02051487859 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02051487859 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers falsely claiming to be from BT Openreach, warning of internet or computer hacking issues. Callers often use foreign accents, mostly South Asian, and employ various numbers including international and local UK codes. They attempt to gain remote access to victims' computers under the pretense of fixing problems, but do not provide personal details or account verification when questioned. Many recipients note repeated calls, silent hang-ups, and aggressive or dismissive behaviour when challenged. The consensus advises ignoring these calls, refusing to share personal or banking information, and reporting or blocking the numbers. Genuine BT representatives do not request computer access unsolicited, so caution is strongly recommended.

10 yearsSome woman claimed she was from BT openreach. I played dumb and told her I don’t even own a computer. She got really mad and called me a liar before telling me to f.off.BT Openreach10 yearsGot a call earlier from some bloke claiming he was with BT or Openreach something about broadband problems and hackers. He wanted me to let him get into my computer to fix it. The number was some foreign one and the guy sounded proper dodgy, calling himself John Wilson or something like that. Bit of a joke.BT OpenreachJohn Wilson10 yearsI've received a rather bothersome string of calls - one yesterday from the number mentioned, and then three more today from various other numbers. Each time it was an individual, one female and three males, all speaking with Asian accents, claiming to be from B.T. They insisted I was experiencing issues with my internet connection. I promptly informed them that I wasn’t facing any problems at all and asked them to refrain from calling me in the future. Should they attempt to reach out again, I shall be left with no choice but to notify the police.10 yearsGot two calls which I reckon came from the same call centre. The second number was 02076441133. They just stayed quiet and then abruptly ended the call.10 yearsSome woman with an Asian accent called saying she was from BT Openreach and told me there was something wrong with my computer. I told her I dont even own a computer, and then she just started calling me a liar. I ended up just hanging up on her.10 yearsI wasn’t really sure what was being said since I stayed quiet, but then I heard someone say d#e.10 yearsI got a ring from someone called Derrick claiming he was from BT Openreach. He tried saying my PC was about to crash and mentioned that they’d been watching our internet lines for weeks, noticing loads of hacking programmes downloaded. I cut him off quick, told him my other half works in IT and we’ve got all the security covered, then ended the call. Good thing there’s places like this website to share these dodgy calls - maybe it’ll warn others who aren’t as clued up.DerrickBT Openreach10 yearsIf you happen to receive a call from these persistent telemarketers, you might as well play coy with them. Give the impression that you’re entirely engrossed in their pitch and humour them with a bit of banter, wasting their precious time while you're at home twiddling your thumbs. But be vigilant-when they inevitably press for your card details to unveil their so-called “incredible software,” that’s your cue! Don’t hold back: just hit them with a hearty, “You’ve got to be kidding!” It’ll surely rattle their cage a bit, and quite frankly, it serves them right for interrupting your day!10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, sounded like he was calling from a really noisy call centre. He claimed to be from BT Openreach and mentioned there were issues with my phone line messing up my internet. I told him I haven’t been at this house for the past three weeks, and he just hung up straight away. I’m signed up with the TPS and my number isn’t in any directory. I checked the number online afterwards and, as I thought, it’s a scam.BT OpenreachTPSUK10 yearsOver the past couple days, this number 02051487859 has rung me up four times. First three calls were silent, no one on the other end. When they rang a fourth time, a woman with an Asian accent answered, said she was from BT and told me I was owed a big tax rebate. She then started saying I needed to open my computer to get the refund. As soon as I asked some questions, she just cut the call off. Quite suspicious if you ask me.BT10 years02051487859 is a total scam, I’m sure someone’s selling these phone numbers over at BT’s call centre in India. Also, 00167649091 is another dodgy one tied to it. Got to say, they picked the wrong person this time - I’ve got a computing degree and over 26 years in the tech game, so I’m not falling for it.BTIndia10 yearsReceived a call from a lady with an Asian accent saying she was from BT, but she couldn’t tell me my name or account details. Once I confirmed my computer was switched on, they passed me onto another person who wanted me to type some commands into the run box. I wasn’t having any of it and asked repeatedly for my name or BT account info, then they just ended the call on me.10 yearsGot a couple of calls from some bloke claiming to be from BT, said my computer was hacked or something. He wanted me to let him on my laptop to fix the virus - yeah right, no chance! What a joke.10 yearsI’ve had this number [02051487859] ring me a couple of times today (08/07/2016). Every time I answer, there’s just silence for a moment before they cut off. Glad I found this thread, it helps to know I'm not the only one!10 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming