Expert Opinion
A caller, identified as a woman with a heavy Asian accent, claims to be from BT Openreach's technical department. She contacted users to report a supposed fault with their router speed. However, many users found the call suspicious and hung up. It's likely a scam, as BT Openreach typically doesn't make unsolicited calls about such issues. If you receive a call like this, verify the caller's identity by hanging up and dialling BT Openreach directly using a known and trusted number. Stay vigilant and never share personal information over the phone, especially with unverified callers.

A recorded message from BT Openreach’s appointment system, triggered by a fault on a business line I reported via my ISP, read out the appointment time. The voice was barely intelligible – BT, as a telecom provider, could at least use a more natural robot voice – but it did confirm the details I needed, which is why I gave it an OK rating.

Harassment Call
Several attempts have been made from this number at all hours; I ignore it because I don't recognise it, yet the calls still reach my voicemail and no message is ever left.
After bombarding me with countless texts about my Broadband appointment, BT Openreach finally called and left a voicemail repeating the reminder; the appointment is tomorrow and I expect a flood of further messages before then.

Later that day I got an automated voice call after ordering a Vodafone FTTP broadband and landline (I'm still on FTTC). I figured it’d be Vodafone or Openreach, but the caller stayed anonymous and the message was vague, mate.
An automated BT Openreach message notified me about an engineer’s visit 👍
A missed call left no voicemail; previously, on Sunday mornings, I’ve gotten calls pretending to be Bank Security, warning of multiple payment requests—typically a tiny Amazon charge and a large bank transfer.

A call from 0800 023 2023 played a recorded message about an unspecified fault outside; my flatmate terminated the call and I recommend others do the same—definitely a scam.

I ignored the ring because the number was unknown, and no voicemail was left.
To stop the number from calling again, dial 1572 – that's BT Call Protect. Just listen to the prompt, confirm the number you wish to block, and that's it.
This was an Openreach call confirming a scheduled appointment for full‑fibre broadband installation.
A 21‑second voicemail arrived from this number and remains unopened; additionally, two texts claiming to be from Openreach were received recently.
A recorded voicemail from this number confirmed an Open Reach appointment, matching all my details, which suggests legitimacy; however, the robotic tone and repeated calls feel shady, so I’d avoid providing any new information.
This appears to be a scam; the Google listing isn’t hosted by Openreach but by a forum page. I’d avoid answering and advise BT to stick to official communications. Thanks to everyone flagging it.
Received a call posing as BT Openreach, alleging my internet was set to “open”. When I mentioned worries about scam calls, the caller suggested I verify using the personal network number 888DCA60 – the same identifier another commenter listed. I told them I’d contact BT directly on a separate line, after which they disconnected. Research shows 888DCA60 appears in multiple fraud schemes, from bogus network numbers to fake Microsoft IDs.

I have logged a report about this call.
It turned out to be a scam—when I requested their name and number they spoke over me and gave an 0800 line that simply cut out, claiming my computer software was compromised. Hang up.
