I've been receiving numerous calls from this number. It's quite frustrating, as every time I express my dissatisfaction, they just cut off the line. My number is 01279726007. Any advice on how I can put a stop to these annoying calls?

Even though I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list, I just received a call from this number. As soon as my answering machine activated, the caller hung up.

I had a call from this number claiming to be Tall Talk, insisting they’d found an issue with my router. They offered to send a replacement, but first, they wanted to tweak my computer settings! This marks the second time in just four days I've received such a call. Luckily, I had the sense to hang up straight away!

Got a call where not a word was said, just silence on the other end. Bit strange!

A bit earlier, I got a call from someone pretending to be a BT engineer. They said they knew I was having issues with a slow internet router and offered to send me a replacement along with a £20 discount. They wanted to check the router I had now to figure out the exact problem. I just cut them off and said, don’t bother, I know exactly what’s wrong - it’s still unopened in the box! I told them I’ve never even been with BT and suggested they try tricking someone else who might fall for it. Then the call just ended abruptly.

they claimed to be from talktalk, but i didn’t trust them so i just blocked their number. tried looking up how to stop these calls from talktalk but no luck yet.

I received a call purporting to be from TalkTalk’s technical team, claiming there were issues with my broadband connection. I suspect it’s a dodgy scam, likely a reverse charge call. Best to steer clear, in my opinion!

I received a phone call purporting to be from the technical support team of Talk Talk regarding my broadband service. Interestingly, this same number reached out to me not too long ago. I'm quite convinced this is a scam, possibly linked to some money laundering activities. Be cautious!

As someone who operates within the fraud prevention team at a major bank, I can confirm that this is a classic case of Vishing. During the conversation, the scammer will eventually attempt to persuade you to download a program known as Teamviewer onto your computer, enabling them to gain remote access via a code they instruct you to provide. Once they have control of your device, they will initiate a so-called 'scan' and claim that your computer is riddled with malware that must be swiftly eradicated. Often, they’ll instruct you to turn off your screen and refrain from powering it back on for several hours, suggesting this is necessary for their 'repairs' to work effectively. Subsequently, the fraudster will inform you that you qualify for compensation from Talk Talk, as they allegedly provided a defective router that has led to your computer’s infection. They will then request that you insert your bank card into the card reader linked to your online banking in order to approve this fictitious payment from Talk Talk. This entire scenario is merely a tactic to infiltrate your online banking. The scammer typically needs multiple sets of verification codes: one for accessing your bank account and another for initiating a fraudulent transaction or payment. After you've provided the first set of codes, they'll often ask you to repeat the process, stating that the previous ones were somehow invalid. It's notable that the majority of those targeted are often older individuals, which makes them particularly vulnerable. Always bear in mind: never disclose your card reader codes to anyone over the phone-even if they assert they're from your bank. Your bank will never request such sensitive information. - Caller: 01293883540

It was some kind of call centre, but I cut it off as soon as I got the usual quiet on the line, then that typical call centre background noise. From past experience, it’s probably one of those endless “quick surveys” that never actually are quick, and then a few days later you get bombarded with calls pushing stuff related to the survey - could be PPI claims, pension advice, accident claims, basically anything to make a quick buck. Managed to block the number using TalkTalk’s free call blocking tool, so that’s that sorted!

This number rang me, saying they were from TalkTalk and there was an issue with my router. They wanted me to jump on my laptop right away so they could give me a £30 refund. When I asked if they could ring back later so my partner could have a chat, they said they don’t do calls in the evening. I wasn’t happy with how they were speaking, so I just ended the call.

It was clearly a sales call, as my partner informed the woman on the other end that we're registered with the telephone preference service. To that, she snarled, “Oh, do you really think we’re bloody idiots? Just bugger off!" Never had the chance to find out what she wanted to sell or how she planned to con us-just a rude, foul-mouthed individual lacking any basic courtesy. It’s beyond me how these types manage to operate without consequence!

I got called by a number that just stayed silent when I answered. From what others have said, the caller might pretend to work for TalkTalk. They’re using loads of different numbers though, which is really annoying. FYI, TalkTalk admitted some of their customer info got hacked recently. That explains why these scammers seem legit, with your name and address ready to go. Best to steer clear of these calls completely!

They keep ringing me up pretending to be Talk Talk, its really getting on my nerves.

A person rang me claiming they were from Talktalk, but I've got my doubts about that!

So this woman calls me four times, right? Then starts going on about me needing a new router and even tells me to unplug mine first! I told her to get lost and that I was recording the call. She just snaps back, "shut up you silly lady." To top it off, she said she’s calling from London but the number’s actually from Crawley! What a complete load of rubbish!

Got a call from this number today, Tuesday 8th Sept 2015. (By the way, my provider is TalkTalk too???) I didn’t pick up, but while it was still ringing, I quickly checked online and read the reviews here, then decided to ignore it. I switched off my answerphone quite a while ago. I hardly ever use my landline, so I’m pretty sure 99% of these calls are scams.

got a call from some indian bloke who started with, ‘hello, how’s your day?’. i told him straight up, ‘i’m well fed up with random calls like this’ and just hung up. not holding my breath that they'll stop calling though.

Got a call earlier with no one on the line, just silence. Quite weird and a bit annoying!
