I’ve been getting calls every couple of minutes from someone with an Asian accent claiming there’s an issue with my BT broadband. They keep saying someone in the States is using my internet to make purchases. They tried to get me to log onto my PC and press different keys to reveal some kind of warning message. I stopped picking up now because they’re really annoying. Good to hear these are just scammers, so I don’t feel bad ignoring their attempts to ‘fix’ the ‘issue’ they keep talking about.

Got a call saying my internet would be disconnected at midday because of suspicious activity, supposedly from BT. I asked them who exactly they were trying to reach. They wanted me to verify my address, but I told them they should already have it to make sure! Then they rattled off some completely different address. I just laughed and said there's no way you're BT. After that, they just ended the call. Definitely a scam.

The call got handed over to me by my partner, so I made the caller hang on for about 5 minutes. Then I said I needed to restart my computer, apologising for it running so sluggishly. After some more wait time, I claimed it had frozen. Another reboot followed, with more waiting involved. The guy kept trying to guide me through fixing the issues, but I was taking my time. Then it hit me - I’m with Virgin - and just like that, the line cut off. :)

Got a call from someone claiming to be BT saying my internet was going to be disconnected today due to some issues. They couldn’t give me any proper details or confirm who they were, which was suspicious. Plus, I’m not even a BT customer, so definitely a scam.

I got a call from some bloke claiming he was from the BBC, saying my computer was messed up and he could sort it out if I just turned it on. I told him I wasn’t having any problems and asked if he could maybe find his mum or dad instead, as I’d rather chat to them. He didn’t take that well at all and told me to get lost in the rudest way possible. Proper weird and rude call that was.

I got a ring earlier today and there was loads of noise in the background, sounded like a call centre or something. Nobody said a word though, the call just dropped straight away. Seeing what folks have said here before, I’m pretty sure it’s another one of those dodgy scams from the usual crooks. Blocked the number straight away.

I've received a number of calls purporting to be from BT or Virgin Media as well. It seems that these deceitful attempts are becoming the go-to tactic for scammers, which is rather worrying... It's crucial that we all do our bit to inform others about the dangers lurking out there!

We've been getting loads of calls from people with strong Asian accents claiming they’re from BT, saying there’s a problem with our computer. My partner is unwell so it’s just really annoying. I keep telling them we know it’s a scam and they’re wasting their time, but they won’t stop ringing - often early in the morning too. Sometimes we get a couple of calls each day. It’s really getting on my nerves.

We keep getting calls from people claiming to be from BT, saying there's an issue with my computer, and they're always Asian accents. My husband’s poorly and it's like they never stop. I keep telling them I know it’s a scam and to stop calling, but they just don’t listen. Sometimes they call early in the morning, easily two or three times daily. Honestly, it’s driving me mad.

Got a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent saying she was from BT. I ended up shouting at her and just cut off the call. Honestly, I reckon if you blow a whistle loudly into the phone it might freak them out. I don’t get why these scammers aren’t getting nabbed, or why we don’t hear about them on the radio, TV, or even from BT itself. Really glad I stumbled across this site, it’s helpful.

This number rang me three times within about a minute, all about BT, and the caller was an Asian man. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, a different person answered, also with an Asian accent. I told him to remove us from their call list, but he got really rude and started shouting stuff like “f##k off” at us multiple times. Then, he had the nerve to call me an English B#####d, which is funny because I'm actually Scottish! If we said anything like that about someone else’s background, we’d probably be accused of racism. By the way, we don’t even use BT.

I got a call from a guy who said his name was Steven and claimed he worked for BT. He had an Asian accent and told me there was an issue with my internet. He said he was calling from 81 Newgate Street EC1 7AJ. When I asked to talk to a manager, another person with a similar accent came on and denied being in India, sticking to the same story. After a bit, I was back on the line with Steven who kept insisting I turn on my computer so he could sort out the problem. In the end, he just gave up and hung up on me.

I've been getting calls from someone claiming to be the 'BT department,' but it's obviously a scam. After spending two decades in IT, I can tell when someone's talking nonsense. This bloke with an Indian accent was just rattling off rubbish. Best thing is to hang up straight away - don't listen or do what they want, it's just not worth the risk!

