9 yearsI received calls from a different number that seemed all too familiar with my name, but their English was quite poor. It's clearly a spam attempt.9 yearsI received a call from a different number, and they seemed to know my name. Clearly, it's just another spam attempt.9 yearsTo be honest, TalkTalk is a complete load of nonsense. We don't even have a subscription with them. Someone claiming to be from TalkTalk called and mentioned that there was an issue with our internet. I asked what the problem was, but instead of answering, he insisted that I listen to him. I stood my ground and insisted that he listen to me instead. Without hesitation, he ended the call abruptly. Clearly, it was a scam! Talk about a scam indeed!!TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be TalkTalk, saying I owed money and needed to pay right away. Definitely a scam trying to get me to pay some fake bill over the phone.TalkTalk10 yearsThe person keeps calling persistently, even when I don't answer the phone. The message on the phone says "line in use" for over an hour. In other words, they stay connected to your phone, which is a well-known scam because landlines cannot disconnect unless both parties hang up. If this number or any unknown number calls you, avoid using the landline altogether. Unless you have a phone like mine that indicates if someone is still connected.11 yearsThe number looked a bit dodgy so I just ignored it, happy to see I wasn’t the only one when I checked the comments later.11 yearsToday, I received a call from someone claiming to be from the technical department of TalkTalk. It wasn't the first time they had made such an attempt, as they had done so before the recent TalkTalk issues arose. I quickly dismissed the call, not wanting to engage with them. The person on the line introduced herself as Anna, and surprisingly, her accent didn't give away her foreign origins like previous incidents.TalkTalkAnna11 yearsOver the past three days, I have received four calls from this particular number. The calls occurred twice within a single day, once during the evening, and again early in the morning. I have a personal policy of not answering calls from unfamiliar numbers, so I simply let my answering machine handle it. If the call is important, the caller can leave a message and then I can decide whether or not to return the call. However, salespeople and scammers rarely leave messages. In cases where the same number repeatedly calls me, I usually search for it on Google to find out who it belongs to, and then I block it. Rest assured, I will be blocking this number as well! (Please note that despite being ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service, we still receive numerous unwanted calls.)GoogleTelephone Preference Service11 yearsReceived a call just shy of 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning. It seemed to be an auto-dialing system, yet a person with quite broken English was on the other end. I could’ve sworn they mentioned something about internet service, but I ended up hanging up the phone. They knew my name, which was rather unsettling. When I tried to ring them back, I ended up reaching a ticket resale service that I’ve never even engaged with before. Strange, isn't it?11 yearsI was contacted multiple times on my phone. Usually, the calls would abruptly end without anyone speaking. However, about 5 minutes ago (at 1:45pm on July 11th, 2015), they called again. This time, they chanted or sang in either Arabic or Indian language through the phone. It seemed to resemble a Muslim prayer. I am currently reporting this incident to the police.11 yearsI received two silent phone calls today, and I decided to hang up on both occasions.11 yearsGot a silent call once, and another time this guy with a heavy Indian accent rang me up. When I didn't give him the details he was after straight away, he just hung up. He claimed to be from TalkTalk - which could be real, considering the poor service they provide.TalkTalk11 yearsThere are individuals out there who claim to be Windows support or representatives from Talktalk, trying to gain access to my computer. It raises the question of why nothing is being done to take legal action against them.Talktalk11 yearsToday, I received a call from someone claiming to be from talktalk. They insisted on gaining access to my computer, but I promptly declined and ended the call. Surprisingly, they called me back to inquire why I had hung up. I responded by asserting my right to disconnect the call as I pleased, and accused them of attempting to hack into my system. Although they denied these allegations, they then stated that they would no longer be able to assist me.11 yearsThey persistently call multiple times throughout the day.11 yearsThe individuals said they were representatives from TalkTalk, my ISP provider, and inquired about the status of my internet connection. It was obvious to me that they were attempting to deceive me. Therefore, I suggest that you add their number to your blocked caller list.TalkTalk11 yearsI recently had a rather frustrating phone conversation with some individuals