Following a brief silence, an Indian voice started chatting with someone off‑screen, then realised the call was live. He launched into a script claiming to be “Simon” from BT. I cut him off with “You’re lying, mate!” which seemed to fluster him. I added, “You’re not with BT, you’re a fraudulent scammer – get lost!” He tried to respond as I hung up. This was the sixth call in two days from “undetermined” numbers, all claiming to be BT/Openreach about internet issues, even though I use satellite service.

专家点评
During a quiet afternoon in the UK, reports highlight persistent calls from this number mimicking BT representatives with a scripted pitch on internet issues. The caller, posing as 'Simon' with an Indian accent, often fumbles after initial silence, revealing the scam's amateurish setup. These repeated attempts—six in two days—target satellite users, falsely claiming terrestrial problems to extract data or money. Hang up immediately without engaging; block the number via your phone or provider. Report to Action Fraud to curb these nuisances. Stay vigilant against unsolicited tech support claims, as genuine firms like BT won't cold-call for such matters.
