4 yearsBeware of TalkTalk broadband scams!TalkTalk5 yearsI got a call where the person asked for a name that was completely unfamiliar to me. When I said I didn’t know them, the caller just stayed quiet and didn’t hang up, even after I kept saying “hello?” Eventually, I just ended the call. It’s odd because I’ve had a few calls like this before from different numbers, always asking for some random name I’ve never come across. Seems like they can’t even keep their details straight. Honestly, sounds like some pretty rubbish scammers to me.5 yearsPretty sure this is one of those TalTalk internet cons.TalTalk5 yearswasnt sure who it was so i answered but hung up straight away, didnt say a word or nothing5 yearsKept ringing till i picked up then shut off.

Then, an operator with an accent, possibly Indian or Asian, came on the line and requested my name. It was evident he was working from home. When I told him I recognised it as a scam, he promptly cut the call. Curious, I rang the number back and was greeted by another automated message stating, "You’ve been contacted regarding marketing.
