Phone number ☎️ 02879417911 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation impersonating BT, often involving calls from individuals with South Asian accents. Callers falsely claim there are issues with your internet or computer, urging remote access to your PC. Recipients frequently experience aggressive or rude behaviour when questioning the legitimacy of the call. Genuine BT representatives never request remote access or pressure for immediate action in this manner. Attempts to verify via callback reveal the number to be untraceable or non-UK origin. Victims are advised to avoid engagement, not to grant any access, and to report suspicious calls promptly. Blocking the number and contacting official BT channels directly for any concerns is recommended. This number is widely recognised as fraudulent and should be treated with caution.
Reports on phone number 02879417911
2 yearsAs soon as they noticed the call was being recorded, they just hung up without leaving any message.9 yearsIt’s clearly a scam! British Telecom would never mention anything about your computer. Just hang up immediately or demand the name of the company they represent along with their full name-both first and surname. Then, for good measure, ask for their supervisor's name and the complete address, postcode included. By that point, you should’ve already hung up! Remember, any details you can gather could be valuable for the police because this is indeed fraud.British Telecom9 yearsLoads of dodgy calls from this number, mostly scammers and timewasters. Honestly, they ought to block it, but I reckon they'd just switch to a different number anyway. Most of the time it sounds like some bloke with an Asian accent ringing me.9 yearsA guy, sounded Asian, said he was from BT and wanted to get into my computer because of some supposed corrupt files. I told him I wasn’t switching on my computer for anything like that, and he just started swearing at me before hanging up. Definitely a proper scammer trying it on.BT9 yearsSome bloke named James rang me, said he was from BT, sounded like he was Indian and talked super fast. He claimed my internet was messed up and wanted to get into my computer. When I didn't catch on straight away, he got proper grouchy and started threatening, saying he'd do something bad unless I cooperated. Definitely dodgy - STAY AWAY, IT’S A SCAM!JamesBest9 yearsJust like others have said, this guy actually rang me back after I ended the call, asking why I had done that. Honestly, BT needs to do something and block that number for good.BT9 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who claimed my BT phone line was messed up and they noticed loads of risky downloads on my computer. He wanted me to let him get into my PC, but I just hung up.9 yearsJust like every other call, they claimed to be from BT and said our router was causing dodgy signals. I ended the call straight away.BT9 yearsGot a call today from a lady with an Asian accent claiming she was from BT, telling me to switch on my computer. When I told her she was lying and trying to scam me, she handed me over to an Asian bloke who started getting pretty rude. I told him I was recording the call and would be reporting it to the cops, and then he just ended the call.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from "BT" telling me there was an issue with my internet and I had to switch on my computer. I told them I don’t own a computer, then they asked how I check my emails. When I said I don’t use email, they started insulting me and then hung up. This is obviously a scam and such a pain. I've had a few calls like this before, but they stopped for a bit. Fingers crossed this doesn't mean they’re back. Couldn't BT do something to shut this number down?BT9 yearsAt around 1pm on the 28th of March 2017, I got a call from a guy with a thick Asian accent, who said his name was James, or maybe Jason. He claimed he was ringing from BT and insisted that my router’s firewall had failed and my computer was picking up malware. He kept pushing even after I told him right away I wasn’t convinced he was really from BT and that I’d have to end the call to verify his number. I reckon he was trying to break into my PC to get into my bank details or something dodgy like that.JamesJasonBT9 yearsGot a call from a young Asian guy at 9.33am on 28/03/2017 claiming to be from BT, talking about issues with my BT internet.

However, when I checked with BT, they had no knowledge of this number at all. Best to simply cut the call short and not engage.BT9 yearsA lady with a strong Asian accent called, claiming she was from BT and wanted to sort out an issue with my broadband. She spoke really fast like she was trying to rush me into switching on my computer. I put her on hold briefly and put the call on speaker so my missus could listen in. When I asked her to say again what she’d said before, all she did was keep telling me to turn on my PC. I am a BT customer, but she never mentioned my name and when I asked for my account number, she just made up some random digits.BT9 yearsThis annoying pest keeps bothering me, I’m gonna report them to the cops. Someone’s gotta do something to stop these idiots.9 yearsI seem to be inundated with calls on a daily basis from someone claiming to be from BT, insisting there's an issue with my computer.

Bit cheeky if you ask me haha.BT9 yearsThis number has been ringing me a few times in the past days, but I didn’t pick up because I usually avoid answering unknown numbers.
