E-mail scam about leaving TalkTalk?

Martin84 — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 14:58:02 GMT

Hello

I have had a several emails in the last few days concerning me leaving TalkTalk. I have also received a call on my home land line (which has nothing to do with TalkTalk) as well from 0345 1720088.

Does anyone know if this is a current scam or not? I have, as usual, not replied to anything but have changed my account password.

Thanks

Hi @Martin84 unless it was spoofed the phone number is genuine talk talk. Have you reported your concerns to the scam protection crew?

Hi @Martin84 I’ve accessed your account, and I can confirm that we sent you an email and a letter notifying you that we received an unsolicited cease letter submitted on your behalf regarding a new provider taking over your services on 16.11.2025. This cease request was placed on 14.10.2025. Have you recently spoken to any other provider?

@Mandisa-TT : I have received various email supposedly from TalkTalk but had assumed them to be part of a scam.

I can confirm that:

No letter was sent by me to you to terminate my account.
I have not been in touch with any other ISP.

I think you should call the number mentioned in the email and tell TalkTalk that you do not wish this to go ahead.

The support team here cannot communicate with you directly by email. You will need to contact customer services in order to stop this going ahead, they will be able to tell you as previously advised.

I am told that I have received these messages in error because TalkTalk are migrating older accounts to newer ones. And mine is an old account!

The cancellation request received is itself being cancelled.

I will keep an eye on this though.
