10 yearsI 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.Talktalk10 yearsGot hit with another call where nobody said a word today.10 yearsGot 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.10 yearsI've had two phone calls, and it's really wearing me down. My brother is battling cancer, and I honestly can't handle the stress of wondering who's on the other end every time my phone goes off. It’s just too much to cope with right now.10 yearsGot a call at about 10:45 in the morning but they didn't leave any voicemail or anything.10 yearsGot 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.10 yearsGot 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.TalkTalk10 yearsThat was undoubtedly the most dreadful phone conversation I've ever experienced!10 yearsI've been getting persistent calls from this number, almost every day without fail - sometimes even twice in a single day! They claim to be from Talk Talk, warning me of some supposed security issue with my account and that someone’s attempting to breach it. Each time, I mention that I'm preoccupied and request their name so I can return the call at a more convenient time... but they hang up immediately. It’s infuriating that the calls just keep on coming! Next time, I might just tell them to hold on a moment, as I’ve flagged them to the authorities, who are tracing these calls.10 yearsI recently received a call from this number, and it seems I'm not alone in this experience as others have reported similar encounters with various digits too. What really concerns me is that the caller was aware of my TalkTalk account number. Quite troubling, isn't it?10 yearsI 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.TalkTalk10 yearsGot 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.TalkTalkAsia10 yearsBloody idiots!10 yearsI received a rather irksome phone call from this number, claiming they were about to disconnect my internet service. They requested I hop on my computer to sort out some supposed security issue. I informed them I was too preoccupied to assist, and then they had the gall to tell me to 'calm down' before rambling on. In the end, they abruptly ended the call, which was just infuriating!10 yearsIt 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.10 yearsI've received calls from some dodgy characters purporting to be from Talktalk.Talktalk10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Talk Talk, telling me my internet was hacked. Seriously, don’t follow any of their requests - just end the call straight away.TalkTalk10 yearsDefinitely a scam, watch out!Fraud10 yearsI 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.CHEERS10 yearsSomeone called saying they were from TalkTalk trying to fix my router. I told them it was a scam and then they just ended the call!TalkTalk10 yearsWhat a sad bunch of folks.10 yearsDidn’t bother leaving a message on my voicemail.10 yearsThis 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!TalkTalk10 yearsSounds 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.BT10 yearsgot a call earlier claiming to be bt about my internet, but i wasnt having any of it and told them to buzz off.BT10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were TalkTalk, but then wanted me to click a link online. Felt a bit dodgy, especially when they started asking how old I was - totally not on!TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from someone saying it was to do with my internet. They wanted me to enter some stuff so they could get access.10 yearsI received another call today regarding my internet service, but this time it was from a different number. When I requested him to verify my name and address, he abruptly ended the call. If he dares to ring me again, he’ll be in for a blast of my whistle!10 yearsReceived a dodgy call purportedly from Talktalk this afternoon on the 3rd of September, 2016. I've been inundated with fraudulent calls today, not to mention a spate of them over the past few days from a different number, 02087451222. Each time, they insist they're from Talktalk and are desperate to get me to let them access my computer under the guise of addressing some security problems. Strangely enough, all the individuals on the line have sounded foreign, specifically with a Pakistani accent, making it feel eerily similar to trying to reach the real Talktalk themselves!Talktalk10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with TalkTalk about my internet today. Didn't sit right, so I've just blocked the number.TalkTalk10 yearsI'm pretty sure this is a total scam! Don’t ever share your details or let them on your computer, it’s not worth it.10 yearsI gave them my BT account number and they just hung up on me. Definitely another scam call.BT10 yearsReceiving calls daily, but they always disconnect the moment I pick up.10 yearsReceived 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.BT10 yearsThey didn’t say a word except for a quick ‘good bye’. No real conversation at all.10 yearsGot 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.BTSubmit Your Own Report (01856 418157)
