7 yearsGot a call from 01290782727, some bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from Openreach. He told me my computer had faults and viruses, then wanted me to press some keys on my laptop. I refused, but he kept pushing me to do it. Eventually, I just ended the call. After looking it up on here and other sites, it's clear it's a scam. Really unsettling how convincing these calls can be.9 yearsI had to contact the post office broadband support recently, and about a week afterwards, I received a suspicious call from this same number trying to scam me. I've gone ahead and reported it through the post office’s online complaint form and referred them to this website.9 yearsAbsolute disgrace, some scammer tricked my elderly mum, who's 90, into handing over a hefty amount of cash. Just awful.9 yearsThis number rang up saying they were from the post office and started talking about problems with our router. They wanted my nan to let them get into her laptop to check some graphs or something. As soon as she said she reckoned it was a scam, they just hung up. Looking at other comments, seems loads of folks get calls claiming to be from openreach too. My nan was on the phone for about 10 minutes before handing it over to me. I argued with the bloke for a good 20 minutes until he lost it and told me to f#ck off ‘cause I was wasting his time! Haha, seriously, don’t answer these calls!9 yearsDefinitely not from India, sounded more like cowboys to me.India9 yearsThis number has rung me up twice now, both times just after I'd lodged a broadband issue. Both calls came from a bloke who sounded Indian. On the first occasion, I asked if they could just email me instead, but they said no, so I ended the call. The second time, I asked for a contact number to ring back later when I had more time, but again, they refused. That’s when I told them it felt like a scam and hung up. They clearly have my details - my name, my company's name, and even the dates I report problems. I'm pretty sure loads of folks fall for this.9 yearsGot a call from 01290211853, some automated voice trying to sell boilers, said it was for people on benefits. Quite annoying!9 yearsThis number keeps ringing me all day long. The first couple of times, they just dropped the call. On the third ring, a girl with an Indian accent answered but ended the call after about half a minute. The fourth time, I lost it and told her off pretty harshly. Then a man with an Indian accent called, claimed to be from BT, and got rude before hanging up on me.9 yearsLately I've been getting loads of irritating calls, much like everyone else seems to be getting. They say they're from Openreach, claiming they're sorting out issues with my router. My mate told them that trying to fix my router is pointless because I don't even own one. After that, the calls finally stopped.9 yearsGot a call from a Indian guy claiming to be from Openreach, saying he needed to switch some channels on my broadband router. He asked me to open my performance monitor but when I questioned what that would do, he suddenly said I sounded really dodgy and just hung up on me!Openreach9 yearsThis call is from Openreach, apparently, with some engineer saying they're fixing stuff at the exchange. They mention there’s an issue with your wifi. They keep chatting forever, but I haven’t stuck around long enough before to figure out exactly what scam they’re running here.Submit Your Own Report (01290 211853)
