Expert Opinion
Ever wondered why that unknown call leaves you uneasy? These reports paint a clear picture of a persistent scam operation masquerading as BT representatives, pushing fake deals on phone services or digital upgrades to extract personal details. Callers often fall silent, hang up abruptly, or probe for providers like Sky or Virgin before vanishing—classic red flags for fraud. Don't engage; simply hang up and block the number straight away. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances, and if you've shared info, alert your bank or Action Fraud immediately. Staying vigilant keeps scammers at bay without a fuss.
