01406 436966. Called today at 0910. Claimed to be from BT Internet as they suspected it was being used illegally. We do not have BT Internet. Our phone number is ex-directory and on TPS but we STILL get these annoying calls

had the same call this morning re £119 refund due on overpayment for washing machine, told them to put in writing but we kept going round in circles then passed me on to 2 managers again trying to get my bank account number and again going round in circles. I knew this was a scam but thought I'd waste their time like they were wasting mine!!

We never get calls on the landline so heart sinks whenever I hear it ring as usually it’s a scammer. This morning we got a call from 02034703216 from a man with an accent similar a local Indian accent. He claimed to be from Virgin Media and asked the usual questions which I’m now totally familiar with e.g. high traffic, how’s your WiFi, check how many lights flashing on the router? WTF?! Have you ever shared your WiFi password, there’s unusual activity etc. Total nonsense but I kept it going to waste his time. Then I told him he’s a fraud and not to call me again and I hung up. 30 seconds later he called me again on another number 01406436966 to interrogate me and asked why I said that! I just hung up again.

Built-in screening on house phone handset, so you have to say who you are and then wait to be connected, so whoever it was, hung up. Blocked the number on the handset from calling me again. As dialling the number from my mobile phone, it's coming up as a 'Spam, potential fraud' alert and the number is actually invalid. So, whoever is calling from this number is upto no good.

Lady with Asian accent called saying she was from BT and I had serious problems with my BT line ( I’m not even with BT) and she would help fix it for me. When I told her I thought she was from a scamming company and to never call me again, she said she would call every day to annoy me and that the police will never be able to catch her. My phone company confirmed it was a scammer. Not sure I need this hassle at the age of 89 and now in future probably would be best for me to hang up straight away.

Indian caller from ‘Virgin Media’. As a customer of VM for over 15 years there was as much likelihood of this being a real call as me being a hat stand. May the directors & staff of Gamma Telecom Holdings (the call originator) be permanently plagued by a perpetual case of treatment resistant haemorrhoids.

someone saying I was due a refund of £119.60 on the warranty of my washing machine. I told them this was the 4th refund o it this week so I was going to get a new one with all the money and they could ring me about that warranty as well. I hung up and then had them ring me a further 6 times with them calling me a crazy lady just because I told them I was going to report them for harassment and that I had no business answering the call when it was my partner who they wanted to speak to

Wanted to refund £119 on a washing machine warranty. Asked for the account details to pay into. Told her to use the same account that I had paid from. Said she was the refund department - so I said speak to your collections unit. She said it was a d/d and the information had been deleted. I questioned how they would collect the next premium due. We went round in circles so I asked which town she was calling from - Central London - so I queried why a London phone number was not being used, knowing it was a Holbeach number. She hung up. Obvious scam - there is no warranty anyway, but just wasted her time

Lady with a strong Asian accent called me from what was obviously a call centre due to noisy background. She said she was from Amazon. She asked me if I’d purchased a gift card for £99. I realised that this must be a scam as Amazon usually send a message or email. I am assuming that she would have wanted bank details ect…….I said goodbye and hung up.
