Phone number ☎️ 01856235874 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation exploiting a UK number linked to the Orkney area, targeting BT customers with bogus discount offers. Callers, often using foreign accents and noisy call centre backgrounds, attempt to extract sensitive personal and banking information under the guise of providing savings or account benefits. Many report automated or silent calls, repeated ringing at inconvenient hours, and number spoofing to appear local. Victims and observers highlight the aggressive tactics and potential financial harm, especially to vulnerable individuals. Users consistently advise against engaging, emphasise blocking the number, and recommend reporting incidents to relevant authorities. Caution is strongly advised, as genuine BT communications do not employ these methods.

6 yearsThis defo feels like a scam to me.8 yearsSome bloke from BT called me up asking for my info, had proper dodgy English too. Told him to jog on right away.BT8 yearsGot a call from this number on my home phone around 8:20 this morning. Didn't pick up. What’s weird is my number is actually blocked! Feels like a scam to me!8 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman claiming to have a BT deal and asking for my name, address, and bank info. Total scam. I told her straight up I knew she was a con artist and said I found it really nasty. Then she rudely called me "Mr scammer" and just hung up. Watch out for these types and don’t hand over any details to strangers on the phone!BTScam8 yearsHad a very similar thing happen to me, got a call from a woman with an accent, sounded like she was in some busy warehouse or something. She was chatting about discounts on BT calls. They put me through to some manager and then back again, very confusing. When I asked for her date of birth and address, the info she gave was obviously all made up. Next thing she tries to reset my direct debit! I’ve blocked the number now. Proper scam, total dodgy behaviour, I wouldn’t trust them at all.BT8 yearsI keep getting calls from this number at all sorts of times, but when I answer, no one says a word! It's happened quite a few times now.8 yearsClaiming to be from BT, offering some cash if I switch providers. I decided to hang up on him instead.BT8 yearsI've received multiple calls from this number, but nobody ever engages in conversation.8 yearsGot a call saying it was BT, claiming they wanted my direct debit info to sort me out with free unlimited calls. Sounds really dodgy to me, watch out!BT8 yearsAt around 10 in the morning, I got a call from 01856235875. I missed it and tried ringing back, but instead of connecting, I just heard a message saying the number couldn’t be found. Very strange!8 yearsClearly an impersonation of BT. It's clearly a dodgy scam.BT8 yearsAbsolute scammers, beware!8 yearsGot a call from 0800 and some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT. I told him it was way too early for calls like that and I didn’t buy it. He just hung up on me.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke who kept calling me Ma'am. He was claiming I’d get 25% off my next bill because I’m a loyal customer. Then he said I had to speak to his boss to approve it and switched me to a woman. She wanted my bank info, so I just ended the call. It was pretty loud in the background, sounded like one of those call centres. Thankfully I wasn’t fooled, but it’s scary to think if an older or vulnerable person had answered, they could lose thousands. The number at first showed as +1441856 235874, but when they called back, it was 01856 235874. Absolute nerve they have!8 yearsI saw the number looked British so I naively picked up, but there was a noisy call centre chatting away in the background and then they just hung up on me. The voice didn’t sound Scottish at all, more like a foreign accent. How do they manage to run a call overseas using a UK number? I might report this to someone in Orkney who might want to know what’s going on.Orkney8 yearsI’ve got BT call minder set up so I don’t answer unknown numbers, but this one keeps trying me at all hours. Luckily, they never actually connect. Strange how they ring at all sorts of different times though.BT8 yearsThis number incessantly calls me, only to leave me hanging in silence. It's such a nuisance and utterly frustrating-what a pointless use of my day!8 yearsJust let it ring a few times, then I gave 1471 a go to track down the number.8 yearsIt’s odd, our number’s blocked but they keep calling us anyway. Why is that happening?8 yearsThey left a voicemail, sounded a bit dodgy if you ask me. I didn’t bother calling back since I saw others saying it might be a woman with an African or Asian accent.AfricaAsia8 yearsI was luckily not at home when this number called, but it’s now saved on my call list and I’m defo gonna block it.8 yearsThe number popped up as coming from the Orkney Islands, which seemed odd. When I picked up, the voice on the other end had a thick accent, definitely not local, sounding more like someone from a poor country like India or Pakistan. They started