Reports on phone number 02080503679
2 yearsGot loads of calls every day for the past few days from someone saying they’re from my mobile network. They’ve actually taken money from me, watch out, these are scammers!3 yearsHe claimed to be representing EE, but I informed him that I don't use their services and promptly ended the call. Definitely sounded like one of those dodgy scam calls!EE3 yearsI received a call on my mobile from 0208 079 8035 on the 15th of May, 2023, just after 1.50 pm. It appeared as a London number, and it rang incessantly for about two minutes before it disconnected. Quite strangely, they didn’t leave any voicemail or message.London4 yearsEvery bloody day Inspire Telecom keeps calling me even tho I said I wasn’t interested. Had enough now, so I just blocked them.Inspire Telecom4 yearsI reckon this is the eighth occasion I've received a call from this number.4 yearsThis number rang me twice, once yesterday and again today. I usually don’t pick up random numbers, and if they don’t bother to leave a voicemail (which happens almost every time), I just assume it’s not important and don’t bother returning the call.4 yearsThey’re purporting to be a firm named Inspire, yet it seems BT has ceased to function as a company altogether.InspireBT4 yearsI’ve been using Inspire Telecom for about two years now and honestly, it’s been great. Definitely not a scam or anything like that. My bills are much cheaper than what I used to pay with BT. Plus, their customer service is top-notch and all proper British folks, which makes sorting things out so much easier. No complaints at all!Inspire TelecomBT4 yearsI've just received yet another call after hanging up previously. It’s high time someone took action against these fraudsters who seem intent on preying on those who are most at risk.4 yearsGot two calls from them already today, a woman speaking really quickly, saying she could lower my broadband and phone charges. Sounded really sure of herself and quite believable at first. But when I asked her a few things, she got a bit shaky. Seems like just another cold call scam, probably trying to fish for my details. I’d reckon it’s not to be trusted.4 yearsGot a call from Inspire Telecom today, same old sales spiel about cutting my phone bill. They gave me a quote covering line rental, broadband and calls. I quickly worked out the total and checked it against my existing BT bill. Once I pointed out their price was actually higher, the bloke on the other end just hung up! Honestly, steer clear of these lot!Inspire TelecomBT4 yearsLike a few folks here have mentioned, a polite young chap rang me up claiming he could help lower my BT charges, but it all seemed a bit dodgy since he just had my name. Probably coz I’m not listed as ex-directory or summat.4 yearsI looked into it and they seem legit, they even gave me a link to their site first: https://www.inspiretelecom.co.uk/. Did some digging and found out they’re registered and have a contract with Openreach. Definitely not as big as BT tho.inspiretelecomcoOpenreachBT4 yearsThe other day, I got a call from Inspire Telecom, they said they could help lower my bill. Being a bit older, I wasn’t sure about giving any info over the phone. They asked for some account info to get things sorted. After doing a bit of digging online, I found their website and seen reviews on Trustpilot. Turns out, they seem genuine. So, I rang back the young man and ended up signing up with them.Inspire TelecomTrustpilot4 yearsAt first I wasn’t sure about Inspire Telecom, a bit iffy actually, but the young guy I spoke to was really helpful. He managed to lower my bill without any hassle, nice and straightforward.Inspire Telecom4 yearsI got a call from 02080503679 earlier today, Tuesday 12th April. Anyone know who that might be?4 yearsGot a lively bloke on the phone from Inspire Telecom, and I’m pretty sure it was a scam. I mentioned I worked as a director at Openreach, but he just kept going with his spiel like nothing.Inspire TelecomOpenreach4 yearsSomebody called saying they could lower my phone bill by about 15 quid each month. They mentioned Openreach owns the line but BT handles the billing. Towards the end, they asked for my account number and sort code, which felt a bit dodgy. I'd say steer clear of this one for sure.OpenreachBT4 yearsThe voice sounded way too cheerful to be legit, defo a scam, so don’t get tricked by it.4 yearsGot two calls from a bloke who sounded pretty cheerful and sure of himself, saying he was with Openreach. He claimed they own the phone lines and accused BT of ripping me off. When I asked if he could send something in writing, he just said, "how interesting" and then dropped the call! Quite odd really.Openreach4 yearsAbsolutely blatant scammer here - this bloke was annoyingly upbeat, trying to chat about my BT contract. Didn’t buy his daft tale about Openreach being my new provider and BT only handling the billing! Anyone who knows that Openreach just maintains the lines for companies like BT will spot this straight away. He’s a total con artist - watch out and don't trust anything from this number.BTOpenreach4 yearsAbout an hour ago I left a comment but forgot to add that the bloke said he worked with a firm called Inspire Telecoms. I checked them out on the Company House site and it turns out they’re basically just a solo operation