Many who answered found them unresponsive or aggressive when challenged. Overall, it’s a cold call to be cautious of, with no clear purpose beyond probing for device or internet details.

5 yearsHad a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was with BT Openreach, telling me there was an issue with my internet and I needed to check my router. I told him I was in bed and couldn’t do that. Then he started asking how many mobile devices I had and what kind. I said I wasn’t sure. After that, he went quiet for a bit. I kept the call going and heard a voice say “you can hang up now,” so I said, “you called me, so you hang up.” It didn’t feel legit, definitely not BT - there was a lot of background noise like a big overseas call centre.BT Openreach5 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was Jeff from BT. He had a strong Asian accent and there was a lot of noise behind him. When I asked why he was ringing, all he did was say "how are you today" over and over. After I asked a few times what he actually wanted, he just hung up on me. Proper annoying!JeffBT5 yearsI've seen this number pop up a few times and I just usually hang up straight away.5 yearsGot a call from someone with a thick Indian accent who said they were from BT Openreach. They kept trying to get info about my internet and gadgets. When I asked them to send me the procedure details by email instead, they just hung up on me.