Been getting calls from this number literally every single day - what a treat. Once again they claim to be BT saying there’s a problem with my broadband. Today, I cheerfully told the nice bloke from India, “this is a scam, back off, this is a scam, back off.” He quickly responded, “Miss, this isn’t a scam.” My comeback? “This is a scam, go away,” (and yes, I sang it, just for fun). He ended the call right after.

Got a call from a guy claiming his name was Steven, said he worked for BT and that my internet had issues. He said he was calling from an address in EC1 7AJ, something like 81 Newgate Street. I asked to talk to his supervisor, who also spoke with an Asian accent and kept denying they were based in India, sticking to their tale. After a bit, Steven came back on the line and kept pushing me to turn on my computer so he could "sort out" the internet problem. In the end, he just gave up and hung up.

Got a call today from someone claiming a hacker was using our BT broadband. I made sure I heard right when he said "BT" - that's when it hit me this bloke was fake, we don't even have BT internet. I decided to give him a piece of my mind, told him "Just do one and stop bothering us. You're a con artist and can jog on!" Oddly, he hasn't tried ringing again since.

Every time I answer a call from a number beginning with "0234," all I get is that typical call centre background noise before I hang up. From what I understand, the proper codes for Southampton and Portsmouth start with "023," but then the next digit should be either "8" for Southampton and nearby areas or "9" for Portsmouth and the surrounding region. So a number with "0234" doesn’t really fit - it seems like a fake. That’s why I reckon any call coming from a number starting with "0234" is likely a scam.

I've been getting loads of calls from people with thick Indian accents, mostly blokes, but once a woman too. They always say they're from BT. The last one even gave his name as "Mark Wilson from BT services," which is a laugh since I don't have any BT service whatsoever! These calls keep coming, multiple times each day, and nothing seems to stop them - not being nice or even getting quite harsh. Honestly, I don't think they properly get English at all. It's so frustrating.

I received a call from a number that purported to be from BT's technical support. They claimed my server was riddled with errors and that hackers might be trying to access my data. They offered to guide me on how to sort it out, but first wanted me to power up my computer. I didn't fall for it and pushed back a bit, which prompted a supervisor to chime in, trying to convince me further. I reiterated that I had been warned this was a con, and just like that, they abruptly ended the call. Quite the dodgy business, if you ask me!

This number’s been ringing me like crazy - about 4 times in just a couple days. Luckily, my caller ID shows my own town name, like “St Albans” or something, so I just pick up saying it’s St Albans Dog Shelter, and they usually drop the call right away. Still, they don’t seem to get the hint and keep on dialing. Quite annoying!

So I got a couple of calls recently from some lads claiming to be from BT Internet - they were called "John" and "Robert". They were trying to convince me to let them run some sort of program on my PC so they could basically get full access. I remember these scams used to say they were from Microsoft. Lucky I’m on Linux, eh? No way they’re getting in! Hehe!

Just got a call from these lot, so watch out! A mate of mine fell for their trick last week - they somehow got into her PC and wiped out her bank account. Today, they rang me pretending to be from BT, saying my internet would be cut off because my IP was nicked and being used overseas. I told the bloke I wasn't buying it and that he should send me a letter or something. He just hung up on me!

Over the last few days, I've noticed they've been switching up the numbers they call from. I reckon they’re trying to hack into our computers or something. Occasionally, there’s no reply, but they keep ringing back. Can’t someone do something to put an end to these annoying ####?

This number has rang me for the third time now. When I answered, I asked the person what my name was, and he claimed I was a woman. I told him that if he really worked for BT, he’d know my name, but then he just gave some random name instead. I called him out on not being from BT and he ended the call straight away. On a previous call, he tried convincing us to hook up to the internet - no chance. Proper dodgy scam, I reckon.

Keep getting calls from this number and today the bloke actually swore at me, called me a 'Mother F___ER'. Can't tell if he's Indian or Chinese, but his English is awful.

Today I actually chatted with the guy a bit, asked how he was doing, about his family, then we had a laugh mentioning the weather here and there. At one point I told him I don’t have internet at home (which wasn’t true) just a dongle, and he had no clue what that even was! Honestly, these calls are so irritating by the end of it all.
