8 yearsThey’re pretending to be British Telecom and claiming they’re running some line tests. Whatever you do, don’t share any personal details with them!British Telecom8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from Openreach. She tried the usual scam by asking to control my computer screen. Really annoying and felt quite risky, might be some proper harassment.8 yearsSo, this number has rung me twice just this past week. It was a woman with a really strong accent claiming to be from BT Openreach, talking about problems with my broadband signal. I told her I’d already contacted my internet supplier, and she just cut the call straight away! Thankfully, a mate had already told me to be careful and not to share any details or let anyone on my PC, so I didn’t fall for it.BT Openreach8 yearsThis number has phoned me twice just last week. It was a woman with a really thick accent claiming to be from BT Openreach about issues with my broadband. I told her I'd already rung my internet company and she cut the call dead straight away! Fortunately, a mate had given me a heads up about scams like this before, so I didn’t share any details or let them near my PC.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent who used English names like George and Emily. They claimed to be an engineer working on the exchange and asked for my help. I told them I could actually see the exchange from my window and there's no van or anything outside. They just hung up on me - not once, but twice in the same day!GeorgeEmily8 yearsI was a bit iffy as soon as I picked up the phone. Once the bloke finally spoke up and mentioned "BT Open" or something similar, I quickly told him we didn’t use BT and that he’d dialled the wrong number, then just ended the call. It felt like a total scam. If someone tells you to type stuff into your PC, just hang up straight away. Legit internet providers never ring to have you fiddling with your router like that. They’ll always suggest calling you back properly.BT8 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they just cut the call.8 yearsGot a call this morning around 10:50 (3rd March 2018) from someone claiming to be BT Openreach. They said there was an issue with my router and asked me to check how many lights were on it. I told them I wasn’t sure where my router was, which seemed to annoy the caller. She questioned why I didn’t know its location, so I flipped it back and asked if she knew where it was herself. That didn’t go down well and she just said she’d ring back on Monday. I told her that wasn’t necessary.BT Openreach8 yearsI saw a missed call at 7.20am on a Saturday morning. Lucky I didn’t pick up, or I’d have given them a piece of my mind!8 yearsSomebody called me, pretending to be from BT Openreach and tried to freak me out by saying my internet would get cut off if I didn’t check the router lights and switch my computer on. Then they wanted me to download some software onto my PC. I knew it was a scam just like others say!BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from some scammers claiming they were with BT Openreach. I told them I wasn’t daft, that I’m tracing their number and would report them to the fraud squad at Scotland Yard. They promptly just hung up on me! Typical scam artists from India.BT OpenreachScotland Yard8 yearsAnnoying call, so fed up with these!8 yearsGot a call from someone with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from BT Openreach. He said they’d been working nearby and warned my internet could cut out suddenly if I didn’t update some code. Then he asked if I’d noticed the internet dropping. Next thing, he wanted me to count the lights on my router. Seemed like he was reading from a script, so I said I couldn’t see the router from where I was. He told me to check it and said he’d wait on the line. I just ended the call instead.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a couple of calls today from someone claiming to be BT Openreach, said there was an issue with my router following some maintenance on the lines. Didn’t believe it and ended the call straight away both times. I’m in West Cumbria by the way.BT OpenreachWest Cumbria8 yearsThis number called me but as soon as I picked up, they just ended the call straight away!8 yearsAbsolute frauds!! They have no connection to BT at all, just pretending. Total scam.BT8 yearsGot a call earlier from 02170421670 claiming to be from BT broadband. I asked them for their BT UIN, you know, to check if they were legit. Funny enough, I actually work at BT myself. Told BT security about it right after - no doubt, total scam.BT8 yearsGot a call early morning from an Indian woman saying I needed to change my router’s channel. This number had rang me a couple of days before too, and back then they made me turn on my laptop. Luckily, my hubby stepped in and stopped me just in time so nothing went wrong.8 yearsGot a call from some Indian call centre, they kept going on about my broadband and wanted me to listen carefully. I just told them straight up they were scammers.8 yearsManaged to track the number to somewhere around Somerset West or Gordon's Bay, Cape Town area, but didn't get a full address. Since it's linked to South Africa, I'm pretty sure it's a scam.Cape TownSomerset WestGordon ' s BaySouth Africa8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT about some broadband work done nearby. They wanted me to change the port number on my router, which sounded a bit dodgy. Ended the call straight away. Planning to let BT know about this.BT8 yearsI picked up the phone and said hello, but all I could hear was a lot of background noise, sounded like someone from a call centre. Then they just dropped the call on me. Weird!8 yearsthis just happened to me too!Submit Your Own Report (021 7042 1670)
