...SCAM ALERT... Got a call from a bloke with a thick Asian accent, saying he was calling on behalf of Open Reach. He said there were problems with my IP and asked me to visit a shortened URL link to fix it. Sounded a bit dodgy to me!

I got a ring from some bloke on his mobile claiming he was calling on behalf of BT. When I asked him for his name and what he did there, something felt off. So, I asked for a number to ring him back, and he gave me 02073565000. After a quick google, that number seems to be linked to scams, so I didn’t bother calling back.

Got a call from some woman with an Asian accent saying she was from my bank, asking about a payment linked to a company I barely have any contact with. Since I haven’t used their services online and haven’t worked with them in ages, I instantly thought it was dodgy. Checked with my bank later and they said the number definitely wasn’t theirs. Total scam, watch out!

Got a call from a bloke with an accent that sounded Indian, claiming his name was Robert and that he worked for BT’s technical support. He said my internet had been hacked and my data was at risk. I politely told him thanks for the heads up but that I’d double-check with BT directly. When I asked for a number to get back to him, he gave me 02073565000. Oddly, he already knew my full name, though I didn’t share any details back. Definitely felt like a dodgy call to me.

This morning I got a call from 0207 3565000, a bloke with an American accent claiming to be from BT/Openreach. He told me my internet had been hacked and warned it would be cut off soon. I asked for his phone number so I could verify it, then he just hung up.

I got a call from this number saying my credit card was charged. I hit 2 and a guy with an Indian accent answered. I asked him for his contact number and he gave me this one. I then asked, "Do you know what my name is?" He said he needed to look it up. Then the call just disconnected.

A man with an Asian accent called asking for Mrs Williams, which isn’t me. Claimed he was with BT Openreach and said there was some illegal stuff happening through my internet. He wanted me to open my laptop’s homepage so he could fix the issue. I told him no way, it sounded like a scam. He then threatened to cut off my internet if I didn’t cooperate. Asked for his contact details to check with my provider, he gave an 020 number and said his name was John Williams. Said if I didn’t ring back within 10 minutes, my internet would be disconnected. Pretty obvious it was a scam.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from BT. He told me my phone line had been looked at and there was dodgy stuff going on, saying “these people aren’t your pals.” I told him he wasn’t my mate either and he was probably a scammer, which clearly annoyed him. When I asked for his BT extension, he gave me a number. I rang it and it sounded like a BT message, but the person on the other end picked up way too quickly to be real.

I received two calls from this number today, chatting with an Asian gentleman claiming to be from 'Sky', in regards to my internet connection. He attempted to persuade me to install something called TeamViewer Quick Support. I played along for a bit, and when I finally mentioned I would contact Sky directly to verify, the things he said were utterly revolting. Honestly, you could feel his frustration through the phone 😂.

Got a couple of calls in Conwy, North Wales, one on 21 August 2020 and another about a week before, both from 02073565000. Both times it was an automated bloke, sounded like a man in his 30s with a southern English accent, same voice each time. The message claimed BT was gonna cut off our service because there’d been some dodgy activity on our phone or internet. On the first call, it asked us to press 1. We hung up straight away, and the second time we didn't even wait for it to get that far.

Received a phone call on the 2nd of July, 2020, right around half past two. An Asian gentleman was on the line, claiming he was from BT and that my computer was under siege by some sort of attack. He insisted I needed to open a window right away. I was rather sceptical and declined to comply, asking for his contact number instead. He provided this number, which I subsequently looked into, only to find, rather predictably, that it was a scam.

A guy named David Wilson, sounded asian, rang me from BT saying there was a problem with my PC and asked if I could switch it on. I asked if there would be any charges, but he just said I had to turn it on first before he could explain more. I said I was heading out and asked for his contact info so I could ring him later. The number he gave me was 02073565000. Totally a scam.

When I asked her to say it again a few times, she got all shouty and said I need to see a doctor and that I shouldn’t be picking up calls. Definitely a SCAM.

It’s the 2nd of September, 2019, and can you believe it? This scamming nonsense is still going strong! I just had a phone call from a chap with a thick Asian accent, who introduced himself as “Sandy Martin.” He wanted me to hop on my computer and do all sorts of things. My burning question is - with all the technology available today, why on earth isn’t this being shut down? Come on, internet service providers, pull your socks up!

Received a call earlier today - the chap on the other end claimed to be a BT technician named John Smith, but his accent was distinctly Asian. He informed me that my bank account had been compromised and then went on to say my internet security was breached as well. It struck me that this was probably a scam, designed to rake in dosh from unsuspecting folks. In hindsight, I really ought to have hung up as soon as I realised it was a pre-recorded message.

