Had a call from BT with the same old excuse, telling me to get on my computer to fix something. Told them to do one straight away. The number they called from was 024490878758. When I ended the call, they rang back saying my internet would be cut off in an hour if I didn’t sort out some issue with my router online. My internet’s still working fine though. Total scam, just hung up on them.

Got a call from this number claiming my internet router was down. They told me to check the Play Store and type something in, but nothing showed up. Then they started asking about my bank details, like who my bank was. I said no to giving anything, but they insisted it wasn’t a scam and said they were from BT, even asking for my PIN. Proper dodgy, avoided it!

Got a call telling me they were with BT, chatted about this fault we've been having. Since the fault's real, I was all ears at first. Then they started going on about being offline for 4 days and wanted to get into our PC. Nah mate, not happening. I just ended the call right there.

When I picked up the phone, there was this awkward pause before anyone talked, so I figured it was some automated random dialler. The caller never asked for me by name, which was pretty clear they had no clue who they were ringing, even though they claimed to be from BT. Then, out of the blue, they said there were issues deep in my computer and tried to “assist” me. I wasn’t buying it when I called them out for being a scammer. The chat got really hostile when I said I wasn’t interested and ended the call. Not impressed at all.

Got two calls from this number today. The people on the line had Indian accents and said they were from the BT head office. I told them straight up they weren’t, and that they were calling from India. They just ended the call after that. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls like this. When I’ve talked to them before, they’ve claimed my internet was being hacked and asked how close I was to my router. I just hung up on them.

I didn't pick up, I figured it was dodgy. Reported it to Action Fraud just to be safe. Don't bother answering, it's definitely a scam.

On the morning of 21 September 2017, my workshop phone rang a few times but I didn’t answer straight away since I was tied up. When I finally checked the voicemail, all I could hear was some weird background sounds. Eventually, I picked up and the caller said they were from BT. After having a look at some of the comments here, it seems like this might have been a scammer attempting to access my system.

Somebody called saying they were from BT and tried to get me to use the computer to fix an internet problem. I just hung up on them straight away, and guess what - they actually called me again! What nerve!

So, this lady calling herself Carol Smith, with a pretty strange accent, said she was from BT. She told me my internet had been hacked, with more than 20 devices connected to it, and apparently hackers from Manchester were involved. She warned that my internet would be cut off for three weeks unless I let them get into my system and sort it out. I kept pressing her for more info and then she just ended the call. Bit of a laugh, honestly.

Today I got two calls that just ended right when I picked up, then later a call came through from a Private Number, which I reckon was linked. I've gone ahead and blocked them all and reported it.

They called saying they were from BT and claimed someone was using my internet while I was asleep. They asked me to check online, but I'm pretty sure it’s just a scam.

Got two calls from someone saying they were from BT's tech support. I just told them straight up I knew it was a scam and called them a couple of muppets.

Got a call from someone saying they were with BT, saying my emails were being hacked or something. I told them I was on a desktop, not a laptop, and they seemed pretty happy about that. Then they told me to press the control, windows, and r keys at the same time. I didn’t do it and just ended the call there. Feels like pressing those keys would’ve let them in or something dodgy like that?

I got a call from someone claiming they were from BT warning me I'd been scammed. The guy sounded Asian. I wasn’t having any of it and just hung up straight away. After that, I sent an email to BT to let them know about the call.

I got a call from a bloke who said my internet security was broken and I had to go on my computer right away to sort it. Felt dodgy to me cos he kept pushing me to type in stuff that would let him get in straight away. I just told him no thanks and ended the call.

The call was just a bunch of static and then they ended it abruptly.
