02038742411 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02038742411 👆 is reported as a number linked to persistent scam calls about the transition from copper landlines to fibre broadband. Callers impersonate BT or Openreach representatives, often offering misleading claims of government funding or urgent necessary upgrades. They are pushy, sometimes rude, and frequently unable to provide credible details or written confirmation. Many recipients, including businesses, highlight their existing fibre or VOIP setups, yet these callers persist or abruptly hang up when challenged. This number also disregards the Telephone Preference Service, causing significant annoyance. Several users have blocked the number and warn others to avoid sharing personal information or engaging further. The overall consensus is to treat calls from this number with extreme caution as a likely telephone scam.

Just a heads up, this number popped up as spam on my phone. Got a random call about our landlines, which immediately felt dodgy. They were pushing some 'Great Switchover' service, sounded believable and they weren’t too aggressive. When I asked if they were from BT, they didn’t say yes, but claimed to be partnered with them or something. When I mentioned we’d already got BT handling it, they told me to check out other suppliers for the switch. Definitely be cautious and don’t share too much info. I told them to send me an email with all the info. Let’s see what happens next.

Got a call this morning around 9:12 from someone pretending to be with BT Wholesale. They were pushing some sort of deal related to the so-called 'Switch Off'. It was clear they didn’t really know the difference between ISDN and ADSL or even copper versus fibre connections. After a fair bit of nonsense and a rather patronising tone, I just blocked the number and thought I’d share my experience here.

Got a call today, 22nd October, from someone claiming to be about the ISD switch. I assumed they meant the change from copper wires to fibre internet. Then they began grilling me about our phone setup. I asked them to identify themselves properly, and they said they were from Smart Connect Telecoms. They said they'd send me info in the post, but I asked for an email instead and gave my work address. So far, I've had nothing come through.

This bloke on the phone kept saying he was from BT, even after I asked over and over if he really was. He kept going on about BT wholesale, but I'm pretty sure it's a total scam. Don't fall for it!

I'm pretty sure this is a con. They've rung me two times, both with the same line: "someone just called me, I'm getting back to them about a switchover, it's IMA." No one here has made any calls to them at all. I've blocked the number and told them to stop calling.

Got a call from a bloke claiming it was about switching from copper wires to fibre optic for ISDN. I mentioned that I already use a VOIP service. He said he’d send me some info through the post. Just to be safe I rang our phone company and turns out the call wasn’t from them. We’re on the TPS list, so they really shouldn’t be ringing us like this. Total scam, I’d say.

Got a call from a woman who was speaking ridiculously fast, had to ask her a few times to go slower and explain again. She was saying something about BT changing our phone line from copper to fibre optic. I told her we’re already on fibre optic, and if she was really with BT, she’d be aware of that. She just ended the call after that.

Got three calls from them today. Earlier, they chatted with one of my workmates claiming to be from B.T., saying they were planning to shut down the copper phone lines. When I answered a later call, I told them we’ve been using a VOIP phone for a couple of years now, and they just hung up straight away.

Just after I’d wrapped up the last report, they rang me again! They went on about copper wire and all that, then started firing questions at me. I kept quiet, and then they just put the phone down.

Got a call earlier claiming to be from BT Openreach about changing over from copper wiring or something like that. I just told them there was nobody here to talk about it right now. It seemed kinda legit since there wasn’t the usual noisy background, but honestly these days I reckon anyone ringing on the landline is probably out to con you. Feels a bit shady to me.

I barely had a chance to speak, as she was saying that our phone number was about to be wiped out in this region. Finally, when I managed to say something, I explained we use digital voice, and then she just went, alright, I’ll take you off the list so we don’t call anymore!

He mentioned our setup wasn’t compatible with the latest Openreach system and asked me some questions. I explained we have a separate team handling phones, and he said alright, he’d take us off his list. But then he rang me straight back, which made me really suspicious, so I told him it sounded like a scam. That’s when he just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be BT Openreach, with some dodgy recording of what sounded like a busy office in the backround.