I got a rather dodgy call earlier today, on the 22nd of March, from a woman named Lily with a rather thick Indian accent. She claimed to be a technician from BT, saying that my internet connection had been compromised by someone over in Manchester. She insisted that I needed to block my line and suggested that I should urgently upgrade my services. Quite cheeky, really! She asked if I owned a laptop, desktop, tablet or phone - I expressed my dislike for iPhones but mentioned I wouldn't mind a Samsung. Odd, isn't it? When I asked for a number to call her back, she provided 02073565000. Thankfully, the reviews I found on this site confirmed that it’s nothing more than a scam.

I've just received a couple of calls from a chap with an Indian accent, urging me to toggle my internet connection and plonk myself in front of my computer to follow his instructions. Complete scam, if you ask me! He was fishing for remote access to my machine, likely to glean all my personal data, banking info, you name it... They’ll have to wake up a bit earlier if they think they can catch me off guard!

They said they were BT and told me my internet would be cut off in 24 hours unless I upgraded my line for three months. Some bloke from Manchester supposedly hacked my broadband. I asked for their number, and they gave me 442073565000. I phoned it back on my mobile, but no one answered - it was obviously a scam. Please don’t give out your details and avoid using your landline. Use your mobile to check with your provider instead. If you use your landline, they might still be connected to it. Talking to BT, not these scammers, is the best.

Please don’t give out your details and don’t use your landline - always use your mobile to confirm with your service provider. If you use the landline, these scammers still might be listening. Talking to BT themselves is much safer.

Got a call from an Asian chap saying he was BT tech support, claiming they saw we had issues with our internet speed. He told my missus to go onto a certain website. She wasn’t having any of it and asked for a callback number so I could sort it out when I got back. The bloke replied with “Don’t you use the internet then?” which sounded off. She hesitantly took down this number (02073 565000), but he kept pushing her to log on, luckily she didn’t. Felt pretty dodgy to me.

Got a call from this number, a woman named Lisa answered. Then yesterday I got three calls from hidden numbers. Today I'm getting calls again with the same message saying they are from BT IT Dept, but today the number is 0110555932.

Received a telephone call from a chap named Roger Fernandez, using the number 001218418094. He mentioned I should return his call at 0207356000. Something about a BT issue with the Internet? Honestly, I'm not convinced, Roger. Cheers, "wrighty."

I received two calls from this number today, with the caller claiming to be from BT, insisting that my internet is being used by someone else. I'm quite wary of such things, so I requested their contact number to return the call. The first caller simply hung up when I asked for it. On the second call, however, a bloke did provide me with a number, but I've just looked it up and, lo and behold, it turned out to be a scam. Quite the cheek, I must say!

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said her name was Erica Wilson. She started asking about my internet and told me to ring 02073565000 if I wanted to check who she was. I doubt BT would waste their time on this, especially since they’re not even my provider.

Got a call claiming to be from BT Openreach, but as soon as I asked questions, they hung up. He said he had a cold and that’s why he sounded weird. Nah mate, you sounded shady because your name wasn't George and you definitely weren’t from BT Openreach. The number was 02678421670.

I just got a call from this number and quickly figured out it was a scam. I told the caller that he might find more fulfilment working with a proper business instead of trying to swindle those who are easily fooled. His response was a barrage of foul language. I reckon that speaks volumes!

I received a call from a chap with an Indian accent, claiming to be from BT Openreach. When I mentioned that I wasn't a BT customer, he went completely quiet on me. It was clear that his script didn’t prepare him for an unexpected response like that!

My 81 year old mum got a call from someone named Jason saying he was from BT Openreach. He told her her internet would be cut off in 24 hours because her computer was supposedly sending harmful stuff. Thankfully I was nearby and answered the phone instead. I told them we don’t even have internet and they just ended the call. I then dialed 1471 and got the number 0161 4480544. This kind of thing is really scary for elderly people.

I got a call from someone named "Kevin Williams", sounded Asian, from 0161 448 0544. He claimed to be from BT Openreach. Didn’t ask any security questions or who I was, nor if I was the one paying the bills. He told me if I wanted to check his identity, I could call 0207 3565 000 and give his badge number BT 063.

Early this morning at about 8.15 I got a call from a young Asian lady claiming to be with Open Reach. I could clearly hear loads of women in the background on the phone all repeating the same story. Pretty sure it’s one of those boiler room scams.

Got a call from someone named "Michael" claiming to be from BT, saying there was a problem with my internet security. He gave me the number 0207 3565 000 and said the office was at 81 Newgate Street, London, with a director named Marc Owen. Asked where I could send my bill for the time wasted. I kept him talking for about 11 minutes before he got rude and hung up on me. This was the second call from them today.

