Rang me and as usual I didn't pickup as number unknown. They tried talking to the answer machine using my name but I ignored.
Apparently from BT calling about hackers using my broadband. Got highly offended when I suggested that I couldn't know they were from BT. I hung up and they called again to call me a horrible horrible woman.
Silent call @12:12. Caller hung up when answering machine answered. Another scammer.
very persistant, rung back 5 times, the woman even shouted at me, then threatened to cut the connection to the internet. she claims she was from BT!
asia saying they were from BT. The know your surname if they talk. Best to hung up and block the call dont give them a chance to say anymore
