Total scam. Someone pretending to be from BT saying you get free line rental and free calls. They rang me back like 9 times! I asked for their supervisor, their full name, and their BT staff number. I gave them a made-up bank name I've never been with. Then they kept calling straight away. They said, “I’ve got the first four digits of your bank acc, what’s the rest?” Weird thing is, the number showed up as either INTERNATIONAL 0014416155442222 or INTERNATIONAL 01615542222. Dodgy as hell.

I gave the number a ring, but all I could make out was some garbled muttering, so I decided to hang up. This sort of thing seems to be becoming a regular occurrence.

They said they were from BT, telling me about a discount for loyal customers. Then they asked for my banking info, I said no, and they hung up. But the call didn’t disconnect properly.

I had a phone call from this number earlier today where they wanted me to confirm my postcode, which I did. However, when they then asked for my bank details, I declined to provide that information. I swiftly ended the call as soon as they mentioned they were calling on behalf of BT. The accent they had was a bit unclear to me; I couldn’t quite place it.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent, claiming we qualified for free calls as loyal customers. She already had loads of our info like our name, address and phone number, but then asked to 'confirm' which bank our direct debit goes through. When I told her I don’t share bank details on calls, she snapped back saying she just wanted to verify, not get the info! That was when I ended the call. No doubt about it, total scam.

This bloke with an Asian accent calling himself 'Mark' said I was eligible for two free months of BT line rental for being loyal. He seemed to know quite a bit about me, even the first four digits of my debit card! He then asked me to give the full card details to verify my identity. When I said no, he got angry and kept saying he was from BT. I ended the call and contacted BT directly. They told me it was definitely a scam. Watch out!

Some woman with a strange accent phoned me trying to sell a discount for paying BT phone bills upfront. When I told her I dont even have a BT account, she just hung up straightaway. These poor folks are kind of caught in a bind, probably pressured to meet targets which makes em sound rude. But honestly, I have gotten worse and just hang up on them fast now! Sometimes it’s quite funny to keep them on the line for ages just for a laugh. Still, its not really their fault, it’s those greedy companies taking advantage while our weak governments do nothing - rant finished!

My partner just answered a call from this number. No clue how they got it since we only gave it out to a handful of people after moving! Like the other comment, the caller said they were from BT and claimed free calls or sometin. My partner told him he’d wait for their letter. Then the bloke said they had to speak to us, but when my partner said BT should already have all the info, the caller ended up shouting insults at him, calling him awful names!!!

I rang the number back but got a message sayin "number not recognised, please double-check and try again". Sounds like a right dodgy scam to me. Honestly, the government’s rubbish at keepin tabs on these phone scams.

Absolutely, I reckon it's a scam. The moment I mentioned that I didn't require any verification, he just cut off the call. His way of speaking was decidedly subpar as well.

Just like loads of others have said here, I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent speaking in pretty poor English, saying it was about our BT account. I said I don’t talk about any accounts on the phone and ended the call. I could hear other people chatting in the background, sounded like a call centre buzzing about. Might be one of those cold-call centres down in Manchester. I’ve had calls from 0161 numbers like this before.

Got a call from this number around 4.35 pm on Friday 4th Feb 2017, and the bloke said he was Jimmy from BT. I asked for my BT account number, but he said I didn’t need that cos it wasn’t that kind of call. When I kept asking more questions, he just hung up while I was still talking.

Beware of sharing any details related to your bank or card information. They claim to be from BT, but I've already contacted BT's security team and lodged a report-it's quite clearly a scam. I’m especially concerned for the elderly, who are often the ones most easily deceived. The caller became quite flustered when I wouldn’t comply with their requests; it was apparent they were simply reading from a script, and their language skills left much to be desired-sounded either Indian or Nigerian. Please make sure to report it. BT doesn’t often reach out over the phone. Remember, it’s a total SCAM!

Like loads of others have said, I’m a BT customer and they said I’d get two months free line rental, they were going to send details by post. They had my name, address and postcode but then asked to check my bank details and to confirm my account number. I made up some excuse and told them to ring me back so I could look into the number first.

A woman with an Indian accent called claiming to be from BT accounts. She told me I was a valued customer and was eligible for a 35% discount plus free line rental. She even had my address and postcode correct. Then she asked me to confirm my bank’s name. Right there, I told her I never share personal info over the phone. I then said I knew it was a scam and she quickly ended the call. Just a heads up if you happen to get a call from 01615542222.

Got a call from an Asian chap named Michael claiming he was ringing from BT. He said I could get a discount and free line rental since I "always pay my bills promptly". He knew my postcode and the first line of my address, but then he messed up by giving my name - it was the one from the person who lived here 17 years ago! Didn’t even get the chance to say I haven’t been with BT for ages, so there’s no way I’m paying their bills. Definitely sounded like a dodgy scam to me.

Got a call from someone called Robin, with an Asian accent, claiming to be from BT and promising big discounts on my bill plus free line rental for 3 months. It sounded quite good so I asked him to give me an account number to verify. But as soon as I asked, he just hung up and now I can’t get through on the number he used. Also, he didn’t do the standard BT ID checks which felt a bit off.
