Reports on phone number 02170453328
8 yearsHad a call from some bloke named Alex, said he was from Openreach or something. I let him have a quick chat, then just ended it.AlexOpenreach8 yearsSaid they were from BT Openreach and had a pretty convincing story, but honestly, it was all rubbish. They just wanted to get remote access, watch out!BT8 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent who said he was from BT Openreach’s legal team. He told me his name was David James. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.BT OpenreachDavid James8 yearsThis number has been ringing me quite a few times every day for the past few weeks. The guy on the line, who said his name was Sam and sounded Indian, claimed to be from Openreach and talked about my internet and router. When I told him I wasn’t interested and asked him to stop calling, he bluntly said he’s told to ring my number up to 10 times daily and would keep bugging me. I’ve reported it straight to the ICO.OpenreachSamInformation Commissioner ' sOffice8 yearsI got a ring today from a bloke with an African accent claiming to be from BT. He said they were switching over my router and wanted me to do some checks on my laptop. When I said I’d ring back later because I wasn't sure, he said there was no point as he was on the line now and I wouldn’t get through again. I said I’m sure I could, and I’d double-check with BT first to make sure he was legit. That annoyed him and he suddenly got really rude before hanging up. I called BT afterwards and they told me they hadn’t contacted me at all. Seemed dodgy to me!BT8 yearsFor a few weeks now, I've been getting calls nearly every day from a bloke with an Indian accent. Even after blocking the number, the phone keeps buzzing. Luckily, I have caller ID, so I just ignore it when I see that same number pop up. Once, when I actually answered, I told him I had an Openreach engineer at my place and asked if he wanted to talk to him. That seemed to scare him off, and he ended the call, but sure enough, he was back on the phone again the very next day.India8 yearsGot two calls earlier today, and once I showed I wasn't falling for it, the bloke turned rude and just ended the call.8 yearsSome bloke called to tell me my internet was slow, but I just hung up on him.8 yearsI missed a call on my home number early this morning at about 7:43. They didn’t leave any voicemail or note.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke named John, said he was with Openreach. When I told him his pals Ryan and Logan had already tried the same stunt and I wasn’t having any of it, he just cut me off. Pretty obvious dodgy call.JohnOpenreachRyanLogan8 yearsIn the last week, I’ve had three calls from this number alone. Tried reporting it to the TPS, but honestly, it felt pointless since they don’t seem to take action on these annoying calls. Looks like I’m stuck having to keep telling whoever’s on the other end to do one.8 yearsJust got one of those calls again. The bloke said something about working at my exchange place, but I told him that couldn’t be right since I can see it clear as day from my window. Told him to not even think about doing overtime, lol, then I hung up.8 yearsAt 8:01 this morning, someone rang me saying they were testing my BT broadband speed. The strange thing is, I've never even had a BT internet deal!BT8 yearsGot the same call as loads of others. This woman said she was from Openreach. I just ended the call right away!!!Openreach8 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman today, and on other times it’s been an Indian bloke claiming to be from Openreach. They always say something about the local exchange and that my internet is slow, then go on about my router’s lights blinking. I told them to send me something in writing because I couldn’t follow what they were saying. After that, they quickly ended the call. They sound really believable, and I’m worried my kids might fall for it if they answered. Does anyone know how to block these annoying calls?8 yearsI got a call from this number earlier today. It was a woman with a pronounced Indian accent claiming to be from BT Openreach, supposedly to enhance my broadband speed. She wanted me to connect my computer and mentioned that she’d provide a number to input. I had my suspicions it was a scam, so I declined her request.BT Openreach8 yearsI keep getting calls from someone claiming to be with Openreach about my internet. I've told them quite a few times to stop calling me, but they just won't listen. One time, I actually hung up, and then the same bloke rang me straight back, telling me not to hang up on him. Proper cheeky behaviour, honestly.8 yearsWe keep getting calls at all hours, just