. Straight away, I knew it was the same voice from a call I got a couple of weeks back about some PPI thing. I didn’t hang around, told her she was a scammer and that I’d report her, then I just cut the call.BT Openreach10 yearsI called but no one answered so I just hung up.10 yearsThis number rang me up pretending to be BT Openreach. The lady on the line warned that hackers are trying to grab our internet details. I asked her to email the details to the address on our account and she just asked "what’s the email?". I told her she’d already know it if she really worked for BT, and then she hung up right away. Classic scam move, looks like they keep trying different versions of the same trick.BT OpenreachBT10 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Asian accent saying she was from BT Openreach. She told me my computer had a virus and asked me to turn it on so they could sort it out. Definitely a scam from that number.BT Openreach10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Norton antivirus support. They had me check the event viewer and said the errors I saw meant my computer was full of viruses. Then, they told me to go to join.zoho to start a remote access session. I didn’t go any further, so no idea what would have come next. Seemed fishy to me.10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, but it was obvious it was some bloke from India. When I mentioned I’d check the number by dialling 1471, they just went quiet and then cut me off. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.Virgin Media10 yearsGot a call from some Indian call centre guys, sounded like they were trying to collect cash for some dodgy terror group, if you ask me. Proper sketchy bunch.10 yearsI've received a call from this number previously. I tend to ignore any calls from numbers I'm not familiar with.10 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying she was calling from a pharmacy, asking if I was taking any meds. When I asked what for, she just said “because we’re a pharmacy.” Told her I don’t do questions from random callers and she just hung up on me. Weird.10 yearsI picked up, and all I got was silence followed by a recorded woman saying "Goodbye" before the line went dead. Strange, no one actually spoke.10 yearsThis number just rang me up, saying they were calling from Virgin Media. They wanted to check if I was aware my internet was running slow. I told them I hadn’t experienced any issues and that I’d get in touch with Virgin Media myself if I ever did. After chatting for a bit, the bloke ended the call. The creepy bit is, he actually knew my email address as well.Virgin Media10 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy who said he was with "Lassa Pharmacy" and asked for me by name. He wanted to know if I was on any meds. I told him I’d never heard of that place and it’s none of his business what medication I take. I also told him to stop calling me.Lassa Pharmacy10 yearsI received a call from a woman with a distinctly Indian accent, clearly working from a call centre in India. She introduced herself as representing "the Online Pharmacy, sir," and wanted to inquire if I was currently taking any medications. When I pressed her on whether her company had more success with this line of questioning compared to the ongoing Microsoft scam that’s been around for ages, she abruptly ended the call. What a pity. Total scammers!IndiaOnline PharmacyMicrosoft10 yearsReceived a couple of calls earlier today, around half ten in the morning. The initial call was from a gentleman with an Indian accent who mumbled something that was completely garbled before hanging up. On the second attempt, when I inquired about the purpose of his call, he swiftly ended the conversation as well. Interestingly, one of the earlier comments refers to an Indian caller purporting to be from Norton antivirus just five days back. I had a similar encounter not long ago, aware that my subscription was all in order. When I mentioned I couldn’t quite grasp what he was saying, another individual took over, and alas, he was just as unclear. That call ended promptly as well. It's quite comforting to see others sharing their experiences. Just a fortnight ago, an Indian chap insisted I had been involved in an accident, to which I promptly replied that he knew full well I hadn’t been anywhere near one!Norton10 yearsReceived two calls in quick succession, one at 10:22 AM and another just five minutes later at 10:27 AM. During the first call, there was nothing but the sound of the answering machine bidding farewell. On the second attempt, an Asian gentleman was on the line inquiring after my husband. I made it clear we are ex-directory and requested they refrain from contacting us again.10 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with a pharmacy, asking to speak to my husband and mentioned his name right away. They said it was about some medication.10 yearsI got a call but no one spoke, just a click and then it hung up as soon as I picked up.10 yearsGot a call from a lady with a strong Indian accent, sounded like she was from one of those call centres. She said she was from "the Online Pharmacy, sir" and wanted to ask if I was on any meds. I asked her if their script actually worked better than that infamous Microsoft scam that’s been going around forever. She just cut me off straight away. What a joke. Complete scammers, honestly.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who asked for me by name. I told him to remove me from their calling list since they’ve rang me several times before, then he just ended the call. Before, they pretended to be from Norton Antivirus, trying to sell me some fix for my slow laptop through Pc World, but only if I bought it straight away from them. I said I’d rather pop into Pc World and sort it face to face. Guess what? They just hung up!Norton AntivirusPC World10 yearsI received a call from a chap with an Asian accent claiming to be from a pharmacy. He was waffling on about some extraordinary deal offering up to 70% off my prescriptions. I politely declined and hung up the phone, but honestly, anyone could fall for that sort of trickery. What if someone without scepticism believes these con artists? It frustrates me to no end that these dodgy characters keep pestering us. I really wish there was a way to put a stop to their shifty antics for good!10 yearsI received three calls within a twenty-minute window, from 9:30 to 9:50. Each time, there was just silence on the other end, followed by a robotic voice bidding farewell. Such a bother! Could anyone suggest the best way to block these pesky calls?10 yearsConstantly getting calls every few mins from some kind of auto-dialler, then all I hear is a voice just saying goodbye. I guess the scammers on the other end are tied up or don't bother answering.10 yearssomeone called saying they were from norton antivirus and needed to fix my pc, but i said no way and that id get in touch with norton myself. then the call just suddenly dropped.Norton AntivirusNorton10 yearsI received a call from a gentleman who said he was representing Norton Antivirus, and he sounded as if he were based in India.Norton AntivirusIndia10 yearsthis number kept ringing me three times in just ten minutes. when i tried calling it back, it went straight to some kind of robot message saying the number was unknown. quite odd if you ask me.10 yearsthis is a classic microsoft scam so dont pick up. they tell you your pc has problems and ask you to install software or let them control your computer remotely. once you question them, they just hang up. really suspicious! its about time someone cracked down on these call centres.Microsoft10 yearsI was utterly baffled by what he meant.10 yearsReceived a call at half-four in the afternoon UK time from someone requesting a “David”. The chap had an Indian accent and claimed to be from my pharmacy. My flatmate thought it was a local chemist calling and handed the phone over to me. Eventually, I caught on that it was a dodgy Indian scam artist trying to peddle some vlagra and asking for my credit card details. I swiftly ended the conversation, warning him never to ring me again. To all who come across this, I strongly advise against answering calls from this number - it’s definitely a scam.UKDavid10 yearsI received a call from someone with a distinctly Indian accent claiming to represent the Windows technical support team regarding my computer. I immediately recognised it as a scam but played along, telling him I didn’t actually own a Windows machine. He was visibly taken aback and stammered a bit before abruptly ending the call. Quite amusing, really!Submit Your Own Report (021 5622 3163)
