9 yearsI encountered the same situation again today; I called BT and they failed to treat it with the seriousness it deserved!BT9 yearsI just had a rather suspicious call from a person named Becky Stone, who claimed they could help us save a few quid on our bills. The moment they started requesting my bank details, I quickly ended the call. Honestly, do these companies really think we're gullible? It's common sense not to share financial information over the phone!Becky Stone9 yearsI received a call last year, during which they let me know that Openreach had split from BT. They went on to claim they could provide a more advantageous package for my telephone and internet services. I requested that they mail me the specifics. However, the only correspondence that landed on my doorstep was a letter from BT expressing their regret at my departure. It turns out that True Telecom had approached BT without my consent in an attempt to terminate my account in order to switch to their services, which, rather inconveniently, didn't include internet. Thankfully, BT acted swiftly to reverse the cancellation and reinstated my account. The takeaway from this experience is to stick with established providers rather than risking it with newcomers!OpenreachBTTrue Telecom9 yearsReceived 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! 😊OpenreachTrue TelecomOfcom9 yearsI had a rather peculiar experience myself this morning-unusually, they seemed quite unaware of the fact that I had three lines! After a lengthy dialogue regarding Openreach’s transition to private ownership, they inquired about my bank details. Upon my refusal to disclose such information over the phone, I asked them to confirm their company name once more, and they replied, "True Telecom." Out of nowhere, the line disconnected, and a manager took over. I mentioned that the call wasn’t very clear and that I intended to lodge a complaint with Ofcom, which I’ve gone ahead and done! 😊OpenreachTrue TelecomOfcom9 yearsReceived a call yesterday that seemed a bit dodgy going on about trimming down my phone costs. The chap had my name, address, and number, and was keen for me to switch to Openreach. He claimed my ongoing contract with BT was rubbish since the split and that there wouldn't be any hassle in changing. Mentioned he’d be sending out a welcome pack, but lo and behold, he needed my bank account details and sort code to do so. I wasn't having any of that! He insisted it was all above board and perfectly secure, but there was something off. The call was from a withheld number, and the chap identified himself as Barry Jones, extension 357. I firmly told him that under no circumstances would I disclose my financial information to someone over the phone.OpenreachBTBarry Jones9 yearsI had a rather unusual phone call from this number earlier today. A chap named Richard introduced himself as being from OpenReach, purporting that they were assuming control of our BT line and would be saving us some cash, which certainly piqued my interest. However, when he asked for my bank details, I politely declined. He then passed me along to a woman in accounts, who seemed to get quite irate when I wouldn’t spill my banking information. At that point, I decided it best to hang up. Quite a dodgy situation, if you ask me!RichardOpenReach9 yearsMy mother-in-law had a rather troubling incident as well. At 80, she's a bit vulnerable, and someone asked her for all her banking information. Unfortunately, she went ahead and shared it. Quite frankly, that was a bit reckless, to say the least...10 yearsI received a call from a woman named Nellie Fantham who was asking for my banking information to supposedly lower some fees related to switching to Open Reach. It turned into quite a frustrating 20 minutes as I pressed her for a reason behind requesting such sensitive details over the phone. In the end, I decided to end the conversation.Nellie FanthamOpen Reach10 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from BT, attempting to persuade me to change my phone service. The chap, Nathan, became quite aggressive when I declined to share my banking information, even going so far as to insinuate he had my address! I wouldn't recommend dealing with them at all - steer clear of this lot, they're dodgy!BTNathan10 yearsI received a call from this number as well, with someone named Nathan on the line claiming to be from Openreach. He insisted that I needed to make a direct debit payment right then and there, or else my BT service would be disconnected. I promptly ended the call - steer clear of this number!NathanOpenreach10 yearsDon’t waste any time-just end the call! These are definitely con artists with no ties to BT. It’s well known that BT is aware of this situation. Their aim is to hijack your phone line for their own financial gain.BT10 yearsI’ve just had a call from a chap named Craig Osborne, claiming he was with a company that’s taking over the phone service from BT. He promised he could help me save a fair whack of money each quarter. When I mentioned I wasn’t entirely clear on my current expenses and preferred not to commit to anything without some proper documentation, he said it was my call. Quite right, I say!Craig OsborneBT10 yearsReceived a rather peculiar call from a woman named Lucy Shorter today. Oddly enough, she was after my bank details as well. In a moment of weakness, I ended up sharing my email address! I’m feeling rather foolish