Phone number ☎️ 01217791733 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number associated with scam callers impersonating BT or Openreach representatives. Callers, often with South Asian accents, typically claim issues with internet speed or security and request access to computers via remote software. Many report being asked to install programs like TeamViewer or AnyDesk, indicating potential attempts to install malware. The calls frequently involve intimidation, abusive language, and abrupt hang-ups when challenged. Multiple incidents of silent calls or no voicemail messages have been noted. Attempts to return calls are unsuccessful due to unrecognised numbers. The consensus strongly advises ignoring these calls, never providing remote access or personal information, and blocking the number to avoid distress. BT has been reported as unable to directly prevent these scam calls.

4 yearsYesterday, I received a rather suspicious phone call from someone purporting to be a technician from BT. He insisted that in order to resolve an issue I supposedly had, I must grant him access to my computer. He claimed my digital security had been breached and that he was there to assist me. I quickly realised this was a scam; the number he called from is definitely not associated with BT.BT7 yearsSome lady calling from India claimed to be from BT about my internet not working. I just said thanks and she suddenly ended the call. Thing is, I don’t even have BT!BT7 yearsI got a call twice from someone saying they were with BT Openreach. Definitely a scam, but still pretty irritating.7 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be from India, asking me to download [#]anydesk[###]. Told him straight I wasn’t about to let some dodgy software on my laptop and he ended the call sharpish. Then the same guy tried again a few days later, but from another number. Plus, loads of silent calls have been coming through recently. Seriously, can’t someone do something about these nuisance calls? Looking at you, BT!7 yearsThey called a couple of times but I have my phone set to block unknown numbers so they couldnt get through.7 yearsGot a call from this bloke named Steve, sounded like he had an Indian accent. I told him I was Ranjeed from Mumbai, speaking in my proper northern tone. He ended up just hanging up on me.SteveRanjeedMumbai7 yearsGot a call from this number, but it just quickly hung up on me. When I tried calling back, it said the number wasn't recognised. Honestly, why can't BT do something about these scammers? After all, it's their system we're dealing with!BT7 yearsThey wanted me to install "teamviewer" but I ended the call right after.7 yearsThere was nobody on the line when I picked up. I’ll be sure to block this number moving forward - caller: Unknown.7 yearsI received a phone call from a chap speaking with an Indian accent who asserted that he was representing BT regarding my internet service. The caller ID, when I checked it via 1471, displayed a number from Birmingham, yet I suspect that the call really came from somewhere in Asia. It seems these fraudsters have cleverly managed to disguise their true location by connecting through a UK number. It's undoubtedly a scam, so my recommendation is to simply hang up and refrain from using that line for a good ten minutes or so. - Caller: UnknownBTBirminghamAsiaUK7 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from BT Openreach, saying my internet was slow and she could fix it. She kept questioning me about my router, but when I asked her what exactly a router was, she got annoyed and hung up on me. Is it just me, or does everyone else know what a router actually is?BT Openreach7 yearsThis number keeps calling me a couple times every day, but I never pick up. They also never leave any voicemail or message.

The line was really scratchy, and the person on the other end spoke with an Asian accent. I had to ask her to repeat what she said a few times. She claimed she was ringing from BT regarding our broadband, which was clearly not true. I told her we’re on the Telephone Preference Service list and that her call was against the rules. She immediately hung up.BTTelephone Preference Service7 yearsI received a call on the 28th of August 2019 around half past eleven in the morning. The line was dreadful, and the person on the other end had an Asian accent, making it quite difficult to understand her. I had to request that she repeat herself a few times. She claimed to be calling from BT regarding our broadband service-clearly a load of nonsense. I informed her that we were on the Telephone Preference Service register (which is accurate), and that her call was therefore unlawful. At that point, she just hung up.BT7 yearsI got a call from a woman with a strong Chinese accent who said she was calling on behalf of BT - sounded like a scam to me.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to actually stop them?SandraBT7 yearsI didn’t pick up and they never bothered to leave any kind of message.

They told me to hit the Windows key plus R so they could 'inspect' my system. They kept calling back, but from different numbers each time, mostly starting with 0300 which I figured was some internet-based line.