I was being hacked. Said he was from BT, but I’m actually with Sky. What a muppet!IndiaBTSky10 yearsSo, I got a call from an Asian lady saying there was an issue with my computer. I asked her how she even knew that, which seemed odd. Then she handed me over to a bloke who I asked the same thing. After a bit of probing, he finally came clean that it was a scam! Honestly, never had anyone be that upfront with me before.10 yearsI received a call earlier today from a woman with an Indian accent, claiming to represent BT Openreach. She mentioned that my internet was under threat from hackers. When I inquired if she knew my name, she admitted she didn’t, prompting me to hang up on her.BT Openreach10 yearsHad the exact same thing happen to me as the person above.10 yearsThere's this guy from India who’s been ringing me up like 4 times a day over the last few days. It’s getting kinda annoying.10 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent who said he was with BT Openreach. He was telling me some rubbish about hackers trying to break into my computer. I told him I wasn’t buying it and didn’t think he was really from Openreach, then just ended the call.BT OpenreachOpenreach10 yearsI’ve got call screening in place, so I didn’t actually answer the call, but it showed up as a missed call on my phone. I had no clue who it was, so I resorted to a bit of Googling and stumbled upon your website. I’ve since decided to block the number.10 yearsI dont see the point in talking to these callers at all, they just hang up on you every time. The TPS really needs to do something about this, its so annoying!TPS10 yearsI've had about 4 calls from the number 02051487859. They claimed to be from BT Openreach, saying hackers were trying to get into my PC. They sound quite defensive if you question them but usually hang up if you get a bit annoyed or stern with them!BT Openreach10 yearsReceived a pair of phone calls within a mere three hours today, both from callers with Asian accents. The first claimed they were reaching out regarding a virus on my computer, insisting I had reported an issue-which was patently false as my computer was running smoothly. The second caller pressed me to switch on my device so she could guide me through ‘resolving’ this so-called issue. I flat out told her to leave me alone; it was clear she was fishing for my bank details! Attempted to raise this with BT, but they displayed an alarming lack of concern, so I won't waste my time with them again.BT10 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming BT said there’s issues with my computer. I told him everything’s running fine and then he just ended the call.BT10 yearsTotal scam, I barely said hello before they started with their nonsense. Best thing is to hang up straight away, don't let it drag on even a moment.10 yearsGot a call from someone called Asian Annie claiming to be from BT Openreach, saying there had been hacking attempts on my internet and they needed to take a look. She asked if I was by my computer, and I joked back asking which one. She then asked how many I had, so I said loads. When she wanted to talk to whoever owned them and I told her they weren’t around, she just ended the call. Totally obvious scam, but I bet a lot of less cautious folks will fall for it.AnnieBT Openreach10 yearsGot a couple of calls in one afternoon from an asian lady saying she was with Openreach. When I told her I didn't trust it, she just dropped the call. I rang BT afterwards, they confirmed it wasn't them and noted down the number for their records.OpenreachBT10 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady who claimed to be from BT Openreach saying hackers were trying to get into my wifi. Since I’m not even a BT customer, I got pretty dodgy vibes and just ended the call straight away.BT OpenreachBT10 yearsPicked up the call, there was silence for a few seconds and then a robotic female voice just said ‘goodbye’.10 yearsI just had an interesting encounter with a chap who claimed to be calling from BT Openreach. He had a distinct Indian accent and went on about how he had been monitoring my computer troubles for the past three weeks, which was completely untrue. He then insisted that he could assist me if I powered on my computer. I quickly made it clear that I was aware it was a scam and requested his name and number for reporting purposes, but he abruptly hung up! Quite the surprise, wasn't it?BT Openreach10 yearsSo this guy, sounded Indian, claimed he was ringing from BT Openreach. He went on about how they’d spotted issues with my computer over the past three weeks and offered to fix it. I wasn’t fooled though, told him it was a scam and asked for his name and contact number. Guess what? He just cut me off - no surprises there!BT Openreach10 yearsI received a rather pushy phone call from someone claiming to be from BT, insisting that I let her resolve some supposed issues with my computer. I decided it was best to end the conversation prematurely.BT10 yearsNot sure who it was, but this bloke with a weird accent rang me up asking if I fancied a chat.10 yearsI received a call claiming to be from BT, insisting that my computer was under attack and urging me to switch it on immediately. The caller had a distinctly Asian accent and spoke quite insistently. When I expressed my hesitation, they probed as to why I wouldn't follow their instructions. I firmly replied that I wouldn't act until I had more information.BT10 yearsI noticed an Asian lady tailing an Asian chap, claiming to represent BT. She mentioned something about the ring being connected to our computer.BTSubmit Your Own Report (020 5148 7859)
