Phone number ☎️ 01639100209 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers claiming to be from BT offering a service to stop nuisance calls. Callers often use Indian or Eastern European accents, are sometimes silent or hang up abruptly if personal information is not provided. They appear to have some personal details but seek further sensitive data like date of birth or bank information, which users are advised not to disclose. The provided phone numbers are typically fake or disconnected, and the calls frequently include background noise suggesting a call centre operation. Victims report annoyance and concern, with recommendations to register with official services such as the Telephone Preference Service and BT's genuine nuisance call blocking options like Call Protect. Reporting to authorities like Action Fraud and Ofcom is advised.

Just like before, I told them it was a scam. A woman with an Indian accent answered and said, "ok No Problem." I shot back, "You ARE the problem!"

I got a call from a woman speaking with a really odd accent, maybe Eastern European, and her manner was pretty stiff and unnatural. She said something about a new scheme starting up in the UK to block annoying calls. She asked me to jot down the number 0800 150150. Then she mentioned I'd receive a permission letter in about 10 days and tried to confirm my address. I didn’t reply and just kept quiet, eventually she hung up - hopefully thinking I’d disconnected. There was loads of noise in the background, like a bloke chatting away while handling multiple calls.

I believe this is a fraudulent operation that definitely needs to be flagged with Action Fraud. It seems to me that the voice you’re hearing is likely a synthetic creation, designed to scrape information while interacting with you. If it doesn’t receive the appropriate response, it simply disconnects. What’s even more concerning is that you can't return the call either.

Got a call from this number earlier today, no one spoke and then a robot voice said goodbye. After seeing other reviews, I'd definitely advise caution.

This number claimed to be from BT and said they’d help me stop annoying calls, but it was all a scam. I reported it to Ofcom and also signed up with the Telephone Preference Service to stop these dodgy calls. Total rubbish!

Should you happen to be with BT, I highly recommend reaching out to them and signing up for their free nuisance call protection service. It’s quite straightforward-after receiving an unwanted call, simply ring 1572 and just follow the prompts. It takes mere seconds, just a couple of button presses, and voilà! That pesky number is blocked from bothering you again! Absolutely fantastic, isn’t it?

Some bloke called Owen rang me claiming to be from BT and tried to get my credit card details. Total scammer, watch out! I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask for that info. Definitely dodgy. If you get a call from someone named Owen saying he’s from BT, don’t give them anything. I just hung up straight away, didn’t trust it one bit.

I got a phone call from this number claiming to be BT, a woman with an Indian accent. She was telling me I could stop these annoying calls by calling 0800 150 150 to report them. She sounded quite persuasive, talking about how it was a free service especially aimed at elderly people, and then asked for my date of birth. Once I mentioned that BT wouldn’t ask for that info, she cut the call. Turns out 0800 150 150 isn’t even a BT number. Since I use Call Protect on 1572, I’ve now blocked 01639 100209 so it goes straight to junk next time!

Earlier today, just after nine o’clock, I had a rather unsettling phone call from this number. The caller inquired whether I wished to stop receiving nuisance calls by dialling 0800150150. He then asked if I settled my BT bill via direct debit and which bank I use, followed by a request for the date when the payment is deducted. Strangely enough, I don’t have a BT account, so I contacted BT to report the incident. They assured me that it was not their protocol to make such calls. I also reached out to my bank for peace of mind, and they reassured me that as long as I hadn’t shared any account details, I was safe from any potential fraud.

Had a rather peculiar phone call today. A gentleman claimed he was representing BT and informed me that I could dial 0800150150 to put an end to nuisance calls. He seemed to possess my name and address, which was a bit unsettling. He mentioned that this would be complimentary since I was supposedly an OAP, but when I countered that I wasn’t of that age group, he abruptly terminated the conversation. Quite dodgy if you ask me!

