Phone number ☎️ 02748820502 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from callers posing as BT representatives claiming internet security issues. Callers often have foreign accents, frequently Asian, and employ high-pressure tactics requesting sensitive information or access to devices. Many users identify this as phishing or fraud, with calls sometimes turning abusive when challenged. Recipients are advised not to engage, to hang up immediately, and to verify suspicious claims directly with their actual internet provider.

Blocking the number and reporting to authorities or the genuine provider is recommended to protect personal data and prevent falling victim to deceptive practices.

9 yearsTried calling that number but it just wouldn’t connect, kept saying it wasn’t recognised.9 yearsThis morning at about 9.46am on 02/02/2018, I got a call from a guy named Sean who had a strong Asian accent. He said he was from BT and that there was some issue with our broadband. We've had similar calls previously, but the number was always different. I just ended the call straight away. Honestly, I think these calls are pretty suspicious and potentially risky.SeanBT9 yearsGetting calls from these muppets is annoying enough, but 7:15 in the bloody morning?! I’m a vicar, so early calls always make me anxious, especially since it was meant to be my day off today. So frustrating!9 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times today, and I ran a quick check on it. Thankfully, my BT call blocker on my phone caught it - definitely seems like a scam to me. Especially with my slow satellite internet, don’t need these annoyances!9 yearsLike others have mentioned before, it's a scam pretending to be BT warning about some problem with internet security. They asked if we'd recently changed any settings or shared info, then said some stranger’s connected to our network. If we didn’t fix it, they claimed they'd get into our main server (as if BT’s security was really that rubbish??) and might even disconnect our internet. I just told them cheers for the heads up, said I'd check it out, then ended the call.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from BT, asking to get access to our computer. When I told them it sounded like a scam, the bloke got really rude and started calling us names. He hung up, but then called straight back. I said I’d report them to the police, and he hung up again, only to ring back and carry on shouting abuse. In the end, I just left the phone on the table while he kept ranting, then went about my business.BT9 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from BT Openreach. I asked him why an engineer didn't bother showing up for three separate slots meant to fix my son's internet. That seemed to throw him off, and then he tried saying he was based at 81 Newgate. I've been to the BT offices there for meetings and told him that’s just the admin side, no tech teams. Next thing I know, he hangs up. Well, that was that, no fun after that.BT OpenreachNewgateBT Centre9 yearsFor the last few days this number has kept ringing us, but we've not picked up since it shows as an international call. With all the dodgy scam calls going around lately, it’s good to be aware this one is just another spammer trying their luck.9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from BT, saying there's a problem with my website certificates and they needed info to sort it out. Sounds dodgy to me! I’m not falling for that nonsense!BT9 yearsI received a phone call purporting to be from the technical department of BT, claiming there was a security problem with my internet connection. The woman on the line had a foreign accent, which made me quite suspicious.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone called Hazel claiming to be from BT saying there was an issue with my internet. Not convinced at all. She sounded Asian and I just ended the call straight away.HazelBT9 yearsI just had a chat with this friendly bloke Adam from BT Broadband. Even tho I had his number saved on my phone, I still asked for it again. He quickly gave me an 0800 number to ring back on. Said I could call whenever I wanted and then just hung up. Looks like another time wasting call to me!AdamBT Broadband9 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming she was calling from BT about some viruses on my internet. I didn't buy it for a second. After a bit of telling her I wasn’t convinced, she just hung up on me. Definitely a scam, not BT at all.BT9 yearsBeware of Paul from Openreach, total scam!9 yearsGot a call from this number, all I heard was a weird screechy noise then it went silent. Happened to me three times already today. No clue who it is.9 yearsA woman I’m acquainted with received a rather peculiar call from this number earlier today. The caller wanted to discuss her internet connection and router. Upon her revealing that she neither possessed a router nor had any internet service, the chap on the other end unexpectedly retorted with a rather rude "go to hell." Quite the politeness, I must say!9 yearsI received a rather dubious call from this number, with someone purporting to be from BT. They claimed they wanted to chat about my internet security. After providing that information, the caller surprisingly asked how I was doing. I couldn’t resist replying that I was engaged in conversation with a fraudster, to which he responded with some rather colourful language before abruptly ending the call.BT9 yearsThis is totally a scam, just like others have said. I got a call from a man with an Asian accent telling me my internet wasn’t safe. He wanted me to link up to a device and read out the IP address. I rang BT afterwards and they told me straight up it’s a fraud. Stay careful and never share your personal details!BT9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from BT saying there's a problem with my internet security, that some IP address was causing an issue. The caller, who gave his name as Kevin and had an Asian accent, didn’t sound legit at all. I ended the call pretty quickly. Feels like one of those dodgy scams to me.BTKevin9 yearsHad this guy, Roger, sounded Asian, ringing about some BT internet deal. Told him straight up he was a scammer, but he didn’t stop calling. I finally just put him on hold with some tunes playing and didn’t bother picking up again. Honestly, it’d be great if they just gave it a rest and left