01792421151 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01792421151 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number associated with scam calls impersonating BT Openreach, often warning of fake internet hacking or disconnection threats. Callers typically use Indian or oriental accents, read scripted messages, and sometimes hang up abruptly or stay silent. Many recipients find the calls intimidating, receiving multiple daily attempts, with some experiencing rude or aggressive behaviour when challenging the caller. Blocking via phone or provider services can be ineffective as calls may still come through under different identifiers. Most encounters advise ignoring or ending calls immediately without providing any information. Authorities such as Ofcom and the ICO have been notified by users, underlining the importance of vigilance and not engaging with these fraudulent calls.

Got a call from a woman with an Oriental accent, sounded like she was just reading off a script. She claimed to be from BT Openreach, saying there had been some hacking on my internet account. I told her the only scammer here was her and told her rather bluntly to piss off.

Got a call again today but no one answered when I picked up. Feels like just another scam trying to get through.

I’ve had this number ringing me 6 times just today, but luckily my BT8600 phone blocks the calls from coming through. You might wonder how I’m aware they tried to call? I keep an eye on the call log to see who’s been ringing, kind of like doing a 1471. If someone keeps calling, I just block ’em straight away. I’ve used this phone for around 4 years now, and honestly, it’s been one of the best purchases we’ve made. GWC

I've been getting calls from this woman for a bunch of days now, and today she actually called me a "bastard" and told me to "go f##k myself"! I guess her anger just shows how badly she wants me to buy whatever she's selling. Funny how that works! lol

It’s always the same lot from India calling, like every single day, sometimes a couple of times daily. I’m totally fed up with constantly getting hassled by them. Gerrard.

I thought I’d blocked this number but somehow they keep ringing. Had 3 calls today already, and it’s just silence on the other end. Really fed up with these quiet calls.

I thought I was protected after blocking the number (01792 421151) through BT Call Protect. Somehow, though, they sneaked past and appeared as an International caller. It's pretty sneaky, can't believe they got through!

Got a ring at 10:39 this morning from this number. The bloke claimed he was with BT Open Reach and told me there were some kind of threats from Nigeria trying to break into my computer. Said he wanted to help fix my broadband. I instantly knew it was dodgy and just ended the call, but I reckon some folk might actually fall for it because he sounded pretty convincing.

This number has rung me like six times just today, which really makes me feel uneasy. I usually let it go to voicemail but when I do, the person calling just hangs up. One time I did pick up thinking it might be my grandson from Wales, but they didn’t say anything and ended the call. Honestly, why is there no way to just block these calls for good?

I got two calls from this number on the same day. I let the first one ring out but picked up the next. It was a guy with an Indian accent saying he was from BT and that my broadband was about to be disconnected. When I asked him sharply why, he just ended the call. Sounds familiar to what others have experienced.

Called from 01792 421151 again on 30/08/2018 at 2pm, third attempt just today. Didn’t recognise the number so let the answerphone take it but caller just hangs up every time without leaving any message. After reading other reviews, not really shocked at all.

Answered the phone and it got cut off straight away. Looked it up, comes from Virgin Media and links to a company in Swansea, south Wales. Tried ringing them back but the number’s dead. These calls like this are becoming way too frequent now.

Got a call from a lady with a kind of Asian accent who said she was with BT Openreach. She told me I had to have my internet switched off for a week because apparently someone else was using it fraudulently. I knew it was a scam straight away and after a quick chat I just told her to "f### off" politely. Don't fall for their tricks, just hang up right away. Dialling 1471 showed the number they called me from.

Had a call from a woman with a strong accent who said she was from BT Openreach, claiming my internet had to be cut off for a week because of some fraudulent use. I knew straight away it was dodgy. After a quick chat, I just told her to “f### off” nicely. Don’t fall for this nonsense, just hang up straight away. Used 1471 to check the number, and it showed up clearly.

I got a call from someone saying they were with BT about my internet. I wasn’t convinced it was legit, so I just ended the call straight away. Funny thing is, about 15 minutes earlier I had an automated message from 02082352278 (the number showed up from 1471) also saying BT might disconnect my internet. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

Got about 8 calls all before half past two, so I ended up reporting it to my phone company, Ofcom, the ICO, and the TPS. Fingers crossed one of these actually puts an end to it. I just pick up and stay silent or hang up without leaving any message.

I got a call from a bloke claiming to be from BT Openreach, saying they were gonna cut off my internet for a whole week 'cause apparently it’d been hacked and hackers were stealing all our info. Thing is, we haven’t been with Openreach for over a year now, so that was my first red flag. Then he wanted me to get on my computer, which just sounded dodgy. When I asked if he could speak to my husband and said we’d ring back, he freaked out and said no way, they’d be the ones to call us. I asked him what time we should expect the call, but honestly, these scammers really grind my gears.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent, saying she was from BT Openreach. She told me my internet was going to be cut off in 24 hours if I didn’t do something. Doesn’t sound right to me at all. Definitely a scam, so I just blocked the number.

Answered the phone and said hi, some guy on the other side just said hi back then immediately ended the call. Not sure what that was about.
