A related topic is published in today's Times newspaper concerning the same organisation being 'run by professional fraudsters'. |

I too had a call from "Talktalk" hmm! so thought I would play him along, when he said to go to the comp. I said hold on while I switch on......left the phone of the hook (completely forgot) and about an hr later saw it was off, lifted and could hear same person talking to (sounded elderly) person saying "That's right now press key at bottom right hand corner" whereupon I shouted through "It's a scam" all I heard "OH Dear" and a phone being put down. The caller was shouting frantically where are you sir come back !!!! I then put the phone down. How I managed to get on to the same line is a mystery but glad I did. Have done it again since but all I got was a dead line. |

Been with TT for years. We are always getting calls from them. Mostly can't understand them & can't hear them for the background noise. Always telling us we have been hacked, want us to go to the computer. As soon as I say hello & no one answers straight away I know it is them. It is really annoying. Just press the red button now. |

It's a scam - had a call from (allegedly) Talktalk - even used my surname - but it's not their tech department. And the number is an overseas one (starts with 00). |

I agree, Rollo, they have always been courteous on the handful of occasions I have had to speak with someone. |

Even when TT had tech and security issues putting their support staff under a lot of stress I never had anything but courtesy from them in relation to my mothers account. Unless you need superfast 100, which only Virgin has, TT are best value all in one package. |

These types of call may not even be from within the UK. |

Just googled the number you quoted but it comes up with nothing. Wonder if it really was a TT rep on the other end or another scam. |
