Every day I get calls from different numbers where the caller claims they're from BT. They never use the same number twice and just keep ringing non-stop. It's so frustrating, feels like a proper scam to me.

Somebody rang me claiming they were from TalkTalk saying there was a problem with my internet and that they could fix it. When I told them they weren’t really from TalkTalk and that I knew it was a scam, they just hung up straight away.

Got a call from a woman claiming it was regarding my BT service. Told her I’m not a BT customer and don’t entertain cold calls. She started arguing, so I just asked her to take my number off their calling list and then ended the call. Total telemarketer scam!

got a call from a bloke claiming to be with bt, asking for the account holder. i told him we wasnt due for any renewal and he snapped back saying it wasnt about renewal at all but to warn us our line would be disconnected in january, then he just hung up on me! sounds dodgy to me and after reading other comments here, looks like a total scam. i checked the number by dialling 1471 and this was the one that showed up -

They claimed they could provide calls cheaper than BT, but I was a bit skeptical at first. Still, thought I’d give it a go. Turns out, their rates really are lower, so if you’re looking to save a bit on phone bills, might be worth checking out.

some bloke rang asking for the person who pays the bt bill. i told him i was quite happy with bt as is. he said he wasn’t trying to sell me anything. when i asked if he was actually from bt, he said no. i then asked why he was ringing if he’s not from bt and not selling me anything. he just hung up, couldn’t really keep the story straight.

They rang me but didn't leave a voicemail - I guess they hung up as soon as it went to answerphone.

Someone rang me claiming to be from BT, asking to talk to the person in charge of our account. When I asked for more details, he said he was a manager and mentioned our BT contract was about to finish. He tried to pitch a deal, but I told him I wasn’t interested and just ended the call.

Definitely wasn't a BT rep on the line. He kept pushing to talk to my husband and kept asking when he'd be free. Claimed BT was hiking up line rental charges and wanted to chat about our phone calls. He didn't even know who was on the account. I've already let BT know about this.

This person called claiming they needed to check if the landline charges at my address were going up. Trouble is, there isn’t even a landline at my place!

Someone rang me saying they were from BT and wanted to go over my phone usage. They couldn't get my account number because of some data privacy rules. I told them it felt like a sales or marketing call, but the person insisted it wasn't. Then, out of nowhere, someone on their side just hung up while she was still talking. Totally pointless call.

Don't believe these lot, they have nothing to do with British Telecom! They couldn’t even tell me who the number belonged to. Definitely a scam in my opinion.

Got a ring on my landline but no message left, so no clue who they were or what they wanted. Probably just some telemarketer trying to sell something!

I’m rather puzzled as to why I received a call from them since I'm a Virgin customer. I happened to be out at the time, and they didn't leave a message on my voicemail either. Quite strange, isn’t it?

A chap claiming to be from BT rang me up, saying he wanted to have a natter about some sort of rise in my account. I simply told him to drop me a line if there was anything that needed sorting out.

It sounded like a call from a call centre, given the commotion in the background. I heard a chap saying, "I'm a bit uncertain about who to contact," and then he abruptly ended the call.

A chap called me claiming he was from BT, suggesting that because I ran a business, he could offer me more competitive rates. I decided to feign ignorance, and before long, he had cut the line.

I received a call from a telesales representative claiming they were conducting a review of my account for BT. When I inquired if they were actually affiliated with BT, they confessed they weren’t. At that point, I decided it was best to hang up!
