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 received a rather peculiar call from a chap with an Asian accent claiming to represent Microsoft, insisting there was an issue with my internet connection. Curiously, I decided to humour him for a bit. However, when I told him that I don’t even own a computer, he turned incredibly hostile, accusing me of being dishonest! I must admit, I lost my temper and uttered a rather rude phrase before hanging up. Typically, I wouldn’t respond in such a manner, but those blighters really do know how to rile you up!

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.

Received a call from 08008000105 at 09:34 this morning - the same number rang me two days ago at 07:30. I've been ignoring these calls since summer, so I didn’t pick up again. I did a bit of sleuthing online and found this site, where I discovered that when I attempted to call back, BT informed me that the number isn’t recognised. It's rather reassuring to know that BT is taking some measures to tackle these pesky scam calls, especially with the call-back feature they’ve presumably disabled for them!

I received a call from a lady who had an accent reminiscent of Indian backgrounds, claiming to be from BT Broadband. She went on about some supposed issues with my internet and inquired about my connection speed, suggesting I'd erroneously configured something. However, I’ve never even subscribed to BT broadband; I’m on a cable service! It’s patently obvious this is a scam!

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 received a call from two chaps with Indian accents claiming to represent BT. They inquired about my internet speed, suggesting there was an issue. Being a computer science graduate, I found myself clarifying the distinction between a megabit and a megabyte, which set off my suspicions. They then had me run a netstat command in the Windows prompt and proceeded to read out some arbitrary figures. Subsequently, they requested that I install join.me so they could access my computer, which raised significant red flags for me. I firmly declined and told them I could provide details about my router myself. One of them retorted, "Not everyone can be a BT Engineer," and as soon as I expressed my distrust in their software, they abruptly ended the call. I have a hunch they were genuinely call centre operatives (or perhaps former ones) I had engaged with previously, as they exhibited a courteous manner throughout our conversation.

Received a call earlier today-same old tale. An Asian woman named Jennifer, claiming to be from BT Openreach, insisted there was an issue with the speed of my broadband and that I wasn’t getting the optimal rate. She wanted me to boot up my computer to check my speed. I firmly declined, and she kept saying she was just trying to assist me. I responded with a polite but firm "Not interested," and hung up the line.

I’ve just had a rather peculiar phone call from a woman sporting an Indian accent, claiming to be from Openreach. She insisted that my download speeds should exceed 40mbs. Prompting me to conduct a speed test, I found myself only receiving 19mbs. Naturally, I inquired how I could verify her legitimacy. She then transferred me to her supposed supervisor, who endeavoured to persuade me of his authenticity, instructing me to press Ctrl and the Windows key on my keyboard to supposedly enhance my internet speed. I probed him further about his connections to BT Openreach, to which he suggested I check my caller ID and Google the number. Quite skeptical, I ended the call and did a quick search, which led me straight to 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.

On the 25th of November, 2015, at around 11:24 in the morning, I received a call from this number. The caller, who appeared to be an Indian lady, was rather cagey about disclosing her name, citing some sort of "confidentiality" nonsense. Instead, she took it upon herself to introduce herself as "Mrs Jones". She claimed to represent BT Openreach and insisted that there was some sort of issue with the internet connection in my city-quite peculiar considering I reside in quite a remote area. During the conversation, she threw in some rather cheeky remarks, including a rather audacious “Are you mad, madam?” when I mentioned my intention to hang up and report her antics to the police. She ominously warned me to “keep an eye out at night” too. Quite the bizarre experience!

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.

I've noticed this number popping up quite a bit over the past week, giving me a right nuisance! Thankfully, I’ve got my trusty BT 8500 Call Guardian that keeps those pesky scammers at bay, which is an absolute lifesaver. When you attempt to ring the number back, you’re met with a recorded message stating that the number doesn’t exist. Quite the dodgy operation, if you ask me!

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!
