01827830898 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01827830898 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving automated calls from various UK numbers, featuring a robotic female voice named "Shirley" with an American accent. Callers falsely claim your internet or IP address has been compromised and threaten to disconnect your service within 24 to 48 hours unless you press a button to speak to a technician. Many report these calls coming multiple times a day with no messages left, often targeting the elderly and vulnerable. The scammers frequently change numbers, making blocking difficult. Despite frustrations, some users praise BT’s efforts with call protection services that block millions of scam calls daily. Overall, this is a widespread nuisance with aggressive tactics, causing upset and worry particularly among older recipients.

Got five calls today from four separate numbers but all with that identical "Shirley" recorded message. Blocking each number’s a nightmare since they keep changing. I’ve decided to just keep my phone off the hook for now. Definitely a scam. The numbers I’ve noted are 01623 554519, 02082 002366, and 01159 813042. Feels like they’ve hacked BT’s system and are using old, inactive numbers to trick you into thinking it’s a proper UK call.

While on holiday, my phone kept ringing almost daily. We've got a BT blocker so they couldn't leave any messages, but they kept trying to get hold of us - no success though!

Got a robo call from someone named 'Shirley' claiming my internet was at risk, sounded American. They told me to hit 1 to get more info or be put through to a pricey line. Then, a couple of days later, another call came from a different number starting 009 0904, saying my router would be cut off soon. Didn’t press anything on either call.

Despite what some might say about BT, they’re really making a good effort with their BT Call Protect and the BT Global Blacklist. They manage to spot and block millions of scam calls before they even ring the customers, which is brilliant. This has been happening for about a year and a half now, and honestly, they deserve some credit for it. It’s a shame more people aren’t aware though - if folks realised that BT tosses out millions of dodgy calls daily, they’d probably appreciate it more! ;-)

I use BT and it looks like this number got caught up in their global blacklist, so it never actually rang at my place. Bit of a relief really, since my own list of blocked numbers is almost full.

Big shoutout to BT for their cracking work with BT Call Protect, along with the Global and Personal Blacklists - they’re stopping loads of scam and spam calls every day, including those sneaky spoofed ones. By the way, it’d be great if we could get a limit increase on the Personal Blacklist - 100 numbers just doesn’t cut it for most folks! Keep smashing it, BT! ;-)

Got back home and noticed I had two missed calls on my caller ID within about 15 minutes. No voicemails were left, which pretty much confirms it's another scam, based on what I’ve read here before. There’s so many bogus calls these days, I just don’t pick up unless they actually leave a message and I know it’s from someone I trust like family or mates. If more people ignored them like this, maybe these annoying scammers would get the message and stop wasting our time.

They've rung my landline about four times just today, no idea why. The first time I didn’t even get to say a word, and neither did the person on the other end. Never leaves a message either. It’s been happening every few hours.

It was that robotic Shirley again, ringing me up to say my internet was about to be disconnected, then telling me to press one or two to sort it out. Pretty clear this is just another scam. Hope all of us keep ignoring her and the message finally sinks in: just go away!

Got a robo call from some 'Shirley' warning me I'd lose my internet! Seriously, don’t these jokers have anything more useful to do? Thing is, after getting hammered by four scam calls in just a couple of hours, I ended up having to cut off my landline. Enough is enough!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying my internet was down. I told him my router wasn’t even plugged in and everything was working perfectly fine. I just knew he was gonna try and get my card details, like the 16 numbers and the security code on the back. Typical scam stuff, really.

I swear these scammers are getting worse. I answered and all I could hear was loads of chatter like a call centre, then the line just cut out on me. Honestly, I’m tempted to ditch my landline completely and stick to just using my BT line for internet now. Too much hassle!

BEWARE - these lot even make it look like an 0800 number is ringing! Loads of providers now give you the option to block calls free of charge, so have a word with your phone company and see if you can sort it out. I rang my internet provider about it and they told me it’s definitely a scam.

I've been getting calls from this number too, with a scary message left on my voicemail warning me that hackers from multiple countries are trying to break into my computer. They said if I don’t call back or press 1 to talk to an 'engineer', they'll cut off my internet. As a widow without much tech knowledge, it’s really unsettling and makes me worry someone is spying on me. Reading other people’s experiences with this number has helped me not to panic and just ignore it, which is a relief.

Got a call from 01827830898 with an automated female voice claiming that my IP address was hacked by some foreign nations. It asked me to hit Button 1 to speak to an engineer. Obviously, it’s a total scam, so I just ended the call immediately. Avoid this number!

Like loads of other people have said here, it was a scammer pretending my internet was hacked and that I needed an engineer, then told me to ring a dodgy number. I just ended the call straight away. They rang from fake UK numbers, this time one starting with 01827 830898, but I reckon the callers themselves were in India. My advice: don’t waste time, hang up as soon as they start. Legit BT will never ring from these sorts of numbers, they only use 0800 numbers, just two of them. Don’t fall for it!

I got calls from the number 01829437154 too. This morning, my 92-year-old mum got phoned three times by them, saying her BT line was about to be cut off. Problem is, she’s actually with Virgin, not BT, so she just hung up. Still, it scared her and she called me to check if she handled it okay. The voice sounded American and maybe was some kind of robot. It’s really unfair to hassle people, especially the elderly like that. I don’t see what they’re trying to gain from it.

01827830898 calling a landline, been hassling my 84 year old mum. They left 3 messages using a robotic voice, saying there’s something wrong with her computer and a techie needs to fix it right away over the phone. Mum told them she doesn’t even have a computer, so I can't see how they'd manage to scam her with that! They’ve tried this trick before too.