A chap named Thomas, who had quite the Indian accent, rang me up claiming that people were tapping into my internet connection. Strangely enough, he also seemed to possess my home address. He was urging me to connect my computer so he could demonstrate how to secure my online presence. I told him that wasn’t feasible because I’ve got a password set up. He kept pushing, so I requested his name and address to verify his credentials. He tossed out the number 02073565000 and asserted that he had already been in touch with my provider. Curious, I quizzed him on who my provider was, but predictably, he was stumped and couldn’t provide an answer. Definitely a scam - steer clear!

Got a call from someone called josh nolan who said my internet connection was insecure. He tried to convince me my secure customer number was 32 digits long, giving me only the first eight and last three to verify. Told him I had to get to work, and he gave his name and a landline number 02073 565000, said he was from BT tech support and that he'd ring back later. I phoned BT and they confirmed they'd never contacted me. Even tho he spoke proper English, I could tell he was definitely Eastern European.

Some bloke said he was from BT and claimed they were cutting off my line from tomorrow. He sounded Asian, then handed the phone to a mate of his, probably a supervisor. I just hung up, but they keep ringing me non stop. This number really needs blocking.

I just had a dodgy phone call myself on the 23rd of August, 2017. It baffles me that these scammers can operate so freely! The number showed as unavailable when I answered, which only heightened my suspicions. It’s about time someone took action to track these folks down and put an end to their nonsense. I couldn't help but think about all the vulnerable individuals who might not see through their tricks-particularly elderly folks who might be caught off guard.

Got two calls in under an hour. The first had no-one there, dead silence. The second guy said he was from BT, claiming there was an issue with my BT internet. When I asked, he gave me the number 0207356000. I tried to call back with 1471 but the number was blocked. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls from that number, so I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, watch out.

This caller was pretty much like the one mentioned back on 07/02/2017. He said he was from BT's tech support about issues with my router (had already phoned me twice that hour). He had a strong Asian accent but insisted his name was Alan Jones and even gave an ‘employee ID’ alongside a callback number. I’m convinced these sorts of calls could be quite risky.

Today I glanced at my phone bill and noticed a charge for a call dated 19th January 2017, lasting a whopping 11 minutes and 8 seconds, amounting to £1.52. The peculiar thing is, I rarely use my landline for making calls, so I’m quite puzzled as to how this has cropped up. I think I’ll start keeping a closer eye on my usage from now on, just to keep tabs on any suspicious numbers, and once I've gathered enough evidence, I might just get in touch with BT for some clarification.

Got a call from a bloke saying he was from BT and that my line would be cut off for 4 or 5 days. There was loads of noise in the background. Didn’t trust him, so asked for his number to call back - he said 02073 565 000. Asked who I should speak to, he said Michael Richards. I hung up and did a 1471, but it just said the call was from "00" today. Anyone know if this is legit?

I received a phone call earlier today from an individual purporting to be from BT OpenReach, insisting that my Broadband speed isn't up to par. I was about to head out the door, so I requested a contact number to return their call, to which they provided this one. To say I'm sceptical is an understatement; there's absolutely no chance I’ll be ringing that number back.

I just received a rather dubious phone call from this number. The chap claimed to be representing BT, mentioning that there was an issue reported regarding broadband connectivity in my vicinity. Now, I must admit we’ve experienced a minor glitch with the internet, but seeing as I hadn’t alerted anyone about it, I was understandably sceptical. He went by the name Alan Weng and insisted I could ring him back if he shared his number. Lo and behold, this is the number he provided! Naturally, there's no way I’m picking up the phone again to speak to him.

I've received multiple calls purporting to be from BT OpenReach, claiming there's an issue with my router that requires my immediate attention. The callers identified themselves as John Watson and Edward Fox and both had distinctly Indian accents. They provided the number 02073565000. What's quite alarming is their tenacity; they insisted that my internet would be disconnected if I didn't comply with their instructions. The very first thing they asked me to do was to hold down the Windows key and press R, which I promptly ignored. To make matters more confusing, this number is also listed as a legitimate BT contact. Can anyone shed light on this? Regards, T from Bristol.

I received a phone call today purportedly from BT, claiming to be Matt Wilson from the Openreach Technology Division. He spoke with an Indian accent, which raised my suspicions, especially since there was no caller ID displayed. When I inquired about their contact number, he provided 0207356 5000. I refrained from sharing any personal information, but the caller was rather insistent. Please exercise caution if you encounter this number. Best, AL - Doncaster
