Callers, often with South Asian accents, insist there is a problem with the victim’s internet or broadband connection, threatening disconnection or hacking. They attempt to manipulate recipients into allowing remote access to their computers under the guise of fixing issues, posing significant fraud risks. Many victims highlight the relentless frequency of calls, aggressive or evasive behaviour when challenged, and the use of false identification. This number is widely recognised as a scam and recipients are advised not to engage, never disclose personal information, and block the caller immediately. Reporting to relevant authorities and BT is strongly recommended to protect oneself and others.
Reports on phone number 01256112582
9 yearsFor the past three mornings, this number has rung me at the exact same time, saying they’re from BT and that my internet service was about to be disconnected. I kept telling them we don’t even have a BT line or internet. Today, I tried being civil with the bloke, but after telling him to shove off a few times, it seemed he still didn’t quite get the message. He then asked if I was satisfied, so I replied, “Absolutely, now bugger off!” That’s when he finally ended the call!BT9 yearsI received a call from this number, but I chose not to pick up. It appears to be the same individuals who keep ringing me from 01454888999.9 yearsThis number rang me a staggering seven times in just a single day! Thankfully, I’ve got caller ID, so I opted not to pick up.9 yearsThis morning at 10am, I received a call from a chap with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT, insisting there was an issue with my internet. I informed him there was no problem on my end and inquired about his location. After a moment’s pause, he muttered Nottingham-seems geography wasn’t his forte. When I replied, “Oh, I don’t think so,” he tried to intimidate me by saying he’d disconnect my internet. I simply said, “Go ahead then,” and promptly ended the conversation.BTNottingham9 yearsGot two calls in just a couple of days. I told them to get lost, but they just keep ringing like they don’t care at all.9 yearsThey say they're from BT and keep ringing me like 4 times daily. Definite scam, stay clear!BT9 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was calling from BT. She kept telling me I had issues with my internet and no BT line found or something, which isn't true at all. I told her I didn’t have a computer or any BT line, then she just told me to buzz off and hung up. Looks like a dodgy scam to me.BT9 yearsI received a call from an Indian woman around 11 this morning. She claimed there was an issue with my BT internet and started going over some instructions to resolve it. When I raised my concerns about whether it was a legitimate call, she mentioned a few things I could do to verify her claims. Yet, when I continued to voice my scepticism, she abruptly terminated the call!9 yearsRang me bright and early at eight this morning. For a moment, I was convinced it was one of my daughters! But lo and behold, it was a lady with an accent, chirping away with a "good morning, how are you?" I couldn't help but yell, "Who is this?" a couple of times, and then she hung up on me! Good riddance!9 yearsWhat a right bother these calls are! I pick up and there's not a soul on the other end. Time to block this number for good. Cheers to some peace and quiet!9 yearsI never share my home phone number, so it was pretty obvious to me this was a scam. Still, I really don’t like getting calls that early in the morning - 8am is way too soon!9 yearsHad a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT, telling me my internet had a problem and was about to be cut off. She ended the call abruptly when I started asking questions that weren’t on her script. This isn't the first time either, she’s called me a few times just this week. It really winds me up that I can't even relax at home without these scammers bothering me!BT9 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who said he worked for BT and claimed my internet was being hacked so he needed to disconnect it. He couldn’t even say my name properly. I decided to ring BT myself and they told me straight away it was a scam, so best thing is just to ignore and hang up.9 yearsToday, I've received a couple of curious calls at around 8:25 AM and again at 9:48 AM concerning my broadband. The caller, a woman with a distinctly Indian accent, claimed to be representing B.T. However, when I pressed for further details, I was met with silence both times. Quite peculiar, really!B.

Quite9 yearsI got two calls on my landline from this number in just an hour. The person was asking stuff about my computer and BT, sounded Asian and kept pushing a lot.

I just ended the call straight away since I suspected it was a scam.9 yearsThis number keeps ringing me, sometimes a few times in a single day, and I’m on the do not call list! The last caller was quite polite at first, a lady, but when I asked her if she felt guilty working for what I reckon is a dodgy outfit, she suddenly gasped and then told me to go away before hanging up. Does anyone know how to completely block these calls?9 yearsGot this random call out of the blue today, didn’t ask for it or anything. Total nuisance!9 yearsI’m so fed up with these calls, it’s driving me mad. I’ve told them I’ll report them to Trading Standards and have even flagged them up to the TPS. The funny thing is, I don’t even have BT Internet! I asked for a head office phone and got 0115552288, but apparently I gave them the wrong number. Honestly, these calls are doing my head in. Someone really needs to put an end to this.TradingTelephone Preference ServiceBT9 yearsGot a ring earlier today from a bloke with an Asian accent who said his name was Steve and that he worked in BT's tech support. He claimed my internet was disconnected due to some dodgy downloads. Since I’m not actually using the internet right now, I said that sounded a bit off. I told him to go ahead and disconnect it if he wanted, then said I’d call BT myself later. After that, I just hung up on him.SteveBT9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying he was from BT, warning my internet service would be disconnected. When I asked what would happen if I followed his instructions and pressed those keys, he just hung up on me.9 yearsMy phone had a ring, so I picked up.

Yet, these morons just won’t stop calling me!9 yearsthis number rang me pretending to be from the BT tech team, saying there was an issue with my internet. I told them i wasnt convinced and ended the call straight away. ive since blocked the number using my BT caller protect.BTBT Caller9 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent, saying she was with BT and warning that my internet was about to be disconnected because of a hack.

She just ended the call straight away.BT9 yearsI replied nothing and the call was ended.9 yearsI got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who said he was from BT.

He hung up right after.9 yearsI received a call from this number not long ago. The caller purporting to be from BT's tech support informed me that my email account had supposedly been compromised. They provided a phone number, 01793 596931, for me to ring back and confirm their identity, but I’m convinced it’s a scam. It’s evident that these fraudsters are employing the same old tricks but swapping out the numbers.BT9 yearsGot a call again this morning but went straight to voicemail, didn’t bother leaving a message.9 yearsWas told by someone with an Indian accent pretending to be ‘Steve’ from BT that my internet would be cut off if I didn’t comply. I said I’d follow his instructions while sitting in front of my computer. Lucky for me, I never actually switched my PC on. After that I just hung up on him. He shouted a few times down the phone asking if I was still there before ending the call. When I’m in a bad mood, I usually give them a much tougher time. It really winds me up how these scammers target vulnerable elderly people and hardly ever face any consequences.SteveBT9 yearsGot calls from the same number like 4 times today morning.9 yearssomeone said they were from bt but i don’t even have a bt landline.BT9 yearsGot a call supposedly from BT internet, warning me my connection was about to drop.

I didn’t write down the first number, but the second came from this one here. Both times, men with Indian accents answered, saying their names were Richard and Michael. They claimed to be from BT and warned my internet would be disconnected soon. That really threw me off because I haven’t had a BT account in ages, like 15 years or more. Complete rubbish, honestly.RichardMichaelBT9 yearsGot a call from a woman who said she was from BT, but she had a really heavy accent I could barely understand.
