Expert Opinion

Ever wonder why a call claiming to be BT or Microsoft vanishes after a few seconds? That pattern often points to a scam using spoofed numbers to trick users into revealing system details. Attackers rely on urgency, pretending to need a keyboard key or remote access, then drop the call when you question them. Always treat unsolicited tech‑support requests with suspicion: verify the caller through official channels, never share passwords or grant remote control, and hang up if the request feels off. Keep your caller ID blocked for unknown numbers, use call‑blocking apps, and report suspicious numbers to your provider to help curb these fraud attempts.

27569854721 Scam BT (scam)

Got a ring from someone claiming to be from "BT" early today, saying there's an issue with my line that's stopping my PC from working (strange, since I was on it right then with no issues...). When they inquired if BT handles my service, I shot back, "Don't you have that info?". The woman wanted me to verify the label next to the ctrl button on the keyboard's lower left. I said no and demanded proof she was really from BT, mentioning I thought it was a con. She swore she was legit, put me on wait, then disconnected. Total scam attempt. Later, I looked up the number - obviously not BT's, probably just a ploy to hack my machine. Stay alert, folks. Don't get duped by this nonsense!