with only a secretary who might be his partner or something.Inspire TelecomsCompanies House4 yearsA young bloke called me, sounded really sure of himself. He was convincing me he could lower my monthly charges. I wasn’t having any of it though and turned him down straight away.4 yearsHe called saying that Openreach actually owns my phone line, not BT, and reckoned I might be shelling out way more than necessary, like £40 to £50 a month. I told him that wasn’t right and when he asked how much I was paying, I just said I wasn’t going to share. Then he went on about how BT’s raising their prices and said he’d give me another call in a few months.BTOpenreach4 yearsSo this bloke from BT or Openreach rang me up and started going on about some charges that seemed way too steep. I thought it was a bit fishy, told him it didn’t sit right with me, and just cut the call there and then!BTOpenreach4 yearsI received a rather talkative call from this number earlier today. A woman identified herself as being from Open Reach and began with a comment about their vans - "I'm certain you've spotted them about, madam". I requested her to skip to the chase, and she proceeded to inform me that Open Reach had acquired BT and that she could offer me a more advantageous deal. I replied that I'd prefer to wait for official correspondence rather than engage with a cold call. At that point, she abruptly disconnected the call.Open ReachBT5 yearsAvoid answering calls from 02080503679, it’s a Microsoft scam. They try to trick you into giving them remote access to your PC so they can steal your info. Don’t fall for it!Microsoft5 yearsThey've rung me like five times now, just to ask who’s been sorting the bills. Bit annoying at this point.5 yearsThey've been ringing me up about who’s handled the payments. Honestly, this is like the fifth time they’ve called!5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise. I'm with BT Broadband, so they definitely have my info, which makes me think it wasn't actually them. The phone only buzzed a couple of times today and didn't ring for long at all. Quite odd, really.BT BroadbandBT5 yearsGot a call from a lady who spoke really quickly, saying she could cut my phone and internet bills. She barely let me get a word in, seemed so genuine that I nearly bit. I told her to ring again the next day. Then I checked this website and wow, loads of people have had issues with her. So when she calls again, I'll just say no nicely.5 yearsGot a call from Inspire Telecom, sounded like they were just trying to fish for some personal info. Played along for a while to waste their time before I decided to report them to the ICO.Inspire TelecomICO5 yearsA really lively lady on the line.5 yearsI've been receiving incessant calls, about three or four times daily. It's best not to pick up when they ring.5 yearsWe tried switching our phone and broadband service to them, but they just brushed us off!5 yearsSounded a bit too slick to me, already had my address and all the details. Asked to speak to the person on the phone account, seemed like they knew the amount of phone lines and broadband I had. Tried to pitch me a 'better deal' for switching, but something felt off so I just ended the call. Number's now blocked.5 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Openreach, saying they could lower my phone bill compared to what I'm currently paying BT. The lady's English was impeccable, and she was quite persuasive, but I made it clear that unsolicited calls like this aren't appropriate. I also refused to share any personal information over the phone before ending the conversation abruptly.Openreach5 yearsReceived a brief call at 10:25 this morning, lasted just a moment before it cut off.5 yearsFor three days straight, this number 02080503679 kept ringing me. The person on the other end sounded either tipsy or just mumbled nonsense before suddenly hanging up. Really frustrating!5 yearsSo I got a call from a lass saying she wanted to offer us cheaper internet and broadband, but then she said BT dont own our line anymore. Bit confusing, really.BT5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were a firm stepping in for BT via OpenReach - totally nonsense!BT5 yearsReally unusual to get a call from this number so early in the morning. Normally we don’t pick up if we don’t know the number, especially at that time. It’s pretty unsettling when you’ve got older family members around - your mind just jumps to worrying about bad news when the phone rings that early.5 yearsI received a call supposedly from Inspire Telecom, which struck me as odd since I couldn't recall ever reaching out to them. The gentleman on the line was quite persistent, repeatedly requesting my landline number. I pointed out that if they were truly looking to lower my charges, they'd already have my details on file. He intriguingly claimed that my current contract with my provider was invalid. I asked him to send me an email with the specifics, and decided to end the conversation at that point.Inspire Telecom5 yearsGot a call from some bloke named Aran about my internet. He reckoned I was forking out way too much cash. When he asked if I just had a single phone line, I didn’t bother answering and ended up blocking the number straight away.Aran5 yearsGot a call from 02080503679 claiming they could lower my internet