Reports on phone number 01618188421
7 yearsJust got a call from this number and instantly knew it was dodgy. They were trying to convince me it was about some Windows virus or Trojan, but I didn’t fall for it. Definitely sounded like a scam, so watch out if you get called by them!Naked SecuritySophos8 yearsGot a call from a woman named Lisa who said she was with BT, saying my computer was picking up harmful viruses. I told her straight away that it’s a common scam and said she ought to be embarrassed. She hung up after that.LisaBT8 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from the technical team at BT, stating that my internet security had been breached and that they could assist in rectifying the issue. The number that appeared was 01780387579.BT8 yearsGot a call from someone with a heavy accent claiming there was an issue with my internet. I told him I was heading out and needed a contact number to ring back. He gave me this number, which clearly isn't BT. He said his name was Alex Morgan, which sounds like a common alias used by this number. I won't be calling back and plan to block both this number and 09241626040, the one that initially rang me.Alex Morgan8 yearsReceived two calls purporting to be from the technical support team at BT, warning me that my internet security had been breached. They offered to rectify the issue for me.BT8 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from BT, warning me that my internet connection has been breached and is currently vulnerable.BT8 yearsToday, I got three calls from someone named "Marie" even though I kept blocking her number each time. She claimed my internet and all connected devices were infected and said she was ringing from BT. After that, I was passed onto Brian, the supervisor, who gave me the number 01618188421. I’m learning how to hold these scammers on the line longer so they don’t fool anyone else.MarieBTBrian8 yearsFirst got a guy claiming to be from IT, then some supervisor, and finally a manager all introduced themselves as Brian Morgan from 01618188421. He said my computer was hacked by a few foreign IPs and was trying to trick me into handing over my bank info. Funny enough, my mouse stopped working the previous evening so I couldn’t follow any of his steps. Was on the phone for over an hour, and honestly, he seemed pretty genuine. I tried ringing back later but got nothing.Brian Morgan8 yearsGot a call from someone named Alan Jones, sounded Asian, said he’s from BT tech support. He claimed there were some weird alarm alerts on my CPU and wanted my CSL number. I wasn’t buying it so I played along and asked for his BT number - he gave 0161 818 8421. He sounded pretty legit though, no wonder folks fall for this kinda thing.Alan JonesBT8 yearsJust had a ring from 0161 8188421, some bloke with a foreign accent saying he was James Edwards from BT tech support. The moment I told him I was checking the number, he ended the call sharpish. The number showed up as an international one too. Honestly, these calls are really getting on my nerves!James EdwardsBT Technical Support8 yearsGot a call from a number showing as international, some bloke called Marvin Edwards claiming to be from BT's tech team. He said they detected some errors with our internet connection. I said I wouldn’t mess with anything on my computer without checking with BT first. Asked him for a contact number and he gave me 0161 818 8421. Yeah, no way I’m ringing that back!Marvin EdwardsBT8 yearsI got a call from 01258 963254, some bloke with a funny accent and a really scratchy line. He was talking about something to do with my BT service, though at first I thought he said international, maybe it was internet - not too sure. When I asked for his number, he told me 0161 818 8421. Pretty sure I’ve had a ring from that same one about a week ago but didn't bother looking into it. Honestly, BT’s system is rubbish for scams, they just hand your calls straight over to scammers without any proper checks whatsoever.BT8 yearsSome weird call from "BT" trying to hack into my PC, really strange. Luckily, I didn’t get caught up in it!!! Haha!8 yearsHad this guy ring me claiming to be from BT support about some internet issue. He obviously didn’t know I work in IT. I played along a bit just to see what he was up to because it was clear it was a scam. If you ever get a call like this, just tell them someone’s knocking at your door and you’ll call back - then ask for their number. When you ring it, you can check if they’re legit or not. Watch out for these con artists, they’re sneaky!BT8 yearsGot a call from someone named Jenny on 01784 249348 claiming it was a one-off BT call to sort out my internet issues. When I asked for her work info (bit suspicious since I also work at BT), she just ended the call after giving me this number first. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.JennyBT8 yearsThis bloke was telling me to enter some code on my computer. I played along like I did it, then mentioned I’d looked up the number he gave me which supposedly was from 'BT'. Turns out, it showed as a scam! He kept insisting he was legit but I just ended the call.8 yearsSolid advice here. These scammers ring up pretending to be from something called TeamView, trying to get you to turn on remote access to your computer. I saw a documentary on telly where someone actually fell for it, and the crooks ended up with all their info saved on their PC. If you've got payment details saved for places like eBay or Amazon, they’ll swipe every penny they can. Your cash vanishes real quick. Best thing is just to avoid answering or giving them any access.AmazoneBay8 yearsJust like the others have said, I'd say watch out for 01618188421 - it seems to be the same thing going round.8 yearsGot a call from some scammer.8 yearsI got a ring on 01782278689 and when I asked them for a number to call back, they gave me this one. Definitely a scam!8 yearsJust like others here, they said they were from BT, but I wasn't convinced. When I asked questions, they handed me a number to ring back. I haven’t dialled it yet, but something tells me it’s not a genuine BT contact.BT8 yearsi got a call from someone who said they were with bt and told me my router was having issues. they wanted me to let them on my computer to put on some security software. i told them it seemed dodgy and the person, who sounded like they were from abroad, just ended the call. the number they called from was 0034620272830, and when i asked about it, they told me to ring bt on 01618188421 - which i quickly realised wasn't a real bt customer service number.BT8 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman claiming to be from BT about a supposed issue with our router, which is actually all fine. I asked for her phone number and she gave me this one. Tried ringing BT back but every line was tied up!BT8 yearsSomebody rang claiming to be from BT about issues with our router, said they spotted a problem. When I started asking stuff, the person couldn’t give me any answers and just hung up. I wanted a number to call them back, something like 01618188421, so I could check with BT directly but they disappeared. I even told them if they really worked for BT they should sort their awful phone line, it was so bad. I then used 141 to hide my number and called back, and the number that came up was 0808164302.BT8 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from BT's tech support, saying my number had virus problems because my wifi was supposedly unsafe. They wanted me to log in straight away so they could help fix it. I told them my wifi was fine and I wasn’t going to log on to anything because I didn’t trust them and suspected a scam. They just wished me a good day and didn’t try to prove they were actually from BT or argue with me. They weren’t rude, just quite pushy, trying to scare me into doing what they said.BT8 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from BT tech support, claiming he could sort out my computer. I played along for a while, but then he got proper rude and just cut me off. Such a waste of time!BT8 yearsGot a call from Durham and when I asked about it being some kind of scam about the internet (they said they were from BT Openreach), they handed me this number to ring back. Seemed fishy to me.BT OpenreachDurhamSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 8421)
