7 yearsSeriously, who rings you up at 8 in the evening on a Sunday? The number showed it was from Scotland, but I’m based in London. Looks like they’re trying to expand their reach or something!ScotlandLondon9 yearsThe individual on the phone claimed to be Michael Watson, stating there was an issue with the Braithwaite exchange that required a channel switch from 786 to 502. He requested that I head to the App Store and search for "teamviewer." I chose not to follow through with his request and instead looked up his phone number. Clearly, this wasn't a call from BT at all!Michael WatsonBraithwaiteApp StoreBT9 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from BT about a fault in our neighbourhood with the fibre optic line being damaged. The first caller’s English was really hard to understand, so I just ended the call. They phoned back shortly after, this time with a ‘supervisor’ who repeated the same story about internet problems. Then they mentioned a potential security risk. They even told me to get on my computer so they could help fix it. After wasting their time, I told them I’d contact BT myself to sort it out. They were quite persistent and nearly had me fooled, so watch out for this scam.BT9 yearsI picked up the phone and they didnt say anything straight away. After a few seconds, they said they were from BT Openworld.BT Openworld9 yearsGot three calls from someone saying they were BT today. Rang BT myself and they said everything's fine with my broadband. Tried to reach the fraud department on the business line but could barely get through, and no one would connect me to fraud. Honestly, dealing with BT was nearly as annoying as the scam calls!BTFraud9 yearsI got a call supposedly from Openreach the other day. The person on the line sounded obviously Indian, and when I asked them for my customer number to prove who they were, they just gave me some made-up digits. Then they wanted me to visit some website to check it out. Definitely felt dodgy to me.9 yearsJust like loads of others, I got a call from some bloke with a thick Asian accent, saying his name was David. He started going on about some accident that happened during the night and claimed my router had been hacked, insisting I do exactly what he said. I told him to get lost! I wanted to be a bit more rude but my mum was nearby in the kitchen. Honestly, these people are such a pain in the neck! Wish there was a way to block them for good.DavidMum9 yearsI've gotten loads of calls too, mostly from a guy who sounds Asian, but this time he said his name was Steve and claimed he was ringing from BT Openreach about my internet having issues. I immediately told him my internet is with Virgin, not BT, and he just hung up. I even printed off a Virgin statement to prove it, because they always try to argue that everyone’s internet runs through BT. Sometimes I play along for a bit, other times I’m straight up rude - doesn’t bother me, I know exactly what these lot are trying to pull. Proper hassle.SteveBT OpenreachVirginBT9 yearsMy landline rang about 8 in the morning, and I wasn’t sure who was on the other end. I kept saying hello over and over for about 10 seconds but got no reply. After a bit, I just heard a robotic voice saying "goodbye." Seeing the other comments, it's probably best to just block this number.9 yearsGot a call from someone named Shirley, who asked me to check my router because apparently, there's been some sort of accident at the exchange and my internet might be vulnerable to hackers. I asked her for her last name and where she was calling from, but she just ended the call straight away. Bit weird, honestly.Shirley9 yearsThis guy said he was from BT, but I called him out straight away saying he was a total fraud. He just laughed and said I was the one off my rocker. Legit calls from BT always show up as BT on the caller ID, so never fall for these con artists.BT9 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from BT, urging me to inspect my home hub. However, when I inquired about their location, they suddenly hung up. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!BT9 yearsTypical scam call from somewhere in Asia again. Luckily I’ve blocked it using BT Call Protect. The annoying thing is these fraudsters keep switching their numbers all the time.9 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying my internet wasn’t working right. Totally felt like a scam to me.9 yearsGot a call from BT again, seems like there’s some fault with their exchange. I asked them to tell me which exchange it was, but they couldn’t give me an answer!Standard BT9 yearsGot a call from a woman with a really strong Asian accent claiming to be from BT Openreach. I told her I don’t even use BT, and she brushed it off saying it must be an internet issue. Then she asked how many lights were on my router. I said I didn’t have internet at all, and she hung up right away. Definitely one of those dodgy scam calls, no way I’m falling for that!BT OpenreachBT9 yearsI got a call from a bloke with a thick Indian accent who said his name was Kevin Turner and claimed to work for BT Openreach, telling me there was an issue with my internet. I told him straight away I didn’t believe he was really from BT. He then got all cheeky and sarcastic, saying if I was that smart then maybe I should try out for America’s Got Talent or something!Kevin TurnerBT Open ReachBTAmericaTalent9 yearsStrange how it happens, I got called on 17/10/17 myself and it was the same deal - always some foreign or Asian voice saying they're from BT or OpenReach. Funny thing is, if they really want people to believe them, maybe they should use a bloke with a proper English accent instead!BT9 yearsThey rang me once more!!! Today, I already complained about a woman who sounded either Indian or Asian. I told her she had already phoned me earlier and accused her of lying and trying to scam folks. She just ended the call.9 yearsThey've been calling non-stop, rang me twice just this hour pretending to be from the BT tech team. I told them my son’s an actual BT engineer and to stop bothering us, but they just keep coming through.BT9 yearsI got a call from a woman who sounded Indian, said she was from BT Openreach and wanted to talk about issues with my router. When I asked her for her number so I could ring back, she just ended the call. Seems like a scam to me. Now I’m getting loads of calls every day from different random numbers.BT Openreach9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Openreach, but the thick Indian accent was an immediate red flag. Definitely seemed like a scam to me. I’m planning to share this number with other spam callers myself!BT Openreach9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with BT Openreach about my internet. We actually use cable, so I knew right away it was a scam and just ended the call. This is the third time this week I've had one of these dodgy calls.BT Openreach9 yearsI've had these scammers ring me three times already today.9 yearsThis number said they were from BT, but now I just tell other annoying callers to get in touch with this one instead!BT9 yearsMy mum got a call from a guy speaking with an Indian accent. He said he was from BT and warned about some broadband issues. Turns out, they’re using the BT name to trick folks. Definitely need to sort this out!BT9 yearsJust like loads of people have said before, this guy tried to get me to let him into my router. Total scam.9 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent who said his name was Peter and claimed he worked for BT Openreach. He told me my internet was running slow because it was stuck on channel 586 instead of 786, and that engineers were fixing it at our exchange. I told him I wasn’t with BT, but he went on about how all internet connections go through BT anyway. When I asked him to stop calling, he started swearing at me, proper rude with the f-word. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.PeterBT OpenreachBT9 yearsGot a call a minute ago from someone with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from BT about my internet. Since I don’t have a BT landline, I just said, “Alright, what’s this all about then?” and he just cut the call right away!BT9 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with BT Openreach, saying they needed to get into my router to put in some software. Thing is, I’m actually with a cable company, not BT at all! It was pretty clear it was a scam. Watch out for this kind of call!BT9 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from openreach but had a really thick foreign accent. When I told them I thought it was a scam, they just hung up on me.Submit Your Own Report (01879 495724)
