Suggested they were with BT, I'm not, they then said they represent everyone. They got my name back to front, a 15yr old address and then when i pressed them they said they were recording the call as proof that they'd given me advice and i was ignoring. Scamtastic

Accented lady purporting to be from BT with concern about access to my broadband. I hung up on her. It's a scam!
Indian guy, new my name and address, said he was calling to refund me £190 on my washing machine. Wanted my bank details. I told him to send me a cheque and told him he was a SCAMMER at which point he got abusive. Added to my BLOCKED list. Sooner OFCOM sort this out, the better it will be for UK residents who are being plagued by unwanted calls, scammers, con artists and the like.
Rang this morning. Nothing said so I hung up. Probable scam.
Called at 15.00 today. I always screen calls if it is a number i don't recognise. It went to answerphone, they hung up and didn't leave a message.
Silent
Phone rang, no-one on the other end when answered. This suggests an auto-dialler and therefore likely a scam.
Called me at 7.15am , line went dead when I answered it.
Called before 8am on a Saturday so rather uncivilised. Female with strong accent, probably Indian sub continent.
When I returned home yesterday, a message had been left on my phone to say that this number had tried to make contact. When I called back, a person with a very poor command of English appeared to be telling me that I need to press various buttons for further information. As this was an obvious scam, terminated the call immediately.
Claimed to be from VirginMedia blocked immediately.
Said they were from Openreach and that my broadband was slow. It's not, I know, I'm a computer whizz!
Hung up when I answered
No answer when I picked up.
Purported to be Virgin Media, wanted to assist in speeding my slow internet service, she was advised that an engineer was at their box on the opposite of the road, and I told her it would be handy for her to speak with him instead of me. She said she would be pleased to do so, but then the line went click.