like everyone else. I reckon BT should think about bringing their call centres back to the UK. Feels like the people over in India are leaking info or something, cause when they called, they already had our last name!BTUKIndia8 yearsWe keep gettin calls non stop, no matter what time it is. It’s like they never stop. I reckon BT should think about shifting their call centres back here instead of keeping them in India. Those workers must be sharing info or somethin, cuz when they called, they already knew our last name!BTUK8 yearsI ended up chatting with them and they seemed so real, but turns out it was a scam. Watch out, folks!!!!8 yearsI’m so fed up with these annoying calls. I’ve put the number on my blacklist but somehow they still ring me up. It’s driving me nuts!8 yearsGot two calls already today, one around 8.30 then another just now at 10.45. Pretty sure they'll keep coming as the day goes on.8 yearsThese scammers have bothered me quite a lot, and honestly, telling them I’ll go after their families works wonders to shut them up ;) I usually throw in some colourful words about how slimy their ethics are too! Absolute rubbish folks. They even rang me right after I’d finished a night shift, can you believe it?8 yearsGot a call today early on a Saturday morning, around 7:40, from someone saying they were with BT, asking about my internet. Bit odd to get a call that early on the weekend!BT8 yearsIn the last fortnight, I've been bombarded with seven calls from these con artists. They masquerade as BT OpenReach, claiming they're sorting out issues reported on my line. It’s becoming rather tiresome!BT OpenReach8 yearsGot a ring from those fraudsters earlier today, but I just ignored it.8 yearsDodgy calls nonstop from this number and others like it. Occasionally I pick up and hear nothing, other times I just let it go to voicemail. Today I took a chance and answered, a guy with an Indian accent claimed he was calling from Openreach! I just acted confused and said we don't have anything like that around here. He hung up right away! If they carry on calling, I’ll keep messing around with them. I never entertain sales calls, I’m well aware of who supplies my phone and they never call up like this - there’s always proper security checks first.8 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent talking non-stop about BT Openreach and some supposed issues with my internet router. After she was done, I told her I was confused. She just started all over again, this time shouting. When she finished up, I told her I wasn't hard of hearing, but what confused me was why she'd called the police station trying to mess with their computers and that we were tracing the call. She went "oh!" and then just hung up. Proper funny that! Haha!BT8 yearsThese calls keep coming through almost daily. I just tell them to piss off straight away. Honestly, BT needs to sort this out instead of sitting on their hands. It’s borderline harassment, maybe they turn a blind eye since they're making a bit of cash from it. And Ofgem? They’re not much help either, just a total waste of time.BTOfgem8 yearsHad about four calls from this number today, with the last one coming around noon. Told them it's their call, not mine, then just left the phone on and walked away. Just switched my phone off at 6:45pm. Fingers crossed it blocked at least one of their lines. I wouldn’t advise this if you’re expecting important calls, but everyone I know already has my number so it’s not an issue for me.8 yearsI keep getting these annoying calls all the time - seriously risky if you let them fiddle with your router. You probably realise there’s a ton of these numbers floating around, and if you block one, they just ring from another almost identical number. Honestly, BT or Openreach really need to step in and sort this out. What’s even more chilling is that a few of the scammers I chatted with seemed to have deep local knowledge, like knowing exactly where the exchange is and stuff, not just guessing from the number. Definitely stay alert!BTOpenreach8 yearsThese scammers have rung me up four times this week alone! Luckily, I’m using BT’s free 1572 Call Protect, which caught their number on a blacklist each time and stopped the calls from going through.BT8 yearsIt’s happening all over again. I keep getting calls from someone claiming to be with BT Openreach. Is there any way to actually block these calls for good?BT Openreach8 yearsGot two calls back-to-back over the last couple of mornings around 8 to 8:30. The first one was a call from someone claiming to be BT Openreach with the usual line fault talk, and today it was just dead silence on the other end. Seriously, when will the government or phone companies