8 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Open Reach, stating that my internet connection was sluggish. They persuaded me to share my bank details, promising a compensation payment of £320 to be credited to my account. Since then, I've been bothered by three further calls over the past month.Open Reach9 yearsThe phone barely rang before it stopped, so I couldn’t answer in time. I checked with 1471 to see who it was, but when I called back, it just said, "Number not recognised". These sneaky scammers seem to be doing this more and more. I’ve asked BT about it, but they haven't a clue how it’s done! So strange!BT9 yearsI've been getting calls all day, every day for weeks now. Today's the 11th time they've rung and honestly, I'm so over it.9 yearsGot a call from some bloke who said his name was Alan, sounded Asian. He kept going on about how my broadband was out of date and that I had to update it or something. I just let him carry on for a bit, then lost patience and told him bye. Seriously, don’t let these muppets near your details. Total scam, stay clear.Alan9 yearsI got a call from some guy with an Asian accent and honestly, I could barely catch what he was saying. He claimed he was from BT Openreach and that there were issues with my internet router. After listening to him go on for a bit, I told him I wasn’t interested and he just ended the call. Later, I looked up the number online and it's definitely a scam. Just be careful if you get calls like this!BT Openreach9 yearsCould someone have a look into this number? I received a call from it at approximately 7:45 this morning.9 yearsLoads of numbers like this one try and call me but they never actually ring through. I guess it’s because I’ve got a BT call blocking phone which I grabbed from Amazon for a bargain price. Honestly, it’s been brilliant - no annoying spam calls, no buzzing, no hassle at all. If you’re fed up with constant interruptions from random callers, I’d seriously say give one of these a go. Just to be clear, I’m not getting paid to say this or anything!Amazon9 yearsGot a call from 02190453342 around 7:45 this morning but no one spoke, just an automated "Goodbye". They've called me twice before in the past few days, same silent line. Last time I dealt with a similar number, it was supposedly BT Openreach saying there was a fault at the local exchange and they needed to set up my router. Watch out, could be dodgy.BT Openreach9 yearsEvery day, we get calls from these people, mostly we don’t pick up, and if we do, the line just clicks and then drops. We’re definitely not interested in talking to them, but watch out, they’re really sneaky with their scams.9 yearsEvery single day they call me, despite me telling them I’ve reported the number. It’s almost always a bloke with a thick Indian accent who goes by the names Brian or John!BrianJohn9 yearsOver the last week, I’ve received three dodgy calls from these lot. Luckily, I’ve added their number to my BT 1572 blocklist now.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone called Erica, sounded Asian and said she was from BT Openreach. She told me there was some issue with channel 568 because engineers had been on site nearby. I wasn’t convinced it was legit, but she kept insisting it was and even said she could connect me to a supervisor. Then, out of nowhere, the phone just went dead. Bit fishy if you ask me.EricaBT Openreach9 yearsIm so over all these scam calls that just waste my time. They were doing the same thing last year and now theyve started again! Told them if they keep it up id have the police trace their number. Its sad cos older folk might actually believe them. Seriously, everyone should report these calls whenever u get them.9 yearsBeware of scammers pretending to be from BT Openreach. It's a total con!BT9 yearsTotal scammers, watch out!9 yearsHad a right laugh with this muppet of a scammer earlier! He tried to sell me some story about calling from BT Openreach. I played along for a bit, keeping him chatting, then told him I didn’t even own a router. Suddenly he got all narky and started moaning about me wasting his time! I told him I didn’t ask for a phone call that early in the mornin’, and made it clear who was really being mugged off. Proper cheeky bloke!BT Openreach9 yearsWatch out, these are total scammers! Never deal with them, they’re not to be trusted!9 yearsSo, this bloke said he was from BT Broadband, right? I was having some trouble with my internet, so I let him do some sort of line test and even gave him control of my PC. Turns out it was a scam, I got hacked and lost loads of stuff. Seriously, don’t pick up if you get a call like that!BT9 yearsJust like what others mentioned, I got a call from someone with an Asian accent asking about our internet service. I told them everything was fine with our broadband and we were happy with it. They quickly ended the call, but tried ringing back a few hours later. I didn’t bother picking up the second time.9 yearsThey've been ringing me loads over the past couple of days, even at 7.30 in the morning! We usually let the answerphone handle unknown calls, so they never bother leaving a message. Still, it’s pretty annoying, especially that early call today. Cheers for this site though, it’s great for quickly spotting these scams.9 yearsGot a missed call from 02190453342 but no voicemail or anything. Reading through the other posts, seems like these folks want to get into your computer remotely. