Phone number ☎️ 001796986616 👆 is reported as a persistent scam, often claiming to be from BT and warning about internet disconnection. The calls are usually automated, featuring an Indian-accented voice or recorded message urging you to press a number, then often hanging up if answered. Many users note the number is actually US-based despite claims of being from India. Frequent calls start with international prefixes and can come multiple times a day, with no voicemail left. Callers appear to hang up quickly, suggesting fraudulent intent. Some believe customer data may have been leaked after BT closed call centres and complain BT does little to address the issue. Users find phone blockers helpful, especially those allowing blocking of number ranges.

8 yearstoday i noticed my phone showed two missed calls from this number. I have it set to block any calls unless they identify themselves first, so since these didn't, it’s pretty clear to me this isn’t a genuine caller. honestly, having call blocking on my phone is brilliant - stops all those annoying calls and totally worth every bit of money i spent on it.8 yearsI’ve been getting loads of calls like this. They keep telling me my BT internet’s about to get disconnected and to press 1 to speak to someone or 2 to hang up. Before these, I had three mystery calls from abroad with no number showing − didn’t pick up on any of them.8 yearsAnswered the phone and they just dropped the call, so I'm guessing it's a scam.8 yearsgot a call from a 00 number again today but no voicemail was left, second one now!8 yearsGot a robocall today warning my internet would be cut off soon. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!8 yearsGot a call from 001796986616 with the usual recorded Indian accent saying it’s BT and that my internet would be disconnected if I don’t hit 2 straight away - total scam just pretending to be from India but looks like it’s actually from the States.BTIndiaStates8 yearsDon’t be fooled, this isn’t really an Indian number! It’s actually from the US, which you can see if you look at the top of this page. Still, these callers are definitely scammers. My call blocking app lets me block individual numbers or whole ranges. For example, I got two calls yesterday: this one and 001283577557. Since I block any number starting with 00, both got dropped straight away. If you’ve got a phone blocker, it’s worth seeing if it can block part of a number - loads of BT and Panasonic devices can do this nowadays.StatesPanasonic8 yearsThe phone kept ringing and then dropped the call as soon as I answered, looks like some kind of scam to me.8 yearsthis number calls alot. It's some automated thing about internet or something. It tells you to press 1 but obviously it's a scam. Avoid it!8 yearsGot a call at 6.39pm from someone saying they were from BT, but I reckon it was dodgy. Why do calls from India never show up as their own country code? It's a bit suspicious if you ask me.BTIndia8 yearsThis morning and also around 8am yesterday I got a call from 0017969866. It just rings a couple times then stops, no voicemail or any sound at all. Really hope they dont keep doing this every morning!8 yearsGot a robocall pretending to be BT saying my internet was gonna be cut off today. Total scam, don't fall for it.BT8 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop. They say they're from BT, but there's no way that's true. It’s always a recorded voice saying to press 1. Sounds dodgy if you ask me. I bet it costs a fortune to call back. Why don't the phone companies block this stuff when we pay them for the line rental? Makes no sense really.BT8 yearsI let it ring through the answerphone, but they just hung up straight away. Not much of an entertaining call, just another one of those four calls I’ve had today!8 yearsGot a call from someone with an international number, sounded like an Indian accent. They said they were from “BT internet” and claimed they'd shut off my BT internet, which is funny coz I don’t even have BT internet to begin with. Proper dodgy!BTSubmit Your Own Report (796986616)