bill, sounded like a total scam so I just ended the call. They rang again later but I've blocked them now.5 yearsGot a call from 02080503679, said they were from BT but sounded fishy - turns out it’s a broadband scam. Watch out!5 yearsHad a call from a lady who mentioned my name right off, but I never said anything back. Asked her who she was and what she wanted. Then she tried guessing my phone provider was B.T - I just told her to have another guess. After that, she said I get my internet from Plusnet, and I replied, “That’s a secret between me and me, ta very much. Goodbye!” and hung up. Did my normal lookup afterwards and surprise, surprise - it was just another one of those scam or phishing groups.B. TPlusnet5 yearsGot a call from a really polite guy who told me BT and OpenReach aren’t together anymore, so I could get a cheaper bill through OpenReach now. He mentioned that he was aware we’d been having wifi issues and something wrong with the copper cables. Creepy thing was, he already knew my last name, where I live and even my postcode! When he asked for my email, I told him to ring me back instead. Sounded super legit!BTOpenReach5 yearsA rather courteous chap rang me up, claiming that BT and OpenReach have gone their separate ways, which would allow me to benefit from a lower tariff via OpenReach. He mentioned that he was aware of my recent WiFi issues and some troubles we’ve been having with the copper wiring. Strangely, he already had my surname, address, and postcode at his fingertips! When he inquired about my email address, I told him to give me a bell later... Quite the convincing character, wasn't he?BTOpenReach5 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from BT, claiming they could lower my monthly charges. However, the woman on the line seemed rather jittery, so I decided to end the conversation.BT5 yearsI got a call from this woman who spoke so quickly, all I managed to hear was something about an account holder. I told her I’m deaf and if they actually knew who they were calling, they wouldn’t be ringing me up like this - seriously, HELLO, DEAF here! They should be using other methods to get in touch with me. After that, I just said goodbye. Later, I realised this wasn’t the first time they’d called; I’d blocked the number before, but somehow it still ended up on my phone. So frustrating!5 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Openreach and said I was being overcharged by BT.Openreach5 yearsLooks like another billing scam, watch out folks!5 yearsCaller ID showed attempts two days in a row to reach me. Checked it out here just to be sure - definitely nothing worthwhile, just time-wasters.5 yearsI got a call from some woman who spoke ridiculously quick. She kept saying she could lower my phone and internet charges, even said she could beat BT’s deals. I never make decisions over the phone like that. I could tell it was dodgy straight away, and honestly, rushing through everything just made me more certain it was a scam!BT5 yearsI'm constantly being hounded by these callers. My phone's always on voicemail, yet they just won't take a hint and leave me be! It's rather infuriating, to say the least!5 yearsInspire claims to be a cheap wholesale phone line provider, bragging about undercutting BT. But honestly, their service isn't as good and the price isn't as low as it seems. They sneak in extra charges by making you pay line rental upfront. I'd be careful dealing with them and insist on having all costs clearly written down. Also, they apparently don’t send any marketing materials, which felt a bit odd to me.BT5 yearsInspire claims to be a wholesale phone line supplier and talks big about undercutting BT’s prices. Thing is, they don’t deliver the same service quality or even the price they boast about. They sneak in extra costs by charging line rental upfront, which isn’t exactly clear from the start. Definitely watch out and make sure you get every detail written down. Funny enough, they supposedly don’t even send marketing materials through the mail.BT5 yearsI ended the call as soon as I started talking.5 yearsI just ended the call as soon as I heard their voice.5 yearsTotal rip off! Stay well clear!5 yearsThey barely let it ring before hanging up, definitely some kind of scam going on.5 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she wanted to talk to whoever owns the number. She said she could help make the phone bill cheaper. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.5 yearsSome woman called, claiming she wasn’t with BT but another phone firm, saying my broadband bill was too high. How on earth would they know that? Plus, she was jabbering away way too quickly.BT5 yearsTotal con. Stay away from this number.5 yearsSo far today, on 11 March 2021, ive had 5 scam calls. I didnt answer any of them and reported every single one. The number 02080503679 ring me twice today. I just ended the call without saying anything, then marked it as harassing.5 yearsGot a call from a bright, friendly woman saying she was with BT. She asked if I was the one who holds the account. That’s not me. Anytime I’ve had a real call from BT, they usually ask for the account holder by their actual name.BT5 yearsTried to ring 1115 on a Monday and no one answered. No voicemail was left, so it’s evidently a dodgy caller or a scam.5 yearsI received