The following number [ 0161 850 3012 ] which is Linked to the City of Manchester, shows up on my TalkTalk Bill, with a charge of around [ £ 3.47 ] even though no Call was made to this Number, from our Home TalkTalk - Landine. [ Duration of Call was over 18 - Minutes ] I also double checked with my Wife, who informed me, that she also made no calls what so ever to this number. I do remember the number showing up on my House Phone - Display Screen when the telephone rang, but as normal, if I do not recognise the Number, I simply ignore the Call, which is exactly what happened on this particular occasion. It was only when I carried our a routine check of my TalkTalk - Account, did I discover that this charge was linked to my Bill. Curious as to why this charge had been made, I telephoned the number [ 0161 850 3012 ] twice, only to hear the word " Goodbye " on both occasions. [ ? ] This resulted in a charge of [ £ 0.39 ] for each dialled call, in Total a result [ £ 0.78 ] was made to my Account. Since then there have been additional charges made to my Bill from the same number, with the over all Total being around [ £ 4.86 ] I have also raised this problem with TalkTalk, during an Online Chat, of which I have retained a copy of the Transscript, for future reference, with the additional plan to double check exactly what types of TalkTalk Security, I have in place within my TalkTalk - Account. TalkTalk - Customer. I will monitor my Account over the next few days and weeks, in light of what I have now discovered.
I got a call from a man with an Indian accent telling me he was from Openreach and that I had a problem with my router, he asked me to hold while he got an engineer to deal with me he asked me to press the windows key and R then type msconfig to show the list of running services, he told me to close it then open my browser and type in openreachsupport.webs.com I did this from my phone, and I'm sure it is a fake website because I had already went to the open reach site the moment he called, I then asked him if he knew who I was and he told me I was a customer, I said to him you must think I'm stupid, he started to get agitated because I would not tell him who I was, I told him that if he was who he said he was then he should know who he is talking to, by now he got angry shouted at me and hung up, he is very good and will catch people out who do not understand computers, he tried to get me to tell him who I was and was talking fast in the hoe that he could overwhelm me into making a mistake, I'm sure the website I will allow remote access if the victim enters any details on the site, I virus scanned my phone and PC as a precaution
