Re: BT scam call
I think I got a scam call last night. An automated voice said that I have won a choice of £300 in cash or tickets for 2 at an Elvis Presley tribute night.
It said press One for the money, Two for the show :-)

Re: BT scam call
I havent had any scam calls, but I did get a scam text from someone pretending to be HSBC, telling me my account had been "locked" and I needed to click a link to get it enabled again. Total failure : l dont have a smart phone so the link was useless, nor do I have an HSBC account.

Re: BT scam call
The best defence is an answer phone. I get lots of messages or cut offs which I can ignore.

Re: BT scam call
Still lots of Amazon calls, all from different numbers, non accurate - our Amazon costs more than their call suggests.

Ditto, mine directs "international" calls direct to the answerphone, and the rest after 4 rings.
If we dont recognise the number we leave it to the answer phone, they never leave messages !
(I have 18 new calls since I last cleared it, a few days ago)

Re: BT scam call
We have been targeted recently with the "this is your internet provider, we have been trying to contact you, you are going to be cut off.... press 1 for assistance ... " I report each number to ICO but I think they are spoofed numbers. I once pressed 1 by mistake and spoke to someone with an indian accent and said "I know you are a scammer, don't call back" and the reply was "go to hell", charming.
