Scam call from very heavily accented (possibly Indian) man telling me he was calling from BT as there is a problem with my router and broadband. I believe all all genuine calls from BT are displayed on caller display as coming from BT - When I told him I thought the call a scam he put the phone down - a genuine BT person would not do this

Phone rang twice. Answered 2nd time around. Heavily accented Indian voice. Sounded long distance (although Manchester based number). Took a while for the person to come onto the line, then they launched into the 'how you are this afternoon" bollocks before hanging up when I wouldn't engage. If you see this number come up. Just ignore.

Keep getting repeat calls - 3 already this morning. As soon as I answer they cut the call. I have already signed up to avoid nuisance calls, so don't know why they're still coming through.

As above.
Immediately aware was NOT from BT because of the calling number of display.
Called BT who confirmed the number is not a BT number and reviews like this one indicating that it is a scam/phish.
BT Security will be digging deeper into the matter.

Just phoned me regarding my router and broadband.
I asked him, who I think would be Indian to send me an email with my account number and how much my last bill was to prove he was from BT.
I knew from answering it wasn't BT.
This annoyed him so much he told me to f--- off!
I love these calls.
I have a name for these b-------,but I better not let anyone know what I call them!

Man with Indian accent called me three times today. Told me there was an issue with my broadband router as it was downloading unwanted material. He wanted me to switch on my computer . This is a scam. As it is a landline number BT and also the police authority dealing with internet fraud should take steps to investigate and charge these people.

Had 3 calls, first one at 2.50pm then every hour thereafter. Sounded Indian and said he was from BT. Asked how I was and then said they had received reports that our BT router had a problem that was causing our computer to be infected. He asked was I in front of the computer. I said "No" and he then asked if I had a laptop. I said "No" again and he hung up. 2nd call and I got the same spiel, and when I told him this was the 2nd time they had 'phoned today he said this would be the last time. When he then asked if I was in front of the computer I told him I had looked up the number on Google and this was a scam. He hung up. 3rd call, got the same spiel. This time it sounded as though someone was trying to make him laugh. When he got to the bit about being in front of the computer I laughed, told him it was a scam, said goodbye and told him to have a nice day. He was still talking away when I hung up.

Why and how do they get our numbers? I'm ex directory so don't understand why they keep ringing!!!
I went along with his instructions,acting as if I was on the computer,which I wasn't. Then once I acted dumb,I got angry and said I have contacted the police
Lo and behold the "gentleman " put the phone down
