Phone number ☎️ 01617994996 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to aggressive scam calls claiming to be from TalkTalk or other UK providers. Callers often use threatening tactics about internet disconnection, demand payment, or push for remote access, frequently with poor English and rude behaviour. Some victims note the scammers have private information despite ex-directory status, suggesting data breaches. Several callers handle calls badly when challenged or asked for specifics, often hanging up. There’s frustration about lack of government action and concern for vulnerable people falling prey. Users generally find the calls confrontational, suspicious, and originating from overseas, especially India, with a common tactic of pretending to be technical support or engineers. Blocking and ignoring are common responses shared.

10 yearsGot a call from some bloke named James, said he was from India or something. He was proper rude, threatening to disconnect my internet in like an hour if I didn’t put on my laptop to sort it out. Bit cheeky if you ask me.James10 yearsGot a ring a bit ago from someone claiming to be with TalkTalk, looking for a “Miss Singleton”. Said my internet was gonna be disconnected today unless I coughed up £149.99. I just messed about with him, wasting his time, till I told him he had the wrong name, wrong company, and I don’t even have internet. Then he finally hung up.TalkTalkMiss Singleton10 yearsTypical sneaky scammers with that distinct Asian accent trying to break into your PC and pinch your personal details and cash. It’s frustrating that the authorities or the government where these calls come from seem totally uninterested in sorting this out. The best thing we can do is stop dealing with any firm that outsources their call centres abroad and stick strictly to British companies with UK-based customer service and workers. This supports our economy and helps create jobs here at home. Since I switched all my services to purely UK-based businesses, I haven’t had a single issue!10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from TalkTalk, but it was obviously a scam. The person was really cheeky and rude. What freaked me out was that they knew my address, even though I’m ex-directory. Pretty sure they got my details from that TalkTalk data breach.TalkTalk10 yearsReceived a dodgy call from someone claiming to be an engineer from TalkTalk. Definitely a phishing attempt!TalkTalk10 yearsHe called claiming to be from TalkTalk and said my internet would be disconnected. I told him I’m not a TalkTalk customer and he just hung up.TalkTalk10 yearssome one said they were from talktalk tech support and told me my internet would be disconnected since hackers were apparently using my PC, then they wanted me to install teamviewer to "fix" it. complete scam!TalkTalk10 yearsHonestly, I really reckon the government - be it Westminster or the Scottish administration - needs to step up and do more about catching these scammers. It’s about time they took some proper action on this.Westminster10 yearsYesterday afternoon I got a call from this number. Thankfully, my call blocker caught it and stopped the ring, but it still popped up on my missed calls list.10 yearsI just got another weird silent call, about 10 minutes after the first one, from 01132320218. I'm pretty sure it’s one of those scammers from India pretending to be TalkTalk - funny enough, that used to be my internet provider! They were probably trying to scare me about viruses on my connection or something.IndiaTalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from some bloke asking for a colleague of mine. He didn’t make any sense and refused to say why he was ringing. When I told him she wasn’t around, he just put the phone down. Strange guy.10 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded Indian, claiming to be from some government office about my internet connection. I pretended not to understand what an internet connection even was, and then they just ended the call.10 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was David from BT's tech department. Had a funny accent and was claiming my name even though I’m not even with BT. Didn’t say a word to him and just hung up straight away. Seemed well dodgy to me.DavidBTSubmit Your Own Report (0161 799 4996)
