08008000105 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08008000105 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call from individuals claiming to be BT Openreach, often featuring Asian-accented voices. Callers allege issues with broadband speed and attempt to persuade recipients to perform speed tests or grant remote access to their computers. Many recipients recognise the calls as fraudulent, citing withheld or unrecognised numbers and suspicious behaviour, such as refusal to provide verifiable contact details or use of remote control software. Some have reported aggressive or rude conduct when questioned. Genuine BT or Openreach representatives typically do not cold-call customers requesting such actions. It is advised to decline these calls, avoid sharing personal or computer access information, and verify any broadband concerns directly through official channels.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Openreach about some speed tests. She said they were active in my area, which I could confirm since I’ve seen their van nearby. She already knew my postcode, so I checked my internet speeds for her. Then she tried to get me to connect to a device or something, so I just ended the call. The number was hidden when I tried to look it up. Really curious what info they’re after from folks who actually go along with it?

Got a call from an Asian bloke claiming he was with BT Openreach, wanted me to confirm my name - I refused. Then he said my broadband speed was all over the place and asked if I could do a speed test by searching ‘speed tester’ on Google. I asked him for the office phone number, he rattled off something but it didn’t sound right so I just ended the call. The caller didn’t show their number.

I got a ring from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft saying there was some issue with my internet. I played along at first, but when I told him I didn't own a computer, he got really rude and accused me of lying! That really set me off, so I fired back a proper curse at him and then ended the call. Not usually my style to snap like that, but these scammers really know how to push your buttons!

They didn't show their number when they called me. An Asian woman rang saying she was from BT Openreach and wanted to test my broadband speed. I said I was with Virgin Media but she insisted everything was run through BT, which might be right. I told her if there were issues I'd contact Virgin myself and then ended the call. I left the phone off the hook for a bit so they couldn’t ring straight back.

I got a ring from 08008000105 at 9.34 in the morning, couple of days back. There was an earlier call around 7.30am too, but I ignored both as these calls have been coming nonstop since summer. I tried phoning the number myself but when I checked it on google using this site, I found out from a BT operator that the number isn’t in their system. Bit of a relief to see BT stepping up and blocking these scammer numbers.

Got a call from a lady with a kinda Indian accent claiming to be from BT Broadband. She said there was an issue with my internet and asked about my connection speed. Then she insisted I’d done something wrong, which isn’t true at all. I don’t even have BT broadband, mine’s cable. Honestly, this sounds like a total scam to me.

Got a call today from a woman with an Asian accent who said her name was Jennifer and claimed she was with Openreach. She told me my broadband speed wasn’t up to what it should be and asked me to switch on my computer to test it. I just said “no thanks, not interested” and hung up straight away.

I got a call from a couple of blokes with Indian accents claiming to be from BT. They started asking about my internet speed and insisted there was a problem with it. I ended up explaining the difference between megabits and megabytes (I know a bit about computers, I studied it at uni), which made me a bit wary. They asked me to run netstat in Windows command prompt and then read out some random figures. Next thing, they wanted me to download join.me and let them access my computer remotely. That was an immediate red flag for me. I said no and offered to tell them info about my router if that’s what they needed. They replied with “not everyone can be a BT engineer,” and after I mentioned I didn’t trust the software, they just hung up. I reckon these were probably call centre workers, maybe even ex-staff, who had my number from previous conversations. They sounded polite enough, which adds to the suspicion.

Got a call earlier today, pretty much the same old tale. An Asian woman named Jennifer from BT Openreach rang up saying there was an issue with my internet speed, claiming I wasn't getting the best possible deal. She asked me to turn on my PC to test the speed. I told her no way I was doing that, and she insisted she was just trying to assist. I just said “I’m not interested” and hung up straight away.

I just got a call from a lady with an Indian accent claiming to be from Openreach. She said my download speed should be above 40mbps and asked me to run a speed test, which showed only 19mbps. When I asked how I could be sure she really worked for Openreach, she passed me onto her supervisor. The bloke on the line tried to convince me he was legit and told me to press the Ctrl and Windows keys together to boost my internet speed. I wasn’t convinced, so I asked again if he was actually from BT Openreach. He told me to check the caller ID and look up the number online. I ended the call and had a quick search - ended up right here on this site.