who claimed to be tech support. As soon as one of them mentioned that my internet connection was apparently causing errors, I immediately recognized them as the incompetent individuals who have called me before from faraway places like India. Being fed up with their ineffective assistance, I responded sarcastically, saying "Oh, great!" This response caught them off guard, as they proceeded to try and stick to their predefined script. Unenthusiastically, I responded by encouraging them to go ahead and check my connection all they wanted, as I would just happily generate more errors for them. Once again, they were utterly bewildered by my unexpected statement. Realizing that the conversation was going nowhere useful, I decided to hang up.India11 yearsI recently received a phone call from a group of individuals, who I believe were from the Indian sub-Continent. They claimed to be from my internet service provider and asked if my internet connection was on. I misleadingly informed them that it was (even though it wasn't), and they transferred me to another person whose command of English was just as poor as the first caller. They seemed to have a concerted effort in trying to convince me to install malicious software. Growing tired of the language barrier, I expressed my suspicion that it was a scam since my ISP was different from the one they mentioned. Right before they disconnected the call, I boldly warned them that they would feel the consequences. Be cautious and avoid falling for such scams.ISP11 yearsI received a call today from some individuals who seemed quite foolish, possibly from the Indian subcontinent. They claimed to be calling from my internet service provider (ISP) and asked if my internet connection was turned on. Although it wasn't, I falsely responded with a "yes." They then passed me over to another person, who had an even poorer grasp of English than the first. Their intention became clear - they wanted me to install harmful software on my computer. Frustrated with the language difficulties, I eventually informed them that I suspected their call was a scam since I had a different ISP than the one they mentioned. Just before hanging up, I made sure to warn them that they would face consequences if they continued their dishonest activities. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from such scammers.ISP11 yearsThe moment I picked up the phone, they hung up on me.11 yearsThese individuals contact me consistently, sometimes even as many as three or four times in a single day. This has been happening for a prolonged period, spanning over several weeks or even months. Their conversations in the background are incomprehensible before abruptly terminating the call. I am extremely frustrated with their persistent calls and it baffles me how they are able to continue annoying people without any consequences!11 yearsReceived an unexpected call in total silence, where no one uttered a word upon answering.11 yearsIs this another bunch of con artists poppin' up?11 yearsA chap claimed to be from TalkTalk regarding our computer issues. We kindly asked him to leave us be, though perhaps not in the most direct manner!TalkTalk11 yearsI'm curious to know, what kind of scam are we actually dealing with here?11 yearsEvery day, I receive a call from this particular number, but due to the numerous scam callers I encounter, I choose not to answer it.11 yearsSame here, I was waiting for a ring from the doctor's office but when I picked up the line just went silent. The number started with 4471. I had no clue who it was, so I didn't bother returning the call.11 yearsIn the last two hours, this person has made a total of seven phone calls. I have chosen not to answer because the number appeared suspicious to me.11 yearsWatch out - this number rang me saying there was some kind of security issue with my TalkTalk internet and wanted to get into my computer for 15 minutes to fix it (do they really think folks are that gullible?). They refused to give any call-back number. I checked with TalkTalk themselves and it’s definitely a scam. They phoned me again this morning but just hung up when I mentioned I’d already sorted it with EE. On my phone, the number appeared as ‘out of area’.TalkTalkEE11 yearsEarlier today, we received a call from this number. It rang twice, but there was just dead air on the other end, so we decided to hang up.11 yearsI received a couple of phone calls from someone. During the first call, they remained silent and didn't say anything. However, during the second call, they just said goodbye and hung up.11 yearsThe person on the phone identified themselves as a representative from my Internet Service Provider (ISP) and informed me that I had allegedly downloaded hacking software. They offered to resolve the issue for me. However, when I questioned their knowledge about the specific software I was using, they abruptly ended the call. Upon redialing, I reached a ticketing service who explained that their number had been wrongfully taken over, causing them significant troubles.Internet Service ProviderISPSubmit Your Own Report (20888888888)
