Phone number ☎️ 0800679079 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers pretending to be from BT Exchange or Openreach. They claim engineers are conducting local exchange work and seek information about the number and age of telephone handsets, often pressuring for managing directors’ names. Genuine BT personnel would not request such details from customers, especially without proper verification. The provided contact numbers given by callers appear legitimate but are linked to fraudulent operators. Recipients are advised not to share information, to end suspicious calls promptly, and to verify any unexpected contact directly through official BT channels. This scam has caused considerable frustration, with repeated calls and aggressive tactics reported. Users should remain vigilant and report these incidents to their telecommunications provider.
Reports on phone number 0800679079
9 yearsThis is Chloe from BT Exchange! Last week, she gave me a call to inform me about the presence of engineers in the vicinity and asked about the number of handsets we have. She let me know that we were being taken care of by an external communications company and ended the conversation abruptly. This week, she called again with identical questions. I requested her phone number so I could verify the authenticity of the call by calling her back, but she hung up instead.ChloeBT Exchange9 yearsI recently received a call from the BT Exchange. I decided to outsmart them by providing a false name and incorrect number of extensions. I also mentioned that I plan on upgrading my phone system soon, just to get them all worked up. Now they can give it their best shot and try to convince me otherwise.BT Exchange9 yearsThe latest news can be found at kfaktiv.ru.9 yearsI have no clue about the identity of these individuals, but it is obvious that they have absolutely no association with either BT or Openreach. It appears to be a fraudulent scheme!BTOpenreach9 yearsEarlier today, we received a phone call from individuals claiming to be from the "BT Exchange", supposedly representing BT Openreach. They informed us that BT engineers were carrying out maintenance work on our telephone line and enquired about the number of phones we had. When we asked them why they didn't already have this information, they revealed that "data protection" policy prevented BT from sharing such details. This explanation struck us as peculiar considering they claimed to be working for BT. Furthermore, their claim was clearly bogus, as our phone calls are routed through the cloud and thus originate from a different number than the one referred to by the callers. It was evident that their true motive was to gather information about the age and quantity of our phones, most likely in order to promote and sell a new telephone system.BT ExchangeBT OpenreachBT9 yearsToday, Chloe gave me a phone call and she asked the same questions as before.Chloe9 yearsReceived a phone call today from someone who claimed to be conducting work at the nearby exchange. They inquired about the number of telephones we possessed, specifically if they were over three years old, and requested the name of our managing director. Sensing something sketchy, I ended the call abruptly. Surprisingly, they immediately dialed back. To establish their legitimacy, I asked for their affiliation with BT, to which they responded affirmatively, albeit in a hushed tone when mentioning the word "Exchange". Seeking further evidence, I requested a callback number, and they provided one. However, upon conducting a quick Google search, I found an entry suggesting it could be a scam. Although the call terminated before any suspicious activity occurred beyond the inquiry about our director's name, I remain unsure about the nature of the scam.BTGoogle10 yearsKarl Williams recently phoned me, inquiring about the number of lines I had provided. He further provided me with the number 0800 679079, with an extension of 121.Karl Williams10 yearsReceived a phone call from someone named "Karl" who claimed to be from BT Exchange. He informed us that there was an engineer operating in our local exchange and requested information about the number of handsets we possessed. This was apparently needed to evaluate the potential impact of the work on our connectivity. Politely declined to share the details and requested a contact number for a callback. Karl provided 0800 679 079 as the contact number. Upon conducting a Google search of this telephone number, multiple websites resembling BT were found. These websites even featured domain names that created a deceptive resemblance to official BT websites, although they were in no way affiliated with BT.KarlBT ExchangePolitelyGoogleBT10 yearsThere have been reports of individuals posing as representatives from BT, who seemed defensive when I refused to disclose the number of handsets we owned. However, it is important to note that this information is not necessary for them to know.BT10 yearsI received a phone call from BT today. The person on the other end, who introduced themselves as