Just to clear things up: landlines aren’t actually being “switched off” - the tech is just getting updated. As a customer, you probably won’t have to do much, maybe get a new socket put in, or replace an old telephone if it’s really ancient. Your provider should sort out the socket, and you can grab a new phone easily from places like Amazon.

Both BT and Virgin have promised they'll not charge anything for this changeover.

Somebody rang up saying they were from Openreach and told me our phone would be cut off unless we moved to internet calls soon. They said they could sort out fibre installation for us, and that there was supposed government funding to cover it! I told them we were already using internet calls and that Openreach did a survey just a couple of weeks ago, saying fibre wasn’t an option yet because the infrastructure isn’t ready. The person on the other end went quiet after that. I just hung up after.

Was a bit strange when I picked up the phone and caught two voices - an older woman who seemed a bit lost and a local bloke who was giving her my number to fix something. They called again not long after, but when I answered, the call just cut off. Feels like there might be something dodgy going on here...

Got a call claiming they were from OpenReach, saying our phone lines were going to be cut off and we had to move over to their internet phone service - sounded fishy to me. I told them to get in touch with our main office instead, and right after that, they just dropped the call without even saying bye.

I got a call at work from a lady who spoke super quickly, making it impossible to catch what she was saying. After asking her a few times to slow down because I just couldn’t follow, she suddenly just hung up. She mentioned a word that sounded like immigration or maybe integration, but I have no clue what the call was really about. For sure, though, it was one of those annoying cold calls.

Got a call from a woman claiming she could help me get funding for a new phone setup. When I asked for my account number, she was stumped and couldn’t give me an answer. I pretended to be an elderly lady and kept her going for a bit - I was close to cracking up by then. Truthfully, this kind of thing could really scare proper older folks. These scammers are not only daft but also quite harmful. She ended the call with something like “Alright, I’ll take you off the funding,” sounding almost threatening before hanging up. What a load of tossers.

She kept going on about having cash for a new phone system once BT scraps the copper lines. I told her I'd just grab a voip phone for around £60 instead. She just said alright, bye then.

This is the third time this week I’ve had calls from different numbers, all claiming to be from various companies supposedly linked to BT Openreach and offering some kind of funding. Every time I ask the bloke on the phone to send something in writing so I can have a proper look, he always says he can’t do that. So, I just ended the call straight away. Feels like a scam to me!

Like some others mentioned, the caller kept asking for the business owner by his first name, pretending to be on familiar terms. Having dealt with these dodgy calls for years, I asked straight up what the call was about. He then launched into some spiel about Openreach and ISDN lines, but I cut him off with "He isn’t here and never will be, so please stop ringing. Cheers, goodbye."

Had a really odd call that felt almost a bit cheeky. A robotic female voice with the most odd tone you can imagine. She didn’t even bother with a proper greeting; just jumped straight into asking me to verify our postcode. While I was still trying to figure out if the call was legit, she started rambling on about ISDN stuff and some sort of funding. Just like the other person mentioned, that’s when I decided to hang up and block the number for good.

Got a call labelled as Outbound. We run a home-based company. Some bloke wanted to chat with X (that’s my hubby’s name). I asked what it was about since he wasn’t around. Then he started rambling about outdated ISDN lines and how our phones supposedly wouldn’t work with new fibre systems (which is nonsense ‘cause we’re on copper wires here in the middle of nowhere - no fibre, no gas, no cable, nothing like that). He even claimed there was funding to help. That’s when I just hung up.

I got a call from this guy who honestly sounded proper miserable. He wanted me to verify if my postcode was from Wiltshire, but as soon as I told him I wasn’t in Wiltshire, he just cut the call straight away. Bit rude if you ask me.

It called a couple of times but hung up just as I was about to pick up. I reckon it might be one of those cold callers trying to get you to ring them back, guessing that your curiosity will make you do it.
