8 yearsThis number's definitely dodgy, best not to answer it at all. They might keep ringing you loads but just ignore them and eventually they'll stop or you can block it. If you get really annoyed and answer, just hang up straight away. They’re not legit, definitely not to be trusted - don’t get tricked by them.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Accident Management Solutions, saying I’d been in a car accident recently - which is rubbish, I haven’t had a single accident for over 7 years! When I questioned where they got my details from and why they were contacting me, they just ended the call straight away.Accident Management Solutions8 yearsI usually ignore calls from Manchester since I don't have any mates there. After I get the call, I look them up online. Cheers to everyone who shared their thoughts. Pretty sure this was just another scam attempt. I've now blocked it along with over 250 other numbers from all over the UK.ManchesterUK8 yearsGot a call on 27/10/2018 but never picked up. Looked it up here and it’s marked as unsafe. I’ve just blocked that number. Cheers!8 yearsCaller was definitely trying their luck scamming some poor BT customer. Best to steer clear of them completely.BT8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Thomas Wilson from BT Openreach, but he had a really thick Indian accent. He was asking me to download some .exe file onto my laptop, but I refused. When he wanted to know what was showing on my screen, I just told him "[#]who-called[###][###]", and then out of nowhere he suddenly ended the call. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Thomas WilsonBT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from 0161 747 1486, some bloke with a thick accent pretending to be from BT about my internet. I told him he was talking nonsense since I don't even use BT for my internet, then just ended the call. Annoying nuisance, so I've blocked the number now.BT8 yearsToday alone I’ve had James from BT Openreach ring me three times! My internet’s been playing up, but when I said I’m not even with BT and asked why he needed access to my internet, he just hung up on me. Definitely feels like a total scam!JamesBT OpenreachBT8 yearsThey rung me up 3 times over just two days. When I told them off, the person on the line started cursing, being rude and chuckling weirdly. Then they tried to scare me, saying every second on the phone was costing me money from my bank. Definitely a scam. Stay safe and don’t share any of your info with them.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from BT Openreach. He told me there was some issue with my internet line. Thing is, I'm with Virgin, not BT at all. Seems dodgy to me, probably a phishing attempt.BT OpenreachVirgin Media8 yearsGot two calls from an Asian guy claiming to be with BT, saying my internet had loads of errors. Thing is, I don't even use BT at home so it was obviously some kind of scam. When I questioned him, he just ended the call. Tried ringing back the number but it’s just unknown.

When I checked it out here, turns out it’s one of those common cold-callers. Since they didn’t say anything, it seemed quite annoying to me, so I’ve tagged it as harassment - I reckon all those cold calls are just nuisances anyway!8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an accent saying something about my internet service. I wasn’t even aware this was a business line! The odd part? She never called back, and when I checked, the number had no links whatsoever to BT, who actually handle my internet. Bit strange really.BT8 yearsGot a call from a guy named James, sounded Indian, saying he was with BT Openreach. He said there was a problem with my internet.
