Got a call from the same number three times, and I instantly figured it was a scam. Told them to shove off right away. Turns out, they were trying to get me to log onto my computer so they could sneak in. Just hung up on em!

Yesterday was a nightmare as I got about 15 calls from these numbers I already blocked. Seems like blocking them doesn’t even work!

Got a call saying it was BT, telling me my computer got hacked overnight. Needless to say, I didn't believe them.

These lot were total scams, kept pretending they were from BT. I told them straight up I wasn’t and firmly asked them to leave me alone.

I reckon they were up to no good, probably trying to get into my computer or something, and I swear they even showed me a bogus BT employee number!

They ring all the time saying they’re from BT, but when I say I’m not with BT, they quickly switch it up and say they deal with every internet company. Most times, I just mess about and keep the convo going to kill time, but as soon as they figure out I’m not falling for it, they just hang up!

Had a very similar thing happen to me - got a call from some Indian call centre claiming my internet was hacked. They asked me to enter stuff on my computer, so I just pretended to go along with it for a bit, then told them to get lost. Proper scammers. Don’t ever put in what they tell you to, I looked it up and it just lets them get control of your PC.

Got a couple of calls from this number today. Missed the first one but answered the second, and a woman claiming to be from BT said my internet had been hacked somewhere around midnight to early morning. It was obvious to me it was a scam so I ended the call straight away. I called BT afterwards and they said it was definitely a scam. I've already reported it to Action Fraud UK.