Got a call from an Asian lady claiming to be from British Telecom, but all I caught was something about broadband. I asked her straight up, ‘what exactly are you trying to sell?’ She mumbled something I couldn’t make out, so I told her I’m not with BT. After that, she went quiet and then just hung up. I’m guessing she’ll call again, probably around meal times since this one was at half past twelve.

This number rang me on 25th November 2015 at about 11.24 in the morning. A lady who sounded like she was Indian called but wouldn’t tell me her real name, saying it would break "confidentiality" rules. Then she tried to convince me her name was "Mrs Jones." She said she was with BT Openreach and there was an issue with the internet in my town, which is ridiculous since I live nowhere near a city. When I told her I was ending the call and would report it to the police, she started being rude and even asked me if I was "mad madam" and told me to "watch at night." Proper scammer behaviour, I reckon.

I got a call from a man and then a woman, both sounding Asian, claiming to be from BT Openreach. They said my internet speed was too slow, but I told them it wasn't and that I'm not even a BT Openreach customer. I went on to mention my download speed was 195, upload 15, and ping 15. The woman said the upload was too slow and wanted me to turn on my PC and log into Google so she could fix it. I refused right away, cos with all the dodgy scammers about, I’m not risking it. What really freaked me out was her reciting my home address - that’s seriously worrying and could be dangerous.

Woman with an Asian accent rang me. She said she was from Openreach and that my internet speed was slow, so she wanted to boost it and asked if I could check my broadband speed then and there. When I asked if she was with BT, she said yes. I then asked why they'd need me to check the speed if they could see it themselves, which clearly annoyed her quite a bit. I ended the call before it got worse.

Classic situation - a bloke with an Asian name but a very British one too, right from the start you know something's fishy. Claimed he was from BT Openreach asking about broadband speeds and stuff. I told him to hang on a sec, then just left him hanging, wasted his time while I carried on with what I was doing. After a while he got bored and ended the call - well, at least he wasn’t pestering anyone else while he was waiting around.

Over the past week, I've gotten quite a few calls from this number. Luckily, I've got the BT 8500 Call Guardian system that stops most of these scam calls right away. When I tried ringing it back, it just played a recorded message saying the number doesn’t exist.

During the lunch hour over here in the UK, there simply aren't enough call handlers scheduled to manage the incoming calls, which is why this one was abandoned. Rest assured, these individuals will likely get back in touch when it becomes absolutely crucial.

Had a similar run-in but i cut them off pretty quick. why would a legit company ring me out of nowhere about something i never reported? sounds like a total scam to me. also got some racist rubbish from someone on 4/11/15, which was just not on. i guess the people making these calls might not even understand what they’re saying tho, and job conditions in some asian countries aren’t the best, so maybe there’s more behind it.

Got a call today from a bloke with an Asian accent who said he was ringing from Open Reach working for BT. He wanted to check my internet speed was slower cos they were doing some maintenance nearby. I told him I wasn’t actually online at the moment and just waited to see what he’d say next. He asked me to get online, but I just said I wasn’t interested and figured the speed would get better soon. After that, he just dropped the call.

Got a call from a man with an Asian accent calling himself Mark, saying he was from BT Openreach. He claimed there was a fault with my internet speed and wanted me to turn on my computer to check it, which I refused. I told him everything was fine speed-wise, but he kept pushing me (I wasn’t having any of it though!). I also told him it was rude to keep cutting me off. Eventually, he gave up. Hopefully, by wasting his time a bit, I’ve stopped him from bothering someone else.

I told them I wanted to ring back, so they gave me this number 02080280035, but it doesn't work with BT. Then they pass you over to a supervisor, a bloke who sounded Indian, and he starts telling me to download this thing called Supremo to my computer. It’s a remote access programme, and if you let them in, they’ll probably plant a proper virus and try to scare you into paying up to unlock your computer - which honestly, I'd never do.

Just like the one mentioned before, a woman with an Indian accent, saying she’s from BT Openreach, called me saying I should get quicker download speeds. I played along a bit, following her steps on how to run netstat to ‘check’ the connection - which is rubbish since netstat actually shows network connections, not the speed. They try to freak you out by asking if there’s any weird numbers in the foreign address bit. Obviously, most of those addresses are going to be unfamiliar!
