Just received a call from this number claiming to be BT, saying that they own the line and wanted to check that we were on digital so that they could continue to decommission the copper lines. Do not engage with them.

Said there was a problem with our BT line and he wanted to ask a few questions. We have a VOIP system !
Claims to be BT, asking to speak to the 'owner' of an old landline before they decommission it. when told them only had one phone and no system hung up.
Claims to be BT, asking to speak to the 'owner' of an old landline before they decommission it. Definite scam, fishing for information.
