7 yearsThis number has called me a few times today, saying my IP address is at risk and that my internet will get disconnected in a day unless I press 1 to speak to a technician. One of those calls even came from an 0116 area code, but the message was exactly the same. Pretty sure it’s just a scam trying to scare people.7 yearsI got a call from 01179655962 claiming it was 111, then told me to press 9 for a callback. Seems like a total scam to me.97 yearsGot a call from 01179655962 supposedly from BT Openreach saying my internet's been hacked and'll be cut off in 24 hours. It was one of those automated messages, no real person. This is the third call today and it keeps asking me to press 1 to keep the service running. Don’t press anything, could be a premium rate scam or something dodgy. Be careful!BT Openreach7 yearsI received a couple of calls, one about 12:30 and another near 1:30, both were those dodgy BT scam calls. I ended up reporting the number on the Action Fraud site.
