Somebody claiming to be from “BT Openreach” called me saying there was a problem. When I asked him how he knew that, he just hung up!

Got loads of calls from some dodgy number saying they’re from BT Openreach, proper scam from what I can tell. The bloke on the line sounded Pakistani. They’ve rung me about ten times now, mostly from Devon but recently from Cornwall too.

some woman called, claimed she was from bt, kept trying to get me to use my ‘combuter’ (her pronunciation was hilarious). she kept asking "you on your combuter now?" like it was urgent or something. honestly, my computer takes ages to start up, so no way i was gonna do that right away. ended the call pretty quick.

Heads up about this number! The 01872 code isn’t just for Cornwall, it’s also used in Punjab, India. I got suspicious when my caller ID kept showing ‘unavailable’ on and off but the number seemed like it was from Truro. I decided to check it out and turns out it’s a total scam. Just ignore it and don’t answer if you get a call from this one.

I’ve had a bloke calling me thrice, saying he was from BT Openreach. On the second call, I asked straight up what he wanted, and he got a bit snappy. That’s not how I’d expect someone from a well-known company to behave.

This woman had a really strong foreign accent and there was loads of noise in the background. She got quite shouty and rude when my hubby told her he struggles with his hearing. I couldn’t catch much of what she was saying either, and it didn’t feel like a proper BT worker at all. She claimed she was from BT and told us to turn our computer on, but we didn’t, and then she just ended the call. Really weird!
