01374985872 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number βοΈ 01374985872 π is reported as a persistent scam where callers pretend to be from British Telecom, often claiming your PC or internet is being hacked or infected with a virus. They try to get you to run programs or access sites like Team Viewer, supposedly to fix the issue but really to gain access or sell something. Many callers have foreign accents and appear to operate from call centres. Some users managed to keep the caller on the line or had their systems intercept the call. The approach is quite thorough and convincing, but ultimately, no genuine BT representative behaves this way. Most agree itβs a well-rehearsed scam aimed at gaining remote access or financial details.

9 yearsReceived a random call from someone saying they were with BT. They kept pushing me to run different software on my computer. When I said no, they then asked me to go onto some other site called Team Viewer, which looked like it was just trying to sell me stuff. They tried convincing me that this site was linked to BT, but couldn’t even tell me my actual account number when I asked. Definitely felt a bit dodgy to me.BTTeamViewer9 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from the IT department of BT, who insisted they were ringing to inform me that my computer was under attack.