step in to sort this out? I’m lucky I’m not on shift work or in a vulnerable position, but it still feels like a breach of privacy. Honestly, if it wasn't for my elderly parents who only deal with our landline, I’d have just disconnected the house phones by now.BT Openreach8 yearsSome bloke rang up claiming to be with BT Openreach, going on about our internet. I told him to jog on straight away. Honestly, I wish BT would crack down on these dodgy calls. It's all a scam if you ask me.BT8 yearsJust like all the other times, I told them their scam's so obvious they really ought to make it less dodgy. The worrying thing is, eventually, some poor old soul who trusts too much will get stung and lose their life savings. I wish the phone companies here would do more, either block these con artists outright or charge them a hefty fee for making calls. Failing that, the UK government should have a word with their Indian counterparts to shut this down, or maybe divert the aid money to another needy country that's more worthy.UK8 yearsI’m seriously fed up with these dodgy calls. It’s obvious they’re not from BT Openreach, we all know it, and they know it too. But still, they ring me up every single day without fail. It’s so annoying!BT Openreach8 yearsSo I got a call earlier from someone claiming to be BT Open Reach, saying there was an issue with my internet being slow. They asked me about the lights on my router, but I just ended the call straight away. Felt like it was going to be some kind of scam.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming to be with BT Openreach, but he was just a scammer. Definitely dodgy!BT8 yearsThey keep ringing me morning and evening. I’m completely fed up now. Going to report this to the cops.8 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number for more than a week now, often at random hours throughout the day. Just today, when I finally picked up, there was an actual voice on the other end, which was a pleasant surprise compared to the usual silence I've been getting. The person, who spoke with an Indian accent, claimed to be representing Openreach regarding my internet connection.Openreach8 yearsTotal scam alert! Got a call from some bloke in India pretending he was from Openreach. He was going on about how BT were doing some work and he needed me to update stuff on my computer. I wasn’t having any of it and after firing a couple of tricky questions his way, he just dropped the call. Proper dodgy.BT8 years02170453328 keeps ringing me loads. Most of the time there's silence or they just hang up, but every now and then someone says B T. Quite weird really.BT8 yearsGot a call on 13th Feb 2018 around 13.20 from someone claiming to be with BT Openreach. Also noticed some other calls later from 02190453342 saying the same thing. Bit fishy if you ask me.BT Openreach8 yearsGot a call from 02170453328 this morning around 8:30, but all I got was silence on the other end. Just hung up straight away. That was on the 12th of February 2018.8 yearsGot a call around 11:20 this morning from someone trying to switch up the router’s IP address.8 yearsGot a call this morning around 8:30 but no one said anything. Ended up hanging up. That was on 12th Feb 2018.9 yearsGot a dodgy call from some lot claiming they'd be from BT Openreach, but it was total scam. Avoid answering unknown numbers like that!BT9 yearsGot a silent call at 7:29 this morning and it ended up waking my wife. She was sleeping really deeply after a rough night - she’s got terminal cancer, so it was pretty upsetting.9 yearsGot a call from this number today, 26th July, but there was no sound, just silence. Very odd!9 yearsGot a call from a guy named Logan claiming he was with BT Openreach. My husband quickly responded, "No way you're with BT, I work there myself." That was the end of the call!LoganBT OpenreachBT9 yearsGot a call from 0830 silent bulls### once more, honestly this needs to end! It’s just scary for the elderly, they get all worried and anxious. Please make it stop!9 yearsGot a call earlier today from some rude lot, probably one of those dodgy Indian call centres. They were acting like they were from Openreach, same old story as before.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today around 11:20.9 yearsGot a call with no one speaking on the other end. Pretty creepy to say the least.9 yearsThis number rang me early on the 8th of Feb 2018, about 7.20 in the morning. I waited till around 7.50 but no one spoke up, just me saying hello a few times before giving up and hanging up. If they try again, I probably won’t be as nice next time.9 yearsGot a quiet nuisance ring from this number back on the 8th of February, 2018.Submit Your Own Report (021 7045 3328)
