Calls from +441729766678 are associated with BT Scam - Expert Opinion

The phone number 01729766678 is overwhelmingly reported as a scam. Multiple users describe receiving emails and calls from this number pretending to be BT (British Telecom) and threatening service disconnection unless action is taken. This is a classic phishing scam aiming to obtain personal information or financial details. The caller uses email as a primary method of contact to spread scam information and links to fake websites. The mention of Settle as a call centre location is a false claim, as BT's call centers are not located there. This technique is used to add a layer of credibility to make the scam seem more convincing. The consensus across all reports points towards malicious intent and a high likelihood of financial loss if engaged with.