about it now. She seemed far too congenial to be genuine.Lucy Shorter10 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be with Outreach, stating they were taking over from BT. The chap's name was Craig Osborne, and he rang me on 08008404060 ext 327. He was rather keen to get our bank details, insisting they could help us save a considerable amount. I told him to give me a ring again tomorrow, which didn't seem to sit well with him at all!OutreachBTCraig Osborne10 yearsThe line was completely silent, with nobody on the other end.10 yearsWho should we reach out to about this? I just had a call from someone named Ryan Jones!Ryan Jones10 yearsA young woman with a September birthday rang me, claiming she was from some outreach programme. She insisted she could offer me a sweeter deal than BT. Then, rather suspiciously, she asked for my bank information.BT10 yearsI received a phone call today from a chap claiming to be Ryan Jones from BT Openreach. He insisted that I must establish a Direct Debit for my phone bill, stating it as if there was no alternative option. Quite baffling, really!Ryan JonesBT OpenreachDirect Debit10 yearsI received a rather peculiar call from someone purporting to be associated with BT. They waffled on extensively about telephone lines and various providers before abruptly asking for my bank information. At that point, I promptly hung up. Do exercise caution, folks!BT10 yearsI received a rather peculiar call from a number that was hidden. The individual on the other end claimed to be from BT and launched into a lengthy spiel about how I might be overspending on my phone bills. Curious, I cut in and asked for his name and telephone number, which he provided as displayed above, and referred to himself as Grant. I pressed him further, "So you're indeed calling from BT?". He swiftly backtracked and insisted that he hadn't said that at all! It became painfully clear that this was yet another opportunist attempting to fish for my bank card information. I didn't hesitate to terminate the conversation. It's becoming quite the nuisance, these incessant calls from withheld numbers.BTGrant11 yearsI found myself in a rather similar situation today, much like the previous two commenters. They were eager to establish a Direct Debit, requesting my banking information over the phone. I insisted they send me the Direct Debit form by post or email, together with a written summary of the details they had just conveyed. So far, nothing has arrived.Direct Debit11 yearsA fortnight ago, I received a call from this organisation. I must say, they were quite pleasant and their service was exemplary!11 yearsEarlier today, I received a rather curious call from this number. The caller purporting to be from BT's newly established commercial division, insisted that we were eligible for significant discounts because my son operates a business at our residence. I entertained the conversation for a bit and shared minimal details. However, things took a turn when they requested my email and bank details - information they should already possess since I’m an existing BT customer. I decided to put a stop to it right there!BT11 yearsHad a call from someone purporting to be from BT, constantly pestering me for my bank information. Seems like a total scam!BT11 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call from a woman identifying herself as Lucy Shorter. She claimed to be representing Openreach and mentioned that due to the fact we operate a business from our home address-which she was familiar with along with the name of the business-they could provide us with significant savings on our phone bills. She was rather pushy about establishing a direct debit on the spot and inquired about our monthly expenditure on calls and the banking institution we utilise for the business. I suggested that she send the information by post for me to review, and she abruptly concluded the conversation.Lucy ShorterOpenreach11 yearsI received a phone call from a woman claiming to represent a firm named 'Outridge'. She mentioned that they managed my phone line and were responsible for the charges reflected in my BT bills. Apparently, I was on an incorrect billing plan, and she assured me that they could help lessen my costs. However, when she requested my bank information, I declined and instead asked her to provide the information in writing. I can't shake the feeling that this might be a scam. Does that sound about right?Outridge11 yearsReceived an unexpected call today from a chap who offered me some cracking deals on line rental, call rates, and broadband! It felt like a stroke of luck, considering I've been itching to ditch BT's outrageous price hikes for ages. They provided a thorough rundown of the packages on offer, and I was given a fortnight to peruse the details and ensure it all sat well with me before the switch was made. Now, I know folks can be hesitant when it comes to unsolicited callers, but I genuinely think True Telecom deserves a shout out! They've been absolutely fantastic; the best part is that the price you sign up for is locked in - no sneaky increases! A little something for BT to ponder over, I reckon!BTTrue Telecom11 yearsI received a call claiming that, as a BT customer, I was eligible for a discount that far exceeds my current charges. The catch is, I haven't been a BT customer for ages! Definitely sounds like a scam to me!BTSubmit Your Own Report (0800 840 4060)
