Phone number ☎️ 0124420345 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers impersonating Openreach or BT representatives, claiming issues with broadband speed or line faults. Callers often pressure victims to perform computer tasks or provide remote access, with some becoming aggressive or threatening disconnection. Multiple users have confirmed these calls are fraudulent, noting that genuine BT/Openreach staff rarely contact customers in this manner.

It is recommended to ignore such calls, never provide remote access details, and verify with official providers directly if concerned.

10 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from Open Reach, offering to sort out my slow broadband. I just laughed and told him his scam was ancient news by now.Open Reach10 yearsComplete rip off, honestly!10 yearsJust got a call like that, got properly annoyed when I wouldn’t type in my security code for him. I ended up cutting the call off, but he phoned straight back after a couple of minutes. I told him flat out it was a scam and he actually hung up on me!10 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone saying they were from BT Openreach. It was obviously a scam about my internet speed. I ended the call, but they called right back. Told them I wasn’t interested and hung up once more. Next thing, they threatened to disconnect my broadband if I hung up again. That really annoyed me, so I gave them a piece of my mind and they didn’t bother ringing after that. Bit concerning how pushy they were - if someone was more trusting, they might fall for it. Watch out!BT10 yearsA guy with an Asian accent called me, claiming to be from BT Openreach fixing my internet. I wasn't having any of it and told him straight he was just making it up and to shove off (I might have been a bit blunt). Honestly, do these scammers expect us to be polite with them?10 yearsI got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from Openreach. When I told him I only use 4G on my phone, he tried guessing my provider - first Virgin, then Sky. I kept telling him he was wrong. Pretty clear it was a scam call.BTVirgin10 yearsLooks like BT Openreach is pulling a dodgy one again. Feels like a total scam to me. Wouldn't trust those calls if I were you.10 yearsSome bloke rang sayin he was from BT Openreach, tellin me my internet was bein hacked. I told him I ain’t got a laptop nearby and reckoned he was talkin rubbish. Then he went off on me, swearin like mad and callin me all sorts of names. They give ya a number to ring back but it’s incomplete, so you can’t get hold of them properly. Proper scammers.BT Openreach10 yearsI just got the usual call, claimed to be from Openreach or BT or whatever. Told them I'd already checked with BT and they never mentioned any issues. Suddenly the line went dead on them! Typical stuff.BTOpenreach10 yearsLike others have mentioned, someone rang claiming to be from BT Openreach saying my modem speed was slow. He insisted on giving me a long number - 31 digits he said - related to my computer (we actually have four in the house!). He expected me to drop what I was doing and check everything straight away. I told him I was busy and would get to it later. Took a few tries, but I finally got his name, David Sperall, though his strong Asian accent made it tricky. He also gave me a callback number [1229871076]. After more than 20 minutes, he said I was wasting his time - probably because I told him I knew he was trying to scam someone else - and then just hung up. I rang BT Openzone afterwards and they told me they NEVER get in touch to talk about computer or speed issues, much like Microsoft.BT OpenreachBT OpenzoneMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from some guy claiming to be from BT or something like Teamviewer 12, said he wanted to get remote access to our computer. Bit of a warning to anyone, cos it seemed dodgy. Then he goes on about a refund we were owed and tried to get into our bank details - luckily we caught on and stopped him. After that, the man switched up his story saying we needed to buy something to fix issues on the laptop. We said no and next thing the laptop was locked up tight. We had to do a full restore, which was awful cos we ended up losing loads of photos of our granddaughter and also pictures of my partner’s dad who died not long ago after fighting cancer. Really heart-breaking stuff.BTTeamviewer 1210 yearsgot a call from someone saying they were from Openreach but it seemed fishy, defo a scammer!Openreach10 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be with OpenReach saying my broadband wasn't running at full speed. I just played along for a couple of minutes before hanging up - no time to waste on that nonsense.OpenReach10 yearsI received a call from this number, but they just hung up each time. Quite frustrating, really!10 yearsHad a bloke from BT Open Reach ring me up sayin' there was a problem with my phone line. I played along, let him yabber through all his stuff, even gave the impression I might pay up. Couldn't stop myself from chuckling though, and before I knew it, the call dropped. Proper funny that one lol.BT Open Reach10 yearssome bloke rang sayin he was from bt openreach sayin there was an issue wiv our broadband. i played along for bout 7 mins coz i got a call like that not long ago and knew it was dodgy. told him to call back in an hour, givin me time to figure out a way to pull one over on him instead.BT Openreach10 yearsI got a call just like this one, and honestly, it was a bit annoying. The person on the line kept going on about something I had no interest in, and I had to tell them a couple of times I wasn’t interested before they finally gave up. Sounds like just another typical telemarketer to me.10 yearsGot a dodgy call claiming to be from BT Openreach, total scam.BT10 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was from BT Openreach, saying there was an issue with our internet. I played along for about 7 minutes since I’ve had a similar call recently and knew it was dodgy. Told him to call me again in an hour - give me some time to figure out how to turn the tables on him.BT OpenreachSubmit Your Own Report (01244 20345)
