Phone number ☎️ 0800838738 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting businesses with fake letters and calls claiming overdue BT bills, often for non-existent phone book advertising. Recipients consistently state they have no account with BT and warn others not to respond or call the provided number, as the scammers pressure for payment and threaten debt collection. Genuine BT customer service confirms these demands are fraudulent. The scam involves official-looking letters and recorded messages to sound credible, but discrepancies in account details and unprofessional communication reveal the deception. Users recommend verifying accounts through official BT channels only, ignoring unsolicited correspondence, and never calling suspicious numbers to avoid falling victim to this ongoing fraud.
Reports on phone number 0800838738
2 yearsFor the past four years, my little business keeps getting letters from "BT" claiming we owe £369 for a bill we never had. We don’t have any account with them, so it’s clearly a scam. I really hope no one falls for these letters or the fancy recorded message when you ring their number. You get connected to what sounds like a call centre with someone struggling with English, telling you your account will go to debt collectors. Total rubbish!BT3 yearsgot a letter from bt asking me to pay up, but i ain't got any bt service or account or anything haha.BT3 yearsThat call was totally a scam, I’d say just ignore it and don’t give out any info!3 yearsI never got a call, just received a letter that looked proper from BT saying I owe money and to ring 0800838738. It’s definitely a scam.BT3 yearsGot a call from this number and it’s definitely a scam - i ain’t got any bt account or anything with them!!BT3 yearsThat was definitely a scam, no doubt about it.5 yearsI got a letter demanding payment for a BT account that I've never even had.BT5 yearsI received a letter regarding a pavement for a BT account that I actually don’t hold.5 yearsI called BT billing and they confirmed that this number is definitely a scam.BT5 yearsI got a letter saying we owed money but thought it was a scam, so I just ignored it. Then another letter came, with extra fees and a warning about a debt collection company. I decided to call BT on their official business customer service line to sort it out. The team there was really helpful and sorted everything. I also asked them if anyone had opened an account in our name, and they confirmed those letters weren’t from BT at all. Like others here suggest, don’t call the number on the letter - it’s definitely a scam.BT5 yearsThis number popped up again, linked to a letter from BT claiming I had an unpaid bill. Seemed fishy to me.BT5 yearsI got a letter saying I owe BT money and it had a phone number on it. It even had an account number, but when I checked, it wasn't mine at all. The letter looked really legit, like a proper copy, but the details just didn’t add up. Sounds like a scam to me, especially since others here have mentioned similar things.BT5 yearsGot a letter at my work from someone claiming to be BT - totally a scam. Never ring the number they provide in those letters, it’s always best to just look up the official number on Google first. Don’t get caught out!BT5 yearsGot a call about a bt payment, but ive never even had an account with them. Definitely felt like a scam.BT5 yearsi received calls and messages demanding payment for a bt account, but i have never had anything to do with that number or account.BT5 yearsthis number has called me quite a few times claiming i owe about £500 for advert placement in the bt phone directory. each time ive asked them to send me the full details through the post so i can check who they really are, but ive had nothing from them so far. obviously, i wont be paying until i can definitely confirm their identity. i never agreed to any adverts but they say it gets automatically renewed unless cancelled. something about the whole thing seems dodgy, but i cant be completely certain yet.5 yearsI received an email saying I owed £144 for some BT directory listing for my business. It asked me to call 0800 838738 to sort out the payment. I didn’t pay it though, as I don’t remember signing up or getting anything about it before. Lucky I looked up that number online first, found out loads of people had called it a scam!6 yearsOn the 31st of July, 2020, I got a letter supposedly from BT saying I owed money and telling me to ring this 0800 number. Total scam!BT6 yearsGot this letter saying it was from BT and it came to our business’s actual location, but weirdly it was addressed to the building name, not our company name, which made me suspicious. The letter said it was an invoice for some phone directory and online ads. I looked it up on the real BT phone directory site because we’ve never signed up for anything like that, and there was nothing about it. I wouldn’t send any money - if you get something like this, ring BT using the contact info from their official site to double check first.BT6 yearsI never got a phone call at all. Instead, I recieved a letter saying I owed BT £130.80. The letter looked like it came from BT, but it was written so poorly that I was certain it was a scam.BT6 yearsJust got a call from 0800 838 738 saying I owe £120 on a BT account, but we’ve never had any contact with them or made any payments. Seems like a total scam to me, we don’t deal with BT at all and definitely won’t be coughing up any money!BT6 yearsGot three letters from some BT Credit Management lot, telling me to sort out an overdue bill by ringing 0800838738. Total scam, don’t fall for it!BT Credit Management6 yearsGot a letter about an outstanding bill from BT but I’ve never had any unpaid bills with them. Didn’t bother calling that number, seemed dodgy to me!BT7 yearsI received a call from an 0800 number, which I understand is a free call in New Zealand. The individuals on the line had Chinese accents and were making dubious claims about representing ANZ Bank. I wasn't having any of it, so I promptly hung up!New ZealandANZ Bank7 yearsfollowing on from previous remarks - got a letter about owing bt money and it had this number on it.8 yearsI've gotten a few letters saying I owe BT money but when I check with them, they say there's no bill left unpaid! Don't know what's going on.BT10 yearsI received a couple of calls from this number, but they hung up before I had a chance to answer. Quite frustrating, really, as they seem to ring just long enough to get my hopes up!10 yearsAs far as we can discern, this number seems to be associated with BT. It's possible that if you've had any sort of advertisement listed in the phone directory or any similar platform, this could be the reason. Alternatively, if you're familiar with someone who works at BT, it’s not uncommon for their calls to come up under this number, especially when they’re using phones designated for employee use. Do take this with a pinch of salt, but we have a strong feeling that this is correct! Hope this proves useful!BT12 yearsI've had countless missed calls from this number. It seems like they hang up just before I get a chance to answer!Submit Your Own Report (0800 838738)
