Had the same thing happen today, called BT but they just didn’t seem bothered about it!

Got a call a moment ago from a person called Becky Stone at this number offering to cut down our bills. The moment she started asking for my bank info, I just ended the call. Honestly, do these companies really think we’d just hand over our bank details like that? Never trust phone calls asking for that sort of stuff!

Got a call last year from someone claiming Openreach and BT were now two different companies. They started pushing a ‘better deal’ on my phone line and internet. I told them to send me the info in writing. The only post I actually received was a letter from BT apologising for my cancellation. Turns out, True Telecom had gone ahead and contacted BT to switch my account without my okay, but their deal didn’t cover internet! Luckily BT sorted it out and put everything back as it was. Lesson learned: it’s best to deal with reliable companies rather than dodgy outfits like this.

Received a rather peculiar call earlier today; they seemed rather clueless about the fact that I had three different lines! After an extended chat regarding Openreach's transition to private ownership, they suddenly requested my bank details. Naturally, I replied that I never disclose such information over the phone. When I inquired about the company’s name, they mentioned True Telecom. Then, abruptly, there was a click, and a manager joined the call. I pointed out that the line was quite poor and that I would be filing a complaint with Ofcom, which I certainly have done! 😊

This morning I got a call from someone who oddly seemed unaware I had three separate phone lines! We ended up chatting for ages about Openreach turning private. They then asked for my bank info - which I refused to give over the phone. When I questioned what firm they represented, they said True Telecom.
Right after that, the line went dead, then a manager popped on. I told him the call sounded dodgy and that I'd be making a complaint to Ofcom. I've done just that now :)

So yesterday, I had a call from someone claiming to cut down my phone bill. They somehow had my address, name, and phone number, and wanted me to switch to Openreach. They said I was still tied into a BT contract, but when I said that BT contracts aren’t valid anymore after their split, they said it wasn’t a problem. Then they said they’d send me a welcome pack but needed my bank details and sort code first. I wasn’t having any of it and refused to give them. They kept insisting it was totally safe. The caller ID was hidden and they gave me an 0800 number with an extension, some Barry Jones bloke. I told them flat out I don’t share my bank info on the phone, no matter what.

Got a call from this number earlier, some bloke named Richard said he was from OpenReach and that they were taking over our BT line to help me save cash. He asked for my bank info, but I told him no way. Then he passed me over to an accounts lady who definitely wasn’t happy when I still wouldn’t share my bank details. Ended up just hanging up on them.

This also happened to my mother in law, she's 80 years old. They asked her for all her bank info and stupidly she gave it to them. Definitely wasn’t a smart move...

Got a call from someone named Nellie Fantham who said she needed my bank info to cut down costs for switching to Open Reach. Took about 20 mins, and she got pretty annoyed when I kept asking why she wanted my bank details on the phone. I just ended up hanging up. What a waste of time.

A so-called BT sales bloke rang me up, tryin’ to trick me into switching my number. When I said no and wouldn’t hand over my bank info, this guy Nathan actually threatened me, saying he knew where I lived. Honestly, steer well clear of these muppets!

Got a call from this number too, some guy named Nathan said he was from Openreach and claimed I needed to sort out a DD payment right away or my BT service would get disconnected. Didn’t buy it and just ended the call. Definitely best to stay clear of this number!

Just hang up straight away... It's a scam. They’re not connected to BT at all. BT are aware of this trick. These people just want to get control of your phone line so they can rip you off.

Got a call just now from some bloke called Craig Osborne claiming he’s taking over BT calls and could save me a fortune every few months. I told him I honestly have no idea what I’m currently paying and that I wouldn’t be committing to anything without seeing the details in writing first. He said it was my call - fair enough, I thought.

Got a call from someone named Lucy Shorter not long ago. She asked for my bank info, which was a bit odd. I ended up giving her my email by mistake, feeling pretty daft now. Seemed way too chatty to be genuine.

Got a call from someone named Craig Osborne claiming to be from Outreach, saying they’re handling B.T.’s lines now. The number he called from was 08008404060 extension 327. He asked for our bank details, saying they could help us save loads of money. I told him to ring back tomorrow instead. Didn’t seem too happy about that.

Just got a call from someone claiming to be Ryan Jones with BT Openreach. He said I had to put a Direct Debit in place for my phone bill, like it was non-negotiable. Felt a bit off to me.

Got a call from someone saying they were with BT or something, going on non stop about phone lines and some company stuff. Then out of nowhere they asked for my bank info, so I just hung up straight away. Watch out for dodgy calls like that!

I got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, and the person claimed he was phoning from BT. He started going on about how I might be overpaying on my phone charges. I asked him straight up for his name and phone number, which he gave as above, saying his name was Grant. Then I asked, "So you're definitely calling on behalf of BT?" and he quickly backtracked, “Well, I didn’t exactly say that.” Pretty obvious it was just some dodgy bloke after my card details, so I hung up. These calls keep coming through, always with the number hidden. It’s getting really annoying.

Just like the others here, I got a call today from the same lot trying to get me to set up a Direct Debit. They asked for my bank details right over the phone which made me uneasy. So I told them to send me the DD form through the post or email, plus something in writing about all the stuff they told me on the call. Haven’t received anything from them yet.

Got a call today from this number. The person said they were from some new BT commercial team and that since my lad runs a business here, we could get big discounts. I went along with it for a bit but quickly got suspicious when they wanted my email and bank info. Told them no way - they should already have that since I’m a BT customer anyway.

I got a call from a woman who said her name was Lucy Shorter, claiming she worked for Openreach. She said since there’s a business registered at our home address (which she already knew, along with the business name), they could give us big discounts on phone calls. She tried to set up a direct debit right away and asked how much we normally spend on calls each month, plus which bank the business used. I told her to post me the info so I could think about it, and she hung up after that.

Someone phoned me claiming to be from a company named 'Outridge'. They said they managed my phone line and handled my charges, which showed up on my BT bills. They mentioned I was on an incorrect charging plan and wanted to help lower my costs. I didn’t share any bank info and requested they email me the information instead. Feels a bit dodgy - do you think this might be a scam?

Randomly got a call about cheaper broadband, line rental and call deals. Been trying to get away from BT's ridiculous price hikes for ages, so this was a proper relief. They walk you through the packages, then give you a fortnight to review everything and make sure it suits before switching you over entirely. Normally I’m dead suspicious of cold calls but I’d say True Telecom is worth a shot for anyone! Truly brilliant because once you agree a price, it won’t ever go up, unlike BT who just keep jacking things up. Definitely give them a go!

Got a call from someone saying as a BT customer I’m eligible for a big discount, way better than what I’m actually paying - problem is, I haven’t been with BT for ages... total scam alert!
