Phone scam or genuinely BT???

[Kerryhomer77]

We have been having calls from 01324453034 stating we need to settle our bill or they will cut us off, now we do have an outstanding bill but thats due to an ongoing disbute with BT and they have told us not to pay it till the issue has been resolved. So is this a standard call from BT??? they have asked us to pay over the phone and get very shirty when I say it's a business account that gets paid for online, they then hang up on me I have had 2 calls a day all week from this number.

When I google said number it comes up with a scams from back in 2009, 2011 and earlier but nothing from 2013, can you confirm either way.

Sounds like a scam to me. Be aware that while companies may remind customers about their bill, they do not initiate the call and demand immediate payments. That caller is most likely a fraud, claiming to be affiliated with the company when clearly, he is not.

By the way, the number he used is not a valid phone number. Rather, it looks more like a random code assigned to calls made from a computer. Just like those strange numbers reported at Callercenter.com, the numbers do not represent the caller nor indicate the location.