a phone call from someone who said they were representing Openreach, claiming they were somehow more significant than BT. I decided to end the conversation prematurely before she could continue with her pitch.OpenreachBT5 yearsHad a call early today from a girl who said her name was Charlotte. She was trying to sell me a deal with lower rates or something like that. When I asked how much I'm paying each month right now, she had no clue. I told her I'd mull it over and then just ended the call. Felt a bit iffy about it, so I just stopped talking.Charlotte6 yearsGot two rings then it just cut off. I’m not one for calling back unless I’m sure who’s on the other end. ❤️6 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from BT, suggesting they could switch me to a more economical tariff, and they assured me that all the necessary documents would be dispatched this evening. They requested my bank account details, but I wasn’t comfortable sharing that information.BT6 yearsSo this caller said they were from "Avaya," which they said is linked to BT? Anyway, they tried telling me my bill was way too high. But the funny part? They got my name totally wrong - didn't even come close with either first or last name, not a single initial was right. Seriously makes you wonder if these people ever learned anything back in school or if they just keep winging it as they go along.AvayaBT6 yearsThey attempted to persuade me to change my home phone service provider.6 yearsJust like others have said, I got a call from someone saying they were with Inspire Telecom offering cheaper calls. I told them to send me something in writing because I never trust these cold calls to buy anything over the phone.Inspire Telecom6 yearsGot a bloke on the phone pretending to be from B.T., telling me he could slash my bills. Definitely not a genuine B.T. call. After reading other posts here, it’s clear he was just trying to scam info and push stuff I had no use for. Honestly, these calls drive me mad. I keep asking myself, why does B.T. let this happen? I’m fed up with getting 15 to 20 of these dodgy calls every single week. Makes me think B.T. must be cashing in on all this rubbish, or else they’d sort it out. Properly annoyed now.B. T.6 yearsI received an authentic call from a company named 'Inspire' promising to lower my phone bill.Inspire6 yearsReceived a call on the 30th of October, 2020, precisely at 4:26 PM. The moment I picked up, the line went dead, leaving me with no details to share! Quite unhelpful, really.6 yearsI received a call on the 17th of August, but they hung up before I could catch a word.6 yearsHad a couple of calls from this number but I didn’t pick up since it showed as unknown.6 yearsJust like a few others have said, I got a call from a very polite woman who claimed she worked for a company called Inspire, supposedly linked to Openreach. She promised cheaper phone bills but didn’t even have a clue about what I’m currently paying, which is the same amount each month. I told her thanks and that I’d look into it myself and maybe get in touch with BT too. She then wished me good luck and hung up on me. Bit suspicious if you ask me!InspireOpenreachBT6 yearsMy wife got a call from a woman who sounded quite polite, trying to pitch cheaper phone rates. Since my wife isn’t the one on the account, she didn’t know how much we’re actually paying and couldn’t check any bills. The lady said she’d call back later in the week. I’m surprised she didn’t already have the bill details, seemed a bit dodgy if you ask me.6 yearsInspire Telecom called me saying that BT is just a wholesale firm now and that they were charging me more since I’m a retail customer. That sounded dodgy to me, so I told them off and hung up, then blocked the number. After having a quick look online about Inspire Telecom, seems I wasn’t wrong to be wary of them. They’re trying to take advantage of the Openreach and BT split.Inspire TelecomBTOpenreach6 yearsI received a rather odd call from a woman claiming to be from BT, saying she could help us lower our bills. Curiously enough, she asked for the amount we were currently paying. My wife, unfortunately, didn’t have the billing details at hand, so she responded without that information. The lady mentioned she’d give us a ring again later this week. It struck me as peculiar that she didn’t already know what our bill was. Very strange indeed!BT6 yearsThey were claiming to be with BT and offered to lower my bills by separating from Openreach. I noticed their vans looked a bit dodgy, so I decided to call BT directly to check.BTOpenreach6 yearsGot called from 02080503679 - was a lot of noise in the background, sounded just like one of those busy call centres. They said they were with "Inside Telecom," claiming to be similar to BT but offering cheaper rates. Turns out, Inside Telecom is more like a magazine, nothing to do with BT or anything similar. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.BT6 yearsthey claimed to be from bt and said they could lower my phone bills. i just said the person they were asking for wasn't here.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Openreach, part of BT, claiming they could lower my phone bill. But from what I found online, Openreach never actually calls customers directly. Feels fishy to me.OpenreachBTSubmit Your Own Report (020 8050 3679)
