I tried discussing this with TalkTalk but honestly, they seemed totally uninterested. Seems like a proper scam and they don’t seem to bother sorting it out. Pretty disappointing really.

Got hit with another call where nobody said a word today.

Got ringed like five times today by some guy. I just played along, acted like I was following his instructions with the computer. When he told me to press ctrl and R together, I asked him what his computer said. Then I told him straight up he’s a scammer and to quit calling me, what a bunch of muppets. Can you believe, he actually told me to f*** off! Ridiculous.

They've called me twice now, and honestly, I'm so over it. My brother's battling cancer, and I really don't need this added stress every time the phone goes off.

Got a call today from someone saying my computer had a virus. They asked me to hit the Windows and R keys together on my keyboard. When I tried to find out who he was, he started shouting and was downright rude about me and my parenting.

Got a call earlier claiming to be from TalkTalk, saying my internet had a virus and they were shutting down my account with no refund. Then the bloke just said bye and cut the call! Pretty sure they’ll ring again pretending to sort it out, or hoping I call them back and fall for the scam.

That was honestly the most awful call ive ever had.

I get a call from them almost daily, sometimes twice a day, supposedly from Talk Talk about some security issue and that someone tried to get into my account. When I say I'm tied up and ask who's calling so I can ring back, they just cut me off. The calls still keep coming though. Next time, I'm thinking of telling them to wait on the line 'cause I've already told the cops and they're tracing the number.

I just got a call from this number and it’s not the first time - loads of other numbers have called me before. What really freaked me out was that they actually knew my TalkTalk account number.

I picked up and said hello, and the person just said hello back then ended the call right away! I reckon it’s one of those calls from someone pretending to be TalkTalk since I get loads from different numbers all the time! I just keep blocking them as they come.

Got a call from someone saying they were with TalkTalk and told me my internet was slow because some hackers had gotten into my system. I nearly fell for it at first, but then he said I’d be offline for months and needed a new router. He asked me to follow some steps on my PC so he could "sort it out". Yeah right, total con job. The accent sounded like it was from one of those call centres in Asia, I think Indian. Luckily, TalkTalk sent out an email warning customers about scams like this.

I got a call from this number saying they were about to disconnect my internet. They asked me to get on my computer and check the security settings or something. I told them I was too busy to do that right now. They kept telling me to stay calm and then just hung up. Proper annoying experience.

It only rang a couple times before cutting off, so I couldn't get to the phone quick enough to pick up. Felt like it was one of those scam calls trying to fish for info.

I was just about to jot down what happened with a different number when suddenly my phone buzzed again. This time it stopped ringing before I could pick up, and when I checked the voicemail, all it said was: GOODBYE.

This morning i got a call from someone claiming to be TalkTalk. I told her straight up it was a scam and how rubbish it was that these scammers bother people. I even shouted back at her down the line and she just went and told me she hoped i died. How lovely!

Sounds like a total scam to me. Got called a couple of times in just two weeks, and the caller said they were from BT. Not buying it.

Today I got another call, but this time from a new number, about my internet connection. When I asked the bloke to say my name and address, he just went quiet and hung up. If they ring back once more, they’re gonna get a proper mouthful from me!

Got a call today from a new number claiming to be Talktalk, rang me on 03/09/16, after loads of dodgy calls from a different number, 02087451222, over the past few days. They kept insisting they needed to fix a security problem on my computer. Every caller sounded foreign, like from Pakistan, so yeah, definitely not the real Talktalk! Total scam.

Received a call from 01856418157 claiming to be from BT, stating that my router was experiencing issues. This is the second time I've been bothered by them in a single day! When I inquired about my BT account number, they abruptly hung up. Clearly, yet another scam attempt on the line.

They didn’t say a word except for a quick ‘good bye’. No real conversation at all.

Got one of those BT scam calls again. They tried to get me to give the name on the bill to prove I was the account holder, but when I refused, they got pretty annoyed. Classic scam stuff.
