Sheila_P Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I just had a call purporting to be from BT Collections Department. I was told that my account had been suspended today and that I was now only allowed incoming calls. When I told him that I didn't understand why he was telling me this, he repeated himself. When I thanked him for letting me know, he hung up! His basic error was that I'm not with BT, so I was onto him right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks for the warning.. No doubt they may also use the names of other phone service providers too in the hope that they get it right some of the time. Did you report it to BT ?

Sheila_P Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 No, I'll call the Collections Department tomorrow. I've contacted the Police about it and have been given an incident no. I'm not wonderful on accents but the caller sounded Chinese to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmina Fothergill Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm not wonderful on accents but the caller sounded Chinese to me. That sounds like the one attempt they made to be authentic. If you've tried talking to `British' Telecom recently you'll know what I mean.
