01293883540 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01293883540 👆 is reported as a persistent scam caller posing as TalkTalk support, attempting to deceive recipients into granting remote access to their computers by claiming faults with routers or internet service. Callers often use UK numbers misleadingly linked to local areas and may possess some personal data, heightening the illusion of legitimacy. They try to install software like TeamViewer to control PCs, then pressure victims, often older adults, into authorising fraudulent banking transactions under false compensation pretences. The calls are frequently aggressive or abusive if challenged, and they disregard telephone preference service registrations. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, avoid following instructions to alter computer settings, refuse to share bank details, and verify any concerns directly with their service provider using independently sourced contact information.

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!

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.

I just got a call from them! Ever since I switched to TalkTalk, it’s been nothing but scam calls non-stop. Honestly, do yourself a favour and ditch TalkTalk for good. They’re a bunch of dishonest muppets who can’t keep your info safe at all. Seriously, don’t even think about buying anything from TalkTalk. It might seem cheaper, but their service and customer help is rubbish. Please pass this on to everyone you know!

Spoke to TalkTalk about this and turns out it's a total scam. They're just trying to get you to hand over your personal info. Best thing is either don't pick up at all or just tell them you know it's dodgy and you'll be reporting them.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from TalkTalk tech support. They said my router had a security issue and tried to trick me into downloading some software. It didn’t feel right, so I ended the call and rang TalkTalk myself to confirm. Turns out, the call wasn’t genuine. Sounds like one of those nasty phishing scams to me.

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!

So my partner picked up this call from a woman and told her we’re on the no-call list, right? Well, she just snapped back with “Oh yeah, are you daft? F##K off!” Didn’t even get a chance to hear what she was trying to peddle or how she planned to scam us. Just downright rude and swearing like crazy - really shows a lack of manners or common sense. It’s mad how calls like this still come through without any consequences!

Got a call from some scammer today, tried to trick me into giving remote access to my computer. They were really rude to my kids earlier when I wasn't around. I'm certain it's a scam, and they might end up having full control over all your personal info. Be careful, folks!

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!

So, I got a call from a woman claiming to be with TalkTalk, saying there was an issue with my router. How she knew that, I have no idea. Her voice was really quiet, sounded maybe Indian. I tried putting the phone on speaker but still couldn’t catch what she was saying, so I just hung up. I figured if it really was TalkTalk, they'd ring me again in a bit, but nope, no call back. Then I rang TalkTalk myself to check and asked if they'd called me. They said no, that number wasn’t even theirs. Definitely a dodgy scam, watch out!

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.

This number rang me claiming to be from TalkTalk. There was a man with an Indian accent who said my router was having issues and told me to switch on my PC. When I asked how he knew there was a problem, he said the router sent them an alert. He then started guiding me through some troubleshooting on my laptop. After a couple of steps, I told him it sounded like a scam, shut my laptop, and he immediately ended the call.

Got these calls popping up all day, 4 of ’em already and it’s not even midday! Every single one says my network provider’s TalkTalk. Can’t help but think it’s some sort of scam running around.
