01292482049 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01292482049 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving calls from individuals falsely claiming to represent BT, often with Asian or Indian accents. Callers typically warn of imminent broadband disconnection or hacking issues, urging recipients to access their computers, likely aiming to obtain personal details or access. Targets frequently note the scammers lack genuine account knowledge and quickly hang up when challenged. Calls may come from numbers that appear UK-based but often show as international or suspicious on caller ID. Many recipients advise ignoring or blocking the number, as engaging leads to harassment or attempts at fraud. Official BT has no association with these calls, and victims are encouraged to report incidents and utilise call-blocking services to prevent repeated contact.
Reports on phone number 01292482049
9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying my BT broadband was about to be cut off because of some malware issues connected to outside sources. I asked him to prove he was legit by giving me my direct debit info and name. He just hung up straight away. Total wankers.9 yearsGot a call from a woman who sounded Asian, said she was ringing from BT. Told her I’m not a BT customer so they shouldn’t have my info, asked her to take me off their list. She just ended the call. Total scam attempt.BT9 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he's from BT, offering to sort out my broadband issues. I straight up told him he was trying to scam me and that he was wasting his time. Surprisingly, he kept going and didn’t hang up, which was odd. I asked him for a contact number to get back to him, and he said his name was ‘Parka’ and gave me the number 0203 329906. Obviously, that’s not a proper BT number - 0203 is easy to buy and forward for a small monthly fee. Felt good to have wasted about 10 minutes of their time instead!BTParka9 yearsGot a call from a guy speaking with an Asian accent, telling me he was from BT. He warned that my internet would be down for three days. When I asked for more info, he asked if I'd seen an email they'd supposedly sent. I told him the number didn't seem like it belonged to BT, and he quickly replied it was from the tech support team. That’s when I decided to just end the call.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, saying my line was causing issues on their server and they were going to disconnect it. Lucky I’m with Virgin or they might’ve cut me off!BTVirgin9 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent saying there was trouble with our internet. I wasn’t having any of their nonsense.9 yearsIf anyone can provide more details about this firm, like a contact number or the name, I'd be really grateful. I’m with a company that specialises in taking down personal data from various sites. Any info you can share would be much appreciated. Cheers!9 yearsI got a call from a person saying they were from BT, warning me that my internet was about to be disconnected soon. They told me to sit at my computer and find the ctrl key to sort it out. They didn’t have any of my personal info like my name or address. It was clear they were trying to scam me, so I just ended the call and contacted the official BT. They actually arranged this free service that stops scam calls from reaching me. I reckon they were trying to get access to my computer somehow.BT9 yearsGot a call from some dodgy lot pretending to be BT, saying they’d cut off our internet on account of hackers. Thing is, BT isn’t even who we get our internet from! I told them to jog on and mind their own business.BT9 yearsThis number rang me twice earlier today, but I couldn’t hear a thing either time.9 yearsI received a phone call, but the caller didn't leave a message. I noticed their previous posts, so I decided to block them.9 yearsThis morning, I received a phone call which was evidently not from the UK. Surprisingly, the call quality was very poor, making it difficult to hear. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to gather any information about the caller's name or identity. The woman on the other end claimed that there was an issue with our BT internet. A bit skeptical, I told her that I didn't believe her and that I would contact BT directly if I had any problems. Rather abruptly, she ended the call without even saying goodbye or offering any sort of courtesy. It's quite frustrating when they abruptly disconnect without any basic etiquette - a rude and bothersome occurrence.UKBT9 yearsSomeone rang up saying they were from BT broadband, saying my computer had been hacked. They asked if they could get into my PC to fix it, but it sounded like a total scam to me!BT9 yearsMy caller ID flagged this as 'International', so I just let it ring off. Later, I tried calling 1471 to check and the original number came up as 01292 482049, which is somewhere in the UK. Still, I’m not convinced - seems like the call’s coming from abroad but using a UK number to hide. Pretty sure it’s dodgy, so I’d say don’t pick up!UK9 yearsIt is apparent that they are quite occupied today! I noticed this particular call on my caller ID labelled as 'International' followed by the number 01292482049. As all incoming international calls are prevented by my call blocker, I became quite curious. Answered the call, and there was silence on the other side. So, I decided to permanently block this number by pressing a button. I had been quite excited about engaging in a humorous conversation with what I assumed would be a