Talk Talk customers - BEWARE - Scam call centre warning

[#1]

Just read this story on BBC news site...

If you are a TT customer... check out the pics of parts of the " script ".. and read it carefully, so you recognise the style and wording..

I was with TalkTalk 2 weeks before changing to PN, and was very nearly caught out by this. Luckily I had the savvy to pick up on a couple of things that the scammers were after. After telling me that my screen would go blank for approx 30 seconds I switched off my router while still on the phone to them. But the one thing that sticks in my mind is how did they get my phone number (given to me only 1 week previously) by TT?

Be careful out there cos they just might try it with other providers.

I had a similar call last week claiming to be from BT. I was immediately on alert and asked why was BT calling me when they weren't my provider. He said, 'because we service the network and we identified you have some problems'.

When I said then I'll speak to my ISP he hung up. It would be so easy for some to be scammed and believe what they are told.

An ISP calling their customer? Nah, it must be a scam.

Haha - thats one way of looking at it
