5 yearsCaller spoke with an Indian accent and it definitely sounded like a scam.Caller9 yearsI got a call from someone called Shaun Davies, said he was from BT. He told me that strange people were getting into my internet and trying to mess with my computer. Not sure if it’s legit or just some scam.Shaun DaviesBT9 yearsI got a ring from 01384 926894 saying they were from BT, warning me that my computer was hacked or something. They then gave me a 0161 number to 'verify' that the 01384 was legit BT. What a load of rubbish! Total scam, don’t fall for it!BT9 yearsI nearly fell for this ruse thanks to some ongoing issues with my router. When I inquired how she was aware of my troubles, her response was rather ambiguous. The woman, who introduced herself as Emma Wilson, had a very strong Indian accent. I requested her contact number, which she provided. I then mentioned I’d be calling BT to verify her claims, to which she insisted I shouldn’t end the call. Naturally, I hung up and did a bit of research on the number. To my dismay, it was flagged as a scam. She rang back straight away, but I chose to ignore her.Emma WilsonBT9 yearsI nearly fell for it, especially since I've been struggling with some router glitches lately. However, when I probed her about how she was aware of my technical woes, her answers were rather wishy-washy. The name she gave was Emma Wilson, but her accent was distinctly Indian. When I requested her phone number, she obliged, but then I mentioned my intention to contact BT for verification. At that point, she insisted I shouldn’t disconnect the call. Naturally, I hung up and did a bit of digging on the number... and lo and behold, it was a scam! She rang back straight away, but I chose to ignore it.Emma WilsonBT9 yearsGot a ring from 02076506432 saying they were from BT. The person said their name was Angel Williams and mentioned a manager called Karen, giving me a 0161 number and some BT ID. I said I'd ring BT directly to check, which didn’t sit well with them - they threatened to disconnect my internet. Luckily, my connection’s still fine. Really unpleasant experience.BTAngel WilliamsKaren9 yearsJust like others mentioned, I asked for a number to ring them back and she told me it was 0161.9 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be BT, saying there was suspicious activity on my internet. They wanted all my login info. When I asked for his name, he said "Shawn" Daniels and gave me a reference number too. Totally a scam, so watch out!ShawnDaniels9 yearsHad a dodgy call that felt like a phishing scam, definitely not to be trusted.9 yearsYesterday this number rang me a couple of times pretending to be from BT, saying someone was trying to hack into my internet and asking me to log into a site. I told them I was tied up and would get back to them. I then got in touch with BT who said it had nothing to do with them and it was likely a scam. The number called me once more later on, and when I mentioned I’d spoke with BT, they just hung up on me.BT9 yearsOn the 5th of October 2017, I received a call from this number. The person claimed to be from BT and told me my broadband was at risk. They asked me to log into my BT account so they could verify my account number and warned that if I didn't cooperate, my service would be disconnected. Of course, I ignored their demands and my line is still up and running.BT9 yearsI’ve had a right palaver with these fraudulent callers pretending to be from BT! They initially rang and got cut off when my mum didn’t believe them. Surprisingly, they decided to ring back and managed to persuade her they were indeed from BT. Before we knew it, they had remote access to the computer, having installed Teamviewer and AnyDesk under the guise of needing to sort out some 'essential' antivirus software. Then came the cheeky request for payment! Thankfully, we wised up in time, didn’t part with any cash, and swiftly removed all those dodgy apps, as well as changing all our passwords. What a close shave!BTAnyDesk9 yearsI got a call from this number claiming to be BT, saying there was an issue with my BT broadband. They started asking if my internet was working and stuff. I told them to prove who they were by giving me my BT account number. They did give me some number, then mentioned something about an internet licence number, so I asked for that too, plus the number they were calling from. After that, I just ended the call and rang BT myself by dialling 100. BT confirmed there was nothing wrong with my internet at all.BTSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 8583)
