9 yearsSaw this number pop up as international, but since 01246 is a UK code, I figured it was one of those scam calls and didn’t pick up.UK9 yearsJust like everyone else said, total 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 yearsI just ended another call. It’s always at the exact same time every day. When you do manage to speak to someone, they come across as really rude and completely unprofessional. If they’re really from BT, it’s not a good look for the company at all!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 yearsGot a call from someone with a heavy accent saying they were from BT Openreach, but as soon as I paused and didn’t reply quick enough, they just ended the call. Bit dodgy if you ask me.BT Openreach9 yearsWatch out, this was definitely a scam. BT Openreach doesn’t ring you up to tell you there’s an issue with your broadband.

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.
