Phone number ☎️ 01526988541 👆 is reported as a prolific scam involving automated calls from a female voice claiming to be "Veronica" from BT, warning about criminal activity linked to the recipient's internet. Many users note repeated calls from multiple numbers, with no genuine BT contact details and immediate hang-ups when challenged. The callers aim to keep people on the line, likely seeking personal information or payment. Despite reporting to BT and the Telephone Preference Service, the calls persist, causing frustration and concern, particularly among vulnerable users. Genuine BT communications come from official 0800 numbers only.

Got a call from an automated voice telling me someone had used my internet for illegal stuff… felt a bit dodgy to me.

Got a call from someone named Veronica claiming to be with BT.

Got called by a BT scammer, really annoying! I would have thought BT would have cracked down on this by now. You can block numbers on your mobile easily, but it’s impossible on a landline. Honestly, BT should really get their act together and fix this.

They rang yesterday as well but didn’t leave any message, and again today, no voicemail was left.

I reckon we should start calling it the "Veronica BT trick" since I got the same call like others mentioned. When the 'advisor' finally answered and I said I don’t have internet, she just hung up on me straight away.

This number rang me at 1:54pm but I missed it. I get loads of calls like this every day, sometimes even 8 times! I've got call guard and BT's monitoring system set up too. After seeing what others have said, it’s clear this is a scam. Just so you know, BT will always call you from an 0800 number, never anything else.

I’ve gotten a bunch of calls from this number, always someone named Veronica. Sounds like a scam to me, probably preying on older folks just to get their cash. Seems fishy as hell!

Got a call from someone saying they were BT, a lady called Veronica, telling me my computer and Wi-Fi had been hacked. I just hung up straight away. This is the fifth time in two days I've had calls from three different numbers like this. I've reported them to the TPS but nothing is stopping these annoying calls.

Got a call from Veronica, supposedly from BT, but it smelled like some dodgy scam. Hung around to catch a real person so I could tell ’em off, but the line just dropped straight away.

I got two calls from someone named Veronica who claimed to be with B.T. Since we've been having issues with B.T. lately, I wasn't sure if it was real or a scam. I had my doubts but thankfully realised it might be dodgy. Just wondering, where exactly is B.T.?

Got a call from 01526 988541, same old spiel. I hung up straight away. Then I rang BT security to let them know. Turns out, their rule is not to report these scam calls to the police! They only pass it on if a BT customer admits they’ve handed over their details to someone claiming to be ‘Veronica’. So, no use getting cross at the person on the line - they’re just following company rules. Honestly, I can’t believe BT don’t have proper measures to handle fraudsters using their name. It’s pretty shocking really.

I just got a call from 01526988541 but when I answered, it went straight to voicemail and they didn’t leave any message. Bit odd, really.

We seem to get a barrage of calls from this number on a daily basis-occasionally several times in one day. The caller claims to be Veronica from BT and warns that our number faces disconnection shortly due to some supposed fraudulent activities unless we respond. It definitely has the ring of an automated message about it.

Received a call supposedly from BT about my internet being misused by hackers. The voice was a woman, but it sounded like a recorded message trying to keep me on the line to connect me with “someone.” Best thing to do is just hang up and forget about it.

Got calls from two separate numbers and reckon it’s a scam. I don’t even have a BT contract anyway.