asking for bank info and talked about sending money through Western Union. Watch out, everyone!Orkney IslandsScotlandPakistanIndiaWestern Union8 yearsGlad I didn’t pick up, but cheers to this site for helping me spot it so I can block it!8 yearsReceived a ring earlier today. I'm unlisted and utilise a call-blocking service, so it's quite puzzling how they managed to obtain my number!8 yearsI’ve already told BT about this, it’s definitely a scam!BT8 yearsI was struggling to get ahold of them on the phone for ages!!! Seriously frustrating!8 yearsGot a call from a landline in Kirkwall, Orkney, really early in the morning. I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number now. Very similar thing happened to me.KirkwallOrkney8 yearsReceived a call around 12:10 today. The chap on the line had a distinctly slow American twang, and the connection was dreadful. He claimed to be from BT, wanting to chat about some deals. He sounded rather tentative, if I’m honest. Curiously, he kept addressing me as "Ma'am" without ever using my actual name from my BT account. The connection was so fuzzy that I found it hard to catch much more. I requested to have the details sent to my home address instead, and just like that, he hung up without saying anything further. Definitely feels dodgy to me!BT8 yearsReceived a call at 12:10 from a gentleman who spoke with a rather languid American accent. He claimed to be representing BT, reaching out regarding some promotional deals. He seemed a bit hesitant in his speech. Interestingly, he insisted on addressing me as ‘Ma'am’ rather than using my actual name listed on my BT account. The connection was rather poor, so I requested that he send me the details via post, but he abruptly hung up without any further explanation. Seems a bit dodgy to me!BT8 yearsI got a call around 10:25 from a woman claiming she was from BT. Since I’m not a BT customer, I didn’t bother to hear what she had to say and just ended the call.BT8 yearsGot a call at 7:10 this morning from a girl with an American accent claiming to be from British Telecom, but she just cut off immediately. Really irritating!British Telecom8 yearsi got a call from an asian lady but there was so much background noise like a busy call centre. as soon as she asked how i'm doing, i just ended the call immediately!Asia8 yearsGot a call about 8:45 on Saturday morning, answered it but they just ended the call. Proper annoying!8 yearsGot a call at 8am on a Saturday morning.8 yearsGot a call at 7:20 in the morning on a Saturday, I picked up and they just hung up straight away. Proper annoying, not happy with that at all.8 yearsI received a rather peculiar call around twenty past twelve from a chap with a distinctly slow American accent. He claimed he was representing BT, but honestly, he seemed a bit vague about it all. Oddly enough, he kept addressing me as ‘Ma'am’ and completely bypassed my name, which is clearly listed on my BT account. He mentioned something about offers but I could hardly glean more due to the awful line quality. I requested that he send the details via email, to which he abruptly hung up without another word. Very fishy, if you ask me-definitely gave off a scam vibe!BT8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a kind of slow American accent. The connection was awful, all crackly and hard to hear. He claimed to be from BT but honestly, it sounded like he was just trying to convince himself. Kept calling me "ma'am" and never used my name once. He was going on about some offer or deal, but the line was so terrible I couldn’t make head nor tail of it. Told him to just post me the details instead, and then he just hung up. Pretty sure it was a scam.BT8 yearsGot a call at 7:56 on a Saturday morning, but I was still in bed and ignored it. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.8 yearsgot a call from this number around 7.30am on a saturday and no one answered when I picked up. pretty annoying really.8 yearsGot a call early morning, like 8 on a Saturday, 24th March 2018. Heard a quick voice, sounded asian. I blocked the number straight away, plus a few more like it. Honestly, feels a bit miserable, the kind of life they must have.8 yearsI picked up the call and tried to respond but didn’t get anything back.8 yearsI got a call from someone who sounded Asian, probably working in a call centre because there was loads of background noise. They said they were from a telecom company. I reckon it’s one of those scams that TalkTalk has been warning about recently.TalkTalk8 yearsGot a call at 7.30 in the morning and they just hung up straight away. Proper irritating! I had already blocked one number before, so maybe they're switching numbers to sneak past the block.8 yearsGot a call from 01856235874, no idea who it was. Didn't pick up because I'm getting loads of scam calls these days, and it's quite scary, especially for older people.8 yearsI don’t recognise this number, so I chose not to pick up. I’ve been inundated with scam calls lately, which can be quite alarming, especially for elderly folks like myself.Submit Your Own Report (01856 235874)
