9 yearsThis has to be a computer scam, I swear. Can you please stop ringing me? It's really annoying!9 yearsI got called by this number like 14 times just today. Luckily, I had caller ID to see who it was!9 yearsGot a call from a woman saying my internet got hacked. I told her everything was fine and just ended the call.9 yearsI’ve already sent a complaint to Ofcom about this.Ofcom9 yearsWe just received a rather suspicious call from this number, purporting to be from the technical support team at BT. They claimed someone had been misusing our internet connection. When we probed a bit deeper, the woman on the other end, who sounded Indian, became quite irate and began to raise her voice. Once we pointed out that we were aware she wasn’t genuinely representing BT, she abruptly ended the call.BT9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from BT, saying someone else was using my router for internet, but I just ended the call straight away.BT9 yearsLike others have said, a guy with an Indian accent called saying my internet was compromised. I just told him to buzz off and stop wasting my time.9 yearsI looked it up with BT and it turned out to be a scam.BT9 yearsThey ring me about 3 or 4 times daily, and if I don’t answer, they just cut off straight away. Properly irritating!9 yearsI received a call from this number last week, then again yesterday, and now I’ve had it ringing twice already this morning. It’s rather unsettling as nobody ever says anything on the other end. What’s more, I can’t even ring them back!9 yearsI can’t believe how relentless and irritating this caller has been! They’ve been ringing me daily, starting their bothersome antics before 9 in the morning, and as the day rolls on, the frequency only seems to ramp up! It’s infuriating, and I must say, this is quite possibly the most bothersome collection of calls I've dealt with thus far! Best to avoid answering if you can!9 yearsthis bloke with a heavy asian accent said his name was "alan watson". typical nonsense but he did mention my number was "registered with bt", even though he had no clue what my actual name was. i just kept chatting to him for ages, hopefully stopping him from bugging someone else.Alan Watson9 yearsMy elderly mother, who is 75, keeps receiving calls from someone purporting to be from BT, but they’re clearly just cold calling. It happens every day, and to top it off, their accents are so thick that it’s nearly impossible to catch what they’re saying!BT9 yearsHonestly, these calls are just a load of rubbish. Best thing to do is hang up immediately and block the number straight away. Don’t waste your time chatting with them - they’re pushy scammers looking to take you in. Keep clear of these dodgy types!9 yearsOh gosh, these calls have been such a pain! They usually ring me just before 9 in the morning, but then they don’t stop - calling multiple times all day long. Seriously one of the most frustrating nuisance calls I’ve dealt with by far. My advice? Just don’t pick up at all!9 yearsI receive incessant calls from this number daily. Initially, it was a chap with an Indian twang, introducing himself as Edward Hamilton, who claimed to represent BT. These days, however, it’s a woman with a rather posh accent, asserting that she's from Experian and wanting to discuss my records! Honestly, I haven’t a clue what she’s rambling on about. Clearly, it's a dodgy operation - best to simply hang up the phone!Edward HamiltonBT9 yearsI recently received a rather dubious phone call that I can only describe as a well-orchestrated scam. It started with a caller who smoothly transitioned me to a supposed supervisor and then a so-called tech support team before finally landing me with a refund department. They claimed I was due to receive £200, but they insisted I log into my bank account online to verify the payment, which I obviously declined to do. Just goes to show how crafty these cons can be!9 yearsSo, this number 01266953786 rang me two times today, but no one said a word either time. I just kept the phone on until it hung up by itself. Please don't call back, I learned my lesson the hard way - last time I answered, it ended up costing me 65p for just 25 seconds! Ridiculous!9 yearsthe moment you say foxtrot oscart they just hang up real quick every time9 yearsI keep getting calls from 01266953786, but they hang up before I even pick up. When I finally did, the person said they were from BT and warned me about some fraud on my account. Pretty clear it was a dodgy scam from abroad. Strangely, the guy was really polite even after I told him he was a scammer. Usually these scams get proper nasty when you call them out, so this was a bit different.BT9 yearsI recently received a phone call from a man with an Indian accent who came across as rather insistent about keeping me engaged. It raised some red flags for me, so I decided to terminate the call. Definitely felt dodgy!9 yearsI got a call from someone with a strong Indian accent who said they worked for BT. They told me there was an issue with my broadband and needed to get into my computer to fix it. They spoke very politely and used proper English, but I had my doubts. When I called them out on it being a scam, they just hung up straight away. Total scam artists, definitely up to no good.BT9 yearsGot two calls from this number today (Tuesday 14 May 2017). I answered once but quickly put my phone on answerphone, and they just hung up. I've blocked the number now. Cheers to everyone for the heads-up!9 yearsJust had a phone call earlier today from someone claiming that someone else was using my internet connection from a different location. The chap on the line had an Indian accent and was pretending to be from the BT technical team. He asked me to open my web browser, but it was glaringly obvious it was a scam. I mean, BT would never ask you to do such a thing! It’s clearly a ruse to gain access to your computer and personal information. Stay vigilant, folks!BT9 yearsSimply request your BT account number from them - they'll be unable to provide it since they aren't affiliated with BT. It's just rather pitiful, really.BT9 yearsGot a call from 01266953786, but it showed up as withheld on my phone. Didn't pick up and no voicemail either - definitely one of those annoying nuisance calls.9 yearsThis is definitely a con! Just to clarify, BT (or any other firm, for that matter) won't ring you up about issues. Usually, it’s up to you to contact them if there's a concern. Stay vigilant and don’t fall for these tricks!BT9 yearsJust received a dodgy call with an Asian-sounding voice on the line, insisting there was an issue with my internet's IP address. Total scam!9 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy claiming to be from itresearch, said he was gonna refund me for some IT debugging. Asked for the last 4 digits of my bank account though, sounded like a total scam to me. Definitely dodgy, watch out!9 yearsI’m completely fed up with these folks! I keep getting calls from Asian-sounding individuals claiming they're reaching out regarding my internet service. It's clear they’re not being truthful about their identities, and I really wish I could just banish this number for good!9 yearsI encountered a scammer pretending to be from BT regarding my router.
