If you don't recognise the number, don't answer the call!

@123kingarthur did they say they were going to cut off your broadband service.

It's becoming very difficult just to live a normal life these days

I've had the automated scam BT call on my home phone number, telling me that my broadband service has been cut off and I have to press 1 to get put through to a colleague to get re-connected. I just put the phone down. They so far haven't rang back.

Yeah I agree, @123kingarthur,

An English voice would of bin a dead giveaway to me too

Has happened a couple of times but ive had enough and I've just stopped answering the phone

Lol, the scammers are thick as thieves as I got one of these bt calls where my bt line will be cut off, and I'm with Virgin Media

Had one a few months ago

That happened last week at my mums, i picked the phone up, and it said bt broadband you services are being suspended in the next four hours. Well my mum is with the post office, i just put the phone down. Frightening as far as they will go to get your money and scam you.

@davidevans0000 David I had another one this morning and I rang BT and they said that it was another scam and they were going to stop that number as well as run a check

123kingarthur

@beautiful101 you are so right There seems to be one from them nearly every day I had one this morning as well

123kingarthur

@lemon444 that is new they have not said that to me but I had another this morning and BT said it was not from them again but they got the number of the system and bared it for me so If you ring BT 08001114567

they will realise that there are a number of people getting them and then they may do something about it

123kingarthur

@funnymarv The trouble is it could be a proper call for something important

123kingarthur

@wyvernred They must be making money out of it though

123kingarthur

@pettsey1 I fin d it quite upsetting and although bt are very nice I wish they would sort something out to stop them

123kingarthur

@goofygirl they are so nasty and unfeeling they would be upset if it happened to them

There seems to be a spate of these at the moment @123kingarthur. I got a call blocker a couple of months ago - all was quiet for a while as it has 2,000 numbers already blocked. Then I started getting the BT ones - the recorded voice ones that say they are going to cut your connection off. I usually let it go to answerphone, then press the 'block now' button and that's it. They ring back the next day on a different number, but as I can block up to 1500 more numbers, they've got a bit to go ! 🙂

I hope they stop bothering you - they probably will eventually, but I know it's annoying. I haven't had one for several days now, so hopefully they've given up with us ....

@123kingarthur

I just do not answer the call if I do not recognise the number. If it is really important and they are for real then they will leave me a message.

My partner likes to plat scam calls at their own game sometimes. He has a wicked sense of humour, lol

I’m with Virgin but it would be so easy for an elderly person to panic and hit the button, I just hope I don’t answer any of those calls.
