Maggie A reported unknown with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ANY INFO ON THIS CALL!! A man with a strong accent calls claiming to be from BT Openreach saying that even though I may be a customer of another provider, BT controls all UK internet connections. Claims that I have suspicious or infected router. Asks you to download Quick Support from Play Store and give him the access code it produces so that it he can check for infected IP addresses. DO NOT DO THIS. I said I was not prepared to do this and asked for a number that I could use to verify his info. He gave me 01793596931 which will connect you with a colleague who is in on the scam.

Mr Jonathan Blair reported Apparently BT with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
Foreign caller showing 07780 394984 but claiming to be available on 1793596931 pretending to be a BT engineer to "help" with the junk files in the router. Well trained scammer probably, claiming BT is the "mother" provider for internet whichever provider you're actually using.

simple1 reported unknown with the number 01793596931 as Harassment calls
Some call med (no name) and told me that they are from BT Technical Support. They went on rambling about my IP being registered with fraudsters etc. I told them that I do use the internet but I don't have an IP :) They went on for 1-2 mins and then they hung up.

Kathy reported Apparently BT with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
Called claiming to be from BT Openreach and they were cutting off my internet, I asked for number which they provided for me to call back, I thought about it and informed them I will look up a number for myself for BT and the caller became abusive and hung up. Total Scam.

FizzyD reported Apparently BT with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
Lady just called saying she was from BT and that my broadband has been hacked and if I can't download the software to fix it then my internet will be switched off. She told me to download an app which I did but upon downloading it I realised it was an app to remotely control my phone from another device. When I asked why she needed to control my old broken phone when apparently the internet line is the problem she passed me to a man who became aggressive and passed me back. I asked for her number so I could call back after I had checked that she wasn't the scammer and she tried her hardest to get me to stay on the line and open the app allowing her to control my phone! Ignore this number, total scam

Dave reported Apparently BT with the number 01793596931 as Cost trap
Indian gentleman called and insisted my internet was about to be cut-off, worryingly had access to my correct account number. Gave the 01793596931 for me to call back, actual call came from 001277 221987, obvious scam but have contacted BT to ask how they got hold of my account details.

Malvern reported 'Jonathan Watson' from BG with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
Similar to other comments added here, but the 'Indian' man called himself Jonathan Watson. He gave me the number 441793596931 to call back. Worryingly this outfit did have my full name.
Malvern replied 10/12/18 11:47 AMThis outfit was reported as spamming over two years ago, so why has not BT done anything about these people? -
Anya reported BT with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
Just received a call from an Asian gentleman called Alex Carter claiming to be from BT and saying I have a problem with my IP/internet connection. Told him I am not with BT as they are useless but he insisted that all other providers use BT and it was up to them to sort out and stop all these other people using my internet I just need to start up my computer and allow their technician access to fix! Told him I was too busy and asked him for a telephone number for me to call back when convenient to me. He eventually gave me a number to call and his name as Alex Carter and job Id as BT1912 but only when I said if he couldn’t give me this information he was clearly a scammer! These people are unbelievable & very convincing with their high pressure patter, needless to say I will not be calling back ...

Elizabeth reported Scammer claiming to be from BT with the number 01793596931 as Harassment calls
I received a call from a man with a very strong accent claiming to be from BT to help speed up our broadband. The fact that he greeted me saying “hi I’m Martin” then 5 minutes later told me his name was John Wilson, was a huge red flag. I can confirm that this is a scam call number as I called the real BT to confirm the number was not affiliated with them. Do not give out any information or allow these scammers access to your computer!

Andy reported BT with the number +441793596931 as Harassment calls
Easy to spot fraud. Man with Indian accent, claiming to be calling from BT in London, and clearly reading from a script, told me there had been lots of suspicious activity on my Internet connection. I pressed him for a genuine BT number I could call back on, and he gave me 00441793596931, a Swindon area code. Lots of background chatter, poor quality line. Told him I couldn't hear him properly and kept him talking to waste his time until he finally gave up and hung up.
I decided to have some fun and told him I was a BT Director (I'm not) and would investigate. You have never see anyone hang up as fast!
Nasty scammers. I wonder what their true motive is. Also, shame on BT for doing nothing to deal with these calls.
