Phone number ☎️ 00568745926 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number impersonating BT, frequently calling to claim there are issues with internet or computer security.

The scam involves attempts to install viruses, then charging for bogus "fixes," risking personal and financial data theft. Victims warn others not to interact or follow instructions given by these callers. The issue is widespread, causing frustration and concern especially among vulnerable groups, with calls often timed to catch people off guard.
Reports on phone number 00568745926
10 yearsThey've phoned me 3 times over the past two days. I've started using caller ID and then just hanging up straight away without saying anything. Seems to confuse their auto-diallers into believing they didn’t get through to an active number. Proper scammers, honestly.10 yearsLast night, my folks received a call from this number. They were rather tight-lipped about the details, but I suspect they may have downloaded something called Join Me? Not entirely certain if that was the intended goal or not, but I sincerely hope it wasn't. As they're in their late sixties and still getting the hang of their iPad, I can't help but worry that they might have fallen for a dodgy ploy. Fingers crossed they didn’t unwittingly download something malicious and that their iPad remains unscathed. Honestly, it’s quite appalling what these scammers are up to!10 yearsGot a call from this number saying they were from BT, saying there was an issue with my internet. Funny thing is, I'd actually been on the phone with BT the previous day about my internet problems. They were supposed to call me back between 9 and 10 this morning but never did. Then this call came through at 10.01 - makes me wonder if they’re somehow eavesdropping on BT or if it was just coincidence. I doubt it’s chance. They even knew my account number, but when I asked for my address, they couldn’t answer and hung up straight away. BT really needs to look into this.BT10 yearsGot a call from 00568745926 but it was just dead silence on the other end. Weird.10 yearsGot a call from some bloke who said he was with BT Internet, telling me my internet wasn’t safe. When he began quizzing me about my computer, I told him to get in touch by letter instead. Later, I looked the number up online and turns out it’s a scam.10 yearsA couple of months back, I got a call on this number from some place in Chile, and they’re at it again now. They say they're from BT and there’s an issue with my broadband. I told them straight up that it sounded dodgy and they were just after my cash. Then this really polite chap, clearly not local, slipped in and said he loved me! Can you believe it? Guess I’m quite the charmed one!ChileBT10 yearsI've found myself entangled in a bit of a kerfuffle with BT, which is precisely why I was taken in by a call from this number earlier today. I’ve been eagerly anticipating a call back from them since yesterday, particularly since I've just moved and currently have no internet access. The warning signs were there, though - they didn’t use my name and didn’t even ascertain whether I was the account holder (I'm not). They went on about some ‘hackers’ supposedly trying to breach my IP, despite me clearly saying I have no internet whatsoever. Don't be misled by the supposed ‘supervisor’ who might try to take the reins of the conversation! For goodness' sake, avoid your computer at all costs! These chancers could easily install a nasty virus and then demand a small fortune to clear it up, all while keeping hold of your personal data. Stay vigilant!BT10 yearsFeels like I've hit the jackpot - got two calls from them already. I’m on the TPS list, but that clearly doesn’t matter since they’re not based in the UK and the rules don’t seem to apply to overseas cold calls. It's just not right. Really hoping they don’t get away with it.Telephone Preference ServiceUK10 yearsSome bloke called saying my PC was full of viruses and he could fix it for a fee. I played along for a while as he attempted to get me to transfer a bit of money from my bank. Then I told him I wasn’t comfortable and that I was ringing the cops on my phone. After a few not-so-polite words from me, he snapped and ended the call.10 yearsI've rung them a couple of times but all I get is quiet on the other end.10 yearsI get calls nearly every other day. I keep saying I don’t own a computer or that a BT engineer’s arrived, or sometimes I just say they’re ringing a police station and then I hang up. It worries me that they might have my account info. Bit sketchy how BT doesn’t seem too bothered about sorting it properly, like they’ve got problems with handling data or something.BT10 yearsSo annoying, first there’s no one there, then silence, then suddenly a quick ‘goodbye’. I’m just going to hang on until someone actually answers so I can let out all my frustrations.10 yearsI've encountered similar shenanigans involving chaps claiming to be from BT, like David and John Roger. These blokes will have your account number down pat and, the moment you raise any doubts, they’re quick to transfer you to their so-called 'supervisor'. It's all a ruse. They’ll urge you to share your screen or input certain commands on your computer-steer clear of that nonsense! Don’t hesitate to waste their time as long as you can; they're a right bunch of scoundrels!BTDavidJohn Roger10 yearsThey're definitely up to no good! These con artists will pretend to represent BT and will attempt to trick you into giving them access to your computer. Whatever you do, don't fall for it! If you can, string them along and keep them occupied for as long as you can. What a bunch of numpties!BT10 yearsI let my answerphone pick up all calls, then I use this site to look up any strange numbers. After seeing what others said, I put one number in my contacts, marked it as spam, and gave it a unique ringtone. That way, when this tone plays, I don’t pick up and they don’t get to leave a message. It ends up wasting their time and money. Hopefully, this trick helps anyone else struggling with annoying calls like mine.10 yearsThis time the call just cut out, but I've had a few scam calls from that number before.10 yearsSaid they were from BT but it’s a total rip-off, be careful.BT10 yearsI’ve got one of those BT Call Blocker phones and have blacklisted this number already. It’s mad how many times they keep trying even when the message clearly says ‘THIS NUMBER IS BLOCKED, PLEASE REPLACE THE HANDSET.’ Luckily, I keep an old corded phone for power outages, and if it stops ringing after just a couple of rings, I know it’s a scam call. Never ever share any personal details - just hang up straight away. This number is seriously annoying and could be harmful.10 yearsHad three calls from someone saying they were from BT earlier. I pretended to listen through the first while actually watching the telly. I then called BT myself, but they didn’t seem too concerned about it. Honestly, just don’t follow any instructions they give you.BT10 yearsHow come BT and the government in the UK are doing nothing about these scammers calling us? Feels like they might be making some dosh from these con artists or something. It’s about time we had proper protection against these awful folks trying to take advantage of us.BTUK10 yearsSomebody just rang me pretending to be from BT, saying there was an issue with my broadband. I pretended to be interested for a bit, then asked them which team they were part of and for their BT ID. I told them I actually work as a BT engineer myself, and straight away they ended the call. Don’t trust these calls, BT would never contact you like that or ask you to do stuff over the phone.BT10 yearsGot a call with no one speaking on the other end. Really annoying!10 yearsReceived a call with no one on the other end-such a lack of basic politeness to even say hello!10 yearsBeen getting calls multiple times daily for weeks now, with different voices saying they’re from Microsoft, BT, or Talk Talk, all saying my Windows computer has issues. Problem is, I don’t even have a Windows machine! Then they said someone’s sneaking into my wifi and doing dodgy stuff. I told them to give their info so I could have the police get in touch about any crimes. They just hung up on me. The last call, when I said I wasn’t interested, they started being rude and shouting. Really top-notch sales technique, eh?BTMicrosoftTalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Bob at BT saying my internet was gonna be cut off for like 15 days if I didn’t hop on their site within the next day to book a visit to check the connection at home. Nah, I’m good Bob, cheers anyway.BobBT10 yearsThis bloke said his name was Peter John and reckoned he worked for BT. I told him straight up, “You’re not with BT and this call’s coming all the way from Swaziland or somewhere in Africa.” I’m getting it checked out now. Then I asked for his number, which he gave as 0203188188. I told him I’d ring back. He threatened, “If you don’t talk to me, I'll have your phone cut off.” I just said, “Go ahead, see if I care.”Peter JohnBTSwazilandAfrica10 yearsI received a rather dodgy call this morning purporting to be from BT, alleging that my computer had been compromised by hackers. It's nothing but a scam! They attempt to lure you into visiting a dodgy website to download some malware, then they’ll pretend they can help remove it but only after charging you an extortionate fee while barging into your bank details! Quite perilous, if you ask me. Genuine BT suggests keeping your cool and simply hanging up without giving these charlatans the reaction they crave.BT10 yearsI kept getting calls where no one even said anything. It’s so annoying! Wish there was a way to block these numbers for good.10 yearsThis morning I received a rather alarming call from this number, wherein I was informed that my broadband service would be disconnected the following day. Naturally, I inquired into the reasons for such an action, but the fella on the other end failed to provide any clarity; instead, he sternly insisted that I boot up my computer so he could "resolve" the issue. When I declined his rather pushy requests, he became rather hostile, prompting me to hang up rather swiftly. Trying to get in touch with BT regarding this incident proved futile, as there's a lengthy 20-minute wait to speak to someone! It’s patently clear this was a scam, and given the accent of the gentleman I spoke with, it seemed likely he was calling from somewhere in the Indian subcontinent. Who really knows, though?BT10 yearsGot a call from this number but no one spoke, just an annoying silent ring. I’d say best to just block and forget about it.10 yearsThis morning I got a call from this number and the bloke on the line, called Peter, said he was ringing from BT. He told me he needed to get onto my computer to sort out an issue with the internet router. Sounds just like a common scam to me, trying to get hold of your personal info. Definitely didn’t fall for it.PeterBT10 yearsI've received several phone calls from this number based in Chile, and the caller claimed to be representing BT. They mentioned that my IP address was on the verge of expiring and offered to assist me in resolving the issue, but only if I granted them access to my