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.9 yearsReceived a call for the second time this morning at 9:08, but I didn’t pick up. If they attempt to reach me again, I’ll definitely respond and let them know where to go!9 yearsCalled me for the second time this morning at 9:08. I didn't pick up, but if they try again, I'm ready to unleash a right earful!9 yearsThey've rung me a few times already, so I went ahead and blocked the number now.9 yearsGot a call at 7:28 this morning. I usually don’t pick up the phone, and I reckon if someone genuinely needed to reach me, they'd drop a voicemail. Seems like this could just be another dodgy scam!9 yearsGot a call from someone saying he was Daniel from BT Openreach about my internet. When I questioned him, he told me to "f off" and just hung up on me. This happened on 15th Jan 2018 at 08:18.DanielBT Openreach9 yearsReceived a call from this number bright and early at half past seven this morning. It's not the first time either; they’ve been at it on several occasions lately. Clearly a dodgy operation if you ask me, and I reckon BT should really step up and tackle this issue.BT9 yearsReceived a call this morning at 7:20. A woman on the line said she was from BT Openreach, discussing broadband issues. Definitely a scam!BT Openreach9 yearsjust got a call from this number about 10 minutes back, and they wanted me to enter some codes online. felt a bit iffy about it, so we ended the call and looked them up on google. turns out, total scam!9 yearsThis number, 0219045334, rang me at about half past seven in the morning pretending to be from BT Openreach. I quickly told them I’m not a BT customer and asked them to take me off their list and not call back. I also mentioned it was far too early to be ringing. They just hung up. Then they called back like 20 minutes later, laughing over the phone before hanging up again. Pretty rude!BT OpenreachBT9 yearsThis number was incessantly calling me, but I’ve finally managed to block it.9 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from BT Openreach, and let me tell you, it was a right dodgy affair! The chap on the other end had a noticeable Indian accent and was trying to persuade me to allow him access to my computer. Total scam, if you ask me!BT Openreach9 yearsThis morning I got a call from a lady with an Indian accent. She told me to open regedit and look at the performance of my router. But the chart that popped up was just showing CPU usage, nothing related to my internet. Then she started giving me a bunch of numbers to enter, so I just ended the call right there.India9 yearsReceived a call at half past seven this morning from someone claiming to be associated with BT Openreach. He mentioned that there had been a modification to the DLM on my exchange. When I quizzed him on what DLM meant, he completely misinterpreted it, which I found quite amusing! Just so you know, I work in telecoms myself.BT Openreach9 yearsGot two calls earlier from someone claiming to be from an Indian call centre. The person said they were with Openreach and told me the copper wiring from my house to the exchange was being improved, causing my broadband to work at just 30% capacity. They said I needed to adjust my router settings. While still chatting, I ran a speed test and it was exactly what I normally get. When I told him everything seemed fine, he just hung up straight away.Openreach9 yearsI got calls from 02190453342 like 5 times between 7:50 in the morning and about 12:20 noon. Didn’t bother to leave a voicemail, so I just ignored it and didn’t return the call. Later, I looked up the number online and found some troubling stuff about who might be behind it. It’s clear these aren’t just annoying random calls - they seem to be trying to trick people like me.9 yearsThis is definitely a scam. I received a call from an Indian call centre, claiming to be from BT, informing me that there were engineers currently sorting out issues at my local exchange regarding broadband. The endgame here is quite clear-they're fishing for access to your computer in order to pilfer your banking information by masquerading as though they're issuing you a refund. Best to hang up and stay vigilant!BT9 yearsI had three men with Indian accents - they said their names were Ben, Sam and John - ring me all within a few hours. Plus, a woman who sounded Indian too, called Erica, got in touch pretending to be from BT Openreach. Even when I told them to stop bothering me, they just kept ringing back.BenSamJohnEricaBT Openreach9 yearsMy mum answered two calls today but both times whoever was calling just hung up straight away. These calls were to my elderly folks.9 yearsIt all seemed quite believable at first, so I kept going while making sure I had control over my computer. But the moment it seemed like he was trying to get access, I shut it down straight away. After that, he called about six more times, but I didn’t pick up.9 yearsReceived a call at eight this morning, followed by another at nine, but they didn’t bother leaving a message on my answering machine. Oddly enough, when I tried to call back, the number wasn't acknowledged.9 yearsIt rings but never leaves a message when it hits the voicemail. Definitely needs to be blocked!9 yearsI've heard about this so-called "Openreach scam" where the crooks pretend to be from Openreach and somehow know details about your phone exchange. They tell you they're updating or replacing some server that won’t work with your computer, then push you to update your computer settings so they can sneak in. Our provider mentioned they’re getting loads of reports about this, and since the scammers keep switching up their phone numbers, they have no choice but to block every new one that comes through.Openreach9 yearsJust to echo what’s been said, that was definitely a dodgy call!9 yearsWhat a bother this number is! They keep ringing me at half past seven in the morning, and it's just too early for that sort of thing!9 yearsGot a call from 02190453342, some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT Openreach. Seemed a bit fishy to me, so I just ended the call straight away.BT Openreach9 yearsA gentleman with an Indian accent rang me up, claiming to be from BT Openreach, inquiring about the lights illuminated on my router regarding my copper line connection. He mentioned something about providing me with a code to adjust my settings. I wasn't convinced by his story and decided to end the call. Just a heads-up, this seems rather dodgy-stay alert!BT OpenreachSubmit Your Own Report (021 9045 3342)
