An Indian sounding man, told me he was calling from BT Technical dept and my computer is at risk of being hacked. I told him that I didn't believe he was from BT, and asked him to verify who he thought he was speaking to, he gave me my name! I then said, what is my Account No. then, he started to get a bit irate, telling me he was from the technical dept and they didn't hold that information!! I then said, well, If you're from BT and there's a problem, I'll call them tomorrow and ask to speak to their technical team. He then said "Madam, your internet is going to be shut down in 30 minutes". I just hung up and then checked the number.
This number has rang 3 times this morning ( saturday ) i answed on 3rd attempt but nothing?? Cant wait to speak to him tho 😉
Had a missed call from this number. My home phone has a Call blocking facility that blocks all numbers not stored in my phone, phone did not even ring and I have googled this number which has led me here. Get a call blocking phone and it gets rid of this kind of pest.
Early morning call from this number claiming to be BT. Informed me that my Internet connection was corrupt and would be switched off in two hours for six months! When I was asked to take down his contact details for a special code to connect me I ended the call.
Ditto the same BT scam. When I challenged him he hung up. Surely BT should be on to this? Will msg them and post the response.
Just had a call from this number. Second "spam" call of today. Foreign man saying he was from BT. Mumbled something about the internet connection and then wanted to know if I was the owner of the computer in the house. I said his was the second call of this nature this morning and could I have his number. He hung up.
Had a call from this number today 21st March. It was a foreign man and had trouble understanding him but basically he said he was from BT and my internet was going to be disconnected and he would send me documents in the post to have it reconnected. I asked him again where he was calling from and he hung up
Have received several phone calls from Asian man, today said he was called Peter. Wanted to discuss my computer and internet. I have told them I do not want to deal with them. They do not seem to take 'No' for an answer
They rung at 9:06am, I answered but they hung up, tried calling back half a ring and it was cut off, and I had a message on the phone screen saying, the call cannot be connected.
I had a missed call from this number on my mobile...very very concerned about how they got my mobile number
Same story: Asian accent, claiming to represent BT Technical Services. Internet will be cut off in 30 minutes. My wife answered and passed him to me. I told him he was lying and he rang off. He was ringing on a Virgin phone line. The number ostensibly used is not recognised. More importantly, Ofcom's website does not appear to have a facility for reporting this. Why not?
Just received a call from this number claiming that my BT line would be disconnected. I replied ok and the caller asked if that was a problem. I just said no that's fine, he couldn't understand why I was not bothered but just hung up. What I suspect he wanted was either access to a computer or perhaps payment to stop the disconnection. This is just a job to these people and they have no morals whatsoever. If BT or whoever were forced to investigate every call it would stop overnight.