Kelly, informed me that there would be some work taking place at the exchange. They also asked how many handsets we currently have. To be honest, I was skeptical about whether she was truly from BT, so I questioned her reliability twice. When she asked for her contact number, she provided 0800 679079, which seems to be a number that BT uses. However, I still have my doubts about whether she is actually part of the company. As a result, I decided to inform my boss about the situation.BTKelly10 yearsBased on my observation, the lady seems to be referring to a scripted conversation as she asked me the same questions mentioned before. I kindly request that no one share any personal information. It is important to note that the company discussed is BT 'Openreach', not an exchange. We are living in modern times and they should not be asking outdated questions like that. If you are a customer of theirs, they should already have the necessary information, and if you are not, they should be reaching out to your service provider instead. In such cases, I recommend hanging up and reporting the call to your provider for further investigation.10 yearsShe is persistently making calls, and it is undoubtedly a scam.10 yearsI received a phone call from the BT Exchange earlier. The engineers will need to contact me and find out the number of extensions I have, as well as whether they are over 3 years old. When I ended the call, the person called me back three times until I finally picked up and left the phone off the hook. I could hear her for more than 5 minutes repeatedly trying to get my attention, insisting that it is crucial for me to provide her with the information she needs.BT Exchange10 yearsChloe continues to make calls! We would like to express our gratitude to all the individuals who take the time to leave comments on these platforms!Chloe10 yearsI had a frustrating encounter with a woman named Chloe who seemed rather defensive and claimed there was a problem with our BT telephone lines. However, I was certain that this was untrue and decided to double-check the situation by confirming the number of extensions in our office. After persistently asking Chloe, she finally provided me with the number as she insisted on speaking to someone who "could handle the call." When I called the number back, I discovered it was indeed BT, but Chloe herself was not affiliated with them. I'm grateful that I took the time to verify the situation here, as it appears to be a shady marketing tactic.ChloeBT10 yearsI have received two calls from these individuals, yet they denied it when I informed them that I had spoken to them before. Today, a young woman named Cholé called and I told her I would call back. However, before doing so, I decided to do a quick Google search and came across this website, which confirmed my suspicions that it is indeed a scam.CholéGoogle11 yearsI had encountered the exact same situation with scammers!11 yearsIt's the same old tale - someone claiming to be from 'BT OpenReach,' but everything seemed incredibly fishy. Therefore, I declined to provide the requested information. I was somewhat surprised when the woman gave me the number 0800 679079. Suspicions got the better of me, so I decided to investigate further on this website, and my doubts were validated. I can't help but wonder why BT hasn't taken any action to put a stop to this.BT11 yearsToday, we received a phone call from 'BT Exchange' inquiring about the number of phone lines on our system, as they were making updates to the local exchange. I decided to jot down a contact number and decided to search on Google for some information. I came across a page where I found a comment that seemed relevant, so I read it out and before I could say anything else, they abruptly ended the call. This type of dubious marketing tactic is starting to wear on me.BT ExchangeGoogle11 yearsBeware of individuals posing as BT exchange representatives and requesting information about the number of phones you have and the age of your system. BT does not require this information, nor would they inform non-BT customers about work being done on the exchange. It is important not to provide any details to these individuals.BT11 yearsI adopted the identical technique, but the moment I requested a name, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the line as he disconnected. It turned out to be yet another fraudulent scheme!11 yearsI received a phone call at 13:05, the individual on the line introduced themselves as representatives from BT. According to them, they were planning to conduct some maintenance work at our nearby exchange. They inquired about the number of telephones we had and whether any of them were over three years old. They proceeded to ask for the name of our managing director, which raised my suspicions. They claimed it was necessary to notify him about the works and ensure appropriate liability coverage. To err on the side of caution, I politely took down their contact number and informed them that I would return their call later.BTSubmit Your Own Report (0800 679079)
