Reports on phone number 01617854021
10 yearsLike the others mentioned, I got a call from this number on 14/2/17.10 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying there was some issue with the router and we needed to switch the computer on. My husband picked up and told him he doesn’t use a computer, but the bloke kept pushing for it. Eventually, my husband told him to ring back later, but the call never came. Pretty sure it was a scammer pretending to be from TalkTalk.Talktalk10 yearsGot a ring on my phone from 01617854021 claiming to be from TalkTalk. The person on the other end said my internet was being accessed by strangers and asked me to have my laptop ready so they could help fix it. I suspected it was dodgy straight away, so I played along but didn't actually do anything. After a bit, they seemed to catch on that I wasn’t falling for it and just hung up suddenly.TalkTalkBroadband10 yearsGot a call from 016617854021, said it was TalkTalk. It was the second time they rang. The bloke had a strong Asian accent and somehow knew my name, address, and account number already. He kept asking if I was by my computer and if it was switched on - the usual line. I got a bad feeling and told him I thought it was dodgy, but he kept saying it was legit. Then I said my phone wasn’t anywhere near my PC and I didn’t have anything to write with. After that, he just gave up and hung up.TalkTalk10 yearsJust got a call from this number not long ago, like others have said, they claimed to be from Talk Talk saying there was a problem with my internet router. I asked the lady for her full name and the line went dead straight away. I’ve flagged it up to Talk Talk and they promised to look into this and stop this number from bothering their customers. Fingers crossed they sort it out.Talk Talk10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me all the time, day and night. Tried blockin’ it, but it still manages to get through when I try callin’ back. Really frustatin’!10 yearsGot a call on Tuesday from someone claiming to be TalkTalk, total scam obviously. They said my router lights were blinking, trying to sound all official, but let’s be honest, they’re always on. The caller was an Asian guy named Sam or something.TalkTalkSam10 yearsGot a call early this morning around half past seven but they didn’t leave any voicemail.10 yearsIm with TalkTalk and honestly sick of those annoying calls first thing in the morning, especially when I'm not even working!TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call early today around 8:40am. Could barely make out some talking in the back. Ended up hanging up and then blocked the caller straight away.10 yearsA bloke rang up saying he was from TalkTalk, claiming my router had a problem. Told him I was busy and would ring TalkTalk myself later. As soon as I said that, he just ended the call. Total scam, watch out!TalkTalk10 yearsSome woman with an Asian accent called saying she was from Talk Talk while I was on my computer. When I asked questions she just told me to F off. Quite rude!TalkTalk10 yearsSo I got a call from that number on 13.02, and I said I worked as an engineer for Talk Talk. Turns out, they weren’t genuine at all, ended up just hanging up on me.TalkTalk10 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier today. The bloke claimed to be with TalkTalk, saying my internet was acting up and disconnecting. Curiously, he addressed me by my last name. You could hear loads of background noise, like a busy call centre. Honestly, it seemed more like a recorded message. I told him I was hanging up and would contact TalkTalk directly. Feels like a proper scam to me.TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call today from a guy claiming to be with Talk Talk about my internet. I told him straight away I wasn’t interested and guessed it was a scam. Usually they just hang up right after that, but this time he actually argued with me. Checked 1471 and it showed the number he called from, which is unusual because normally there’s no number displayed to block. Honestly, these dodgy calls are driving me mad - you’d think Talk Talk would have some way to stop this by now.TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call a while ago but I didn't pick up after it rang about 17 times, so they just hung up. I'm guessing it was one of those TalkTalk scams again, as usual. I don't even have TalkTalk anymore, so legit calls from them would be pretty unlikely.TalkTalk10 yearsHe claimed to be with TalkTalk, but I wasn't convinced and just ended the call.Talktalk10 yearsGot a call again from the same bloke with an Asian accent around 11:45, saying he's from Talk Talk. This is the third time these dodgy scammers have bothered me. We have their phone number, so why aren't the cops doing anything about it?10 yearsGot a call from someone called 'Timmy' saying he was with TalkTalk, but it was obvious he wasn’t. When I asked him to prove it, he just kept making stuff up. The moment I stopped giving my number and asked for anything else, he shut down. This number’s from Manchester - don’t they know this kind of thing is against the law?TimmyTalkTalkManchester10 yearsI got a call earlier today from some bloke with an Asian accent, saying it was about my Talk Talk internet. When I said it sounded