Talk Talk customers - have you had an increase in cold calls

[vrsmxtb]

So for the last week or so we have experienced a marked increase in the amount of calls from some odd numbers, both during the day and in the evenings. Haven't answered any numbers we didn't recognise, and they never leave a message.

Just wondered if there is any coincidence with the Talk talk data hack as we are with TT. Any other customers had anything similar recently?

It was reported on the radio this week that the number of scam calls have increased as a result of the data hack, customers are warned to be very careful. The situation is not helped by the high volume of genuine cold calls TT make to customers.

Probably tempting fate but no.

I'm a TT customer who is actually quite happy with the service.

True, you gave them 5/5 last time they asked according to the leaked data....

We've got the BT number display and Call Minder services so if we don't recognise the number it goes to answerphone. Very few of them leave a message! Haven't noticed any increase in spam calls though we do get a few attempts every day - the call log shows they get fed up after a few failed calls though some are quite persistent.

Haven't yet signed up for their offer of a years credit monitoring though I am already signed up to Equifax after my credit card co was hacked a few years ago. Credit monitoring is a useful facility IMHO.
