Talktalk Data Leak - Scam Calls
9 Answers
I'm with Talktalk and it seems every time I call the Talktalk contact centre, a day or two later I get scam calls telling me I have a computer/broadband fault.
I know Talktalk had thousands of customer numbers/data stolen in 2015 but it's hard to believe this data is being used now.
I believe Talktalk have a leak in their contact centre, maybe staff selling numbers out.
Does anyone else have this problem and what are your thoughts?

if you have caller read out it showing their number etc, it usually begins with 001 or something or no number at all, you can block these numbers i think its 14259 you dial after the call, and if you have a decent phone that has block call without number and international calls, most of the scam calls are made via voip...google it.
i get one or two a week, that i block, they just change their number