scammer, but unfortunately, I did not have the satisfaction.9 yearsGot a call from a bloke saying he was ringing from BT about some virus problem with my internet. I told him I don't even have BT broadband, but he insisted my connection was at risk anyway. I asked him a couple more times which company he was with and he kept saying British Telecommunications. I told him we get loads of calls like this, folks pretending to be Microsoft or whatnot, saying there's an issue with the PC or software. I told him if he’s really from BT he should send it in writing. Using "BT" like that could really trick people who aren't so savvy. Watch out!BTBritish TelecommunicationsMicrosoft9 yearsI recently received a phone call from this number, which was quite difficult to understand. The person claimed to be from BT and stated that our internet connection would be disconnected within the hour. I hung up immediately. Normally, I don't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers displayed as "odd" on the caller ID, but this particular number appeared normal.BT9 yearsI didn't pick up the call because it appeared as 'International' on my caller ID. Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to use the 1471 service to find out the actual number, which turned out to be 01292 482049, indicating that it is a UK-based number. However, something doesn't feel right about this. My hunch tells me that it could be a scam, with the intention of disguising an international call as a UK one. Therefore, I strongly advise against answering this call. Stay cautious!UK9 yearsSome bloke rang claiming to be from BT. I mentioned that BT had already said they wouldn’t phone me, which seemed to irritate him. I just told him to go do one.BT9 yearsI've received a few calls lately, and every time they ask me to fetch my computer and switch it on. I politely request them to hold on as I go and get it, but in truth, I'm actually busy doing household chores like washing the dishes or hanging out the laundry. They persistently inquire if the computer is turned on, but I explain that I can't seem to locate the cords or plugs and inquire if they can help me find them. Eventually, they become exasperated with my apparent confusion and hang up the call, thinking I'm a rather eccentric lady.9 yearsI'm absolutely tired of individuals attempting to deceive the general public. This particular number has been widely reported and is situated in Gwent, Wales. It would be greatly appreciated if BT could disconnect this number or, at the bare minimum, conduct an investigation on it. Perhaps involving the authorities, such as the Police, might be necessary since they are impersonating BT officials.GwentWalesBTPolice9 yearsGot a call from 01292482049 but BT's Call Guardian stopped it from coming through. Decided to just block the number altogether now.BT Call Guardian9 yearsSomeone called saying they were with BT, warning me about hackers nearby and that my device might be compromised. I decided to play along and kept chatting to find out what info they wanted. They asked me to be by my device and what kind it was. I straight up told them I wasn’t sharing any details. They ended it by shouting “Get lost” and hanging up. Quite funny, actually!BT9 yearsGot a call from a lady with a Chinese accent saying she was from BT. She told me there was some problem with my internet and that it was about to be disconnected. Seemed fishy to me!BT9 yearsJust like others have said, this call was definitely trying to trick me into letting them access my computer. They said they were from BT and gave the typical spiel about some hackers using my internet illegally. Said they wanted to help me fix it and make everything secure again. Total scam stuff if you ask me.BT9 yearsThis morning, I received two phone calls. The first call was from an individual with an Asian accent who claimed that I wouldn't have internet access for the next three weeks. He introduced himself as a representative from BT. Suspicious, I asked him to provide some identification, but he promptly ended the call. About 15 minutes later, I received another call; this time, it was from a woman with the same claim that my internet had been infected. I expressed my disbelief and informed her that she wasn't affiliated with BT. She introduced herself as Michelle Hayden and provided her number as 02031297026. Rather than calling the number directly, I used the 1471 feature and discovered that the actual number was 01292482049. I promptly reported this incident to BT, who then added the number to their spam file. Thankfully, I am scheduled to have BT Protect implemented tomorrow to combat such nuisances. These types of calls can be quite bothersome.BTMichelle HaydenBT Protect9 yearsI got a call from this number the other day. Some bloke with an Asian accent claimed he was John from BT and said my phone line would be cut off in five days. I wasn’t having any of it and told him, quite bluntly, to go take a long walk off a short pier. Basically, told him where to shove it.JohnBT9 yearsThis afternoon I got a call from someone pretending to be BT saying there was an internet issue. My husband just told them it was rubbish and ended the call straight away.BT9 yearsBeware of scammers attempting to obtain your computer login information and more. Clearly instruct them to stay away.9 yearsBeware of scammers; their only intent is to deceive you and extract personal information for fraudulent purposes. It is best to disconnect the call immediately without engaging in any conversation whenever you suspect a scam.9 