Phone number ☎️ 01261397285 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls impersonating BT, often claiming issues with broadband or internet security. Callers typically have foreign accents, notably South Asian, and use scripted pressures such as threats of disconnection or urging remote access to devices. Many users identify these as fraudulent attempts to gain access to personal information or computers. The scammers adapt quickly, changing numbers frequently and becoming aggressive when challenged. Recipients are advised to be highly cautious, avoid sharing any personal details, and never grant remote access. Blocking the number is common but often futile, as the fraudsters simply use new lines. Verifying calls directly with your service provider is recommended to ensure safety.

7 yearsThis number just rang me and a recorded voice warned me about some shady stuff happening on my line and said it’d be cut off unless I stayed on to speak to someone. It was clearly a dodgy scam so I just ended the call straight away.8 yearsToday, I received a call from this number that undoubtedly came from a call centre abroad. They claimed to be from BT, insisting that my broadband had somehow been compromised. They wanted me to access my computer while they guided me through the process of fixing it. As soon as I mentioned that I actually work for BT (which I do), they abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, to say the least!BT8 yearsI’ve been bombarded by this chap claiming to be from BT Internet, insisting he’s following up on my broadband connection. He’s incredibly tenacious, ringing me no less than three times over the last couple of days!8 yearsGot a call from a bloke speaking with a strong Indian accent. I asked him where he was calling from since it sounded like he was overseas, and he said London! He started telling me our internet was about to be disconnected. When I mentioned the call kept dropping, he just ended it. Watch out folks, seems like a scam to me!London8 yearsSomebody rang saying they were from BT and warned me my internet would be disconnected if I didn’t do what they said. I just hung up straight away because I’ve been getting loads of calls like that recently. Also saw in the papers that it’s a well known scam coming from a call centre in India.BT8 yearsThey kept going on about some problem with my internet, but it all sounded dodgy. Got quite pushy when I told them I’d report them, then they started threatening to cut my internet off! I’ve blocked their number now, but they just pop up again with a new one. Proper hassle.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, said his name was Daniel and he was from BT - which we don’t even use. He went on with that tired spiel about my internet being hacked or something. What really got me was when he reckoned BT’s servers were keeping an eye on every internet provider across the UK to spot these 'problems'. Bit fishy if you ask me.DanielBTUK8 yearsGot a call earlier and the person just dropped the line as soon as I answered. Strange!8 yearsI got a call from some bloke overseas who claimed there were issues with our internet at work and told me to just switch it off and on again. I told him we don’t even use BT. Then he started shouting loads of rude things at me and hung up.BT8 yearsWatch out for these scammers, they’re really risky. Best to just ignore anything they say.8 yearsPut you straight on the block, mate!8 yearsGot a call from some Asian lady saying she was from BT. I raised my voice at her to spoil her day a bit. Obviously a scam, she just hung up. I've blocked the number now.BT8 yearsI got a call today from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from BT and gave the name Barry Galvin. He didn’t do any of the stuff he mentioned and then passed me onto his supervisor, who spoke even worse English than the first guy. Since I work remotely, I usually let these calls drag on to waste their time so they don’t bug others, but I was tied up today. When I told them I’m a fraud investigator, the man just hung up straight away. Seriously, this is a total scam - don’t get caught up in their nonsense!BTBarry Galvin8 yearsGot a call from 01261397285 at about 8.45 this morning but didn’t answer it. No voicemail left either. I just looked it up here and it’s definitely not a number you want to call back - it wasn’t even recognised. Pretty sure it’s some sort of telemarketer scam.8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT and my internet was about to be cut off. They mentioned that because I’m a loyal customer who always pays on time, they wanted to assist with fixing the issue. Problem is, BT isn’t even my internet provider.BT8 yearsIt showed up as Banff in North Scotland, didn't realise there were call centres from Asia operating there. Interesting! 👍BanffNorth Scotland8 yearsThey’ve called us twice in just a couple of days now. My missus said they warned her that if we didn’t sign in for them, they’d cut off our internet for three months. Honestly, if they bother us again, I’m going to give them a right telling off. I really wish there was a proper legal way to track where these calls are actually coming from.8 yearsGot a missed call and decided to look it up here before calling back - pretty relieved I didn’t answer!8 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from BT tech support and they tried to get me to set up Teamviewer on my computer.BTTeamViewer8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT, but their accent wasn’t European at all. They said my computer was being accessed while I was online or something. I don’t even use BT, plus I’ve got pretty strong firewalls set up. He said they were worried about my connection even though I’m with another internet provider and asked me to change some settings. I just nicely told him to buzz off.BTEurope8 yearsI looked up that number and it turned out to be someone going on about BT internet, which I don't even use. I told them to jog on and hung up straight away.BT8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT support, talking about some virus on my computer. They asked which one, and I told them I had six (which wasn’t true). I decided to mess with them a bit, then just told him to buzz off. Made my day, really!Submit Your Own Report (01261 397285)
