01618187195 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618187195 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers impersonating BT technical staff, often using strong South Asian accents. They claim internet lines are compromised or being used illegally, urging recipients to grant remote access to their computers or perform suspicious checks. They use realistic personal details and fake employee names and IDs to appear credible, sometimes threatening to disconnect service. Calls often come from unverified numbers, and emails purportedly from BT have also been reported but appear fraudulent. Vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly, are targeted, causing distress and financial risk. Genuine BT does not call unsolicited for such issues. It is strongly advised to avoid sharing personal information, reject remote access requests, and contact BT directly through official channels for verification.
Reports on phone number 01618187195
10 yearsSome bloke said he was calling from BT and wanted my number for a callback, but he just hung around on the line instead. Turns out, it was some Asian Michael Williams dude!BTMichael Williams10 yearsMy mum’s been crying on the phone to me after spending nearly an hour chatting to a woman from this company, only to find out it was a scam. I told her to get in touch with her bank straight away and let them know what happened. It’s awful really, my mum’s quite old and easily upset by things like this.10 yearsSomeone called saying they were from Manchester, but had a really thick Asian female accent. I mentioned both my computers were in the garage, and she started going on about how my connection was insecure or something. She said she'd have to disconnect my line till I followed her instructions and switched on my computer. When I told her I was using my neighbour’s laptop instead, she accused me of making it up. The number she called from showed up as unknown on 1471, even though she had all my personal details like names and addresses. The phone that rang and went unanswered was 016181871975. Makes me wonder if BT’s data has been compromised or not.ManchesterBT10 yearsThis bloke said he was a BT engineer and said my internet was faulty. He wanted me to switch on my computer so he could take over remotely and sort it out, or else my internet would get cut off. Complete con artists. When I told them I didn’t have a computer, they just ended the call immediately.10 yearsI just got a really scary ring from this number. It was a lady with an Asian accent, then she handed me over to a supervisor with a similar accent who sounded just as intimidating. They threatened to disconnect my internet within two hours and said it wouldn’t be restored for two whole months! They were quite pushy, telling me to turn on my laptop, and when I said no, they turned pretty rude. The supervisor introduced himself as Shane Wilton, which sounded very English, and gave an employee ID number 131059, saying my husband could call him back later. It really frightens me to think about older folks getting calls like this.Shane Wilton10 yearsI’ve gotten these dodgy calls a few times now, and it’s always blokes with really thick accents from somewhere like India or Pakistan. But this time it was a woman claiming to be from BT tech support in Manchester. She already knew my name, address, and postcode - the line actually sounded pretty clear too. She spun the same old tale about someone else fiddling with our router. She sounded legit at first, but then she started saying if I didn’t follow her instructions I could end up in jail. That’s when I knew for sure it was a total scam.Manchester10 yearsMy husband ended up giving his email to one of these callers today, and now I'm worried about what could happen next. Anyone else been in the same boat and know what kind of trouble this might cause?10 yearsSome person keeps calling me pretending they're from BT tech support, saying my computer’s been hacked. They've tried to get me to let them fix my PC at least five times now. Pretty annoying!BT Tech10 yearsGot a call saying my BT broadband was being hacked. They kept threatening to disconnect it if I didn’t follow their orders, but my internet’s still working fine. Such a dodgy scam.10 yearsGot a call saying my BT internet was being hacked. They kept warning me for about 10 minutes that they’d have to shut it down. Internet's still working fine though. Total rip-off.BT10 yearsWhat a load of rubbish! They said my internet service was about to be cut off and that I’d be blacklisted. Total scam. They pretended to be from BT, claiming my internet had been compromised. Seemed believable at first, even gave me some kind of Internet ID to verify... plus a phone number to call. Bet ringing it would have cost me a fortune, which I refused to do!BTSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 7195)
