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

    • Bit off-topic, but I am curious as to how you can book the silver swim at ED.  Every time I look on the booking system, it's full booked.  It seems to be booked further ahead than other swim sessions.  It would be really nice to be able to attend a non lane swim.  
    • That's awful. Did you complain to this man?
    • If you’re in a public place, your image is available for public consumption.  But you would have a legitimate grievance if you found it was being misused
    • I wanted to recommend my physio Mario.  Highly recommend him to anyone. he’s based on coldharbour lane SE5. Mario previously was working in East Dulwich but now has his own practise.  After my apt my range of movement has dramatically improved, able to put weight on the joint, swelling significantly reduced. Mario accepts medical health insurance clients from Nuffield, vitality, bupa too. https://orthophysioclinic.co.uk  07417 413969
