8 yearsThroughout this week, I've been inundated with calls from this number. Each time, I pick up the receiver only to promptly hang up again. I'm utterly exasperated by these incessant nuisance calls. It appears that I frequently go through a phase where all manner of numbers bombard me for a week or so, then I get a brief respite for a fortnight. It’s incredibly frustrating! I do wish there was a way to put an end to this madness. Signing up for the Telephone Preference Service hasn’t had any impact at all.8 yearsThis morning I got a call from this number, turned out to be a scam. Even though I have caller ID, I acted like I didn’t recognise the number and asked them what their number was. They then put me through to someone who claimed to be a line manager, but the moment I asked again for the number, they just hung up on me.8 yearsI received two calls from this number today. The first time I answered, there was utter silence, followed by a rather abrupt "goodbye". The second time was equally odd-just silence before it cut off completely. Quite peculiar, to say the least!8 yearsI got a call back in March 2018 from someone saying they were with BT. When I told them my number was registered with the telephone preference service, they just laughed it off. Felt a bit dodgy to me.BTTelephone Preference Service8 yearsI received an unexpected phone call, and surprisingly, I decided to pick it up. On the other end was a woman from Asia who claimed to represent Open Reach. She insisted that they had detected several errors and warnings affecting my broadband service and offered to assist in rectifying these issues and boosting my speed. Naturally, I was puzzled as to why my actual internet provider hadn’t reached out to me, to which she replied that BT Open Reach was the primary provider. When I voiced my suspicion that it seemed rather fishy, she suggested I check some customer licence details on my computer. I informed her that I wasn't using a PC, and suddenly her enthusiasm vanished. It appears that resolving broadband speed problems isn't feasible from an Android device, so in a bid to spare us both any further inconvenience, she abruptly bid me farewell and ended the call.AsiaOpen ReachBT Open Reach8 yearsI keep receiving calls from individuals claiming to be associated with Open Reach. One would think that Open Reach ought to step in and put a stop to these bothersome calls. Is it not the case that such false representations could be deemed unlawful?Open Reach8 yearsGot a few calls from this number around 8:10 in the morning but didn’t pick up. Then it rang again later, and when I finally answered, there was nothing but silence. A few days back, a guy with an Indian accent rang me saying he was from BT and Microsoft - sounded fishy to me, so probably a scam. Ended up putting the number on my block list.MicrosoftBT8 yearsThey've claimed to be from BT, advising that I should access some settings on my computer to log into the router. Quite curious, if you ask me!BT8 yearsI answered the call but there was total silence on the other end, then it just cut off. After seeing what others have said about this number, I've decided to block it.8 yearsI just received a call from this number claiming to be from BT Openreach, insisting that my router was underperforming. They nearly had me convinced, but then they mentioned pressing 'window box an R'... it was marginally more convincing than their usual dodgy spiel! Honestly, BT ought to take action against these scams; they're misappropriating your name at a time when we're already facing enough issues with your service. And it’s truly regrettable that as soon as one hears an Asian accent, the immediate assumption is that it’s a scam-this is incredibly unfair to the legitimate callers. For goodness' sake, BT, could you not intervene? You’re clearly aware they’re exploiting your brand, so by staying silent, it almost feels like you’re complicit in their deceit!BT OpenreachBT8 yearsGot two calls from this number today. When I picked up, nothing but silence on the other end, so I used 1471 to find out who it was. Pretty sure it’s one of those dodgy cold callers pretending to be from BT. Honestly, just let your answerphone handle it - if it’s legit, they’ll leave a message. If not, no worries, just give it a miss. As for these scam call pests, I reckon something painful like piano wire or worse would suit them just fine. They’d probably weed themselves out naturally if Darwin’s evolution had its way with them.Darwin8 yearsI got a call from this number claiming to be from open research regarding my computer. They mentioned something about not being with BT and then abruptly hung up. They called back again, insisting they were the technical team from Virgin. I straight up told them it was a scam and ended the call. It’s odd though, since this was a Manchester number; I usually receive these dodgy calls from overseas.BTVirginManchester8 yearsGot a call from a woman who sounded Asian, and she said she was with Openreach regarding my internet. She actually knew my name which threw me off. The call took quite long to connect and that made me suspicious it could be a scam, so I just ended the call. Later on, I decided to use 1471 to check the number.Openreach9 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be from BT, asking if they could speak to me directly about some supposed issue with my internet. I calmly explained that I often get calls about internet faults, so I was a bit sceptical. Then out of nowhere, the bloke said they’d visit my house and chop my head off with a big knife or something. Caught me completely off guard, so I said, "Wait, what?" and he went on to say they’d stick my head up on the gate outside. Lovely folk, clearly.BT9 yearsThis is definitely a con! They pretend to be representatives from Openreach, BT, TalkTalk and the like. Their aim is to gain control of your computer, all in a bid to empty your bank account. Best to steer clear!OpenreachBTTalkTalk9 yearsThey phoned me saying they were from Openreach and already knew who I was. They told me to stand by my router, then asked about having an internet browser on my PC. Right after that, the call just cut out on me. Definitely felt like a scam.9 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were here to repair my internet. Seemed a bit fishy to me!9 yearsHonestly, just put these muppets on block, they’re a nightmare!9 yearsJust got a call earlier today from someone claiming there was a problem with my phone line. They asked me to follow some steps on my computer to "check my internet," but I ended the call straight away. Too fishy for me.9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with TalkTalk about an issue with my internet. Did the usual, then ended the call and put the number on my block list.TalkTalk9 yearsI answered the phone but there was no one speaking, so I think it was one of those call centre calls. Didn’t hang around to see if anyone was gonna say anything.9 yearsSame old rubbish calls. I just ignore them and then block the number so they can’t bother me again.9 yearsWhen I picked up, he didn’t reply straight away which made me think it was some sort of call centre. I’m registered with the TPS, so I shouldn’t be receiving unsolicited calls from genuine firms. The person said they were from BT about my broadband, but that sounded dodgy to me, so I just ended the call.Telephone Preference ServiceBT9 yearsSomeone rang me pretending to be from BT, saying they could sort out my slow broadband. They told me to visit a website where supposedly I'd see some fault report and get steps to fix it. They didn’t seem to have any real info about my actual plan or contract though.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT Openreach about my internet, but they just ended the call abruptly.BT Openreach9 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from Virgin Media, talking about issues with my broadband and landline. They then mentioned working together with British Telecom. The call ended pretty quickly after that.Virgin MediaBritish Telecom9 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from BT, saying they needed to sort out my internet. It felt a bit off since BT normally only ring if you've already reported a problem. I told them I’d get in touch with BT myself when it suited me better.BT9 yearsI tried ringing the number again but got nothing, so I've just gone ahead and blocked it from my landline.9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT, said they could sort out my slow broadband if I visited their website. They said they’d check the error logs and help me fix it, but they weren’t actually aware of my proper contract details. Felt a bit dodgy to me.BT9 yearsI've received calls claiming to be from Open Reach concerning my internet service. Interestingly, I've had a few similar experiences with other numbers, including some that were oddly silent. It really feels like a scam to me!Open ReachSubmit Your Own Report (0161 432 5215)
