9 yearsI got a call saying there was an issue with my laptop and they kept asking to access it. When I said no, they didn't give up and kept pressing me.9 yearsI've just received some rather alarming news regarding a phone call my elderly family member had with someone using this number. This individual pretended to be from Skype and managed to extract sensitive personal information from her, including bank details and passwords. They even convinced her to access her computer and input various codes, which gave them access to her Skype account. Unfortunately, it appears that around £100 has been siphoned from her bank account. To make matters worse, she's still being pestered by this person via email. It's incredibly concerning!Skype9 yearsSounds like one of those scams to me.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up, and once a guy who said he was "Christian" from "BT" called about my BT router. What he was saying was completely confusing, so I just ended the call. But now I keep getting calls that are completely silent. Pretty sure it's the same dodgy caller.ChristianBT10 yearsGot called by this number again, twice in just a few weeks. I could hear heavy breathing but no words, then they just ended the call. I've gone ahead and blocked them now.10 yearsThis is the second occasion within just a few weeks that I've had a call from this number. Each time, the caller remains silent and then disconnects. Quite perplexing, really!10 yearsIt's driving me mad, I've already had 3 phone calls this morning and it's not even 1pm yet. They keep saying they're from BT, but I'm not a customer of theirs so it’s obviously a scam. BT doesn't even bother to help, they’re completely useless about it.BT10 yearsSounds like one of those fake computer support scams. They call pretending there’s something wrong with your PC, but it’s all just a trick to get your info. Wouldn’t trust ’em at all.10 yearsSomebody rung to say they was from BT and my router was flashing an error or something like that. They told me to switch on my computer, even tho I was already using it. When I said I was on Safari cos I’ve got a Mac, they just ended the call straight away.BT10 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was with BT. Said there was an issue with our router and wanted to check our computer. I told him I was tied up and asked if he could ring back later, and he actually goes "are you having a laugh?" Bit weird and felt a bit off to me, so I just ended the call. Proper dodgy behaviour.BT10 yearsReceived a call from a chap with an Asian accent who claimed to be representing BT and discussing my computer. I promptly informed him that he was not being truthful and accused him of being deceptive. He ended the conversation rather abruptly.BT10 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Indian or Pakistani accent, claiming to be from BT’s Technical team about some issue with my router. I just hung up straight away.BT10 yearsToday, I got a couple of silent calls from this number, and then two more from it but starting with 001441 instead of just 0. Feels like it could be some kind of scammer ringing from overseas.10 yearsGot a call from a guy who sounded Indian or Pakistani, said he was with BT and that my computer had some alarms or a virus. I told him I don’t fall for scams and just hung up straight away.BT10 yearsToday I got two calls from this number, both completely silent. Then I noticed two more calls but this time the number started with 001441 instead of just 0. Pretty sure these are dodgy calls coming from abroad, not the UK.10 yearsIf someone rings saying they're from a company, dont ever reply straight away. Just put the phone down and look up the number on any official letter or bill you got. For those with BT, you can always ring 151 using a BT landline to check.BT10 yearsI got a call from someone with a really thick Indian or Pakistani accent saying my router was broken. When I asked him for his phone number, he just hung up on me. Couldn't understand much of what he was saying anyway.10 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Indian or Pakistani accent saying there were big issues with my router. She wouldn't answer any of my questions and just kept going on and on until I told her to get lost. Proper annoying. Another one for my scam list, without a doubt.IndiaPakistan10 yearsThis is defo another dodgy number, going straight on my block list!10 yearsGot a call from some bloke named Alex claiming my router needs replacing. I wasn’t having any of it and told him to basically shove it and maybe find a new con to run. Not the one for me!AlexMumbai10 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian or Pakistani accent claiming he was from BT. He kept insisting he needed to get into my computer for some reason.BT10 yearsGot a call from 01618189042 claiming to be BT, but it was just a scam to get into my computer. Definitely dodgy, so watch out!BT10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're with BT, said there was an issue with my browser. Sounded dodgy to me.BT10 yearsThey’re masquerading as British Telecom, claiming there's an issue with your router. I received a second call from them, and when I picked up, they just cut the line. Attempting to call back yields a message saying the number isn't connected. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!British Telecom10 yearsToday, this number called me a few times but I ignored it since I didnt recognise it. From what I’ve read on some sketchy sites, they say they’re from BT and say there’s an issue with your PC. Sounds like a scam trying to hack into your computer to me.BTSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 9042)
