9 yearsI noticed this number appeared as an international call, but since 01246 is a UK code, I figured it was clearly a scam and decided not to pick up.UK9 yearsJust like everyone else has mentioned, this is definitely a scam!9 yearsI got calls from this number twice, once yesterday and again today. When I answered, there was nothing on the other end, just silence. I tried talking but still nothing, then out of nowhere a woman’s recorded voice said “Goodbye”. I’ve labelled it as “Unknown” for now, but if it carries on, I’ll probably switch it to “Harassing”.9 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a bit of an accent, claimed to be from BT Openreach saying there was an issue with my internet. I explained an engineer had already come round last week and fixed everything. When I said that, he just cut the call straight away without a single word. Sounds like another one of those scams trying to fish for info. Watch out, folks!BT Openreach9 yearsHad this bloke and a woman ring me, saying they were from BT about some issue with my internet. Started buzzing my phone about 15 times from 7am yesterday, then rang again today. Whatever you do, don’t share any info or switch on your computer. They’re total con artists.BTDO NOT9 yearsSome bloke rang claiming he was from BT, but when I mentioned I was just about to leave, he cut the call straight away. These scammers are really pushing their luck nowadays!BT9 yearsAll this week, some bloke from India keeps ringing my workplace, but every time I try asking who he is, he just cuts the call straight away.India9 yearsThis week I've gotten calls daily from some Indian gentleman. Whenever I try to ask who he is since I can't understand him properly, he just hangs up on me.9 yearsGot a call from a man with an Indian accent saying he was from BT and warned me that my computer was being hacked. I had him on the line while checking my system myself and found nothing suspicious. I guess it helped that I work in IT and knew what to look for. This kind of call is really worrying for folks who aren’t tech savvy - if you get a call like this from that number, just end it straight away and don’t share anything.9 yearsJust ended another call from that number. It’s always at the same time each day. If you do manage to speak to someone, they’re incredibly impolite and unhelpful. It really doesn’t reflect well on BT, if that’s who they say they are!BT9 yearsGot a call from a guy saying he was with BT Openreach, but it was totally fake. Don’t trust what they tell you to do! Also, just so you know, Openreach isn’t part of BT anymore - it’s its own company now, so the whole “BT Openreach” name is outdated.BTOpenreach9 yearsI received a phone call from someone with a foreign accent who said they were from BT Openreach. However, the moment I paused to consider their queries, they abruptly disconnected. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!BT Openreach9 yearsWhat an absolute con! BT Openreach never ring up to notify anyone about issues with their broadband, that's for sure. When I challenged the person on the other end, they just hung up. Quite dodgy if you ask me!BT Openreach9 yearsThis guy claimed to be from BT Openreach, I wasn't sure so I asked him about it and he confirmed it. He told me there was an issue with our broadband and that he had the details from some online survey. When I asked him which survey he was talking about, he just hung up the phone.BT Openreach9 yearsGot a call from a guy speaking with an Indian accent saying he was from BT. As soon as I paused and didn't give him any details, he just hung up straight away.BT9 yearsThis call was definitely a scam!!! Please, don't start up your computer for them.9 yearsGot a call this morning from someone claiming to be BT Open Reach, telling me there was a serious problem with my broadband and I needed to switch on my computer and follow their steps right away. I told them to ring back later, because everything seemed fine to me. After that, I contacted BT myself and they confirmed they hadn’t tried to get in touch and that they don’t call customers about errors like that. BT have now blocked the number and filed a formal complaint. Really hope this kind of scam gets shut down soon.BT Open ReachBT9 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from BT, telling me my broadband speed had a problem. When I asked if they were genuinely from BT, they gave me a reference number and asked me to check it by typing in some stuff on my computer. I told them I’d jot down the details and check it later, but they just ended the call right away.BT9 yearsSo, I picked up this number the other day, and at first, there was just silence. After a bit, I could hear loads of noise like it was from a call centre or something. Then a bloke’s voice popped up saying hello, had a laugh, and then he hung up. Proper irritating, especially when you're tied up with stuff.9 yearsThis number has called me a couple of times, but every time there's nothing said - just silence. Feels like one of those spam call bots that dial out automatically. Don't have a clue who's behind it.9 yearsAnswered my phone and the person on the other end just said "bye" then hung up. Pretty strange.9 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent a few minutes ago claiming to be from BT Open Reach about an issue with my computer. Thing is, I don't have any computer problems!

And to top it off, I'm on the ex-directory!BT Open Reach9 yearsI received a call from this number, but they hung up before I could even say a word.9 yearsThis morning, I received a rather dubious call from an overseas gentleman claiming to be from BT, insisting that our router was on the fritz since it was blinking blue. Now, I’ve had no issues with the router at all, so I allowed him to ramble on. Then, curiously, he shifted his story and declared he was actually from Open Reach. I wasn’t having any of it, so I swiftly ended the conversation and hung up!BTOpen Reach9 yearsThis number has been popping up on my missed calls about once or twice a day recently. When I dialled it back, it told me the number wasn’t recognised or something like that. I’m guessing it’s just some annoying spam or telemarketer, nothing worth worrying about.9 yearsJust moved into my new place a few days back and this number has been ringing me nonstop. It’s some lady with a foreign accent asking questions about heating benefits. I can’t really get what she’s saying. My phone shows it as an international call.9 yearsI found myself quite intrigued by this number as it seemed like a legitimate call that I hadn’t picked up before. The next time it rang, I decided to answer with an exaggeratedly loud "Hello!" Expecting some sort of interaction, I was met with an extended pause... and then a soft-spoken "goodbye" before the line went dead! How baffling!9 yearsjust moved into my new place a few days back and this number keeps ringing me daily. there's this woman with a foreign accent asking about heating benefits, but i really struggle to catch what she's saying. on my phone, it shows up as an international call. quite weird!9 yearsThis number, 01246851727, has rang me about four times now.

When I informed her that I didn’t even possess a computer, she accused me of being dishonest! I, in turn, suggested that her story seemed questionable, which prompted her to call me a liar yet again before abruptly ending the call!
