Phone number ☎️ 01494511879 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam operation posing as TalkTalk representatives, contacting individuals to claim there are internet or security issues linked to their IP address. Callers often insist on gaining remote access to users' computers, aiming to exploit them financially or steal information. They can be demanding, hang up abruptly when challenged, or respond abusively - sometimes targeting family members by name. Many find these calls distressing and intrusive, particularly worrying for vulnerable or elderly recipients. The scammers frequently use threatening or inappropriate language and evade requests for verification. Users are advised not to engage, to block the number, and report suspicious calls. Genuine TalkTalk representatives will never pressure for remote access or refuse identity confirmation.
Reports on phone number 01494511879
11 yearsReceived a rather dubious call from someone purporting to be from TalkTalk, claiming they needed to access my computer to sort out some internet issues. When I started to probe for more details, they abruptly cut the line. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!TalkTalk11 yearsI've stopped taking calls from this number altogether. It's just not worth the hassle anymore!11 yearsFor the past few days, looks like my IP address has been throwing some kind of errors to TT. I got a call from someone saying they'd assist me in changing my IP address. I told her I was capable of doing it on my own, but she insisted I needed her help. I told her again I could manage fine by myself, and then the call abruptly ended. Today alone, I’ve had four calls from this scam trying the same thing. Every time, I tell them to stop calling, but they just won’t quit. - caller: TalkTalk ScamTalkTalk11 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be from TalkTalk. Total scam! Watch out, folks.Talktalk11 yearsHonestly, I seem to be inundated with calls from those TalkTalk chaps who are clearly trying to pull a fast one. It happens at least thrice daily, and they always seem to ring from different numbers. The most recent call came from this number, and the fellow, rather presumptuously, asked for my daughter by her name. When I told him he’d got the wrong person, he launched into the usual spiel about someone supposedly trying to access my computer without permission. Upon mentioning that I’m no longer a customer of theirs-which, I’ll admit, is a bit of a fib-he turned downright rude, throwing out all sorts of unsavoury names that I wouldn’t even want to repeat. It’s really quite alarming; someone ought to intervene here, because if that sort of behaviour was directed at an older individual, they could be thoroughly distressed. It’s thoroughly disgraceful!TalkTalk11 yearsToday, a chap from Pakistan gave my daughter a bell, asking for me by name. She informed him that I was at work and wondered if she could assist him instead. The next thing out of his mouth was rather distasteful. He said he wanted to "please her and have his way with her in the shower." Thankfully, my daughter has a brilliant sense of humour and just burst out laughing at him. He then asked what was so funny, to which she replied, “You, mate, I think not!” He carried on by claiming he was some sort of ex-boyfriend of mine. I've been happily married to my husband since I was just 15, so that's quite a stretch - perhaps I met him in primary school, who knows? In the end, my daughter swiftly ended the call. In all seriousness, this isn’t something to be taken lightly, especially for those living alone. It’s truly appalling and needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, my father received a similar call a few months back as well.Pakistan11 yearsI've had a similar encounter with this TalkTalk con as well. Interestingly, every time I tell them to hold on for a moment while I get my recorder ready, they promptly abandon the call! Quite the coincidence, I must say!11 yearsYet another scammer from TalkTalk, just as before.TalkTalk11 yearsI’ve encountered yet another number linked to Talk-Scam-Talk. Give 14258 a bell, and don’t forget to press * * afterwards to cut them off!11 yearsSimilar situation, pretending to be Talktalk. They even had my name on file.Talktalk11 yearsI received a call from this number yesterday, and they've tried reaching me again today. The person on the line claimed to be from TalkTalk, asserting that my Internet connection was sending out alerts about numerous viruses that required immediate attention. She then insisted I log into my computer and adhere to her guidance. When I mentioned that I hadn’t noticed any issues with my connection, and that I would reach out to customer services if there was a problem, she became rather irate!TalkTalk11 yearsIt was a chap named Danny from TalkTalk who rang me, but I decided to hang up the phone.DannyTalkTalk11 yearsHi, this is Hamil. Seems like someone’s been messing around with my IP address. I explained that since I got a new router, this issue keeps happening non-stop, so I reckon I need a replacement box. The guy tells me that’ll be £100! I wasn’t having it, told him it’s their fault since they gave me dodgy kit, so they should sort it out. Then, bang - the call just got cut off. Was really hoping for some help there! Guess I’ll just hang tight and see if TalkTalk rings me back.11 yearsToday, I received a call from a woman named 'Jenny' claiming to be from TalkTalk, wanting to chat about my internet service. Given that I had a dodgy encounter with scammers about two months back, I decided to hang up straightaway. Better safe than sorry, I suppose! CatrionaJennyTalkTalkCatriona11 yearsthis number rang me a couple times lately, always asking for my oldest daughter by her name. since she’s never actually lived here, i got suspicious straight away. the line sounded pretty poor, and the person had an asian accent. whenever i requested to talk to a manager or supervisor, the call was cut off right away. now ive added the number to my call barring list and blocked unknown callers too, but somehow they keep finding ways around it.11 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from TalkTalk, alleging there was an issue with the security of my IP address. When I requested a number to confirm their identity, they provided one and promptly disconnected. Upon investigation, it turned out the number was non-existent. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!TalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were from TalkTalk, but when they couldn’t give me the security password I realised it was dodgy and ended the call straight away. I’ve blocked the number now just to be safe.TalkTalk11 yearsI'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.11 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be TalkTalk support. They said they needed me to let them access my computer to fix an issue. Felt off and thankfully didn’t go along with it. Be careful folks, sounds like a classic scam trying to get into your system!TalkTalkSteve11 yearsBeware of people claiming to be from TalkTalk who try to get into your computer.Talktalk11 yearsI got a call from this number the other day, with someone purporting to be from TalkTalk. They claimed there had been some dubious activity linked to my IP address and urged me to log into my computer. Remarkably, they knew my name and had a rather persuasive tone. I asked them to put the request in writing, to which they insisted they'd already done so-definitely not true. I declined their demands and terminated the call. When I rang the number back, the same individual answered with just a "hello"-no mention of a company or anything proper. It's clear to me that this is a classic hacking scam!TalkTalkSubmit Your Own Report (01494 511879)
