4 yearsGot a call from someone named Josh, kept going on about switching our lines to ISPN. He was threatening to disconnect us if we didn’t sign up. Proper spam, so I had to block the number!Josh4 yearsThey rang me claiming to represent BT, but when I mentioned that I had searched for their phone number online and discovered it wasn't affiliated with them, the caller abruptly cut the line! Total scam!BT4 yearsAt first, I wasn’t too sure about it, but he actually seemed to understand our old phone lines that we’re thinking of replacing. We’ve been getting some quotes to switch over, so I scheduled a consult for someone to pop by and check the lines and equipment to see if they’ll work with the new system. I’ll let you know how it goes after the appointment.4 yearsSome bloke said he was from BT and talked about updating something to do with copper phone lines at our business. I told him we just use mobiles, but he insisted he could sort the update anyway and said our phones wouldn’t have any issues with the new system.BT4 yearsThey claim to be from BT, but they're just cold callers trying to pressure you into buying rubbish. Best thing is to hang up, block the number, and report them. Don’t fall for their scare tactics.BT4 yearsSo this guy called, claiming to be from BT about the main line still being copper and getting cut off in 2025. I told him to send us an email instead. When he asked why, I told him that anyone could just call and pretend they’re from EE, BT, Amazon or whatever, so I’m pretty sceptical about these calls. After hearing that, he just hung up. Definitely wasn’t BT.BTEEAmazon4 yearsI had a rather dodgy encounter with someone purporting to represent BT. However, when I asked for any form of verification or an email address, he was unable to provide either. It definitely raised a few red flags for me!4 yearsI received a rather alarming call from someone claiming to be from BT. He kicked things off by warning me that my phone line would be disconnected in the coming week due to some early implementation of changes scheduled for 2025 in my area. Oddly enough, he didn’t seem to have any of my details at hand and became quite flustered and confrontational when I pressed him for more information. Definitely a scammer in my book!BT4 yearsSo, Josh rang me up with that stuff he mentioned earlier. I ended up phoning my network provider and they told me no plans are in place to switch from copper wires to digital yet, they're expecting it to be a couple of years away, maybe 2 or 3. When any switch does happen, they'll notify us directly through our actual supplier, not some company like "BT". Honestly, seems like a dodgy attempt to scam people taking advantage of the situation, so watch out!JoshBT4 yearsI got a call claiming to be from "BT", even though I'm already with BT. As soon as I mentioned I'd take a message and ring back later, they just cut the call. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.BT4 yearsCompletely avoid this number! They were really nasty and aggressive, plus they had all the wrong info and the contact details didn’t match up at all. Really not worth your time.4 yearsThey purport to be representatives of BT, but don’t be fooled-they're not! They’re trying to persuade you to switch to a supposedly superior system that promises to save you some pennies. However, their lack of credibility is glaring; it’s evident they're not affiliated with BT at all. Steer clear of this lot! They're definitely not to be trusted.BTSteer4 yearsHad a bloke named Shaun ring me up saying he was with BT, telling me analogue phones were being switched off and he needed to do a site survey to fit new ones. Thought it was odd, so I called BT myself and there’s nothing on my account about them getting in touch. Feels like this ‘site survey’ is just a way to hack into your system, so watch out for this one.ShaunBT4 yearsI got in touch with the company that handles our phone lines and asked about this call. They told me it's just some sales reps who claim to be from BT, but they're really just linked to them somehow, trying to drum up new customers. They weren't rude or anything, pretty courteous actually, but as soon as I mentioned I have an IP/SIP line set up, they quickly dropped the call and didn't push any further.BT4 yearsGot a call from someone named Josh saying he was with BT plc, guess it was just spam so I blocked the number lol.JoshBT!4 yearsGot a call saying it was BT, warning me about shutting down analogue lines. I'm pretty sure it's a scam. When I tried ringing the number they gave me, it turned out it wasn’t even real.BT4 yearsGot a call from BT PLC regarding the switch off of analogue lines. They were really polite and gave me some useful info. Sadly, we didn’t meet the criteria for their business migration deal, so couldn’t take it any further.BT PLC4 yearsDefinitely a scam, I wouldn’t trust that call at all.4 yearsThis bloke called Joe gave us a ring, telling us the old phone lines were getting switched off soon. He sorted out for a consultant to drop by and help us with the upgrade. Really helpful guy!Joe4 yearsGot a cold call about BT ending copper phone lines, but it didn’t sound like BT at all. Pretty sure it was a scam, so I just blocked the number!BT4 yearsGot a call from BT Business about turning off the copper lines. I looked it up and it’s meant to happen in 2025. The bloke said they’re starting to switch over in my area already and is giving good deals if you switch early. We've arranged another call next week to sort it out properly.BT Business4 yearsI got a call from some bloke named Ashley who said he was ringing on behalf of BT, but I’m certain he wasn’t. Turns out, he’s with another telecom firm trying to tempt people away from their BT deals by offering cheaper contracts. Lying about his company immediately raised red flags for me, so I'm not interested in hearing any more from them. Seems dodgy and not very upfront at all.AshleyBT4 yearsSome bloke got in touch saying he was from BT and that analogue lines in my neighbourhood were being switched off soon. He said they’d send a certain contractor to come and give us a quote for a new phone and broadband setup. It didn’t seem legit to me since our usual company deals directly with BT, and they had no clue about any of this. So I rang BT on a different number and they told me that this wasn’t a BT number at all and the guy called "Josh" isn’t an employee. Looks like a scam, best to give it a miss.BTJosh5 yearsGot a call from a really nice bloke at BT offering a free chat about switching us over to the right internet software. Proper polite fella, made it sound quite helpful.BT5 yearsHad a call from BT Business earlier today. They were really polite and gave loads of helpful info, but unfortunately we didn't meet the criteria for their business incentive so no consultation was offered. Still appreciated how courteous they were.BT Business5 yearsjust got a call from some bloke saying his name was josh from bt, saying my analogue line was going to be cut off. I said we only use voip phones now, so he said it shouldn’t be disconnected, but then went on about selling me a new system. honestly don’t think he was actually with bt, felt like a sales pitch for something i don’t even want. watch out for calls like this!JoshBT5 yearsGot a call from BT wholesaler regarding my old analogue phone lines that apparently have to be disconnected soon. I've scheduled a meeting for next Friday to get a quote on upgrading to newer compatible tech.BT TradeSubmit Your Own Report (01522 440165)
