Definitely BT - I had a broadband problem and they rang me on my mobile, on this number, so that I could put the landline 'phone down whilst they tested the line and sorted the problem.  It is a call centre for BT technical problems; whether they do other work for BT or other 'phone providers, I've no idea.

Confirmed by BT that this is NOT them. It is a phishing scam. AVOID!

From BT I have some work done and they are calling to see if completed.

I had a phone call from the number, the lady said that she was BT and that we owed money on an account number which I did not recognise. I know that we are fully up to date with all our bills, so will be calling BT back via a number advertised on their webpage to query and to find out if this was a bogus caller.

is this number a bt number

Some Asian woman claiming to be from BT, and that the bill payment was overdue on my business line - I asked what company paid the bill for the line and she gave me the wrong company name.....these scammers aren't very good are they

I was told that my internet was compromised and that my data has been taken

I hope you didn't do anything they told you to do, or give them any information.

Called from this number today foreigner gave the usual excuse concerning my IP address being used by criminals overseas.
Told them I'm not with BT they don't seem able to take in the information.

Sick of these people constantly trying to scam everyone.  But on a lighter side it's fun winding them up  :)

100% BT. I didn't answer the call to my mobile, but a woman left a message concerning a peculiar problem I have with my mobile connection. The women spoke with a Welsh accent. Only BT and Vodafone know about this problem and there is no money involved.

This IS a BT number that BT duals out on....but it's also being used (copied) by scammers, through no fault of BT. Don't take the callers word on anything. Hang up, call BT on one of their published contact numbers if you are suspicious and never give out personal information unless YOU are calling BT on a published, known number.

After reading all the comments about this number it is now on my reject list!

Native Americans is the correct term pfft....

It was BT calling me back from a support call I lodged to check if my issue was resolved.

This number continually rings me non stop even though I do not answer the phone.

This is definitely a BT number as I recently had a problem with my landline.  I lost broadband and the line itself was very noisy.  The called me back on my mobile straight away.  My initial contact with BT was via their advertised number for faults on their website.  I accept that it could be scammed so unless you have made initial contact with BT my advice would be to ignore it.  By the way, the BT helpdesk is based in India, so if the person ringing you has a British ascent you know it's a con.

More and more calls to BT are now answered in the UK; they aim for 80% by the end of 2016. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jan ... an-call-centres

As with emails BT should ask for you by name and explain why they are calling.  They do not need to, and say they never will, ask for usernames, passwords, bank details etc.  If in doubt, hang up and call BT, either from another phone/line or after making another call first in order to ensure you are not still connected to a scammer.

This caller asked for payment for my email account and said it would go up by £7.50 per week if not paid by card today

I received a call from this number caller said he was from BT could he speak with Louise i said speaking and he said can you confirm your address and phone number and i says no you called me you should have my details and he hung up. Be careful who you give your personal details out to
