01618305815 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618305815 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call from someone impersonating BT or official agencies, often with an Indian or South Asian accent. The callers try to convince people their internet or computer is at risk and demand access, sometimes threatening disconnection or legal action. Several have reported rude or suspicious behaviour, use of fake employee numbers, and attempts to sound official by giving real agency contact details that end in hang-ups. The common goal appears to be gaining remote control over computers or stealing personal info. Some victims, especially elderly, were threatened with home repossession claims. Calls often hang up abruptly when challenged or after warnings of police involvement. Users describe crackly lines, withheld numbers and repeated calls within short periods.
Reports on phone number 01618305815
9 yearsMy folks got a call from this number, someone claiming to be from BT saying they had to access their computer. A couple of hours later, the same number called back threatening to disconnect their service if they didn’t let them in. Just a heads up to watch out for this!BT9 yearsSo this guy with an Indian accent called me, said I was caught downloading some dodgy files and my service would be disconnected in a couple of weeks. I just shrugged it off, had a quick shower, and left the phone hanging.India9 yearsThis number got in touch with my father-in-law, and fortunately, we managed to break into the conversation after about an hour. An Asian chap on the line asserted he was representing BT, yet he couldn't provide a departmental code or anything resembling a proper employee ID. We're now in the midst of sorting out the mess that was left behind, as some bank information was unfortunately left out in the open on the desk.BT9 yearsI received a rather alarming call from a chap named David, his accent clearly indicating he hails from India. He claimed to represent BT and ominously informed me that my internet connection was set to be cut off imminently-in as little as two hours! He went on to say that I could be without service for a week. Then, just like that, the line went dead. Quite the unsettling conversation, I must say!DavidIndiaBT9 yearsA gentleman with an Indian or Pakistani accent made some rather alarming threats towards an elderly woman in Rotherham, insisting he possessed the deeds to her residence and had purchased it seven years prior. He proclaimed that his family was set to move in just the following day. However, the pensioner's daughter took charge of the situation, confronting the scammer. She informed him that her husband is a solicitor and they would vigorously contest any bogus claims against her mother. Following this, the caller abruptly ended the conversation.Rotherham9 yearsGot three calls from this number today, but every time it just dropped out when it hit my voicemail.9 yearsI received a rather dodgy phone call recently. The individual at the other end, who claimed to represent BT, insisted that they are the primary internet provider for all companies. When I pressed for a contact number to verify their identity, the caller - who identified herself as Gracie Martin and provided an employee ID of DC069 - offered me a number (02032397679) to confirm her legitimacy. However, when I called that number and shared her employee ID, the person on the line promptly hung up! It has raised my concerns that they might be trying to access computers remotely for nefarious purposes and swipe sensitive information.BTGracie Martin9 yearsA rather dubious caller purporting to be from the National Crime Agency rang me, claiming they’d detected some suspicious actions on my computer. When I told them I didn’t own a computer, they rather cheekily provided me with what seemed to be the genuine number for the National Crime Agency (I made sure to verify it). When I pressed them on how they could allege I owned a computer if I clearly didn’t, they unceremoniously hung up. One can only suspect they were attempting to gain access to my device for nefarious reasons.National Crime Agency9 yearsI received a rather fuzzy call from a woman with a rather strong Indian accent, claiming to be from BT regarding my internet service. I informed her that I don’t actually use BT, to which she insisted that BT is the backbone of all internet providers and that essentially, everyone relies on them. I wasn't keen on the conversation, so I decided to hang up.BT9 yearsA chap with a distinct Indian lilt rang me up, claiming to be representing BT, insisting there was some sort of hacking issue on my computer. I quickly told him, "You're definitely not from BT, and I’m not gullible enough to fall for this nonsense." Then I promptly hung up. Sorted!BT9 yearsThis number keeps calling me but never bothers to pick up when I answer.9 yearsi got a call from someone with an indian accent claiming to be from bt, but i aint even with them. he said my phone line would be out of action for like 4 or 5 days. as soon as i said i'd check with my provider, he just ended the call.BT9 yearsI picked up since it didn’t show a number, but there was nothing but quiet on the other end.9 yearsReceived a rather troubling call from 01618305815 today, claiming there were issues with my internet service. When I mentioned that I'm not a BT customer, the lady on the line turned quite unpleasant. I calmly informed her that I was documenting the conversation and intended to report it to the police, at which point she promptly disconnected. The name she provided was Gracie. Quite the experience!Gracie9 yearssome bloke rang me saying he was from bt. as soon as i told him i wasn’t with bt, he just hung up right away. then later that same day, i got two more calls where the number was hidden but i could hear a similar background sound. everytime i said hello, they’d cut off straight away. weird stuff.BT9 yearsI received a rather curious call from an individual with a distinct accent, claiming to be an officer. They ominously mentioned a complaint lodged against my business. It seems a Chinese firm has somehow been using my email for their trading activities. If only I'd scored a complimentary meal out of this or perhaps found myself in a whimsical realm like Never Never Land!9 yearsI’ve been receiving dodgy calls trying to convince me to switch on my computer, claiming that my device is being hacked. It’s definitely them trying to pull a fast one!Submit Your Own Report (0161 830 5815)
