Phone number ☎️ 02088475221 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation posing as BT or Openreach, often involving aggressive or rude callers with Indian accents. They claim there are issues with your broadband or router, sometimes threatening disconnection or urging access to devices. Multiple reports confirm these calls are fraudulent with no legitimate connection to BT, and genuine BT communications come from 0800 numbers. Callers often hang up if questioned or asked for proof, and some use abusive language. Recipients are advised not to engage, avoid giving any personal or financial information, and block the number. Vigilance is essential, especially for those less familiar with technology, as scammers attempt to exploit fears and technical uncertainty. Reporting to authorities and telecom providers is encouraged.

4 yearsThey said they were from Carphone Warehouse, but it was totally dodgy.Carphone Warehouse4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse offering cheap SIM card deals, but watch out, it felt like a scam to me.Carphone Warehouse8 yearsGot a call earlier today from a woman claiming to be Rose from BT. She said there was something wrong with my internet. I told her everything was working perfectly, I was even online right then. She insisted it was my router that had a virus. When I asked what she planned to do, she just kept going on with some scripted spiel about detecting the virus on their side. I joked that I hoped it wasn’t contagious, then ended the call. The phone rang a couple of times right after, so I just unplugged it.RoseBT8 yearsGot a ring on my home phone from this number but I chose not to pick up, felt like it was just some pointless bother. Turns out I was spot on! Not long after, they rang again but this time it came through as private. Honestly, one of these days I’m going to miss a call that actually matters because of these annoying lot.8 yearsA couple of days back, they tried ringing me, but I’ve been feeling really poorly lately, so I didn't pick up on any calls - not even from my own family. After seeing all these posts, I’m actually relieved I didn’t bother. It makes me question what the British police are doing with their massive salaries, fancy pensions, and those booze-filled Christmas bonuses? We need to see some proper arrests and people actually doing time, for once. Honestly, it’s like they’re all part of some never-ending scam squad.8 yearsWatch out for this number, it’s a total scam! We found out the hard way when they wiped out our account. Seriously, don’t hand over any details to them.8 yearsThe number 02088475221 kept ringing me, but because it wasn’t one I knew, I just ignored it. It went to my voicemail each time, yet there was never anything recorded. I’ve decided to block it now, so next time they call, they’ll just get an automated reply telling them to buzz off.8 yearsAbout the number 02088475221, it has rung me a couple of times recently with someone saying they were from BT. I got suspicious, so I rang BT myself and they said it definitely wasn't them and warned me it was a scam. They mentioned that if BT ever phones you, it'll be from an 0800 number. Best thing to do is just ignore and hang up on these calls.BT8 yearsGot this number 02088475221 call me, then... complete silence when I answered! We just ended up hanging up. Weird!8 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke who somehow knew my name, even though I’m ex-directory. He said he was from BT/Openreach and told me I had issues with my router. He wanted me to use my laptop to keep an eye on the repair process, saying it’d be faster than waiting for BT to sort it through the router, which apparently would take ages. When I said I didn’t have a laptop or computer, he just ended the call. Really dodgy scam, especially for folks who aren’t good with tech.BTOpenreach8 yearsGot a call from these annoying lot thrice today, and it's Bank Holiday too! Missed the first two, and when I finally answered, all I could hear was a loud argument behind the caller, so I just ended it straight away. Why bother with all these call-blocking services if they don't stop this rubbish from coming through? Seriously, what's the use?Bank8 yearsThe bloke reckoned he was calling from Pakistan but the number showed London so who knows what was true. He went on about some supposed illegal stuff happening with my router, asking how many devices were connected. I told him like my microwave, motorbike, PS2, hoover and washing machine just to mess with him. Then he twigged I was winding him up and suddenly started hurling nasty insults about my mum. Honestly, he should really clean his mouth out, what a proper little git.PakistanLondon8 yearsHe rang up saying there was an issue with my line, then asked me "How many gadgets are hooked up to your router?" I told him I didn’t know and he just ended the call.8 yearsCheers for the heads up about the silent calls. I’m sure they’ll just keep buzzing away until I pick up.8 yearsGot called three times today by a guy from India. Told him if BT needs to reach me, they should just send an email.BT8 yearsJust a few hours back, got a call from 02088475221. Didn't know the number, so I answered and stayed quiet, waiting for them to say something. Then this guy with an Indian accent comes on and blurts out something like "Is there any mother f..." - really rude! Then, later today, another call came in from a different number, also some Indian bloke talking about my internet. When I told him I had no clue who he was or where he was calling from, and made it clear I wasn’t interested, he got all short with me. Ended the call pretty quick after that.8 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke rambling on about my BT router and internet. Told him I don’t even have WiFi and just hung up. Feels like a total scam to me.8 yearsGot a call from a guy, claimed his name was Henry Wilson and said