01293401696 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01293401696 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation often claiming to be from BT or Virgin Media, usually involving calls about supposed router or broadband problems. Callers often have Indian accents, background noise suggesting call centres, and try to get users to turn on computers or enter codes to "fix" issues. Many report multiple calls in a day, with some calls hanging up abruptly or having no-one on the line. Genuine providers say they don’t make such calls asking for personal info or computer access. Callers can be rude when challenged, and the phone numbers used don't match official company details, often traced to unrelated addresses. Users strongly suspect attempts to gain control of devices or personal data, marking these calls as phishing and scams.

We’ve had more than 300 calls in just one hour, coming from 95 different numbers right here at the office. It has to be some kind of phishing scam!

Complete con! Told me there was an issue with my router and asked me to enter some code on my computer. Definitely suspicious.

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent, claiming to be from BT Openreach. He told me there’s some issue with my router. I told him everything was fine with my internet, and he just ended the call straight away. Definitely a scam.

Today, I got about 15 calls from someone saying our Virgin router wasn't working. They kept telling me to get on my computer, but when I said I didn’t have one, they just ended the call. I've contacted Virgin myself, and they're looking into it and said they’ll alert the police as well.

Got a couple of calls off this number, first they claimed to be Virgin Media, then later someone saying they was from BT OpenReach told me my router had an issue and my broadband speed was dropping every time I logged online. Honestly, it didn’t come across as suspicious at all!

In the past hour, I received three separate calls claiming to be from BT, all spinning the same fake tale about problems with my broadband. I rang BT directly and was told these calls are a scam. Best thing to do is just ignore and hang up.

Got a call from this number but they hung up almost straight away, seemed a bit dodgy if you ask me.

I got calls from this scammer about four times saying there was an issue with our router. They kept asking if we had a laptop or computer because apparently some changes needed to be made. They claimed our router was using a ton of data, but it felt like a trick to get into my devices and steal info. When I checked with BT, they told me they never call to ask for personal details and only ring occasionally for marketing stuff. Definitely seemed dodgy to me!

Today I picked up a call and all I could hear was some background noise like an office, but no one actually spoke. Pretty sure it was one of those scam calls.

Yesterday I got a phone call from someone wanting to chat about my BT broadband, saying my connection had been terrible recently. They asked me to get onto my laptop but when I said I was at work, they just ended the call. Then today, they phoned again, and when I questioned them a bit more, they cut the call off again. I tried ringing the number back - first time it was busy, then no response the second time. Felt pretty dodgy to me, don’t reckon it’s legit BT, they’d give more info and wouldn’t just drop the call like that. Definitely a call to be cautious about.

The last week or so I've had loads of calls where noone answers when I pick up. I’m not sure if it's all from the same number but this is the first time I bothered looking it up. Really frustrating!

Some bloke said he was from BT Openreach and claimed there was an issue with my router, but he only seemed bothered about my landline. He lost me when he asked me to turn my computer on. From what I know, if there’s ever a problem, my provider sorts it from their side without needing me to do anything. He rang me back a couple of times quite close together, and the number he used was 01215022518.

I looked into the number and found it’s registered to an address in Crawley, West Sussex. It’s definitely not BT. Best to just ignore it.

Had this number ring me up four times today claiming to be BT OpenReach. They said my router was messing up the BT servers and that my phone line would soon be cut off. But don’t worry, they said they could sort it all out for me. I got fed up and told them to piss off, and then one of the blokes actually swore at me when he saw I wasn’t interested. What a joke.
