Phone number ☎️ 01247856452 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation where callers, often with Asian or Indian accents, falsely claim to be from BT technical support. They typically warn of impending internet disconnection or security issues, attempting to gain remote access to victims' computers. Many find the calls deceptive and aggressive, with some encountering abusive language when refusing to cooperate. Callers alternate between male and female voices and sometimes use automated messages or silent calls to bypass blocking.

8 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent rang up saying he was from BT. Complete nonsense, he claimed my computer had a virus from some dodgy illegal stuff and threatened to cut off my service if I didn’t let him access my PC. Told him to jog on straight away. Bet they’ll ring back soon enough though, sometimes it’s a man, other times a woman doing the scam.BT8 yearsSomeone from this number clearly kept harassing me. When an Asian lady claimed she was from BT, I told her I wasn't with them and hung up right away on the 25th. I didn’t bother blocking the number then, but the next day I got another call, this time from a bloke who hardly had any accent and was going on about my internet, computer, and BT stuff again. I just ended the call immediately and blocked the number for good.BT8 yearsOn the 26th of June, I got a call from this number. There was a few moments of quiet after answering, then this lady with a strong Indian accent started talking. She claimed she was from BT and was warning me about my BT internet being cut off or something along those lines. First off, I don't even have BT internet. Secondly, I wouldn't fall for these scams if I did. I ended the call while she was still going on. Then, just today, a different number 01832983725 called me with a similar message, but this time it was an automated voice - clearly trying to get past call blockers!BT8 yearsThe voice on the other end sounded like they were from some call centre abroad, and honestly, it was hard to make out what they were saying.8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT and needed to get into my computer remotely - total scam!BT8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT, sounded like they had an Indian accent. They wanted me to let them control my screen or something. I just told them no and hung up.8 yearsA lady rang me up and asked if I knew that my internet might be cut off at any moment. Before I could say anything, she just ended the call. Sounds like a classic scam starting to me.8 yearsGot a call with no one on the line, then ended with a robotic 'Goodbye'.8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT tech support overseas, saying my gadgets had been hacked. I told him I don’t even use BT anymore but he wouldn’t listen. He kept insisting I must have some device like an iPad or tablet and that the IP address was flagged. When I kept saying I’m not connected with BT devices, he got annoyed and then just cut the call. These kinds of calls really need to be stopped.BT8 yearsIt was the morning of 27th June, around 10am when I got a call from 01247856452, but there was no one speaking. Whenever I get these silent calls or dodgy numbers, I’ve got this whistle next to my phone and I give it a good blow. After that, they never ring me again!8 yearsGot a bloke on the phone today with a really strong Indian accent saying he was calling from BT. He told me I didn’t have a BT line and to remove me from his list because I’m signed up with TPI. There was heaps of back and forth and arguing. In the end, I just told him off and ended the call.BT8 yearsI just told her to buzz off and that was the end of it.8 yearsThis number’s just the typical dodgy Internet scam. I wasn’t having it and told the caller off pretty rudely, knowing full well it was a con. After hanging up, they rang back a couple more times and started shouting loads of nasty stuff, with a strong African accent. I also noticed other numbers popping up, like 004141566705 and 004141747969.8 yearsA woman rang me saying she was from BT, asking about how my internet was working. I told her to mind her own business as BT doesn’t provide my internet. She insisted that couldn't be true, so I said that the copper line from my house to the fibre cabinet belongs to Openreach. Right after that, she just ended the call. Definitely a scam. If you know a bit about your setup, they quickly lose interest, but someone less sure might easily fall for it!BTOpenreach8 yearsThey rang my house at quarter past seven in the morning but didn’t leave a voicemail. I have a poorly parent here with me and these calls really stress him out. Is there any way to stop them?8 yearsHad a woman ring me up claiming there was an issue with my BT service, which is odd because I don’t even use BT. Ended the call straight away. Is there no way to block these annoying calls through the Telephone Preference Service or something? They’re really getting on my nerves!Telephone Preference Service8 yearsTried ringing this number and all I got was a message saying it’s not valid! BT said something like "Number you dialed is unrecognised" or whatever. Totally useless!BT8 yearsThis is my fourth scam call this morning, and I wasn't even able to finish leaving a message. Honestly, BT Protect is pretty useless for blocking these. I'm just gonna block the number now.BT Protect8 yearsThe caller claimed to be from BT and told me my internet was being hacked by multiple foreign nations, but I just ended the call straight away.BT8 yearsSo annoying, same as loads of others, they claim they're from BT. I just hung up straight away.BT8 yearsIf you get a call and have a bit of time, try to tie them up so they can't bother someone else right away! I had a woman with an Asian accent say she was from BT and that my internet would be cut off for 20 days because my computer was full of viruses. She said if I let her take over my screen and install something (which would actually be a virus), then pay her to fix it, I'd avoid the disconnection. Yeah right, as if I'd fall for that!BT8 yearssome asian lady rings me up, claiming she's from bt and that my internet's going to get cut off due to 'illegal activity' or sumthin, which was a laugh! i asked her for more info but all she did was keep repeating that my connection would be disconnected. i told her to find a proper job rather than trying to scam folks and then ended the call!BT8 yearsgot a call from a lady claiming to be with bt tech support, sounded dodgy to me so i just ended the call straight away.BT8 yearsGot one of those calls where no ones there again. Proper annoying it is.8 yearsI got a call at work, but they dropped the line before I even had a chance to say anything. Maybe they’d already heard about me!8 yearsSome bloke rang claiming to be from BT’s tech team saying there was an issue with my internet. I just told him to buzz off and hung up. Funny enough, I’d just been on the phone to BT about my broadband deal - what a coincidence!BT8 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming he was with UK Home, then started asking me three questions. I told him to remove me from their calling list and not ring again, and he just hung up on me.UK8 yearsI got a call from someone saying my internet was about to cut out and started asking loads of questions. When I asked what they meant or who they were, they got pretty annoyed. Feels like a scammer trying to fish for details. Best not to engage with these sorts of calls.Submit Your Own Report (01247 856452)
