01826539470 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01826539470 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated calls impersonating BT, warning recipients of internet disconnection and urging them to press a number. Callers often feature foreign accents, background noise, or silence, and may attempt to extract personal details or access to internet routers. Many report no legitimate BT connection or official use of the number, which is linked to fraudulent activity. Users strongly advise against responding, pressing buttons, or returning calls, as these actions may result in charges or data compromise. The calls cause distress, particularly to the elderly, and BT does not endorse them. Blocking the number and remaining vigilant is recommended to avoid falling victim to this ongoing phishing fraud.
Reports on phone number 01826539470
6 yearsGot a call from 01826, some robotic voice claiming it’s the tax office saying there’s a warrant out for me and to press 1. I did, and an Indian woman answered, obviously from some call centre - you could hear others chatting away loudly in the background. She asked for my name to check my file but I told her, “I’m not daft.” There was a pause, then she just cut the call.6 yearsAround 10:10 this morning I got a call, but when I answered, nobody spoke.6 yearsGot a call about my internet being slow and was told to reboot my modem, but they didn’t even ask who my provider was. Definitely a scam, just ignore and hang up if they ring you. They’re just trying to scam you out of personal details.6 yearsPicked up the phone at 01826 505388 but nobody spoke, then they just hung up on me. Feels a bit dodgy to me. Would be careful with this one.8 yearsAfter a brief pause, someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT called, saying there were issues with my router and I had to turn on my computer. When I said I don't own a computer, they just ended the call. Also, just a heads up, the 01826 code isn’t a real UK area code, so you can block any calls coming from those numbers without worries.BTUK8 yearsHonestly, folks, don’t fall for the nonsense about getting charged if you press 1 or 2. It’s a bit of scare tactics from scammers trying to trick you. They just use online setups and fake their caller ID, there’s no hidden cost from pressing those buttons.8 yearsJust got an automated call, same situation as before.8 yearsPut them straight on the blocked list.8 yearsGot a call from 01826539470 saying it was BT and that my internet would be disconnected. That’s not how BT does things at all. Better to just ignore it.BT8 yearsSaid they were from BT but it’s a right con, best to ignore and not reply.BT8 yearsJust got a call from this number about 20 minutes ago, missed it and tried to call back but couldn’t get through! It’s mad how they can keep ringing with all the fancy gear and tech they must have. You’d think by now they’d have shut this kind of thing down. Definitely a scam, 01826 539470.8 yearsGot a robocall claiming BT is about to cut off my internet. It told me to press 1 or 2 but sounded dodgy and like it might cost me money. I don’t even use BT for internet! I’ve just blocked the number on my phone now.BT8 yearsLike most folks, I didn’t pick up but they dropped a voicemail on my answering machine saying “Your service will be cut off starting today. For help, press 1 to reach BT if you want to cancel your internet plus.” It’s pretty dodgy that BT seems to let scammers use their name like this without doing anything!BT8 yearsApparently this number used to be a BT customer’s, but it’s not in service anymore. Seems like scammers have taken it over now. Trying to call it back is pointless since it’s not a valid line any longer. Classic BT for letting that happen, huh?BT8 yearsIn the past couple of weeks, I've gotten two calls from this number and both times it was just dead silent. I said hello but nobody replied and the line stayed quiet the whole time I waited. Feels like a scam or some annoying marketing trick to me, so I've gone ahead and blocked it now. Appreciate people sharing their experiences with this number, gave me a clear idea of what’s going on.8 yearsGot a voicemail on my home phone from 01826539470 claiming my BT broadband would be disconnected and to press 1 to stop it. Thing is, I’m not even with BT, so I just hung up. Total scam, obviously.8 yearsThis has to be a scam. I've already paid my bill in full and BT told me they weren’t the ones who made the call.BT8 yearsI got a call from this number too and it seemed a bit strange, so I looked it up here and noticed loads of others are getting the same calls at the moment!8 yearsGot a robo call claiming to be from BT, saying if you don’t press a certain number your phone line will get cut off. Honestly, don’t bother calling back or hitting any buttons. It’s dodgy and you’ll only end up regretting it. Just block the number straight away.BT8 yearsJust like a lot of others here.8 yearsAbout 7 minutes back I got a call warning me my internet would be disconnected the very next day and they told me to press 1 to talk to BT. Totally a scam, don’t fall for it.BT8 yearsI ignored the call right away since it felt dodgy, and there was no voicemail left either.8 yearsGot a call from these guys but they never bothered to leave a message or anything about why they called. Just seems like another scam to me, so I don’t trust it at all.8 yearsThis number belongs to a former BT client, FYI. Make sure you check the comments before you call, sounds like a scammer to me.BT8 yearsNo one answered when I called, figured it might be some kind of phishing scam.8 yearsHere we go again, that automated American lady pretending to be from BT, trying to con me. I’m honestly so worn out and annoyed with getting this call all the time, from loads of different numbers. It pops up on my phone a couple times every single day. They really ought to pass some laws to stop these annoying calls once and for all.BT8 yearsthis number rang my old mum but when she picked up, no one said a word. loads of older folks live by themselves and get really worried or scared about calls like this. it’s awful what some people stoop to just for cash. honestly, they should find proper work instead!8 yearsGot a weird call supposedly from BT with one of those robotic voices. I hit 1 like they said, and then some bloke with an Indian accent came on, trying to scam me into letting them into my internet router and laptop. Looks like they wanted to use my gear for crypto mining or some kind of ransomware plot. Proper dodgy stuff. Definitely not BT at all. Honestly, how come BT lets these fraudsters give them a bad rep? Steer clear of these calls!British TelecomIndiaBT8 yearsgot a sketchy call claiming to be from bt saying my connection is at risk and to ring back some expensive number. funny thing is, i don’t even have bt internet! how am i supposed to lose something i dont even have? total scam if you ask me.BT8 yearsCalled from this number, but I’ve never had BT internet. Hung up straight away, seems like a scam to me.BT8 yearsI just let it ring out.8 yearsThey’re back doing the same thing! Had a look through the comments underneath. I always liked having an actual person on the line so I could mess around with them. Bet they’ve stopped that now by using those annoying prerecorded messages.8 yearsLooks like a scam, judging by the other comments down here. Stay cautious!8 yearsGot a call from this number saying my broadband’s about to be disconnected by BT. Thing is, I haven’t had BT for over a year now - switched to Sky ages ago. So yeah, pretty sure this is just a dodgy scam call.BTSkySubmit Your Own Report (01826 539470)
