01784512988 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01784512988 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number impersonating BT technical support, often using foreign accents and dubious English. Callers falsely claim internet faults, malware, or potential service disconnections, pressuring recipients to grant remote access or provide personal information. Many have experienced rude or aggressive behaviour when challenged, and repeated calls cause concern for vulnerable individuals. The number may be linked to phone number spoofing and nuisance call companies. Users strongly advise blocking and reporting these calls, advising caution and never sharing details or allowing remote access. Legitimate providers do not make unsolicited calls about internet issues, so vigilance and scepticism are essential to avoid falling victim to this ongoing scam.

Didn’t recognise the number so I just let it ring out. This is actually the second call I’ve gotten from them today. Pretty clear it’s just some dodgy scam, no doubt about it.

Got a call earlier from someone saying they were with BT, warning me my phone would be disconnected because of malware. Complete nonsense! I just hung up straight away. By the way, has anyone else here had any contact with EE before getting calls like this? Curious if there's any link.

Just got a call from 01784512988, a guy with an Indian accent claiming he was from BT. He said my internet would be disconnected in two days because my computer supposedly had some malware or something. I told him to do one and hung up. Seriously, why doesn’t BT just block numbers like this? It’s a bloody menace and only fools anyone, especially older folks.

Got a call from someone with an Asian Canadian accent, said his name was "David" and he was from Talk Talk's tech team. Honestly, these scammers are just disgusting. I ended up telling him off and hanging up straight away.

Got a call from this number claiming there was an issue with my BT internet. When I tried to find out where they were calling from, the answer was so rushed I couldn’t catch it at all. Asked them to say it again and they snapped back asking if I was hard of hearing. Then, I dared to ask if it was a scam and they suddenly got really rude. They started calling me names like I was thick or couldn’t understand, then told me to basically ‘go away’ in a much less polite way before just hanging up on me. Proper dodgy!

So this morning, 8th of June, got a call from someone trying to pause my broadband for three months. I said fine, disconnect it then. Next thing she wants me to switch on my computer so she can “show me viruses messing with my service” - honestly, I couldn’t stop laughing! I just ended the call straight away. Honestly, they must think we’re total mugs! Get a grip, people.

Just got a call from this number, and it’s the second dodgy call I’ve had today! Some bloke with a strong Asian accent claimed my BT broadband would be shut off for ten days. I told him that was complete rubbish and hung up straight away. Makes me worry that older folks or vulnerable people might fall for this nonsense!

Got a call from some woman claiming to be from BT’s tech support about my PC. She had a really strong Indian accent, made it pretty tricky to catch what she was saying. Out of nowhere, she started chuckling then just dropped the call. Proper odd. I was tempted to mess around and keep her on the line but maybe I’ll get the chance another time.

I received a dodgy phone call purporting to be from the BT tech support team. It’s clearly a scam - they’re just trying to fish for information from your computer. Be wary!

I've received a couple of calls from this number within just thirty minutes! They claim to be offering technical assistance. I made it clear that I want them to stop calling. If I ever need help with my computer, I've got quite a few family members who can sort that for me. It really is about time we had the option to permanently block these pesky callers. If we can manage to send people to the moon and back, surely it can’t be too much to ask to have a phone number blocked for good!

I've received yet another call from this number-my seventh in just a matter of days! They purport to be from BT's Technical Support, insisting there's an issue with my internet. I flat out told them I recognise it as a scam and that I'll be taking it to the authorities, but alas, that doesn’t seem to deter them from calling back. What a nuisance! -KJ.

Like others have mentioned, this was definitely a scam. A man with an Asian accent claimed to be from BT, warning me that my broadband would be suspended for 10 days and asked if I knew why. Before he could go further with his story, the call just dropped. When I dialled the number back, an automated message said it was being misused and urged me to report it to BT because the number was being "spoofed." I did report it, and BT have now blocked the number for me.

I had a laugh messing about with these annoying callers. I’m a software dev with 30 years under my belt, so I twist them into all sorts of tech chat. Occasionally I pick up saying “Fraud department at Scotland Yard, what’s your problem?” and they hang up pretty quick. Absolute little cheats, I tell ya.

Some bloke calling from abroad, but with a proper English name. I reckon this was the sixth time he'd rang, saying there was an issue with our internet. I just told him to bugger off and hang up.

Got a call from some bloke named Adam, sounded Asian, said my internet was riddled with viruses and all sorts of issues. I only picked up because the number looked legit. These scammers are so bold, trying to con you and acting like they're doing you a favour. Would it kill them to be a bit polite? I just nicely told him to jog on.

