Phone number ☎️ 02089984857 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers impersonating BT technicians to falsely claim there are internet issues. The callers, often speaking with foreign accents, pressurise recipients to grant remote access to their devices under the guise of fixing problems or sending engineers. Many targets have clarified their provider is not BT and received multiple calls in a short span, with calls sometimes ending abruptly when challenged. The scammers sometimes provide vague claims about “BT servers” or attempt to collect device information, raising concerns about potential security risks and unauthorised access. Frequent complaints highlight frustration over lack of effective blocking or regulatory action, emphasising the importance of vigilance and avoiding engagement with unsolicited technical support calls.

7 yearsIt seems I've had a rather unsavoury encounter with a scammer purporting to represent BT, hailing from India no less. He rang me up insisting that my internet was experiencing issues that, quite frankly, don't exist! I ended the call rather abruptly after throwing in a few stern warnings to ensure he doesn't bother me again. Cheers to that!BTIndia9 yearsHad a few calls from this number on the 13th of June, all about some “internet issues” they said. When I told them our internet isn't with BT, they kept insisting it was. Proper dodgy, that one.BT9 yearsThey didn't leave any message at all.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I’d downloaded some dodgy file. Since I’m in networking, I was clueless how she’d even know that. Told her it was total rubbish, especially since I hadn’t been online for days while I was away. She just cut me off right after.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, saying there was an issue with my internet connection. When I asked who my actual provider was, she just said it didn’t matter since everyone uses BT’s network. She asked me to switch on my computer so she could help fix it. I told her that if she was so sure, she’d know who my provider is already, and I wasn’t aware anything was wrong, so I ended the call pretty quickly.BT9 yearsGot one of those scam calls again, saying they're from BT. It’s crazy these numbers aren’t blocked yet. You'd think BT or other phone companies would have sorted it by now, but nope. They clearly come from abroad but show up as a London number. I’m still holding out hope that the telecom regulators will actually crack down rather than just giving lame reasons for why nothing changes.BTOfcomLondon9 yearsi got a call from a guy with a strong accent saying he was calling from bt about my internet. i told him i don't have bt for my internet and then cut the call real quick.BT9 yearsGot a call from 02089984857, looked like it was from Mumbai. They tried the whole new economy scam thing, acting like they were from BT saying my security was compromised. Total hacking attempt, watch out!MumbaiBT9 yearsThis number has called me three times in just a single day now. The most recent caller was a woman with an accent that seemed foreign. She claimed to be from my internet company. When I asked for the name, she said BT. I told her I wasn’t a BT customer and ended the call.BT9 yearsGot a call this morning at eight, obviously just another scam. Didn't pick up. Funny how these calls only ever come through where I live on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Such a shame.9 yearsI received a call from BT earlier, claiming there was an issue with my internet connection. They were quite keen to find out what devices I was utilising, so I mentioned that I only used my iPad. After that, the representative informed me that an engineer would be dispatched within the next couple of days to sort things out. And then, just like that, the call ended!BT9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from BT about some issue with my router. As soon as I started asking them some security questions, they just hung up on me. Sounds like a dodgy attempt to hijack your computer. Best to just ignore and end the call!BT9 yearsthis number has called me like 4 times just within the last hour! every time they claim they're from my internet company. when i ask "who exactly is this?" they just hang up straight away.9 yearsThey've rung me 3 times today already, but whenever I answer, there's just silence on the other end.9 yearsIn the past hour, that number has rung us four times. We’re really fed up with it. The first time I picked up, there was complete silence on the other end. What’s the deal with that? Really don’t understand what they think they’re doing.9 yearsgot a call from a lady claiming she worked for my internet company saying there was an issue with my router. she kept pushing me to get on my computer so she could sort it out. i had some time to kill so decided to mess with her a bit. after a while i told her since she's with the internet provider and can access my router anytime, she should just fix the problem herself and call me once it's sorted. honestly, they shouldn’t be bothering me when i’m free anyway haha.Submit Your Own Report (020 8998 4857)