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he was from BT's internet team, but he had a really odd Indian or Asian accent and said he was ringing from Aberdeen! Sounded totally fishy to me!BTAberdeen9 yearsIt's quite an annoyance, they continuously pestered me, not accepting my refusal, so I abruptly ended the conversation.9 yearsWhen lunchtime rolls around, I usually get these rubbish calls from Indian scammers. Honestly, it's mostly just some weird buzzing noise, no proper words or anything that made sense at all. Absolute rubbish.9 yearsI recently received a call similar to the ones that have been reported. I find it frustrating that, as a British landline number, Ofcom is unable to disconnect these nuisance callers. Despite being registered with TPS and reporting numerous similar incidents in the past, it appears that none of our efforts have made any difference. The situation feels completely ineffective.OfcomTPS9 yearsGot a call from some Indian call centre saying they were gonna disconnect my internet the next day. I just told the bloke to shove off, and surprisingly, he hung up!9 yearsThis number seemed familiar from past calls, so I decided to just ignore it this time. I can’t really recall what I said last time they rang me, though I’m pretty sure it wasn’t very nice.9 yearsGot a call saying my computer was being used illegally, they wanted me to turn it on. I hung up straight away but then they kept ringing from a hidden number. Blocked the first one though, what a scam!9 yearsThis caller was just like the rest, I initially thought it was Sean. I acted clueless, asking which account he meant. Then he tried to confirm if I was the one who held the account. I told him he must have dialled wrong and quickly ended the call.Sean9 yearsGot a call from someone who said his name was Jason Parker (which doesn’t sound like a typical Indian name to me). He mentioned that our internet would be disconnected tomorrow. I just told him that's fine and ended the call.Jason Parker9 yearsJust had a call from someone called Jenny, sounded like she might’ve been Malaysian, defo not Indian though. She said she was from BT tech support, but they ought to realise by now that we get tons of these calls. I gave a quick "oh bugger" and then I dropped the call.JennyBT9 yearsHad a call from a lady claiming to be with BT technical support. I told her my phone line was fine, then she just ended the call. Pretty clear she was trying to scam me.BT9 yearsHad a very similar call to what others described. A guy named 'John' with a thick Indian accent said my internet was going to get cut off soon due to loads of errors from my IP. I played along for a bit, but when he said he could sort it out, I asked if he enjoyed his work. Right after that, he hung up on me straight away.John9 yearsI recently received a call from a certain telephone number where the person claimed to be from BT. They informed me that my internet would be disconnected for the next few days. When I inquired further about the reason behind this, they abruptly ended the call.BT9 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he was with BT telling me my internet would be down for a couple of days. Told him “that’s not happening,” and he just cut me off straight away. Definitely added that number to my block list now.BT9 yearsSome moron claimed to be from BT and then cut me off for like three months. I’m not even a BT customer! Left the idiot waiting on the line for 10 minutes and then he just hung up on me.BT9 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was with BT, telling me my phone line would be disconnected in three days. I told him to jog on and ended the call. What a nuisance!BT9 yearsToday at 15:43, I received a phone call from an individual with an Asian accent who informed me that my broadband would be disconnected in a few days. However, I quickly responded by saying, "Broadband? I don't have broadband!" He promptly hung up, leaving me slightly concerned. To investigate further, I used the 1471 service to retrieve the caller's number. I genuinely hope that I took the appropriate course of action. It is truly unacceptable that individuals like this can attempt to intimidate and deceive people. As an 81-year-old, such acts understandably anger me. Thankfully, I managed to react appropriately this time, but what if I hadn't?Broadband9 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be with BT, saying my internet was going to be disconnected for a whole three weeks! Sounded a bit dodgy to me.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from BT, but I knew it was dodgy, so I just blocked the number straight away.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT saying there was an issue with my router. I told them I wasn’t buying it and asked them to ring me back in 30 mins. Used that time to check online for similar scams. Wondering what they’ll say when they call again.BT9 yearsSome bloke named John rang me about 14 times today, supposedly from BT in Reading, though I’m not convinced. He claimed there was a server issue and told me to restart my computer. I told him I didn’t believe he was really from BT. Then he snapped, “Listen here, idiot! I’m going to block your computer.” I just hung up, but he’s kept calling all day, shouting that I shouldn’t hang up or he’ll block my PC and I won’t be able to use it. Seriously creepy behaviour!JohnBTReading9 yearsI'm receiving illegal nuisance calls even though I am registered on TPS.9 yearsI received a call from a male who had an Indian accent, and he claimed that there was an issue with my internet.