like a scam, he started saying he loved me and bragged about some big d**k or somethin’. Told him off proper and ended the call. Then that same number rang back like five minutes later, so I just picked up, shouted "Leave Me Alone" and put the phone down. Haven’t heard from them since.10 yearsMy internet’s been horribly slow lately, but luckily I still managed to spot another scam call right away. Honestly, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been told the same rubbish story.10 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from TalkTalk, asking a bunch of questions. I just said yes to everything, then told them they'd reached a premium rate number and I was charging £5 per minute. They kept trying to say I was tricking them, but I said go ahead, you’re being charged £5 a minute. After that, they got rude and I called them a nasty name, they hung up straight away. Honestly, TalkTalk should do something about this. They block one number and the scammers just switch to another. Surely the phone companies can step in and sort this out.TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from TalkTalk, but I’m not convinced. He said his name was Mike and was on a 0161 number. He told me there was some kind of error with my internet and somehow knew my full name and address. I played along a bit to see where he was going with it. When I said I’d ring TalkTalk directly to check the story, the line suddenly just cut off! Pretty sure that was a scam.TalkTalkMike10 yearsGot a bloke on the phone twice today saying he was John from TalkTalk. Kept pushing me to power up my computer and all that. He sounded like he might be Indian or Pakistani, with typical call centre noise in the background. Really persistent!JohnTalkTalk10 yearsGot another call from some scammer trying to do a phone scam from a developing country, this time from 01617854021. Total rubbish.10 yearsThese so-called TalkTalk scammers are daft as bricks. They keep ringing me up time and again, and for months now too. I’ve been blasting them with sounds from adult websites to put them off, but it’s no good - they just keep phoning back like nothing happened! Hilarious, really.10 yearsGot a call today from a guy with a foreign accent warning me that someone’s hacking my PC. Hang up straight away! They apparently rang me yesterday as well.10 yearsGot a call from some bloke abroad today saying my computer was being hacked or summat. Told him to stuff it and hung up. They apparently tried ringing me yesterday as well.10 yearsGot a call first thing in the morning, didn't pick up. If I figure out who it was, they're gonna regret it.10 yearsGot a phone call earlier today from this number. The guy said his name was Peter Jones and that he worked for Talk Talk. He sounded Asian. He told me his number was 01518080773 but when I checked 1471, the number that showed up was 01617854021!Peter Jones10 yearsHad a call from some muppet at 7:40 this morning, saying he was from TalkTalk. Honestly, these jokers are just as bad as those PPI scam callers used to be! Told him straight up to jog on because I could tell it was a total con!TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call earlier today at about 9 am from 01617854021, but no message was left. The caller hung up as soon as my answering machine picked up. Nowadays I don't bother answering calls from numbers I don't know unless they leave a voicemail first.10 yearsThis morning at 8, I got a call from someone who said they were with TalkTalk saying there was a problem with our internet. I told him everything was fine, then he just ended the call. Looked up the number afterwards, found these comments and decided to block it!TalkTalk10 yearsGot a phone call at 7:25 this morning from someone claiming to be with TalkTalk. I’m pretty skeptical though since I’ve had loads of calls lately from call centres that sound Asian. Definitely seems fishy to me.TalkTalkAsia10 yearsI got a call about 7:10 in the morning from someone with an asian accent claiming to be representing TalkTalk.TalkTalk10 yearsSaturday morning between 9:15 and 9:55, I got 4 calls from the same number. The person on the line had an Asian accent and said there was some issue with my TalkTalk service. But honestly, everything seems perfectly fine on my end.10 yearsGot a call at about 9 this morning, the number showed it was from India. The person said they were from TalkTalk, but I didn’t trust it at all and blocked the number straight away. It’s not just this one either; I’ve had loads of calls from different numbers like this.IndiaTalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with a really thick accent, said she was from TalkTalk and that my internet was having issues. I asked her how she could even sleep at night trying to scam folks like that. She's definitely on my blocked list now.TalkTalk10 yearsGot another call from a so-called TalkTalk support, going on about that "windows key plus r" trick as usual. I just hum along pretending to be interested, then chuck them on hold forever. What’s odd is they make a habit of ringing back again and again. Don’t pay attention to the fake area code they use - there’s no Manchester in India, that’s for sure!TalkTalkManchesterIndia10 yearsGot a call from this number really early, no voicemail left or anything.