computer. Please be warned, this is nothing short of a scam! Whatever you do, do not allow these individuals access to your device. They could easily pilfer your personal information or even use your PC to launch attacks on other systems. Stay vigilant and protect your tech!ChileBT10 yearsI keep receiving calls from this Chilean number, and the individual on the line claimed to represent BT, warning me that my IP address was nearing expiration. They wanted me to grant them access to my computer to resolve the so-called issue. Be warned, this is a scam! Never allow them to access your device; they could potentially swipe all your personal data or even hijack your computer to target others. Stay vigilant!10 yearsGot a call from this number just yesterday. The bloke said he was from BT, but I told him right away we’re not their customers. I also mentioned we don’t have internet at all. He just said “What?” and then abruptly ended the call! Next time I might just keep them waiting while I turn the telly on and say “Alright, screen’s on!” Seriously, why aren’t the internet companies doing more to stop these annoying calls?BT10 yearsLoads of calls came through from this Chilean number. The caller claimed to be from BT and said my IP address was about to run out. They asked if I could grant them access to my computer to sort it out. BE WARNED, THIS IS A SCAM - NEVER LET THEM INTO YOUR COMPUTER, THEY’RE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR DATA or use your machine to hack into others.BT10 yearsThey keep ringing me up like every 45 mins and it’s really starting to get on my nerves.10 yearsI've received a dubious call purporting to be from BT, where the caller insisted there was an issue with my router. Alarmingly, they had my phone number and BT account number in their possession, however, they didn't seem to know my name or address. The chap had a thick foreign accent-likely Indian-claiming his name was David Jones. He rang from the number 0203 129 2226, which is apparently linked to a bunch of scammers. There's chatter online suggesting that this number might even trace back to Chile. Quite the dodgy business!BTDavid JonesChile10 yearsMy in-laws keep getting calls from these people saying there’s something wrong with their PC. It’s like they won’t stop ringing them up. Proper annoying!10 yearsSome bloke said he was with Talk Talk, telling me I'd get cut off cos my computer was sending dodgy packets or something. I just pretended to be interested while I made my tea. Then he asked if I was messing about. I made sure he knew I was taking the piss.Talk Talk10 yearsFor the past week, I've been getting calls from this number about three times every day. I haven't picked up once.10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT. I asked them to verify my address, but they couldn’t. Strangely though, they knew my BT account number? Then they said something weird about travel and sex before suddenly hanging up on me. Bit odd if you ask me.BT10 yearsGot a call earlier saying my laptop was picking up a virus every time I opened my emails. The way the bloke spoke English was so dodgy it was obvious he wasn’t legit. When I said he wasn’t actually from BT, he kept pushing that he was, so I kept arguing back. Then he just cut the call. Pretty funny really, though I can see how others might get worried about it.BT10 yearsSo I got a call from someone saying they were with BT. Since I’ve already got a complaint open with them, I thought I’d hear them out. It wasn’t long before they started banging on about hacking threats, and that’s when I just knew it was dodgy. I cut the call straight away.BT10 yearsGot a call earlier claiming to be from BT, threatening to disconnect me if I didn’t pay a big sum. Honestly, someone needs to get this scam sorted before more folks fall for it.BT10 yearsNo clue really but like those scam calls from abroad, they just want your cash. Best thing is just hang up or pick up and stay quiet for a bit. That way they waste their time and maybe even their money.10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today but I didn't pick up. They didn't leave a voicemail either. The caller ID showed 1471 before the number. After reading the reviews here, I’m not planning to ring back.10 yearsGot a call from a PC scammer a couple days back, and today they've called me three times. When I finally answered, all I heard was them saying goodbye and then hanging up. Honestly, they should be tracked down and dealt with properly. Such a waste of time! Goodbye.10 yearsReceived a nuisance call with no voicemail left. Quite irritating, really.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up claiming to be from BT, really annoying. Also, there’s a few other calls popping up saying similar things but show as Number Unavailable. Quite fishy if you ask me!BT10 yearsThis scammer keeps calling me daily saying my computer’s been hacked. I’m sick of it and now just tell them to shove off. What’s BT doing about sorting this mess?10 yearsGot a call from a number that looked like it was from Chile, but the person said they were from BT and said our internet might have been hacked. They even knew our BT account number and tried to convince me to switch on my computer, but I refused. When I told them I thought it was a scam, they kept pushing, so I just ended the call. This kind of thing seems really risky because it sounds believable if you’re not careful.BTChile10 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number repeatedly, but they never pick up when I try to answer. Apparently, it's linked to Chile. Quite puzzling, isn't it?ChileSubmit Your Own Report (8745926)
