Please be aware of Talk Talk sales reps or any other company for that matter, make sure you see ID, and tell them you need to call Talk Talk or which ever company it is to confirm they are legitimate before even speaking to them, this is what happened to me. My front door was knocked yesterday and a young lady and young man I think they were Indian, said to me they were from "Talk Talk" the offered me free internet and free line rental on my land line and to buy out my sky contract, it all seemed too good, when I asked for a printed leaflet with all the details they couldn't produce anything, they then told me I only had until 5pm to sign up or the deal would end, they then asked for bank details to do a 1p transaction and they asked for permission to do a credit check, it started raining so they moved inside my front door, she then asked me to get her a glass of water, when I returned with the water they where making for my living room, so I asked them to leave politely which they did. I called talk talk and they told me that they were definitely not employees, so I called the police, they said there is nothing much they could do, so I thought of the Forum, spread the word please
There was a similar thread to this a few weeks back - people concerned about a scam/con by a young indian couple. No telling if its the same people, but alarm bells were ringing then and now. Just had a quick look through old threads but couldn't find it I'm afraid...
i had a woman at the door fitting that description from Talk Talk last night, around 7:00pm - she wanted to come in but I said no. i did think it odd she didn't have a brochure to give me, though she stressed they weren't taking any money (as if I'd ever hand over cash or a card to some random person!)
As somebody who's worked for TalkTalk before I can tell you all this could be totally legitimate,They usually say they can give you cheaper broadband and homephone prices?They may come across as very full on but its because they work on a commission only basis.When a sale is agreed they come in and take details of previous internet supplier and internet points for connection etc

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
