Got a call from 02492736461 earlier, and the guy was saying that my internet would be cut off for like 15 days if I didn't let him do something on my laptop. Said if I didn’t agree, folks might be able to access all my files. Seems dodgy to me!

This number just called me out of the blue. The bloke said my internet would stop working for two weeks if I didn’t let him mess with my computer. He claimed if I refused, my personal files could get hacked or something like that.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent saying he was from BT, warning me my internet would be cut off for seven days. I told him I don’t even have BT as my provider. He kept pushing a bit but I just said I wasn’t interested and hung up. These calls seem to be happening more and more, same kind of number popping up all the time.

Had this woman on the phone who was obviously trying to scam me. I played the fool for a bit and she got annoyed, saying I was just messing about. She ended the call after about five minutes, couldn’t keep at it at all! I remember once dragging one of these scam calls out for over an hour. Phishers nowadays just don’t have the stamina they used to.

Got a call from someone saying they were with BT, said my internet was hacked or something. I asked for my BT account number to prove it, but they couldn’t give it. Then I told them I don’t even have a PC, and they just told me to f##k off for wasting their time, haha. Guess they don’t appreciate it when you wind them up! :)

Yesterday, I got a call from this number: 02492736461. The people on the line claimed they were from the National Cyber Crime Agency. They told me someone had tried to hack into my home PC from Bangkok, but said it was in Indonesia, which seemed odd. They then asked me to visit some suspicious website. I ended up chatting with them on my mobile for about 8 minutes. Once I mentioned I actually use an Apple iMac, not a Windows computer, they just hung up. Both lads speaking sounded like they had Asian accents. Can anyone tell me who to report this to?

Got a call from some bloke claiming he was with BT. He wanted me to install this app called TeamViewer and then share all the websites I usually visit with him. Said there were problems on my end or something. When he asked which bank I use, I just ended the call. Fingers crossed I didn’t accidentally give them anything useful to scam me with.

Today, I got a call from a man who sounded like he was from India, claiming to be part of the Windows tech support team. He told me my computer had some kind of issue, but I told him there was nothing wrong and asked him to take my number off their list before hanging up. He rang straight back and started yelling at me not to hang up, but I just did anyway. After that, he kept phoning me around 8 more times. When I tried to make a call, I couldn’t get through because he was tying up my line. Watch out for these con artists, they can be really persistent.

A guy said he was from the National Cybercrime Unit, saying my PC was acting up. I asked for his IP address, and he read out a number that could never be an actual external IP. When I mentioned that, he started to spout another rubbish number but then suddenly cut me off. Pretty sure if I’d gone along with it, he’d have tried to trick me into downloading some dodgy software pretending to fix things. My advice? Just end the call straight away.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he was from BT, but I told him I’m not a customer and then hung up. Then less than a minute later, a woman called from the exact same number! Told her to buzz off and stop bothering me. This all happened the other day but they kept ringing like six times in a row. Honestly, I’m so fed up with it. The worst part is my phone doesn’t have a block number feature :(

Yesterday I got called twice by women claiming to be from BT, saying my Internet was being accessed by someone else. It sounded dodgy straight away, so I just hung up. Then today, a bloke rings me, starts off with the same story. Before he could go on, I asked him for his phone number. He snapped back with "Why the hell would you want that, Mother F#####." Pretty clear to me it was a scam.

Pretty much the same as others have said. Got a call from someone claiming to be a BT engineer saying my broadband will be cut off starting Saturday for a whole week. When I questioned it, the bloke got really rude and started swearing. I reported it to BT straight away and they confirmed it was a phishing scam. I've also added that number to my block list using BT Call Protect, which I’d suggest everyone use since it doesn’t cost anything.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be from BT, saying there was an issue with my internet. I figured it was dodgy straight away but decided to humour her. Asked her for my BT customer number and then she passed the phone to some bloke who said he was the chief engineer. When I told him I just use an iPad, he got proper annoyed and told me to "f*** off" before slamming down. Real pleasant geezer!

So this guy rings up saying he’s with some cyber crime unit and that my IP address is apparently being used by someone in Indonesia. He claimed he was working alongside Microsoft and asked if I’d had any contact from them. Then I asked where he was calling from, and he said Indonesia. At that point, I called him out and told him the only person who’s been contacting me about cyber crime is him, and maybe he’s the one running the scam.

Got a call from someone saying they were "David Marshall" at BT, warning that my internet was about to be disconnected due to viruses on my device. I requested the company’s official registration number, but all he gave me was a phone number. I didn’t buy it, so I ended the call and blocked the number straight away. Also, we don’t even use BT!

I just couldn’t believe the rudeness, especially thinking about what he might’ve said to my 85 year old mum. Definitely avoid this number, it’s not worth it.

This morning, I had a rather curious phone call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be representing BT. She mentioned that there were some necessary adjustments to my broadband connection for the sake of internet security. Given that I’d only recently experienced some issues with my phone and broadband, which OpenReach managed to sort out, I assumed this could be a follow-up. However, it quickly became clear that it was something altogether different. I decided to end the conversation.

Got a call at 11.22 today, some person telling me my BT line was going to be disconnected soon. I told them straight up they were talking rubbish and just ended the call. There really should be something done about these calls, especially since older or vulnerable folks might get confused or scared by them. I’m a pensioner, but I know how to handle this kinda nonsense!

A lady phoning from a supposedly BT line called 02492736461 to check my internet. I thought I’d have a bit of fun and asked her what exactly she’d do with my details. She rambled on without making much sense. When I asked for her name, she said "Christina Watson" from BT London. Weirdly, the number shows up as BT Rescue in London, but 024 is actually a Coventry area code. Eventually, I got fed up and ended the call. Later I saw loads of people sharing sketchy stories about this number online. Best to avoid it!

Got a phone call from some bloke with an Indian accent warning me that our phone and internet services were about to be disconnected in 3 weeks because there was some risk. He wouldn't explain anything else so I just ended the call. Our internet and phone have been fine, plus we've got several security measures on our devices, so this sounded dodgy. Checked this site and it confirmed it was probably a scam.

My phone showed this as an international call, so I didn’t pick up since I had already talked to them about 30 mins before. The missed call log showed 02492736461, which is actually a number from Coventry. They claimed to be from BT Openreach, saying someone was stealing my internet and that my service would be suspended soon. They also said an engineer would come out to install a free router. They kept quizzing me about my router details, which felt really suspicious, so I just ended the call. Be careful with calls like these!
