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.

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!

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.

I received a call from this number, which turned out to be BT attempting to rectify a billing mistake they made. The whole process dragged on for more than thirty minutes, and to add insult to injury, I’ve ended up with a charge of over £23 just for the hassle. There was absolutely nothing on my bill to suggest this was a premium rate number, but frankly, I was left with little option in the matter. It's truly disheartening. I can recall a time when BT was a name that commanded respect, rather than a corporation that takes advantage of its dominant position to exploit 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.

Absolutely appalling behaviour from BT to demand such a hefty fee... £13 just to sort out an issue they created themselves. It's a right shambles, honestly!

They really have the cheek to do this, which completely shatters any admiration I had for big corporations.

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.

I decided to ring up BT for assistance, only to find myself speaking to a chap who insisted that I should dial this particular number. Naturally, I was keen to settle my bill, so I did just that. Turns out, I’ve been taken for a ride and ended up with an extra £45 on my phone bill. Lesson learned, I suppose! I'll certainly be more vigilant next time.

I decided to ring the number 0870 2505566 as per BT's guidance and was hit with a £6 fee since it’s a non-geographic number. They didn't bother to mention that there'd be an extra charge for that call, leaving me quite frustrated.

They also gave us another number for customer support: 08456006156.
