6 yearsThat was once my number, you know. We held onto it for ages. Then out of the blue, some chap rings me up claiming to be from Openreach. He wants me to hop on my computer, but I politely told him where to go. Before I knew it, the phone went mad with calls - people asking if I had reached out. One particularly angry fella threatened to sort me out if I dared call again! I had to involve the police and ultimately, we decided to change our number. What a right kerfuffle!Openreach7 yearsI was out when this number rang me a couple of times in the space of an hour, but they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail. After seeing what others said about them, I’ve decided to block it now.7 yearsI received a call this morning at half-past nine from a gentleman with an accent who claimed to be representing BT Openreach. He wanted to know if I was experiencing any issues with my internet speed and offered to enhance my service. However, the moment I declined, he abruptly ended the conversation.BT Openreach7 yearsGot a call where there was no sound at all, just pure silence on the other end. Really odd and unsettling.7 yearsGot a call from this number just now, and straight away I thought it was one of those annoying scam calls trying to mess with me. So I didn’t pick up and let my voicemail handle it. I left a message saying something like “all calls to this line are being recorded,” and they only managed to get the words “all calls to this” out before hanging up. Honestly, I don’t understand how these jokers expect to earn anything from this rubbish.7 yearsTwice today this number tried to get through to me. The first call, no one said a word for about 10 seconds so I ended it. The second time, it only rang a few times then just cut off. I've gone ahead and BLOCKED it now.7 yearsGot a call today claiming to be from BT, saying my router was sending error alerts. I let him talk for about 14 minutes, pretending to do what he told me.

If you don't answer, they just cut the line straight away. I’ve blocked them now.7 yearsThis bloke called Adam, sounds Indian and says he's from BT Openreach. I get calls from him nearly every week.
