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

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
