“Knocked on my door. Told not interested. Came back the next day! Telling me my prices are increasing which is totally incorrect I am with BT essentials amd they are not increasing”
“Claimed to come from Bt and was explaining an upgrade in the cables. When I realised a salesman told him I would not buy on the doorstep. He said he wasn't selling but merely introducing to BT (whatever that means). A blatant lie as he then went on to say that he could get a much better deal on broadband than through the BT website.. again I suspect a lie. Ended up shutting door in his face as he was not prepared to go when I said I was not interested.”
“Couldn't give a shyte . Only concern is Randoms trying steal copper at which point I have "legal" right to put a nail through there knees other than that couldn't give shyte .don't knock here again”
“We are in a NO COLD CALLINCPHG area yet the chap still knocked the door. Said he was from BT about broadband fibre. Told him I would report him to the council.”
“Cold-called. Outright lied and said that our internet access via copper telephone wire was going to end soon, and that FTTP was the only possible way to preserve an internet connection at my property. Obvious nonsense.”
“Door to door salespeople pressured an old, vulnerable and not very computer-literate neighbour into signing up for BT broadband by scaring her with tales of ending access to the internet if she didn't get FTTP immediately. Although she claimed she'd repeatedly asked them to send details to her in writing somehow they signed her up. Had to spend three quarters of an hour cancelling her order for her. Avoid these scammers.”
“The cold calling by Money Expert continues 'we are calling on behalf of BT. BT have written to you about the changes to the phone line (waves at telephone wire).
I asked for the badge details and rang the number which connects to yet another company (who could be anybody).
Nice enough young people but with a script that is simply a pack of lies.”
“Evasive door to door sellers who appeared to be looking to make commission on BT broadband sales. Had to repeat a number of times we don't buy anything at the door.
It's quite obvious they're looking for vulnerable targets to make their commission. The gutter end of the cold calling world.”
“Like the previous correspondent, I have a No Cold Callers sign. Just had 2 young men - Chris and Ryan - who disregarded the sign and knocked anyway. When I pointed out the sign to them, Chris said that he had been looking at his phone and hadn't seen it. I reinforced to them that ignoring the sign meant that I would be reporting it. Please ensure that cold Caller training includes being aware of the requirements of the signs.”
“Have sign on door asking for no cold callers, sales people, or religious or political canvassers. I'm disabled. Someone came to my door in a hi vis with BT on back. I went to window to say no. I had to repeat 3 times. Contacted BT. And BT have said they don't send people to doors, it's a 3rd party and usually Money Expert. Stop knocking if there is a sign on door. It's illegal to not read it. I have the sign fora reason, I'm physically disabled and don't want to be disturbed and hurts to keep getting up. I only answer my door to people I'm expecting and parcels.”
“Such a waste of time made a energy enquiry and they trying to sell me broadband. like wat the hell really why would you try selling me broadband when i made a energy enquiry. Its a scam dont make any energy enquires beacuse the fact is they have no energy to sell.”
“Doorstep callers going around lying that broadband lines have been upgraded in the area when they haven't and that you should have received a letter. Clever scam to try and fraudulently solicit business”
“cold callers visiting repeatedly - and even calling themselves moneysavingexpert to capitalise on an association with the famous Martin Lewis service. These cold callers are not offering a comparison service, they are selling whatever company is giving the most commission at the time and this changes every few months. They knock on vulnerable people in my street and try to upsell to expensive contracts unnecessarily. A lot of older people need the minimum speeds and don't need to spend £30 a month on internet.”
“This guy came twice in one day.
Told him I’m not interested and he had the cheek to keep talking over me.
Asked him to leave my property.
Earlier in the day he was harassing my vulnerable partner.
These fools don’t take no for an answer.
Next time he comes I’ll call the police for harassment.
I have had to provide my email for this review to get through.
Under no circumstances do I want any correspondence from your company ever.
Location was LS5 area of Leeds.”
“Ignored sign on door for no cold callers
Asking questions to my daughter about who was home, then asked me about if my husband was still home or had left
Very pushy still kept talking offering services when I’d told him not interested
Liam from money expert talk talk if that’s who you’re really from ..STOP doing what you’re doing!”
