On the 14th of June 2018, I got two calls from 01292269899, both times saying they were from BT Openreach. The day before, 13th June 2018, the number 01656849476 rang, but I didn’t pick up.

This number, 01656849476, has rung me up twice in the last week. Like others mentioned, they kept saying they were from BT and that my router was being used by somebody else. I told them that wasn’t possible as my network’s secured, and then they just ended the call. They called back again yesterday. Both times the person on the phone had an Asian accent, and the first time, their English was pretty awful.

Got two calls from someone claiming to be from BT Openreach, saying my internet was being used by another person. Problem is, we don’t even use BT. The lady had an Asian accent and then passed me over to a guy with an English name but his English was very poor. I told them straight it sounded like a scam and to stop calling me. They threatened to disconnect my internet in two business hours. Also got a call from 01292 269899 yesterday.

Got a call from an Asian bloke claiming to be from BT Openreach saying my internet would be cut off in a couple of hours. He told me people in places like Nigeria and China were using my router or something. Then he tried to get me to write down some stuff and get on my computer. I acted like I was actually sat at my PC but got pretty sharp with him since I reckon he knew I wasn’t. Have blocked the number now!

Been getting calls saying someone else is using our BT internet, sounds like a scam from what others have mentioned.

There was a brief silence before this Asian guy started talking, but I just cut in quickly, saying, “Hello? Who is this, and who’re you trying to reach?” Next thing I know, he’d already hung up on me.

There was a brief silence before a man with an Asian accent said he was ringing from BT concerning my internet. I told him I’m not a BT customer, but he kept on insisting that all internet companies are connected. I asked him what number he’d called me from and he replied by asking if I meant my number. When I pressed him again for his contact details, he just cut the call straight away.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent, saying she was from BT Openreach. She kept going on about strangers hacking into my internet and told me to block them on my computer. I said I'd ring Openreach myself since I didn’t know who she was, and then she just hung up. Definitely a scam, 100%!

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent pretending to be from BT, trying to get into my computer or grab personal details. They mostly target older folks, trying to trick them into giving out stuff like bank info. It's really urgent that phone and internet companies come up with some way to stop this sort of scam.

This number called me claiming to be BT, from India. I said to them that they’re breaking the law, specifically the data protection rules from 25th May 2018. Then, they just hung up on me, absolutely hilarious.

Got a call from a guy who said he was with BT, told me my internet would be cut off in like two hours unless I sorted something out immediately. I just told him to go ahead and disconnect the phone too, then maybe I’ll get some peace without all these scam calls ringing me up.

Phone rang at 2:46 pm, I never pick up calls from unknown numbers. Some folks mentioned it was an Asian woman, but trust me, it definitely wasn’t a woman at all.

So I got a call from a guy who said he was with BT, some Asian bloke, saying there was an issue with my internet. I asked him where he was ringing from and he said BT on Newgate Street in London. I told him the line was really dodgy and I was struggling to hear him properly, and if that was how good BT's phone lines were, it wasn’t a great sign. Then he just cut me off. About ten minutes later I got another call from the same number but nobody picked up when I answered.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from BT. She said there was some issue with my broadband and someone was using it without permission. I told her my provider isn’t BT at all. She then said BT is like the “parent company” for every internet provider in the UK. I repeated again that BT isn’t who I have. After hearing that, she just said "ok, fine" and ended the call. Like others have said, definitely felt like a scam.

Received a call from a woman with an Asian accent earlier today, who then handed me over to her "manager" called Kevin Williams. When I asked for their contact details, they gave me B.T Openreach’s number 0207356500 and an address at 31 Newgate Street, London 71A21. They claimed unauthorised users were on my internet and wanted me to press the CTRL key on my keyboard. I’m still hanging around to be disconnected, but the funny thing is, I’m not even a B.T customer!

Watch out if you get a call from someone claiming to be BT in India - a mate of mine got tricked into handing over £200 after the caller asked some very convincing security questions.

Today, I got a call from a woman, I think she was of Indian descent, saying she was calling for BT. She told me there were some unauthorised devices linked to my router and said if I grabbed my laptop, she’d show me how to install software to stop them getting on again. When I asked her to send me an email with the info so I could ring back after work, she just ended the call. It’s obviously a dodgy scam! Don’t waste your time - just hang up straight away!

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent saying she was from my internet provider, saying there was an issue with my connection. She wanted to help me install some software to stop unauthorised people using my service. I’m pretty sure that’s a scam trying to get me to download dodgy software, especially since it’s unlikely my landline is hacked. Ended the call straight away.

I just let it go to voicemail and then ended the call. Blocking seems pointless since they probably just switch to a different fake number the next day. I've got loads of numbers like this coming through anyway.

got a call from an asian woman saying she could cut down a 2 year payment I've got for some tv repair cover. I told her I dont think I have any such policy. Seems like this is the same number over and over making the same offer. asked her to email me the details and then I ended the call. won’t be surprised if nothing ever arrives. gonna block the number now.
