Got a call from someone in India saying they were from Sky, saying my broadband was being used without permission. They wanted me to log into my computer to 'check' a few things. I told them to ring me on my mobile since I wasn’t near my PC, guess what, never got a call back.

The number seemed off so I chose to ignore it. It’s now blocked on my phone. I’m on the telephone preference service, so why did this call get past?

Some bloke rang up pretending to be from BT, going on about my internet getting hacked and hackers doing all sorts of dodgy stuff on my account. His English was pretty shabby, not the kind of talk you'd expect from a proper company! He wanted me to log in to my internet, but there’s no way I fell for that.

Got a call from an Asian lady at 09:10 this morning, she started with the whole BT spiel, trying to get into my account and all that rubbish. I cut her off by joking, "Ahh, must be the 'Blizzard from the North', cheers then." Then I quickly blocked the number.

Got a missed call from this number earlier. Seriously, shouldn’t these annoying spam calls be blocked by phone companies pretty much straight after the first complaint? Why isn’t that happening?

So this loudly talking Asian bloke, going by the name Peter Parker (yep, like Spiderman), rang me from some BT number. He said my internet was being hacked and told me to switch on my laptop and share some info with him. I was like, alright then, and just hung up. But then he called me back FIVE times from the same number afterwards! Proper annoying!

Just like the others have said, got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from ‘BT’ about our internet. I told him we don’t use BT and he shouldn’t be ringing us. A few hours later he called back, but I didn’t pick up.

Got a call today from this number. Some bloke with an Indian accent said he was from BT and apologised, saying they were about to disconnect my landline. He asked if I'd heard about it.

I figured it was dodgy and ended the call. Tried to block the number through my 1572 service, but it didnt seem to know that number at all.

I set my answer machine to pick up after about four rings and it usually makes them stop. I don’t usually say anything, just let a recorded voice tell them goodbye. It’s pretty annoying though as they still keep ringing me back.

Avoid answering those 0405 international numbers, they keep trying to get you to switch on your PC, even if you say you don't own one, absolute morons with a big I.

I got two calls today from 04045. A bloke with an Indian accent said he was from BT and wanted to talk about my internet. I ended the call straight away the first time and didn’t pick up the second. Really grateful for caller ID these days.

Said he was calling from BT. I shot back with a bit of verse, “The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.” Then he asked, “Do you have a computer?” So I went on, “The lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea.” He repeats, “Do you have a computer?” After about five lines, he sounded annoyed. When I began, “And all the world a solemn stillness holds,” he hung up. Felt pretty good. Blocked now.

Totally a scam, someone rang saying they were from BT and that my internet was hacked. I humoured them for a bit before I lost interest. They wanted me to sign in to some website, which I didn’t do. They’ve called me back a couple of times, really won’t give up.

This morning at about half past nine, a lady with an Indian accent rang me up, telling me to switch on my computer because there was some issue with my internet and apparently hackers were trying to get in. I wasn’t having any of it and told her I wasn’t interested, but she kept on going. I’m really glad I ended the call though, especially after reading all the other comments here.

Weird number so I ignored it. After reading these reviews, I’m gonna block it for sure.

Got a call from some bloke, sounded Indian or something close, usual spiel about TeamViewer to do who knows what. I played along for a bit and then called him out as a scammer. That's when he started going mental, threatening to do all sorts to me and claiming he was from BT. All I caught from his number was 04045 last time, but a week ago it was 0121098766 or something like that. Total mugging off.

Some bloke named George, who said he was from BT tech support, called me but his English was so bad I could barely get what he was saying. I told him BT wouldn’t hire someone with such poor language skills. Then he passed me to some supervisor called Jack. Jack went on about strange activity on my broadband and claimed hackers had taken control and would cause chaos. I told him I wasn’t bothered and snapped back that if anything bad happened, it’d be on me. Then I just ended the call.

Got a call at 7.55 on Monday 12th Feb, and again on Wednesday 14th at 09.35. Picked up the first call and some bloke with an Indian accent said he was from BT, saying there was an issue with my internet. He asked me to switch on my computer, but I told him it was way too early to be calling and that he was being very rude. I said I'd ring BT myself since it sounded like a scam. Then he just hung up on me!

I picked up and some guy with a thick Indian accent and awful English said he was calling about my internet with Fox. I told him I don’t have internet at all, and he just kept saying I must have because Fox sends bills every month. I’m actually with Sky for internet. It all sounded really fishy so I said again I don’t have internet, then he just ended the call.

Does anyone know if phone companies are doing anything to tackle this problem? It seems like no matter what, these calls keep popping up. I'd like to see them step up and actually do something about it.

Classic BT scam call this one. The number they give you isn’t real.
They say stuff like ‘We’ve had alerts... your computer's at risk’ and all that nonsense, telling you to switch it on.
If you go along with it, they’ll plant malware on your system. Honestly, telling them off loudly is probably the best way to deal with these muppets.

I received a rather suspicious call purporting to be from BT, claiming there was an issue with my internet connection and threatening to cut off my service. Naturally, I didn't engage with them and promptly terminated the call without sharing any personal information. Following that, I reached out to BT directly, and they informed me that the number 04045 is indeed linked to fraudulent activity. I strongly advise against divulging any personal details to these callers or returning their calls. Stay safe!