Got a call this morning at 8 o'clock from someone named Alex claiming to be from BT. The bloke had an Asian accent but an English name, which seemed off. It was pretty much the same old scam that others have mentioned before. I told him straight up that he was a total scammer and slammed the phone down. They really should be caught and dealt with properly, it’s about time they faced the law.

Rang me up at the crack of dawn, around 8 in the morning, purporting to be from BT, and said they were about to cut off my internet for three whole months! I told them to pack it in with their tall tales and never to call me again. Clearly, it’s some sort of dodgy scam.

Got a call supposedly from BT saying my internet would be turned off for a couple of months because apparently someone’s been spying on me through it. I instantly knew it was a scam since the number’s area code was from the place I used to live. Needless to say, that number is blocked now.

Most of the time they claim to be from BT IT support, telling me they’ll cut off my broadband unless I let them fix the problem on my computer. What annoys me the most is that I’m on the TPS register, but these lads still manage to ring me. I even called BT yesterday to complain, and they said they’d block the number. Honestly, why can’t these scammers just be stopped? I’m getting really fed up having to either ignore my landline or deal with these annoying calls.

This number is definitely trying to scam folks, claiming they're from BT. When I told them I wasn't even a BT customer and asked them to send any issues in writing, they just ended up hanging up on me. I've been getting calls from them at least twice daily, it's really annoying.

a bloke rang claiming to be from bt, saying i had a virus or something on my computer. i told him i didn't even have a pc nearby, so he started telling me to ask my doctor or borrow one off a mate next door. i got suspicious and said it sounded like a scam, then told him rudely to buzz off.

On the morning of 18th May 2017, about 10 am, I picked up a call from a local number. A man with an Indian accent said his name was Adam and claimed to be from BT, saying there was a problem with my internet. I explained I had no issues and called him a blatant liar before quickly ending the call.

So I got a call with this strong Asian accent telling me my internet was about to get cut off. They said something about the app needing to be active for 3 months or something. I kept listening for a bit but then the bloke got fed up and just hung up on me. Weird experience!

I got a call from a lady who said she was from BT about my broadband. Something felt off straight away, especially when her name was just a scribble and she pushed me to say it was a scam. I told her flat out she wasn't actually from BT and I knew what she was up to. She just ended the call after that.

i keep getting calls from someone who says there's a problem with my pc and asks me to turn it on. they use english names but the way they speak english is really dodgy, doesn't sound like a native at all. it's super annoying!

Honestly, this ain’t BT calling you, I’m pretty certain of that. With all these NHS scam artists out there cashing in on people’s worries, be careful and don’t hand over any info. Best to mess with them a bit and keep them busy so they don’t bother anyone else. Just a heads up, actual providers won’t ring you about an internet issue unless you’ve contacted them first and agreed to be called. Stay safe!

So this number is apparently from a UK firm called Nexbridge. Honestly, they're rubbish - they sell UK phone numbers to scammers all over the globe and have a really bad name. Their bosses aren’t any better either! Next time you get a call from them, try joking that BT stands for “Bangalore Twits” and see what they say. Then, if you’re feeling cheeky, ask if they want a burger. If your phone company lets you block numbers, just do that and save yourself the hassle!

My mum got a call on her home phone from this number saying hackers had been using our internet from midnight till about 4 in the morning. She handed me the phone and I started asking questions. The person told me to open any gadget like a phone, tablet, or laptop and check emails or surf online. I told them I wasn’t using any device and had no intention of doing so. After that, they just hung up.

Got a call from a lady with a strange accent talking about my computer. I told her I don't actually own one, and suddenly she just went quiet - I guess she wasn’t expecting that. Then she hung up pretty quickly. Suspicious, to say the least.

Got a call earlier from a lady with an Indian accent saying she was from BT. I played along, acted all concerned about some issue with my phone setup. Then just as she hung up, I shouted a rude goodbye, though she probably didn’t catch it. Pretty sure she realised I was having a laugh with her though. Sorted now, her number is blocked for good.

Got a call from this number just now, 13:38, but I didn’t pick up. Been getting loads of spam all week - there’s another dodgy one ringing me up, 020 8318 3047, saying they’re from ‘Microsoft support’. Could be a bloke or a lass, both talk with an Indian accent. If Brexit goes through, I’m really not looking forward to any sort of deal with India.

I got phone calls at 9 yesterday, twice, and then again this morning at 8, also a couple of times. The caller claimed to be from BT and warned that my internet would be disconnected for a couple of months due to loads of viruses that were supposedly going to be installed on my computer.

Over the last 48 hours, this number has called me three times claiming to be BT and saying they're testing the line. They use typical English names but their accents don’t sound very British to me, so it’s odd that the number can actually be tracked. When I questioned them and told them we use a different company, they just ended the call straight away. Doesn’t seem genuine at all to me.
