Scam phone calls

I am getting a lot of scam calls, up to 4 per day which say there is something wrong with my internet.
BT has a new scam reporting website.
https://bt.com/help/scams/
Though BT are not helping because you cannot copy the address from the task bar.

Thank you Nick For some reason I could not copy and paste it, and my copying skills are not very hot.
Lets hope they can do something about all the calls. They are now always a recorded message, I think they got fed up with being sworn at.

It seems the same scam is being used by email!
I received a bill for over £100 for my telephone bill and I don't use BT
I just deleted it right away!

Report nuisance/scam/spam to the ICO - Information Commissioner's Office.
https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/nuisance-calls-and-messages/
You will need to note the date and time of the call, a number it came from if available, and who they 'said' they were.
If they can they will take action against the perps.
Also say if you are with the TPS.