I had a call from a chap with an Indian accent who said he was representing BT. He assured me I wouldn’t be receiving any more nuisance calls. If I did, he instructed me to ring 0800 150150 to lodge a complaint. Strangely enough, that number used to be a free helpline for health-related queries, but they’ve seemingly shut it down, likely due to this dodgy operation. The number that 1471 in Neath provided also turned out to be a complete fabrication and doesn’t exist. I didn’t stick around long enough to understand how they manage to con people out of their cash with this ruse.

I received a call from a gentleman with an Indian accent purporting to be from BT, who assured me that I wouldn't receive any further nuisance calls. He also mentioned that should I encounter any issues, I could ring 0800 150150 to report them. Interestingly, I recall that number being associated with a healthcare helpline in the past; however, it seems to have been discontinued, likely due to this scam. Additionally, the Neath number provided through the 1471 service appears to be nonexistent as well. I didn’t stay on the line long enough to uncover the specifics of their money-making scheme, but it certainly raised some red flags.

I had a peculiar encounter with a chap who had a thick Indian accent, purporting to represent BT. He assured me that I wouldn’t receive any further nuisance calls, but if I did, I should call 0800 150150 to lodge a complaint. It’s rather amusing, as that number used to belong to a healthcare helpline, but it seems to have been shut down, likely due to this dodgy operation. Furthermore, the 1471 number from Neath that they provided turned out to be utterly fictitious and non-existent. I didn't stick around long enough to discover the ins and outs of how they manage to swindle unsuspecting victims. Quite the scandal, really!

I got a ring from someone claiming to be with BT, seemed really friendly at first and said they were helping loads of folks in the UK block unwanted calls. They said if I needed help, I could call an 0800 number they gave me. Then, they asked for some personal info to confirm who I was, but when I said no, they started shouting, so I just hung up on them.

A bloke with an Indian accent called me, saying he was calling from BT. He assured me I wouldn’t get any more annoying calls and told me if I did, I could ring 0800 150150 to report them. Funny enough, that number was once a free healthcare helpline, but they shut it down - probably 'cause of scams like this. Also, the Neath number 1471 they gave is bogus and doesn’t actually exist. I didn’t stay on the line long enough to work out exactly how they rip you off with this trick.

Don't share any info with these con artists! They try to sound all friendly, claiming to be from BT and say they're helping stop spam calls. They'll tell you to ring 0800150150 if you get annoying calls, which sounds legit enough. But the moment I refused to hand over my details, they just ended the call. They do seem to know bits like your name and where you live though. Definitely a scam, so stay sharp!

Called me at 15:30 on the 9th of January 2017, which was the second attempt within half an hour since I didn't answer the first. The chap claimed to be from BT, offering some free service to help prevent cold calls. He wanted to verify my details that he supposedly had displayed in front of him. I let him confirm my name, address, and phone number, and even mentioned my date of birth (1926). Then he made a big show of stating he knew I was settling my phone bill via Direct Debit and pressed me for my bank's name. At that point, I drew the line and declined to share. He seemed to stumble a bit, clearly sensing I was onto him, and promptly ended the call.

Rang me around ten past one this afternoon, had an Asian accent, introduced himself with an English name, and claimed he was from BT, supposedly to help stop those pesky cold calls-talk about cheek! I inquired how he intended to achieve that, and just like that, he hung up. He really could have put up more of a fight; I was ready to lead him on and take up his precious time! What a letdown. On another note, he managed to disturb my elderly mother, who's not in the best of health. So, I nearly hope he gives me another ring. The Telephone Preference Service is utterly useless.

Someone called claiming to be from BT offering a free service to stop nuisance calls. They already knew my name and address, which was a bit worrying.

Honestly, these people should be cracked down on but TPS can't do much, and ICO sounds like they couldn’t care less when you report stuff like this. Action Fraud just tosses you aside unless you’ve lost a big amount of cash, which is totally rubbish.

When I picked up, there was this really loud noise in the background, like super noisy. I heard a woman say “hello” like three times but then some huge crash noise blasted through the phone that was honestly ear-piercing. Before I could say anything, the call just cut off.