us all alone.RogerBT9 yearsJust like a few others here, some guy called me saying my internet was hacked and my data was at risk. He went on about BT servers controlling everything, even though we don’t use BT at all. I asked him to send something by mail or give me a proper contact number instead. When I called him out on it being a scam, he got defensive and accused me of being rude! Don’t waste your time, just hang up - it’s definitely a scam!BT9 yearsLately, I've been getting loads of calls every week about my internet, and they're always from Asian numbers. It's gotten so annoying that I just hang up as soon as they start talking.9 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from BT broadband, sounded really pushy and even threatened it’d set me back £1000 to remove me from their call list. I said no, but he reckoned he’d ring again later. Proper annoying!BT9 yearsI kept listening but there was no one speaking when I answered.9 yearsGot a call from a lady calling herself Mia, said she was from BT and that my broadband had some security issues. I told her I don’t use BT (although they're pretty much the top for internet). She said she'd connect me to a senior tech to sort it out. I tried to explain I was busy and had to get back to work, but she kept trying to put me through. When I repeated I was short on time, they just hung up. Later, I rang BT myself and they confirmed it was a scam. Watch out for stuff like this!MiaBT9 yearsMelvin must’ve been up to no good all day, attempting to scam folks left and right. He gave it a go with me too, but I quickly shut him down before he could finish what he was saying, haha.Melvin9 yearsGot a call from BT internet, some guy called Kevin, sounded Asian. He was asking for my personal info, but it was so obviously a scam! Avoid him!BTKevin9 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming he was with BT, saying there was some issue with my broadband security. He kept pestering me to give my name, but I told him he should already have that info. Really felt suspicious and dodgy to me.BT9 yearsEven though my call blocker didn’t catch it, I looked up the number myself and realised it was definitely a scam.9 yearsHad a call from a bloke named Melvin with a funny accent claiming he was from BT's tech team about my internet. I hung up straight away and then rang 1572 to block the number on my BT blacklist.MelvinBT Technical DepartmentBT9 yearsI got a call claiming to be from BT, but I just hung up. They tried ringing me back later, but I ignored it the second time.9 yearsGot a call yesterday but missed it, then they tried again today claiming to be from BT and warning about the internet. My elderly in-laws were on the line and asked them to ring back. They kept calling back like 5 times in a row but my in-laws just ignored. When Paul rang last time, we told him we were onto their scam and bet he got stuck not knowing what to say. Had to block the number after that!BTPaul9 yearsAt about 9.15 this morning, I got a call from a man named "Paul" with an obvious foreign accent. He said he was ringing from BT and claimed there were issues with my computer. I responded that I’m not a BT customer and that I’d get in touch with my actual provider myself, then ended the call. Afterwards, I rang my service provider who confirmed it was a scam and warned me never to share personal info with strangers, nor reveal which company I use, as these scammers might pretend to be from that provider and call again.PaulBT9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT tech support about my internet. I asked him if he ever gets a good night's sleep. He said the call wasn’t about his sleeping habits. I said I’d be shocked if he did, since it was clearly a dodgy scam. He kept trying to convince me, then suddenly said my internet will be disconnected in 45 minutes and hung up.BT9 yearsDo not trust this call! They try to get your ID or IP by saying your internet is unsecured and you might get hacked. Just hang up straight away! It’s definitely a scam.9 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from BT tech support, telling me my internet connection had some security issues. As soon as I caught on that it sounded dodgy, I just ended the call straight away.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from BT, definitely a scam, watch out!BT9 yearsGot two calls back to back within about 5 mins. First one was a bloke telling me my computer had some issue, but I told him I don’t even own one so I just ended the call. Then shortly after, a woman rang saying she was from BT. When I said BT isn’t my internet provider, she kept pushing that BT regulates every provider in the UK. I wasn’t having it and cut the call.BTUK9 yearsSomeone called up saying they were from the 'technical team at BT', sounded like an Asian lady. Pretty sure BT doesn't have a dept like that though, so it was definitely a scam.BT9 yearsI got a call from a bloke with a foreign accent claiming to be from BT's tech support, saying there was an issue with my BT internet. Since I don’t actually use BT, I told him he must be a scammer, then he just ended the call.BT9 yearsDon’t fall for this! They try to scare you by saying your internet is wide open and you’re about to get hacked. Really, they’re after your ID or IP info. Just hang up straight away!9 yearsGot a call from some BT scammer spouting rubbish about internet security. Honestly, if you've got decent antivirus software, you don’t need to worry about that nonsense at all.BT9 yearsI picked up and instantly ended the call cause the number never showed up on my phone - said “unknown”. Feels dodgy, so watch out!9 yearsSome bloke rings up saying he's from BT internet security, tries to give me an ID to check or something. I played along for a bit, then just told him to get lost. Total scammer, don't trust it!BT9 yearssomebody with a strong foreign accent rang up pretending to be from bt internet. i don’t even have bt but i played along for a bit. he claimed my internet was slow and vulnerable to hackers. when i asked why he couldn’t just fix it from his side, he said he needed more details and some sort of id number. i told him straight up it sounded like a scam. he got all defensive and then i told him (1) i don’t use bt at all and (2) i don’t even have internet. after that, he just hung up. pretty clear scam to me. i’ve blocked the number now.BTSubmit Your Own Report (027 4882 0502)
