Expert Opinion

Just this morning the 0800 955 544 number has been popping up on many mobiles, often claiming to be TalkTalk support or marketing. The pattern of vague greetings, background chatter and no clear reference to your account points to a typical telemarketing or spoof call. To keep your details safe, never confirm personal data unless you’ve initiated the contact through the official TalkTalk website or app. Use your phone’s call‑blocking feature or a third‑party blocker, and register the number with the Phone Care whitelist. Report persistent harassment to Ofcom and, if you suspect fraud, alert TalkTalk’s abuse team. A quick check can stop a nuisance call before it escalates.
