GB News: HANG UP! Scam calls about landline switch-off plague Britons ahead of BT deadline to move to broadband phones
Fraudsters are impersonating BT engineers to scam Britons concerned about the transition from traditional copper phone lines to broadband-powered landlines. Victims report receiving calls demanding payment details under threat of disconnection, despite BT confirming no payment is required for the switch.
The UK-wide landline switch-off, originally set for January 2025, has been postponed to early 2027 due to various issues. BT advises customers to hang up on suspicious calls and verify with official channels. Reporting such scams to Action Fraud is recommended.
