9 yearsI’ve received five calls over the past three days, each one sounding like it’s coming from a call centre with a fair bit of background chatter. At times, there’s complete silence on the line, and at others, they claim to be representing TalkTalk. Quite baffling, to say the least!TalkTalk9 yearsgot a call early this morning around 8.25, a woman with an asian accent called herself ‘mary’ and said she was from talk talk. she mentioned there was an issue with my router that had been going on for weeks. i told her i hadn’t seen any problems but she kept going on about slow speeds and stuff. i stopped being a talk talk customer ages ago after some hacking drama, but thought i’d mess around with her. after pretending to agree for a bit she just hung up on me.MaryTalkTalk9 yearsrang and just hung up, no response at all9 yearsGot a call from someone named Shaun at TalkTalk, sounded like he was Asian. I told him “cheers for ringing back,” which threw him off for a moment. I followed up with a “ta for sorting my internet out,” but he quickly claimed I was lying since he could tell my internet wasn’t working. We went back and forth like that for a bit until he got annoyed and hung up. When I feel like it, I’ll mess around with them since they waste my time anyway. I’ve blocked the number now cause have had loads of silent calls recently. Not sure if it’ll make a difference though.ShaunTalkTalk9 yearsThere was a whole lot of noise in the background, but no one actually said anything.9 yearsI've had loads of calls from this number for years now, always the same thing - nobody ever answers when I pick up. Feels like they're spoofing the number or something. Plus, I've had quite a few calls from 0207 numbers too, and it's always the same outcome. I'm pretty sure it's one of those old TalkTalk scams messing about again.9 yearsI've received calls from this number four times today alone. Each time, there's a lot of background chatter, as if I’m in an office, and then it just cuts off. It’s clearly a scam linked to TalkTalk. They're using a random number that seems harmless to try and dupe us through the phone line. Quite cheeky if you ask me! 😒TalkTalk9 yearsGot calls 4 times today with background noise from an office and then they hang up. It’s that TalkTalk scam again, using some random number to show up on caller ID. Total nuisance!TalkTalk9 yearsI had a call come through just before half-past nine this morning. When I picked up, there was absolute silence on the other end, followed by the abrupt remark, "goodbye." Quite peculiar, really!9 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier claiming to be from TalkTalk's tech support. The woman said my router had some kind of error download and offered to walk me through fixing it. She kept asking about the lights on my router, like how many were lit or blinking. I just told her I wasn’t interested and didn’t want to fall for any scam. She ended the call after that.TalkTalk9 yearsSomebody’s been ringing me at like 8 in the morning, really annoying! Anyone know how to block these dodgy scam calls?9 yearsThis number has been spoofed - someone’s using my mum’s landline as a fake caller ID. Please don’t ring it back because it’s causing loads of calls to come through to our phone. We’re really sorry about the trouble, we have no idea how this happened but are in touch with our provider to sort it out.9 yearsGot a call this morning, 12th Jan 2018, from a woman with a strong Asian accent claiming to be from TalkTalk. She told me my PC was at risk because of some weird internet searches. Tried to call me by my name but got it completely wrong. When I asked her for more info, she said it was too complicated but if I turned on my computer, she’d demonstrate the issue. Pretty obvious it wasn’t really TalkTalk, so I wasn’t about to give her access. I managed to calm her down a bit. Eventually, she sighed and hung up.TalkTalk9 yearsSomeone's using my home phone number for a scam, and I've already told the police about it.9 yearsas soon as i picked up they just hung up on me9 yearsCalled me today, had that usual office chatter in the background but then just hung up on me. Number was 27. Strange!9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be TalkTalk's tech support trying to get into my computer. I’m actually with BT, but the person insisted they partner with BT. Checked with BT later and they said it was definitely a scam.TalkTalkBTSubmit Your Own Report (01492 517796)
