Just received a call from 01384981021, a lady with an Indian accent said she was calling from BT and my Internet line had been compromised. I let her waffle on until she then asked me to go online on a PC or mobile to confirm my Internet speed. If she was actually from BT them I'm sure they have the technology to tell me the speed. I told her to do one and put thr phone down. Complete scam, probably trying to get into my documents / file system or banking.

Man with foreign accent (Indian sounding), talking about BT internet connection and security. Asked me to go to my computer and switch it on. Put phone down.
Scammer
Got a call from this number this morning on our landline which is very rarely used nor the number given out. I picked up and there was silence then whoever it was hung up. We are registered with TPS so should not be receiving calls of this type!
Phone rang but was dead when I tried to answer it.
Indian lady, "Internet service provider". Got very abusive when I told her I did not believe she was who she said she was and that she wasn't getting into my pc to steal my details or money.
I had a call from this number saying that they were aware that my Internet speed was being interrupted? I put phone down immediately, lady spoke with foreign accent ,
