Scam/Fraud
18 Jul 2025
Called today 10 15am. Indian voice saying he was from BT. and I have a problem with my internet speed, I am disabled could not speak so my husband took over and asked him what the problem was. He did not reply to any question at all and Promptly put the phone down. I had a call from this number before and it was a call centre making scam calls. You can research it I tried to call back but no answer. Based on previous experience I would say Scam Fraud after data. Previous scammer stole a lot of money.
