02162704852 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02162704852 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam, with callers impersonating phone or internet providers - primarily BT - claiming accounts or internet services are at risk or being suspended. The callers often use aggressive or suspicious tactics, including asking for personal information or requesting users to input codes on their computers, potentially to facilitate fraud. Many report the calls coming from individuals with Asian accents, who sometimes become abusive when challenged. Victims are advised not to engage, as these are established scams aiming to deceive and potentially steal money or data. Call blockers and refusal to answer unknown or international numbers are effective deterrents. Telecommunications companies are criticised for insufficient measures to prevent or intercept such nuisance calls. Caution is strongly recommended, particularly for vulnerable individuals.
Reports on phone number 02162704852
9 yearsHad a few calls in just a couple of hours from someone saying they were with my phone company. Kept asking to talk to the person in charge. Honestly, it was pretty annoying and I'd say just block the number.9 yearsSomeone’s been ringing me like 6 times today, who even is it?Blimey9 yearsThis has got to be one massive rip-off, honestly.9 yearsI've got one of those t#### call blockers and it really does a good job on this kind of call. When someone rings, it tells them the call is being recorded and asks for their name. Most of the time that’s enough to make them hang up or the system just drops the call after a few seconds. I usually get around twelve calls like this each week from different numbers, so it’s a relief that this blocker handles nearly all of them for me.9 yearsWhen I saw this number was from overseas, I just let it ring out since none of my mates call from abroad directly - they use Skype or email instead. These callers are relentless, probably because they make money from pestering people. It’s frustrating that BT doesn’t seem to do anything about spam calls. I end up blocking the same numbers multiple times a week, yet they somehow always find a way to get through.SkypeBT9 yearsGot calls where nobody answers and then some robotic voice just says bye. Really weird.9 yearsOn 30th March 2017, I received a call telling me my internet service was about to be disconnected. I had switched from Virgin to BT, but now these annoying calls keep coming back. You’d think big companies like these could filter out such calls and stop their customers getting bothered or even tricked. It’s really frustrating.VirginBT9 yearsReceived a dodgy call from some so-called telephone firm claiming they were about to disconnect my internet service. What a pile of nonsense!9 yearsGot a call from some guy telling me to reset my BT internet, which I thought was odd since I actually have Sky internet. When I questioned him, the bloke, who sounded Asian, started cussing at me and just cut the call. Pretty clear it was a scam.Sky9 yearsGot a call from some guy trying to get me to reset my BT internet, even though I’m actually with Sky. When I told him that, the bloke got all rude and dropped the phone on me. Pretty clear it was a scam.Sky9 yearsGot a call from some scammer from Asia, and honestly, being polite with them is pointless. It’s awful that these sorts of calls are still allowed. Even though we’re registered with the TPS, it makes no difference at all. I worry how easily older folks could fall for their tricks.9 yearsThey ring me and then just hang up on the other end.9 yearsOn 29/03/17 at around 3:30pm, I got a call from an Asian guy saying he had a voucher for my Amazon account. He wanted to send me a physical copy by post if I gave him my address. I let him talk for a bit then said I normally only do things through email. He quickly tried to say "no, wait, I get why you’re wary but..." but I cut him off and ended the call. Definitely felt dodgy.Amazon9 yearsGot a voicemail from a woman saying, “Hi, it’s me,” followed by some strange sounds. When I rang the number back, the network said it couldn’t find the number. Very odd!9 yearsGot a cold call where the caller just said "goodbye" and then hung up instantly. Proper weird.9 yearsThey just said they'll disconnect my phone starting tomorrow for like 20 days or something.BT9 yearsUsually I just ignore calls at this hour since most are dodgy or spam, but I decided to check the number here anyway.9 yearsI chose not to answer since I usually get loads of dodgy calls around this time, likely scams or spam.9 yearsI keep gettin calls from this Asian guy sayin it's about my internet.. they never seem to get the hint even tho I always try to drag the call out as long as possible. Today I played along like I was doin everything he told me to. After about 15 minutes, he asked what the drop box said, and I just told him to piss off and stop botherin me, lol. He wasn’t happy at all and called me a b#tch, so I told him to take that up with someone who cares. Honestly, it’s funny but this scam’s proper nasty, especially if elderly folks think it’s legit.9 yearsSomeone rang saying our wifi was compromised and we had to turn off our internet straight away. They said they were from BT but as soon as I told them we don’t use BT, they just hung up. Honestly, just don’t pick up for these calls!BT9 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent who spoke really bad English, saying she was from "my internet company." I just ended the call straight away.9 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Asian accent, telling me my Talk Talk internet was gonna be cut off in 15 days. I just told him cheers and ended the call. I'm not even a Talk Talk customer, so it was pretty obvious it was a dodgy scam.9 yearsgot a call from this number earlier today. when i picked up, there was a weird pause and then a man’s voice (maybe asian?) just said hello. felt dodgy so i hung up straight away. looked it up here and decided to block it. total nonsense!9 yearsThey just gave one quick ring and hung up.9 yearsSome bloke keeps ringing me up saying he's from BT, telling me my computer or server's gotten hacked or summat. He tries to make me do stuff on my computer to "fix" it. I've heard this scam loads of times already. Annoyingly, he calls me multiple times a week, trying to pull the same trick. Total con job, don’t fall for it.BT9 yearsOn the 22nd March 2017, I got a call sayin my internet would be down for 20 days. I didn’t hold back and let the bloke have it with some pretty harsh words before he ended the call. What a muppet!9 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent saying he was from BT's tech support. Said my computer was hacked or something like that. I told him he’s got the wrong person since I don’t even own a computer, then he just ended the call. Number’s now blocked.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT, but I haven’t had a BT line for ages! I told them to prove they had my account details direct from BT, and they just hung up on me. A mate of mine fell for the same trick just last week - he’s with BT and they nearly swiped £14,000 from his bank! Thankfully, NatWest got suspicious and stopped it in time. I don’t know how these scammers can live with themselves!BTNatWestSubmit Your Own Report (021 6270 4852)
