Fresh hell for TalkTalk customers: TeamView trap unleashed

Re: This is interesting

In fairness to TalkTalk (that stuck in the back of my throat a bit) - I've had 6 phone call attempts to "assist me with issues using TeamViewer" and 11 email attempts asking to add such and such a person on TeamViewer - I've never been a TalkTalk customer and the emails have come through Hotmail.

So I don't think it's just confined to them.

The emails generally go like this:

Hello,

UORetribution would like to add you as a contact in his/her TeamViewer contacts list.

To accept UORetribution as a contact please click the following link.
