Phone number ☎️ 01493851724 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers posing as BT or internet service reps, often with Asian-accented voices, claiming issues with your broadband or modem. Many callers press for personal info or computer access but hang up when challenged or questioned. Some use aggressive or rude behaviour if confronted. Callbacks sometimes come from number disguising as UK but trace back to foreign call centres. Victims report hang-ups, foul language, and suspicious prerecorded messages threatening disconnection. Common tactics include fake security alerts, demands for account details, or insisting on tests for supposed connectivity problems. Most are effectively blocked by providers, but the volume and determination of scammers remain high, prompting many to warn others about these fraudulent contacts.

8 yearsAnother call from BT saying there’s a problem with my internet, total scam again!BT8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from BT and that my internet was acting up, said I was getting hacked and my connection kept getting slower when I used it.

I did pick up once and it was some call centre from India, even though the caller ID said it was a UK number. After that, I just blocked every single one!BTUK8 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone pretending to be with BT tech support, trying to sneak into my computer.
