01614282787 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01614282787 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive scam, with callers posing as representatives from British Telecom (BT) or other official bodies like HMRC or banks. Callers often have foreign accents, especially Indian, and use personal details such as name and address to appear credible. They typically offer fake discounts or claim urgent issues, then request sensitive information including date of birth and bank details. When challenged or refused, they frequently hang up abruptly, use abusive language, or remain silent. Many users report repeated calls throughout the day, including silent calls and hang-ups when answerphones activate. It is strongly advised not to engage, avoid providing personal data, and block the number to prevent harassment and potential fraud.

Received a call purporting to be from my bank's security department. The chap knew the name of my bank, yet was reluctant to specify the nature of the transaction he was inquiring about. Found it all a bit dodgy, to be honest.

Got a call this morning around 8:50 from a lady with an Indian accent claiming to be from British Telecom. She asked me to confirm my last name, saying it was about my phone account. I told her it wasn’t mine at all, and she just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam.

For the past few weeks, I've been inundated with calls from this number, but I always ignore them. However, after receiving the sixth call today, I thought it was time to engage. A rather hard-to-understand woman with an Indian accent indicated that BT was offering a 35% discount on their charges. She knew my name and address, which made me initially intrigued. But when she probed for my date of birth, I was taken aback and questioned why she didn’t already possess that information. My curiosity was piqued, but I decided to cut the conversation short. After perusing some comments on this site, it's clear they're after bank details. Cheers to this website for the heads-up-I'll be avoiding those calls like the plague!

Received a call purporting to be from BT, promising some sort of discount. The caller seemed to have some of my details. Sounded suspicious, so I provided them with false information. The response was incredibly rude; they told me to go away in a rather foul manner!

Received a call purporting to be from BT, claiming they had a special offer. The caller had some of my personal details, which raised a red flag. They seemed keen to gather even more information from me. I provided some fake details instead, and in response, I got quite the rude dismissal-let's just say they were not very polite!

Had this woman calling ages, sounded like she had an Indian accent. She already knew my name and postcode, which was odd. She told me BT would knock 30% off my upcoming bills and then asked for my dob. I told her I wasn’t giving that info on a call. Then the line just cut off. Definitely a scam, be careful out there.

I've been receiving calls from this number daily for a fortnight now. Today, I finally picked up, and they started probing for my personal information.

Of course, these lot don’t get the message and rang again at 11:25. Didn’t even pick up the second time, probably just another fake number so I’ve blocked it now.

I received a call from some clueless chap claiming to be representing BT. When I inquired about why he was calling from India, it clearly put him on the back foot. After having my number bombarded with four calls in just two days, I firmly told him to refrain from calling again. His response? A rather cheeky assurance that he'd keep ringing me endlessly! I completely lost my cool and told him to just bugger off. Here’s hoping he’s taken the hint and moved on!

Received a rather peculiar phone call earlier today, claiming to be from BT, purporting that they could reduce my phone bill as a gesture of appreciation for my loyalty. The woman on the line, who had quite a distinct accent, introduced herself as ‘Irene Walters’. When I inquired about her data controller’s details and mentioned that I suspected this was a scam, she rather rudely instructed me to ‘get lost’. It’s a bit amusing, really, as I hadn’t even had the chance to inform her that I’m not a BT customer at all!

Some foreign-sounding lass called me, inquired if I was speaking to Mrs Ransom. I said "No," and then we had this tense moment of silence, as if we were in some sort of standoff. Eventually, they just decided to hang up. It's been a right pain today, as I've been bombarded by various numbers. Seems like a fresh wave of foreign telemarketers has gotten their hands on a dodgy contact list from the dark corners of the internet. It’s likely just another scam attempt - at this rate, I've heard just about every trick in the book.

Had a call earlier from someone with an obvious foreign accent, they were asking for me by name and said good morning. When I told them it was actually the middle of the afternoon, they just abruptly ended the call!

Got a call from someone sounding like they were overseas, claiming to be from BT, wanted to talk about my "BT account". Definitely a scam, so I just ended the call straight away.
