8 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from BT Openreach, but it’s blatantly a scam. They pretended my telephone line had issues. What a load of nonsense!BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be shutting off our internet because of fraud, but as soon as I mentioned we didn’t have any gadgets connected, they just put the phone down. Total scam.8 yearsI usually just let the phone go to voicemail and only pick up if it's someone important. But this number has rung me like 20 times already! You'd imagine they'd have stopped bugging me by now.8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Openreach. She told me my router was breached or something. I asked her to give me the password instead, and then she just cut the call. Definitely a scam.Openreach8 yearsJust like the others, I hung up on them but they kept ringing me over and over. The bloke on the other end sounded really Asian and his English was barely understandable. Honestly, I’d avoid picking up if this number shows on your phone.8 yearsGot a call from 01162477402 claiming to be BT Open Reach. When I told them they weren’t, the person started saying “you must be joking” again and again - so I just hung up. The voice sounded Asian to me. I reckon it was a scam. Also, I had a call from another 0116 number yesterday that was silent for nearly a minute before they ended the call - think it might be some kind of bot seeing if the line’s live.BT8 yearsI've had scam calls twice today from people pretending to be from BT. Honestly, BT should really start looking into this themselves since they run the phone lines. It's getting quite annoying.B. TB. T.8 yearsI got a call from this number about 5 minutes back but no one picked up. Then when I tried ringing it again, the operator said the number doesn't exist. Has anyone else had this happen? It’s really strange!8 yearsThis number rang me three times today, all trying the same scam trick as others have mentioned. The earliest call was pretty early, around 7.30am. Over the past three days I've gotten about 10 calls from five different numbers, all using the exact same scam. It's getting really frustrating now.8 yearsGot a call again today, thought it might be important so I picked up. Like other folks mentioned, it was a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Openreach BT. My missus told her that her husband handles the internet stuff, not her, then the call just got cut off. If it was legit, you'd think they'd say something before hanging up, wouldn't you?OpenreachBT8 yearsIt keeps calling over and over but when I dont pick up the answerphone just comes on and then the caller just hangs up. So frustrating!8 yearsThey said they were from Openreach and even gave me some kind of reference number. I also got a few recorded messages from them. Bit suspicious if you ask me.8 yearsJust like others have said, I got a call supposedly from BT Openreach, which isn't even my provider. They claimed someone was illegally using my router by cloning it or sharing the password, with lots of users connected through VPN or something. They said they'd disconnect me if I didn't follow instructions on my computer. I told them flat out I wasn’t gonna do anything for some random caller and asked them to send me a proper letter on official letterhead. Of course, they hung up straight away. Pretty obvious scam or phishing attempt.BT Openreach8 yearsThey claimed to be from 'BT Openreach'. I've blocked their number using BT's new system by calling 14258 and hitting the star button two times. Fingers crossed this sorts it out.BT8 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, some person claimed to be from BT and warned me that my IP address would get suspended or something. I didn’t even bother and just hung up straight away. The accent sounded Asian to me. Watch out, folks!BT8 yearsAnother bloody annoying nuisance calling again.8 yearsThis number's called me three times over the past few days. Each time it’s been some Asian bloke saying he's with BT Openreach, threatening to disconnect my internet. I tried calling back but they blocked me, just gets a ring and no answer. Got really nasty when I asked questions, then they hung up on me.BT8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're BT Openreach, said my internet had been compromised recently, like within the last hour or so.BT Openreach8 yearsI’ve been getting quite a few calls this week, but whenever I pick up they just hang up straight away.8 yearsGot a call with no sound on the other end, really strange.8 yearsNo response after I answered with a "Hello" - they just hung up. I'm guessing it was some kind of spam call since I don't have any links to Leicester.LeicesterSubmit Your Own Report (0116 247 7402)
