I don't have an account with talktalk but want to contact them to report that my mailbox is being deluged with spam seeming to come from friends who do have talk talk email addresses. Does anyone know an phone number or email address as contacting them through their website seem to be impossible. I want to forward them the some of the spams that are being sent that are obvious phishing scams. It seems that you have to have a talk talk phone to be able to access their call centre....... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I wouldn't expect too much from them Tim considering there statements of things like "we're under no legal obligation to encrypt customer banking data".

That to me says it all... they simply don't / won't give a flying................

Which seems crazy given the requirements of the "DATA protection act"
Companies and individuals having a requirement to receive such personal information must take safeguards to protect and secure that information. We as consumers entrust our most confidential information to these people; for them to (electronically) leave it lying on the desk for everyone to see. Crazy. Surely they are obligated.

Absolute shysters.

My nan just got an iPad and we set her up with email - I'll have to warn her about this.

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't heard about it.
