02382578444 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02382578444 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam number often impersonating legitimate service providers, particularly claiming to be a BT technician warning of virus infections. Callers attempt to gain remote access or sell unnecessary subscriptions, even to those with existing contracts. Many recipients note foreign accents and immediate hang-ups after answering, suggesting data harvesting or phishing attempts. Calls frequently divert to voicemail or overseas lines when returned. Users strongly advise against answering or returning calls, recommending blocking the number and reporting to official fraud authorities such as Action Fraud. The prevalence and spoofing of numbers make blocking ineffective, urging affected individuals to engage MPs to push for stronger regulation and technological solutions to curb this widespread issue.

I received a call from someone claiming to be a technician from BT. He mentioned something about my router and proceeded to inform me that my computer was supposedly riddled with viruses. He urged me to permit him remote access to my device, insisting that my internet issues were due to these so-called infections. The funny thing is, I don’t even use BT as my internet service provider - I'm with a completely different company!

Got a call today from someone pretending to offer broadband but it was obviously a scam. Be careful, they try to lure you in with fake deals.

My advice? Just block this number and don't pick up. It’s definitely not a genuine call!

I just missed answering the phone, it switched to voicemail too quick but there wasn’t any message left! So strange!

beware of scams! whenever you get suspicious calls or messages, you should report them straight to the police fraud system. just search for ‘action fraud’ and head to the ‘police.uk’ website. there you’ll find a section for reporting phishing scams - give it a proper read first. then fill out the info about the scam, like any website links or addresses involved. you don’t need to sign up or share personal info to do this. the cops rely on these reports to get a clear picture of how widespread these scams really are.

The number above called me earlier, and when I tried calling back, it quickly switched to a different dial tone, probably from another country. I’d advise against calling it back.

Got a missed call from 02382578444, looked it up just to be sure if it’s a scam or not. Anyone else had calls from this number?

Had some bloke with a thick foreign accent ring me up asking for me by name, claiming he was a councillor or something. Complete nonsense if you ask me. Honestly, they ought to find these muppets and put a stop to it.

I got a call from a number that said Southampton on my screen. As soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just hung up straight away. I didn’t bother ringing them back.

I rang the number back and it just took me to some recorded message asking loads of questions. Definitely feels like a scam to me.

Someone called me trying to push a subscription deal. When I mentioned I was already tied to another provider, they said that wasn’t a problem and I could have this new package alongside my existing one. Basically, they were offering me the exact same deal I already have, just claiming it was cheaper. Still, they wanted me to sign up while my other contract was active. They kept insisting it was a one-off offer, clearly just hounding me to buy it.

Inquired whether it was a business contact, but they promptly disconnected the call... I reckon they’re just gathering information to peddle later on.

Picked up the call, only for them to drop the line. It's a Southampton number, trying to reach someone in London, it appears.
