...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 kept him hanging on for a bit, then told him I’d call Sky myself to verify. The way he spoke to me was honestly quite rude. You could tell he was properly gutted when I said that 😂

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.

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.

He told me my bank details were compromised and then switched to saying my internet was also hacked. Felt like a scam to me - probably just a way for them to cash in by keeping you on the phone.

I couldn’t really catch the name, but it was a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT tech support. She said they were fixing issues across all providers because of some internet or network problem. When I asked for a contact number, she gave me a London number (the same one shown here 0207-7356-5000). However, the call actually came from 0120-0962445.

Got a call just today 22/03/19 from a woman named Lily claiming to be a BT technician from the number 001950460719. She told me my internet connection was hacked by someone in Manchester and needed to be cut off straight away. Then she tried to sell me an upgrade. She asked if I had a laptop, PC, tablet or phone. Didn’t want to hear about iPhones but thought Samsung was acceptable, which struck me as odd. When I asked for a number to call back, she gave me 02073565000. Checking the reviews here, it seems pretty clear it was a scam.

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.

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.

This number has rang me a couple times today claiming to be from BT, saying someones else is using my internet. I got very suspicious and asked for their number so I could ring back. First time a woman just cut off when I asked, then a bloke called back and gave me a number. I looked it up straight away and yeah, definitely a scam.

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.

Got a ring from this number earlier. As soon as I twigged it was a dodgy scam, I suggested the bloke might do better working for a proper company instead of trying to con folks. He didn’t take that well at all and let loose with a load of rude words. That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

Had a bloke ring me up with an Indian accent claiming he was from BT Openreach. I told him I’m not a BT customer, and then he just went quiet. You could tell his little script didn’t cover what to say if you weren’t with BT.

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.

I got a call from a bloke called Thomas who had an Indian accent, saying that someone was using my internet without permission. He even seemed to have my home address, which was a bit creepy. He wanted me to link up my computer so he could “help” secure my internet. I told him there’s no way because I’ve got a password on my connection. He kept pushing, so I asked for his full name and address to ring him later. He shot back with the number 02073565000, claiming he’d already been in touch with my provider. When I asked who that provider was, he couldn’t answer at all, which showed he was making it up. Definitely a scam, so watch out for calls like this!

i ended up talking to a guy called josh nolan who gave me some code so he could fix a security issue i was having with the bt server. he stayed calm even though i was trying to mess with him a bit. definitely one of the most believable scams ive seen like this.

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.

Got a call from this number today, 23/8/17, and it was obviously a scam. The screen just showed “unavailable” so no clue where it was actually from. I could tell straight away it was dodgy, but I worry some older folks might get caught out by it. Hope someone out there is working to catch these scammers soon.

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.

Had the exact same thing happen to me - when I asked for their number they gave me 02073565000. I called 1471 and it just said caller withheld number.

Today I got my phone bill and noticed this number showing up from 19th Jan 17 with a call duration of 11 minutes 8 seconds, costing me £1.52. I hardly ever make calls from my landline, so I’m really puzzled about why this charge is here. I reckon I’ll start keeping an eye on my daily usage so I can spot any strange numbers quickly and then reach out to BT to sort it out.

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?

Got a call earlier from someone pretending to be with BT OpenReach, saying my broadband speed isn't up to scratch. I was about to leave the house, so I asked if they could give me a number to ring them back on - they did give me one, but it looks dodgy. Obviously, I’m not planning on calling it.

I got a call from this number claiming to be from BT. The guy said there’s been some kind of issue with broadband in my neighbourhood. Our internet has been a bit slow, but I never actually reported anything. I told him (he said his name was Alan Weng) to give me his number so I could ring back if needed, and this was the number he gave me! Of course, no way I’m calling him again.

I’ve received about three calls supposedly from BT OpenReach claiming there’s an issue with my router and asking me to enter some commands. They said their number was 02073565000 and the callers gave names like John Watson and Edward Fox, both with Indian accents. They kept insisting my internet would be disconnected if I didn’t follow their instructions. One of the first things they told me to do was press the Windows key and R together - obviously I didn’t do it. The strange thing is this number is actually listed as a BT contact, so I’m not sure what to make of it. Anyone got any ideas? - T from Bristol

Received a call from someone claiming to be Matt Wilson from BT's Openreach Tech team, sounded Indian and had no ID showing up. He gave me a number - 0207 356 5000 - when I asked, but I never shared any personal info. He kept pushing though, which seemed off. Watch out for this one! - AL, Doncaster
