2 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be from my bank, saying there was an issue with my Visa card. Felt off right away, seemed like a typical scam trying to get my details. Luckily, I didn't give them any info. Watch out, folks!2 yearsSome guy rang me claiming he was from BT Openreach, saying there was a fault on my line and that others were supposedly using my internet. I told him I wasn’t having any issues at all, but then he said they'd cut off my service right away. I just hung up after that.BT Openreach3 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said he was with TalkTalk, said they were sorting out a new router for me. He already knew my name and where I live, which made me a bit on edge. Then he got all weird and started asking for my bank info, threatening to cut off my broadband if I didn’t give it. I just hung up and put the number on silent. Later on, the same number rang me again. Total pain.TalkTalk3 yearsSome bloke rang claiming to be from TalkTalk saying they needed to swap out my router. I got suspicious when he asked me to install some remote access thingy, so I just said no thanks. Then he threatened to disconnect my internet and just straight up ended the call. Bloody cheeky if you ask me.TalkTalk3 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said he was from Talk Talk and that he was nearby. He said I needed to upgrade my router to get fibre, then warned my computer would stop working tomorrow. He told me he couldn’t call back ‘cause he was too busy, then just hung up. Since then, I’ve had loads of voicemail messages off him.3 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from TalkTalk saying our internet was getting an upgrade so faster fibre was available. Thing is, we live too far from the exchange so can’t get that speed. I didn’t really believe what he said and was in a hurry, so just told him no thanks. He phoned again the next day but I wasn’t at home, so just left an answerphone and all I got back was a bit of a sigh and a grunt. I checked this number on your site and glad I did as it gave me more info. The caller was actually quite polite and didn’t pressure me at all on that first call.TalkTalk3 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be from TalkTalk, said they wanted to send me a new router or something.TalkTalk3 yearsThis guy called claiming he was from Talk Talk, but I told him I’m actually with Sky. He kept going on like I was a Talk Talk customer. Then he started talking about an upgrade, but I just told him again I’m not with Talk Talk because their service is rubbish. Definitely wasn’t interested in whatever dodgy offer he was trying to push.Sky3 yearsI received a call from a chap with an Asian accent who identified himself as being from Talk Talk. He insisted that there was an issue with our router, which struck me as rather odd since we don’t even use a Talk Talk router in the first place.3 yearsOn Saturday 29th July, I got a call from this number. The person said they were from TalkTalk asking about our router, but something felt off. I had a feeling it was a scam, so I just ended the call straight away.TalkTalk3 yearsGot a call from a guy who claimed he was with TalkTalk, something about my router not functioning right. It sounded a bit dodgy to me.TalkTalk3 yearsI got a call from this number claiming to be from Bristol. The bloke said he was calling on behalf of Airband, which, coincidentally, is actually my provider. He told me they were sending out new routers for free because of some service interruptions and slower speeds than promised. Said I’d get it through Royal Mail next week. He asked me to test my internet speed, and I already had, which seemed to throw him off a bit. Then he wanted me to switch on my laptop and PC so they could “check compatibility” and even claimed they’d log in remotely to test my download speed. I’m in my seventies but not daft. I just told him thanks, but no thanks, and ended the call.BristolAirbandRoyal Mail3 yearsJust like everyone else is sayin, this aint no TalkTalk call. It’s a scam tryin to steal your cash. If this number rings you, best thing to do is hang up right away and report it as a fraud. Don’t get tricked!TalkTalk3 yearsSomeone rang claiming to be from TalkTalk about my broadband. Problem is, I'm not a TalkTalk customer anymore. Then they started talking about Openreach. When I asked a bit more, the call just dropped on their end.TalkTalkOpenreach3 yearsGot a call supposedly from TalkTalk, mentioned something about switching my line to fibre and sending out a new router. Then they said they needed to test my current router's speed before that. I just told the person to send me the details by post and ended the call.TalkTalk3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with TalkTalk. They said they were switching my connection over to fibre optic and were going to send me a new router. Then they asked me to run a speed test using Ookla to check the line. The first test showed a really slow speed, so I ran another one without telling them and it came back with a much faster result. After that, they told me to download an app called Awesun. I quickly looked it up while they were speaking, and it said the app lets someone remotely control your Android device from another computer or phone, including transferring files and changing settings. I asked, “So you want me to install something that lets you take over my computer?” and the answer was “Yes.” That’s when I told them, “No way, thanks. Goodbye.”TalkTalk3 yearsSome bloke rang claiming to be from TalkTalk, saying we were getting upgraded to full fibre. He said we'd have to get two Amazon gift cards worth £100 each for the engineers and they’d sort out a refund by transferring the cash back to my bank. All he wanted was my bank info. I messaged with him for a good 20 minutes, then just said I didn’t even have internet. He sounded a bit annoyed, but honestly I found it quite funny.TalkTalkAmazonSubmit Your Own Report (0117 318 5255)
