8 yearsMy folks keep getting calls from this number at all sorts of times. We've got a number listed on the directory, but it looks like they don’t care one bit. Totally feels like a scam to me!8 yearsGot a call from some guy named Gary, said he was from BT, but just hung up on me.GaryBT8 yearsGot a call from some Indian call centre trying to scam me. Sounded dodgy right from the start. Took me a minute to realise what they were up to. Watch out, these scammers are everywhere!8 yearsSomeone called me from this number, then I hung up. Shortly after, an Asian lady phoned again but from a different number: 02576324918.8 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady claiming she was from B.T, but I thought it was dodgy so I just hung up straight away.BT8 yearsI just had a phone call from this number. The bloke claimed he was with BT and mentioned something about blocking nuisance calls. Then he asked for my bank card expiry date. I refused to give it, but he kept insisting it was just to verify my details. I told him flat out I don’t share that kind of info on the phone and ended the call. He really sounded like the same person who called me before, warning that BT would disconnect my broadband. I’m absolutely certain this is a scam.BT8 yearsHad a call from a man, sounded Asian and his English was pretty rough. He claimed he was calling "from BT" and said my internet IP address had been hacked, and that big companies like Apple were supposedly using it. Then he went on about how I'd lose my internet for a couple of days unless I paid them a certain amount, something like £xxx. Total rubbish and just a complete waste of time. Definitely a SCAM!BTApple8 yearsI ended the call quick, sounded like one of those call centre things.8 yearsI just had a ring from 01247 547942, a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was with B.T. and talking about my internet connection. I didn’t even let him finish and quickly ended the call.BT8 yearsJust got a call from a bloke speaking with an Asian accent, ringing my 97-year-old mum. He was trying to convince her to get on her computer so he could supposedly sort out some issue. He even claimed he’d been in touch with BT, which she’s not even a customer of, and rattled off a few other providers too. Mum was puzzled by the whole thing but thankfully caught on to it being dodgy (we’ve been telling her to be careful) and told him she couldn’t access the computer before hanging up. It’s mad how many scams are going around these days.BT8 yearsJust got a voicemail from an Asian bloke claiming he's from BT, says my broadband will be cut off unless I ring back to sort it out.BT8 yearsI just told him to find a real job and basically told him to piss off!8 yearsThis is definitely a con, best to just hang up or keep them talking so they can’t trick anyone else who might be more trusting. Totally a load of rubbish.8 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming she was calling from BT, saying someone was hacking my internet. I told her I’m not a BT customer. She then started naming loads of other providers. When I asked for her phone number to ring back, she just ended the call. Definitely a scam!BT8 yearsI answered the phone but no one was there. When I looked it up online, it said the number could be from either Northern Ireland or somewhere in the US.Northern IrelandStatesSubmit Your Own Report (01247 547942)
