01793872931 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01793872931 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number frequently claiming to be from BT’s technical department, warning of hacked computers or internet issues. Callers often remain silent or hang up when answered, sometimes becoming aggressive when confronted. Despite multiple daily calls, recipients are advised not to engage or provide remote access, as the intention is to install malware or extort money. The calls often use spoofed local numbers to create a false sense of legitimacy. Reporting to official bodies like Action Fraud is recommended, but typical call-blocking services such as TPS cannot stop these fraudulent calls. Overall, it is strongly advised to treat calls from this number as dangerous, ignore or block them promptly to avoid potential scams.

I was pretty shocked to see this labelled a scam from five years back, as just this morning at 9 am, my phone rang with someone saying there was an issue with my computer. I asked them to say that again because I wasn't sure I heard right. The guy then asked if I was the main person who uses the computer. I couldn’t help but chuckle and asked if he was trying to scam me. Then, he ended the call. I found it funny since I don’t even have a computer!

Been getting calls from this number like a bunch of times last week. They said they were from BT’s tech team over at 81 Newgate St, telling me my IP got hacked and tried to coax me into going online so they could “fix” it with a new IP. So I just rang BT’s office at Newgate St myself and they said no way BT calls customers like that. They also reckon the callers aren’t even in the UK - apparently it’s pretty simple for them to fake the location. After that, I reached out to Action Fraud and reported what happened.

I’ve received calls from this number, and it appears to be a scammer posing as BT security. I’m baffled as to why it hasn’t been blocked or at least monitored. This has clearly been happening for quite a while now, and it’s absurd that such fraudulent activity is allowed to persist.

On Friday, this number kept ringing me about 30 times. I told them straight up it’s a scam and to stop calling. Then the bloke says, "How do you know it's a scam? Pay me £5000," and just hangs up. This morning, a woman called from the same number, and I called them out again as scammers. She just replied with “Alright, I’ll cut off your internet.” Crazy!

This number has been ringing me nonstop since early this morning, but when I answer there’s no one there. They’ve also tried to ring when I wasn’t home before. I’m thinking of just blocking it altogether. It's a shame BT doesn’t keep track of how often a number calls and cut off those that keep harassing the same people over and over.

I keep getting called on this number all day, like ten times now! Most of the time no one talks when I pick up, and sometimes they just ask me to wait a moment, so I just end the call. If anyone else is getting calls from people saying there’s an issue with your computer, try telling them you work for Microsoft and you’re tracking them down - they usually drop the call pretty quick.

I'm honestly shaken because my personal phone line got hacked, and I have no clue how it even happened or why someone would do that. It's terrifying what people are capable of these days.

I ignored the calls loads of times yesterday but finally picked up. The guy started talking about some problem with BT internet. I told him straight up it sounded like a scam from what I’d read online. He got proper annoyed and tried to convince me otherwise. Honestly, it’s a complete con. Don’t ever let them get into your computer - they’ll just put a virus on and then demand cash to fix it. Absolute muppets!

Today, I got loads of calls from this number claiming that my BT was sending them error alerts and they needed to access my computer. I told them to stop ringing me but it didn't seem to make a difference. I’ve now put in a complaint with the TPS using their online form. If you’re getting calls like this too, I’d honestly recommend reporting them to TPS so they can hopefully put an end to it.

I had a rather dodgy phone call the other day, with a chap claiming to be from BT. He insisted he needed access to my computer to sort out some issue. The moment I mentioned I’d be transferring the call to our IT team, he promptly hung up. Very suspicious, if you ask me!

This number is a total scam. They’ve rung me loads of times, even though I’m signed up on the TPS list and shouldn’t be getting any marketing calls. They just don’t seem to care. Often when I pick up, there’s just silence or they start talking about internet stuff and claim to be from BT - straight away I knew it was dodgy. They’re proper pestering now. The last time, the guy on the phone actually started swearing at me, I couldn’t believe it! Honestly, best just to ignore and not engage with them.

I've received eight calls from this number in the past day, and it's always the same familiar voice-a woman, likely of Asian descent. Every time, she insists she’s from BT and goes on about how "your computer has been compromised..." It's becoming rather tiresome, to say the least!

I’ve received four calls this morning already, and every time I pick up, there's nothing but silence. After a good ten seconds of awkwardness, I hear a mechanical voice say 'goodbye' - quite the twist, considering I’ve greeted them half a dozen times! Honestly, it’s starting to really irritate me.

I had a right nuisance this morning with four ringing calls - all went to voicemail, yet not a single message was left. After doing a bit of digging, it appears they might be some sort of scam. Other users have mentioned that the callers had foreign accents, claiming to represent BT. Just a friendly warning to everyone - stay vigilant!

I received a call from this number earlier today, claiming to be from BT. I had seen their attempts to reach out previously, so I decided to look them up. Upon finding reviews, it became clear that it's a dubious operation aiming to gain access to users' computers. The person on the line had an Asian accent and became quite irate when I mentioned my suspicions of a scam after reading about it online. I urge everyone to steer clear of these individuals; it's a complete fraud. They assert that there are problems with your internet when, in reality, everything is perfectly fine. As someone who works in IT, I'm well aware of what I’m saying. Do not grant them access to your device-they could potentially install malware, lock you out, and then attempt to extort money from you for a ridiculous 'fix.'

I've been getting loads of calls from a person claiming to be from BT, threatening to disconnect my BT internet connection - which I don’t even have! They ring me at least three times daily for days on end. Plus, there have been quite a few silent calls from that same number. Sometimes a bloke answers, sometimes it’s a lass. No matter how many times I ask them not to bother me anymore, they just keep ringing. It's really frustrating!

The number 01793 872931 calls me pretty often, sometimes multiple times in one day. Whenever I pick up, it goes straight to an answerphone that says something like "calls are recorded, please leave a message," but I've never heard anyone actually leave one. After seeing what others have said about this number, I decided to just block it today.

Got several calls from this number today, like three times. They said they were from BT and warned my internet would be cut off for a couple of weeks. Total scam though, coz I don’t even have BT. Tried to get my phone company to block the number but apparently that’s not possible. Frustrating!

this number has been ringing me quite a bit the last few days. at first, i just ignored it, but got curious and picked up today. the first call was just silence then it dropped out. the next one was some bloke with an accent pretending he was from bt, saying they’d cut off my internet. i just said alright, do what you want, and put the phone down. totally feels like a scam to me, so i’m flagging it as risky. and just so you know, i don’t even have a bt account.
