08702405566 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08702405566 👆 is reported as a scam number frequently associated with fraudulent calls, emails, and letters claiming to be from BT, requesting payment for non-existent outstanding bills. Many users confirm they are not BT customers yet receive threatening messages and calls directing them to this premium-rate number, resulting in unexpected charges. Genuine BT communications use different contact details, typically freephone numbers, and this number is not recognised by official BT representatives. The scam often involves sophisticated impersonation, including realistic letters and email correspondence, sometimes with incorrect or suspicious contact information. Victims are advised not to call or respond, to verify any claims directly through official BT channels, and to report incidents to relevant authorities. Caution and vigilance are strongly recommended to avoid financial loss or data compromise.

I got a letter with the BT logo on it saying I owe money for a bill I never had, cos I don’t use any BT services at all! The payment number was 08702405566. This has to be a total scam! Why hasn’t BT blocked that number yet? Loads of people have flagged it as a scam before!

I’ve got a few letters pretending to be from BT claiming I owe money from bills as far back as 2019. I called BT on a verified number and they told me I don’t owe anything at all. The letters ask me to call 08702 405566 to pay by card, but that number is obviously a scam!

Some bloke said he was from BT. I’m pretty tight with BT Openreach myself, using their broadband and it’s really good. I’ve got a hub, the EE range extender and three round repeaters because my office walls are lined with foil-backed plasterboard, acting like a Faraday Cage. I’d say this is a dodgy call for sure!

I just got a letter with the BT logo on it, but it was printed on plain paper, asking me to settle a supposed debt of £73.48. I’m certain I don’t owe BT anything! The letter looks kinda real since it has the right business info, but there’s none of the usual BT terms and conditions on the back and the contact info is really sparse. I’m not buying it and reckon it’s a scam for sure.

08702 405566 I rang BT to try and get a mistake on my bill fixed. Took ages, like 30 minutes or more, just to get it sorted. Then I noticed I’ve been hit with a charge of more than £23 for the call itself. Nowhere on the bill did it say it’d be a premium rate number, and honestly, I didn’t really have an option but to call. Properly frustrating. I’m old enough to recall when BT was actually a trusted company, not this lot taking advantage of their market power to nick money off their (thankfully) former customers.

I'm really worried about the amount of scam emails I keep getting, all saying there's an unpaid BT bill. They give a phone number to call for payment - 0870 240 5566. If someone checks these emails on their phone, they might totally think it's legit. The only way I spotted it was by checking the links on my computer - when I hovered my mouse over them, the web address looked strange (today it was something like [#]sites.google[###]/view/bt--vieweeee/home? etc). I’ve tried reaching out to BT about this but they just tell me to report the emails instead.

Someone called saying they were from BT about an unpaid bill but used a premium rate phone number, which seemed odd since BT usually uses freephone. They asked loads of unusual questions that didn’t seem right. I wouldn’t give my card info, and then they said they’d put me through to their payments team. I just ended the call. I sorted my bill using the free number on the back of my bill. I wouldn’t trust that number at all.

Got another reminder about payment in the post recently. We're a business so this seemed off, especially since we always sort payments by Direct Debit. They’ve provided the number above to call for payment or questions but I’m guessing it’s one of those premium rate lines. Just a heads up to everyone, it looks like an official BT bill, right down to the envelope, so be careful!

Got a call late yesterday about a bill for a line we’d been arguing with BT over for ages. Thing is, we’d already sorted everything the day before, including a £120 compensation from BT and agreed a new contract. The caller spoke really good English but had a strong accent, and it felt strange being asked to ring BT on an 0870 number. I called BT myself today and they confirmed that number is linked to them. Thinking back, earlier in the dispute we had what seemed like a call from the same place. When we challenged the amount and refused to pay by card immediately, we asked to speak to a supervisor but were told no. After pushing, they just hung up on us. Honestly, it seems BT might be using a dodgy debt collection company, and I reckon very little of any payments actually get to BT instead going to these sketchy "collectors".

We've recently received a call from BT, apparently based in the Philippines, regarding a payment linked to a BT account. The moment we asked for a way to get in touch with them moving forward, they handed us the number 08702405566, claiming it's a recorded line for payment inquiries. They also gave us another number for customer support: 08456006156. While I'm not entirely suspicious of their intentions, it felt quite intrusive, especially since they're chasing us over a nonexistent bill that we have no record of whatsoever!

When we inquired about future communication with them, they supplied us with the number 08702405566, saying it’s a line for recorded payments. They also gave us a customer service number, 08456006156. While I don't want to outright declare it suspicious, the frequency of their calls was verging on harassment, especially since they're pursuing a nonexistent bill that we’ve never seen before!
