4 yearsAbsolutely infuriating calls!4 yearsI received a dodgy call from someone supposedly representing BT Openreach, insisting that my computer was at serious risk. They even went as far as to say our broadband had already been compromised! Just a heads-up to everyone-stay vigilant!BT Openreach8 yearsI answered and the line just went dead straight away, no words at all. Took less than two secs before they hung up. What a waste of time!8 yearsThe caller said it was BT, but I’ve never had BT and just ended the call straight away, that was on 10/12/12. Then they rang me once more today, 11/12/18, but I didn’t pick up as I saw the number on the caller display. I know they’re meant to be cracking down on nuisance calls but honestly, I haven’t noticed much difference at all.BT8 yearsI got a call from this number before. Didn't say a word this time, so I just ended the call. Like others have mentioned, it was all rubbish about some issue with my internet.8 yearsThey called a few times but hung up after just a couple of rings. Had a look at the number on this site and decided to block it from my recent calls.8 yearsSCAM ALERT!!! I got a call on my work line from someone claiming to be BT. They said my internet was getting messed up by "junk" files and I didn't even know about it. They wanted me to open the event log on my computer and asked if I knew what it was. I said yes and explained it to them. Then they asked if I was tech-savvy, I told them I'm a software engineer. Right after that, they just said "I must go" and ended the call. Total rubbish!BT8 yearsI answered 01244822973 and asked which country the call was coming from and for a name and address. Instead of answering, the guy just started shouting, telling me to "f### off you mother f###er". So, I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call a bit ago from someone with an unfamiliar accent claiming to be from BT Openreach. They told me my internet was weak and they’d fix it up. I asked for their phone number to check, but I told them I wasn’t buying it. They went all “how can I prove it to you?” and when I pushed for a contact number, they just ended the call. Seems like a total waste of time - don’t get caught out!BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call not long ago from someone with a really strong accent, sounded foreign. He claimed to be from BT Openreach and told me my internet was really slow and they wanted to fix it for me. I asked him straight for a contact number and told him I didn’t trust what he was saying. He said, “How am I supposed to prove it to you then?” and when I asked again for a phone number, he just hung up on me! Avoid these time wasters, they’re not legit.BT Openreach8 yearsI got calls from both 01895 673560 and 01244 822973 recently.8 yearsI just got a ring from this number, sounded like some busy call centre with loads of background noise. Nobody said a word, just loads of static and chatter. This isn’t the first time either.8 yearsI got a call from this number too, right after another one that was definitely a scam. They kept ringing and I told them straight up I knew they were up to no good. Seems like it's just the same lot using a new number!8 yearsGot a call about some issue with my internet. I said I wasn’t having any problems and then they just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call from this number at my company’s UK main office, saying they were from BT Openreach. They asked if there were any issues with our internet. I told them straight up I’m not daft and I’m onto their scam. Next thing, they just shouted some rude words at me and ended the call. I reported it to http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud and I'd advise others to do the same.UKBT Open ReachAction Fraud8 yearsGot a call on our home phone from 01244 822973. It definitely sounded like a call centre, pretending to be BT, claiming there was an issue with my internet. Thing is, I’m not even a BT customer! I told the caller they must be either really cheeky or daft, and that I don’t entertain cold calls. Then I just hung up. I reckon they’ll ring back though. Why can’t these people be blocked? It feels like they’re abusing BT'sgood name!BT8 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was from OpenReach, told me they’d be disconnecting my internet for 25 days because my router supposedly had viruses and suspicious stuff going on. He couldn’t explain any tech details at all. I just kept him chatting for around 15 minutes to waste his time and hopefully stop him scamming anyone else. Have blocked the number now.OpenReach8 yearsGot a call today from someone pretending to be from BT, saying there was something wrong with my computer. I told them to leave me alone and not to call back. Total scam, watch out!BT8 yearsGot called by this number five times already today. So annoying. They pretend to be from BT Openreach saying there's an issue with my internet, but there's nothing wrong. Really wish there was a way to block them, but guess not.8 yearsThis seems like a scam trying to steal your personal and bank info. Honestly, just ignore it and stop bothering people.8 yearsHad a couple of calls today from what I think was some kind of robo dialler, twice in fact. Luckily, BT Call Guardian stopped them both times, so no bother for me.

Def a scam, I'd say.8 yearsGot calls from this number about 5 times over the past couple of hours. They said they were from BT Openreach and mentioned something about my computer. I asked them to stop ringing, but they just don't seem to care. Since then, they've called 4 more times, but it’s just silence on the line apart from the background noise like a busy call centre. Proper annoying!BT Openreach8 yearsI've marked this number as "dangerous" after the caller claimed my internet was having connection issues.
