9 yearsJust got a call from this number but they didn’t leave any message. Looked it up here and apparently it’s risky. Tried to block it on my phone, but the caller ended the call before I could hit the block option. Quite suspicious!9 yearsI got a ring from this number, some bloke with an Indian accent claiming he was with BT. He started jabbering about some techy stuff to do with my internet, but it was all gibberish (and I actually work in IT, got a computer science degree to prove it). Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it.BT9 yearsThey called before 8 in the morning and ended up waking everyone up. Said they were from BT about ‘my computer’ but the connection was awful. When I told them they’d disturbed us, they only went quiet and said ‘ok.’ I’m not a BT customer and don’t even own a computer.BT9 yearsThey rang me at 7:45 this morning but I didn’t manage to get to the phone in time.9 yearsHad a call earlier today from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from BT. He mentioned something about an issue with my line, but I couldn’t really follow what he was saying, so I just ended the call.9 years##### complete con from 01738638815 ##### I got a call on my landline from someone saying they were from British Telecom (BT). it was a total con job, they said my internet was showing errors because my computer had a virus. obviously a scam! they wanted me to let them put software on my computer to get remote access. i reported it here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud and also at http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/itps/index.html. I was a bit worried at first but then realised BT would never handle things that way, plus my internet’s with Sky not BT. total scam, watch out!British TelecomBTSky9 yearsThis reeks of a social engineering scam, plain and simple. They'll attempt to alarm you with fake computer or internet issues, which are merely routine logs that anyone with a device would encounter. Their aim? To coax you into downloading TeamViewer under the guise of resolving these supposed problems. Steer clear of this at all costs! By doing so, they can seize control of your machine and potentially bypass certain security measures your bank has in place for online banking and credit card activities. Stay vigilant and protect your devices!9 yearsBeware, this is a classic social engineering scam. They'll claim there's some problem with your internet or computer, but it’s just normal system notifications. Then they’ll ask you to download TeamViewer to “sort it out”. Don’t fall for it - once they get remote access, they can control your PC and might bypass the security your bank has for your online account or credit card. Stay safe and don’t let them in!TeamViewer9 yearsI got a call from a bloke speaking with an Indian accent, saying he was from BT. He told me there was some kind of issue with "packets of junk viruses" being sent through my phone line to my PC. When I asked how he got my number, he couldn’t say, and honestly the whole story sounded like complete nonsense, especially since he's not even with my internet provider. Seemed like a proper scam.BT9 yearshad a ring this morning from some bloke called kevin, sounded indian, saying bt had picked up some internet issues on my line. he asked me to turn on my pc. i was about to fall for it until i snapped out of it, what i told him was not exactly polite. bloody risky these scams!KevinIndiaBT9 yearsthis morning i got a call from someone saying they were from bt and needed to get into my computer. i knew straight away it was a scam. when i told her i wasn’t daft, she got really rude and started shouting at me.BT9 yearsLoads of calls coming through from BT, but I reckon theyre just scams trying to get my info. Be careful if you get a call from them!BloominBT9 yearsHad a rather dubious phone call purporting to be from BT, insisting that my internet was throwing up errors because of some virus on my machine. Utter nonsense! Tried to inform them that I actually have a Virgin Media fibre connection and that I'm quite knowledgeable in IT matters, but they just wouldn’t take my word for it. The person on the other end was insufferably rude, dismissing my expertise outright. It’s clear that this was nothing but a scam - unprofessional, ignorant, and almost certainly a blatant fraud.BTVirgin Media9 yearsSo, this morning around 9.30am, my phone buzzed while I was outside watering my window plants. I missed the call and it had already stopped ringing before I could answer. Since the number looked unfamiliar, I decided to look it up here before ringing back. Really pleased I did!10 yearsEarlier today, I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying she was from BT. She asked me to switch on my computer, which seemed really dodgy to me. I'd seriously advise against doing what they say - it's definitely some kind of scam. Just hang up straight away!BT10 yearsI rang the work number and when they answered, they just ended the call. Proper annoying lot.10 yearsGot a ring earlier from a woman with an asian accent saying she was from BT checking on my internet. She told me to power up my PC but as soon as I said I wasn’t having any issues, she just ended the call. Blocked the number straight away.BT10 yearsThis morning around 9.15, I got a call but when I picked up, there was no one there.10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT, saying there was an issue with my router. The guy, who had an Indian accent and said his name was Kevin, asked me to get on my computer and follow his steps. When I asked for a number to ring him back, he got dodgy but after a bit gave me 0800 957 923. He just hung up on me when I kept asking questions.BTKevin10 yearsI got a call from this number yesterday, but when I answered there was just a really long beep. Tried ringing back later and it only went to an answerphone saying "this is an answering machine please leave a message." Bit strange if you ask me.10 yearsI answered the phone this morning around 8, but the other end was silent and no one spoke!Submit Your Own Report (01738 638815)