he was calling from BT about some issue with our internet. He asked me to plug in my computer to something, but I didn’t give him any info. As soon as I asked for more details, he just hung up. Total scam!Henry WilsonBT8 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Indian accent claiming BT would cut off our broadband for nearly a month and we had to switch providers. Obviously sounded dodgy to me. I asked to speak to the business owner and then just ended the call. What a waste of time! Total muppet.BT8 yearsGot a call just a bit ago from someone claiming to be BT Openreach, saying my internet was going to be cut off for 28 days because of a corrupted router. He wanted to know if I owned a computer or laptop (I only use a tablet), and when I said no, he just ended the call straight away. Totally sounds like a scam to me. If BT were really stopping my service, I’d be calling them up to sort out a refund, not getting a phone call like that!BT8 yearsUtterly fraudulent! They pretended to be from BT Openreach, insisting that they were cutting off our internet service. The irony? We don’t even have internet!BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call with no one speaking so decided to look up the number here. Appreciate the details shared!8 yearsSomeone said they were from BT Openreach and told us there were problems with our wifi connection.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from a guy saying he was with BT, telling me there was dodgy activity on my router and that they'd have to cut me off for 10 days. I knew straight away that was fishy since my internet's not through BT at all. The bloke had a really sharp Indian accent and was quite rude too - actually sounded exactly like someone who tried to scam my bank info a few months back. Watch out for this one!BT8 yearsReceived a rather unpleasant call from someone with a thick accent, claiming to be from BT. He informed me that there had been strange goings-on with my router and that they'd be disconnecting my internet for ten days! When I mentioned that my router was actually from Sky, he promptly transferred me to his 'supervisor' who supposedly represented Sky! I'm nearly convinced this is the same impolite individual who contacted me a while back attempting to fish for my bank account details. Just a word of caution to others.BTSky8 yearsSomeone rang me earlier and was trying to convince me I was with BT. I said we weren't, but they just wouldn’t listen and started arguing. Out of nowhere, they swore at me, which was quite shocking.BT8 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be from BT Openreach saying there was an issue with my internet. I shut him down straight away, told him he wasn’t who he said he was, and hung up before he could get a word in.BT Openreach8 yearsThere was quite a bit of racket and some chaps in the background jabbering away with what sounded like a foreign accent, but honestly, there was no coherent conversation happening. Clearly, it’s one of those dodgy calls from overseas call centres. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.8 yearsThey ring me like three times daily but never bother to leave any voicemail. I've checked the reviews here and decided it's best not to pick up.8 yearsSuch a frustrating call, they just stayed silent and wasted my time completely.8 yearsSomeone said they were from BT Openreach, but after messaging BT and Openreach, both confirmed no one had tried to call us - definitely sounded like a scam to me. My partner, who’s not very tech savvy, believed them and was told to access some odd IP addresses that aren’t linked to BT at all. Luckily, because the local exchange box wasn’t working properly, our broadband was down at the time, so she couldn’t follow through with their instructions. We dodged a bullet here, honestly, don’t trust these types of calls!BTOpenreach8 yearsI have no idea how these numpties got my mobile number, but they called me anyway. It just rang and rang, then cut off without saying anything. Absolute muppets.8 yearsSomebody called me saying they were from BT Openreach about my broadband. As soon as I told them I run a Telecoms firm, they just put the phone down on me. I’m definitely going to report this number to Ofcom. Honestly, no one should be handing over any info to these people.BT OpenreachOfcom8 yearsGot a call earlier but nothing, just total silence on the other end.8 yearsNo idea why these folks even bother, total scam if you ask me.8 yearsGot two calls today where nobody said a word. Pretty clear it’s just some call centre scam trying their luck.8 yearsThis number just called me once more, claiming to be Richard Wilson from BT Openreach. They said there was an issue with my internet router and line, and offered to fix it. Luckily, I’d seen the earlier reviews and ended the call when they wouldn’t take no for an answer.Richard WilsonBT Openreach8 yearsTotal rip off, watch out.8 yearsGot a call from someone with a thick Indian accent saying they were with BT broadband and wanted to “improve” my internet. When I asked for my name, they couldn’t even get it right and started going on about some ‘customer ID’ nonsense. I asked if he was having a laugh and just ended the call.BT Broadband8 yearsGot a call claiming to be from OpenReach saying there was a problem with our broadband and to check the laptop. When I questioned if it was really them, the caller just started shouting rude words, mixing Hindi and English. Proper dodgy!8 yearsGot a random call about broadband, and when I told her she needed to remove us from their list, she just hung up before I could even finish.8 yearsI missed the call but when I looked up the number, it turned out to be another scam.8 yearsMissed the call and didn't pick up fast enough! If it truly mattered, surely they’d have left a voicemail? Anyway, now this number’s definitely on my ‘do not answer’ list.Submit Your Own Report (020 8847 5221)
