8 yearsI just finished speaking to someone from that company, and it was such a drawn-out process. They made me open up the event viewer on my laptop, then started quizzing me about the error messages and how many were showing up. Then he goes, "oh my, that's quite a few warnings," blaming it for my slow internet. After a bit of listening, I told him I was aware those warnings were completely standard and thanked him for the entertaining bedtime tale. He kept ringing back and seemed quite annoyed.8 yearsGot a few calls from a number, picked up just once. The guy had an Indian accent and I could hardly catch what he was saying. I hung up straight away and then the phone rang again right after, I didn’t pick up that time. Then a couple days later, they called once more but it went straight to my voicemail. They said they were from BT Openreach and were supposed to be sorting out my broadband speed or something. Felt a bit dodgy to me.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a few rings from this number saying they were from BT Openreach about my internet. Pretty clear it’s a scam. What really winds me up is that the authorities don’t seem to be doing enough to shut these scammers down, especially when they’re using a proper UK number.BTUK8 yearsToday I got a call from someone claiming to be from BT Open Reach, but I knew right away it was a scam. I decided to play along just to see what they'd ask next. They managed to convince me to open my run box and enter some commands, claiming it showed errors on my computer, which, lets be honest, every PC has error logs anyway. Then they wanted me to type something like [#]hub03.weebly[###] in the run box, saying it would open a port on my PC. That was the moment I laughed and told them to get lost.BT Openreach8 yearsMy work got a call from someone saying they were from BT Openreach, but they ended up hurling racial insults at my team. I've sent a message to Openreach to check if this is legit. If anyone wants, I have the recording of the call as proof.BT OpenreachOpenreach8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying my internet was being used abroad without my permission. She seemed very confident and threw around terms like IP address and other technical jargon. Then she tried to get me to use my computer while on the phone. When I asked her for a contact number to return the call, she got all defensive and ended the call straight away! I looked up the number afterwards and it was untraceable, plus I saw loads of people had checked it before. Honestly, don’t trust a word they say - they’re just trying to get into your PC.8 yearsSome person from Asia was trying to get into my computer. I immediately figured it was a scam and just ended the call, then blocked the number with my BT junk filter. Despite being ex-directory, I keep getting calls from various other numbers they’re using.

Bit cheeky if you ask me!BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be from BT Openreach, said something was wrong with my modem.

They had me open Event Viewer and then asked me to connect to some remote PC and download an exe file. The lady I spoke to had a pretty heavy accent and wasn’t very clear, then she handed me over to a bloke who said he’d help clear event logs and fix other issues. I told him he was trying to scam me, and quite badly too, before hanging up. After that, I disconnected my router and refreshed my IP just to be on the safe side.8 yearsGot a bunch of calls from someone saying they were BT Openreach.
