Scam/Fraud

Said they were from open reach and had detected fraudulent activity. I strung them along for a while playing along then said I needed to answer the door just put the phone on the side. They are paying for the call and eventually hung up after 6 mins waiting

Said they were from virgin media and that I had internet issues. I have no issues so told him I had Sky. He stuttered and then hung up. I have heard a lot about this type of call and know it’s a scam.

Claimed to be from Virgin Media stating problem with my internet. I asked who he wanted to speak to. He ignored my question and claimed there was a problem with my WiFi being shared. I repeatedly asked who they were calling to speak to until they hung up.

Caller did nt answer when I answered call. Eventually Asian sounding man started to tell me there was a problem with my internet. I asked who he was. He avoided question and repeated there was a problem with my internet. Again I asked who he was and who he worked for. Then he said he was from BT. He then started to ask what I used internet for. I said "why do you want to know?". He said it was about the fault. He went through a number of possible internet uses to which I asked why he wanted to know. Then he got onto Internet banking. I continued to ask the specific reason he wanted to know and to give me some proof of identity. He hung up.

Attempted to return missed call. Get a robotic voice stating an opt-out email address that I cannot make out. Puts me in a customer service waiting line and then tells me no one is available to take my call and disconnects.

Hung up on answer

Claimed to be from Carphone Warehouse, but I hung up almost straightaway. I managed to ring it back by accident as I was tapping on the number to block it, and heard a message in American accent calling the company “Callhouse” or something similar, and offering telemarketing opportunities. Clearly legit, then.

Hung up as soon as I answered
