02085705952 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02085705952 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call linked to fraudulent claims of internet or broadband problems, often impersonating major providers like BT, Virgin Media, Sky, or AOL. Callers typically use heavy Asian accents and noisy backgrounds, aiming to induce recipients to grant remote computer access or provide personal information. Many who answer experience harassment, rude behaviour, and aggressive tactics. The number frequently calls multiple times daily, including early mornings, leaving users frustrated and warning others to ignore or block the calls. Official providers confirm it is not a legitimate contact. Victims are advised never to follow instructions, share details, or engage, instead reporting to relevant authorities and employing call blockers when possible. There is widespread concern that these calls are difficult to trace or fully stop, despite complaints.

Someone called claiming to be from HMRC and said I had an arrest warrant for not paying taxes. I rang back and some "Officer xxx" picked up. Usually I don’t get bothered by this stuff but it’s still pretty unsettling to get calls like that.

This number rang my home phone while I wasn't in, but they left a voicemail saying urgent documents were sent to me and returned unclaimed. They claimed a warrant's been issued for my arrest because I've supposedly ignored them. I lost count how many times this same number has called, pretending to be from Virgin, AOL, or tech support. It's getting seriously annoying now. These calls really need to be blocked - not sure how, but the phone providers NEED to take some serious action pronto.

Today, I had about 5 calls from some noisy crowd, loads of talking so couldn’t really hear the woman clearly. She was saying something about our Sky internet being down, but we don’t even have Sky, plus it’s a business number not a home line. Honestly, I reckon the fraud squad needs to step in and do something about these scammers.

Been getting loads of calls every day this past week, all saying they're from Virgin Media. They stick to a script no matter what, even when I tried to change the subject they just went right back to it. They try to get you to open a website through the command prompt. Don't fall for it!

Surely the police could catch these scammers and put them in court, right? I've just had three calls in the space of an hour from supposed BT reps. The last one got told to buzz off - fingers crossed they get the hint! Who knows though...

Haha, this bloke said he was calling from Virgin about my internet issues. Asked me to switch on my computer, but I just played along, pretending it was upstairs and took ages to load (had zero plans to actually switch it on). Kept him hanging for about 10 minutes, then he wanted to pass me to his supervisor. I bombarded her with dumb questions, then asked for her phone number, which she gave me. Told her I’d ring back, and she goes, “ok love you”. Turns out it was a fake number. Don’t fall for these muppets!

Got a ring from this number and they kept saying someone was messing with my account. They forced me to follow some steps to fix it. The line was terrible, loads of background noise, almost impossible to catch what they were saying. I said I doubted it was really BT and asked them for my details. They gave me completely wrong name and address, then kept pushing that I was this ‘other person’ at some address I’ve never even heard of. Total madness. I told them they’d got the wrong number and just ended the call.

Dodgy call claiming to be from Virgin about internet issues, don't get caught by these muppets. I was messing with them for quite a while, even asked the woman for her number so I could ring back, and she told me 'I love you' haha. Obviously it was a fake number.

02085705952 - Someone rang me from this number, kept saying I was with AOL for my internet when I actually use BT and Virgin Media. The guy, who sounded Asian, was really pushing that my provider was AOL and tried to say they'd send an engineer round to check. I told him straight up not to send anyone or I'd report it to the police, then he just hung up. Definitely scammers, wish there was more done to stop them. I've since blocked the number on my phone.

This number just rang me up, but there was loads of background noise and I could barely catch what the bloke was on about. He mentioned BT and something about my account being hacked, saying he could fix it. I asked to speak to another person a couple of times cos I couldn’t understand him properly - the noise was distracting and his accent was quite thick. He just kept repeating himself, so I ended the call. Then I looked the number up online. Also noticed a couple of voice messages, but they were just filled with background noise again.

This morning I received a couple of calls, one at 8.16 and another at 9.16. There were also two calls yesterday, but I was working then. My other half was home though since he was on a late shift yesterday. The line was so crackly I could hardly understand the bloke speaking. The only thing I caught was something about the BT technical team.

So today I got a phone call from someone who I quickly figured out was trying to scam me. I played along and kept them going for almost half an hour! My laptop battery died on me, and I fumbled through typing what he told me to do. I threw in some fake error messages too, then told him to check something on Google. When I read out loud that it was clearly a scam, he just hung up. Bit ironic he picked an IT person to mess with!

02085705952 - Been getting constant calls for over a day now, it’s proper harassment. Every time I tell them to leave me alone, they just ring back again. I warned them that if they keep it up, I’d have to involve the police. Told the bloke to stop calling, and he flat out refused! Then he said I was shouting at him! Asked to speak to his manager, and he wouldn’t let me, but eventually handed me over. When I spoke to the “manager”, he just hung up on me because I told them to stop calling! Will keep an eye on it and update if it carries on.

I have no idea how 02085705952 got hold of my ex's landline, but they ring up 3 or 4 times a day. The first time he answered, they claimed to be from Sky - it was so noisy I couldn’t make out a word so I just hung up. It’s so annoying now, whenever I see that 020 number, I switch on my answerphone but they still keep calling back. Really wish someone would put a stop to this.

Got a call this morning around 10, the bloke said he was from BT tech support. He claimed there had been several calls from numbers starting with my area code and the first 3 digits of my phone, and said I needed to switch on my BT router and computer immediately. I told him the homeowner wasn’t here - he’s away on holiday - so I couldn’t follow his instructions. But he kept shouting, asking where exactly he was and why he wasn’t available. Then he insisted it was an emergency and I had to turn on the router and computer right away. I refused, saying it wasn’t my computer. After that, he started yelling, demanding to know who the owner was and his name. I told him no way, if he was legit BT he’d already have all that info since he called me. That set him off proper - calling me a liar and worse, shouting abuse down the phone for ages before hanging up. Tried calling back twice but just got nothing or no answer. Real nightmare of a call.

I've had enough of this number popping up. The voice sounds Asian and is super pushy, always cutting me off and insisting they're from BT and that my computer's been compromised. Doesn’t matter how much I try to explain, they just ignore me completely. I even asked for a formal letter about the appointment and requested to talk to a supervisor, but they just kept talking over me. There's this constant background noise every time they ring. Honestly, someone should step in and sort this out, it’s ridiculous.

For anyone thinking BT could fix this, they actually can’t because the number’s not really BT’s. It’s a fake number made using voice over IP, same as loads of others. If it was easy to shut them down, telcos would have done it already. The only real fix would be to block all voip calls from coming through, but that’d block legit services like Skype too.

I told them it's odd since they just called 10 minutes ago saying they were BT, then I hung up. They've called 3 more times in the past 5 minutes alone. Something seriously needs to be done about these annoying calls.

The second one kept saying there was an issue with my internet and downloads, even told me to switch on my computer. I told him he sounded like a scammer, and he got all defensive and started shouting, saying *I* was the scammer! How does that make sense when they’re the ones calling me? Told him to stop bothering me and he hung up. Honestly, depending on how I’m feeling, I either just hang up or mess with them a bit. Don’t get how these lot aren’t shut down yet.

A guy with an Asian accent called me saying his name was Mark and that he was from BT, my internet supplier. I told him the police warned me about calls like this from scammers trying to steal info. He seemed puzzled, asking how an internet company could be involved in that. I then asked him for a London phone number so I could verify the call. He dodged the question but kept insisting he was from BT, which was odd since I don’t even use BT. I ended the call and then used 1471 to get the number back. When I called it, the line said the number wasn’t recognised. Definitely dodgy.
