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 yearsIt's been brought to my attention that my IP address has been transmitting errors to TalkTalk for several days now. A rather persistent caller reached out, offering assistance with altering my IP. I assured her that I was more than capable of tackling it solo, but she insisted that I required assistance. I reiterated that if I wanted help, I could manage it perfectly well. After that, the call abruptly ended. Today's tally stands at four intrusive calls from this con artist, and despite my firm requests for them to leave me be, they continue to hound me relentlessly. - caller: TalkTalk ScamTalkTalk11 yearsScammers posing as Talktalk, no doubt!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 yearsGreetings, it's Hamil here! I seem to have stumbled upon a bit of a predicament that I reckon I could assist you with. It revolves around someone misusing your IP address. I mentioned to him that since I got a new router, this issue has been incessantly rearing its ugly head, and I’m in dire need of a replacement box. To my dismay, he informed me it would set me back £100! Naturally, I responded, ‘Not on your nelly! You provided defective equipment, so it’s on you to sort it!’ And just like that, the call dropped - I genuinely thought he was going to lend a hand! Now, all I can do is sit tight and hope for a prompt response from TalkTalk!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 yearsImagine you're receiving a call from someone claiming to be from TalkTalk. They might say something along the lines of: "Good day! This is Steve from TalkTalk's technical support team. I hope you’re keeping well. We're currently conducting a routine check on our customers' accounts due to a few unusual activities we’ve noticed. If you wouldn’t mind following my simple instructions, we can ensure your system remains fully secure. I’ll need to access your computer momentarily to help sort this out. It’ll only take a few minutes, I assure you!" Always be cautious if someone asks you for access to your computer, especially when they reach out to you unexpectedly.TalkTalkSteve11 yearsIt appears there are some fraudulent individuals posing as Talktalk representatives, attempting to gain access to your computer systems.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)
