8 yearsGot a call from someone who said "Hey, this is Sarah from Technical-" with a strong Indian accent. I just ended the call straight away since it was my work number, and if it were really from tech support, the number would have been one of our internal ones anyway.Sarah8 yearsI wouldn’t trust James from BT at all, seems dodgy to me. Bet that’s not even his real name. If you manage to keep him talking for a while, try asking what his mum and dad would say about him trying to make cash like that by scamming people.JamesBT8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT, seemed a bit dodgy and definitely sounded like one of those scammers. Just a heads up, don’t trust stuff like that.BT8 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone saying they were with BT’s ‘technical support’. They gave me an 0161 number from Manchester, claiming that’s where they were ringing from - totally false. I’m not even a BT customer, but they said it didn’t matter because apparently all internet traffic runs through BT? Pretty obvious their next step was to get me to log into some dodgy site. Tried contacting BT afterwards but they didn’t seem to have a clue or care about it, especially since I’m not their customer. Absolutely ridiculous. Scam alert - stear well clear!BT8 yearsSome bloke from BT, name was "James" but last time it was "Colin", rang me last week saying there’s something wrong with my internet at home. He paused like he expected me to freak out, but I just told him to go on. Of course, he started asking for my password and stuff. It’s a business line and we’ve got a proper IT team, so I just let him ramble for a bit before telling him he was talking to a business number and I knew he was a complete scammer. How on earth do these muppets keep getting through?! Someone really needs to sort this out.JamesColinBT8 yearsI got a call from this number, and the person on the other end spoke with an Indian accent. They claimed to be from BT and started asking for my account info and passwords. When I got suspicious and asked some questions, they just abruptly ended the call. I decided to call BT myself and told them what happened. They confirmed it’s a scam, and these folks are trying to hack into people’s internet connections. Apparently, it doesn’t matter if you actually have an account with BT or not, they still target you.BT8 yearsGot a ring earlier from a bloke with an Asian accent, saying there were problems with my internet security. He wanted to know if he was talking to the person who owns the house. I told him no, and he asked who was really in charge. I said he should already have that info on his records. Then he just cut the call. Later on, another call came through from a different number, same sort of thing.8 yearsSo, I got a call from someone named Kevin claiming he was with British Telecom, but he's actually from India, not Grimsby like he said. I just told him straight up that he was a spammer and then blocked the number and ended the call.KevinBritish TelecomIndia8 yearsGot a call from someone named James saying there’s a problem with my BT service. I told him to stop calling. Then, about a minute later, he rings again saying BT sent me an email last night and told me to switch on my computer. I just checked my emails and there’s nothing there. Told him not to bother calling anymore. These kinds of calls really need to be put to an end.JamesBT8 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman claiming my security is seriously at risk and they somehow know about it, even though I have no clue. I've blocked the number now. This is the second time I've had one of these annoying calls. It’s awful to think how many elderly or trusting folks might fall for these scams!8 yearsGot a call on our home phone earlier today and, like always, they hung up sharp when the answer machine picked up. Probably a fake number showing up as Staines, so don’t think it’s actually from there. These crooks have their machines ring a load of numbers at once, so I made the answerphone pick up super quick, like after just two rings. Hoping it winds them up a bit since our line is usually the first to get through!StainesEngland8 yearsThis number keeps phoning me about BT and it's driving me mad. Sometimes I just stay quiet until they put the phone down, other times I let out some choice words, depends on my mood!8 yearsGot a call from a woman, sounded Asian, claiming she was with BT’s tech team. She said she was calling to fix some internet issues we apparently had. As soon as I told her there was no problem, she just ended the call.BT8 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from BT, said he was there to fix my internet. He asked how I was, and I hit back asking how many folks he’d conned so far today. We went back and forth for a couple of minutes, me straight up telling him I wasn’t buying any of his nonsense and he wasn’t getting a penny. He kept insisting he was legit and working for BT to sort out my internet troubles. Eventually, he just gave up and hung up.BT8 yearsThey repeated my number a couple of times but I didn’t answer. Then they just hung up on me - how rude is that! :-D8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said she was from BT, claiming our internet had some issue. Told her there was no problem and she just ended the call.BT8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from BT, saying there was some problem with my internet. Told him everything was fine on my end, then just put the phone down before he could try any dodgy tricks.BT8 yearsA guy with an accent rang up saying he was from BT Openreach. Before he started his usual routine, I cut him off and said we don’t have any issues, then hung up. I tried calling the number back but it wasn’t valid - no shock there. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call earlier from a bloke claiming he was from BT. I told him to jog on straight away. Just like others mentioned, it sounds dodgy to me. Don’t trust these types!BT8 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be British Telecom, saying they got a message from my router about some kind of fault. As if! I don’t even use BT as my service provider. I’ve already put their number on silent.BT8 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming he was from BT, saying there was an issue with my internet. When I told him I don’t even have BT as my provider, he just hung up on me.BT8 yearsGot a call but there was no one on the line, just dead silence. Pretty odd experience!8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT about my internet, but they sounded like scammers from overseas. They kept asking to get into my computer. Even after telling them off a bunch of times, they just kept calling again and again. Virgin say there’s nothing they can do, and I’m even signed up with the TPS, but these irritating nutters keep ringing non stop.BTChinaVirginTelephone Preference Service8 yearsNot a single word was said.8 yearssomeone called claiming they were from bt about my internet, i just hung up without saying anything, wouldnt trust that call.BT8 yearsGot loads of calls today from someone claiming to be British Telecom, but the person on the line had a weird foreign accent. Told them to buzz off, yet they ended up calling me again when I was out. Proper annoying.British Telecom8 yearsThey ring me, but as soon as I pick up, they just put the phone down without saying a word.Submit Your Own Report (01784 249348)
