5 yearsHonestly, I haven't got a clue!5 yearsThis number call twice today but all I heard was some random noise, nobody spoke on the other side.5 yearsSomebody called claiming to be from Virgin Media, said they were making sure no harmful files got downloaded on my computer.Virgin Media5 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to fix my internet but totally sounded like a scam to me. Be careful with these!5 yearsI got a call from what looked like an overseas number, supposedly from Virgin Media, saying there was an issue with my router - sounded fishy. I checked the number with the 1471 service and it led back to this same one. Turns out, it’s actually owned by a woman in Leicester whose number’s been used without her knowing by these Virgin Media scammers. If you’re thinking about calling the 0116 number, don’t - she’s been bombarded with over 300 calls today and it’s driving her mad. Virgin Media know about it and are working with other networks to sort this out.Virgin MediaLeicester5 yearsSo this bloke calls me, trying to convince me to let him disconnect my internet and then put it back on - apparently he needed some info for that. When I asked if it was a scam, he just started yelling and then hung up on me. Proper dodgy if you ask me.5 yearsOn 21/05/2021, I got a call on our home phone saying our WiFi had about 15 devices connected downloading harmful malware. The caller offered to fix it by accessing our WiFi remotely but I wasn’t convinced since they didn’t verify their identity. I told him I’d end the call and ring Virgin myself, which didn’t seem to please him at all!WiFiVirgin5 yearsGot a call with nothing but a weird ping noise, then it cut out and some robot voice said “caller has disconnected”. Not sure what that was about.5 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from Virgin Media’s technical support team, insisting that they could resolve my broadband issues. When I pointed out that I'd already been in touch with someone from their company, they quickly ended the conversation. Quite peculiar, to say the least!Virgin Media5 yearsGot a call from 01162207084, a bloke with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from Virgin Media. He kept going on about someone hacking into my router, but he couldn’t tell me my name, address or account details. Felt shady straight away, so I just ended the call. I’m going to report it to Virgin Media and Action Fraud just in case.Virgin MediaAction Fraud5 yearsGot a call from a supposed Virgin Media rep, who was really persistent and kept pushing hard. In the end, I played the hold game with some classical tunes and they just gave up and hung up.Virgin Media5 yearsGot a call on my landline from 0116 220 7084, some bloke from India saying he was with Virgin Media. He asked me to link up one of my gadgets to his for a test or something. I said no, and he wasn’t too happy about it.Virgin Media5 yearsGot a call from someone saying there was a problem with our internet, but I'm pretty sure it was a scam.5 yearsI got a call from a woman with an accent, she said her name was Alice and mentioned something about my internet service. But when I asked her to explain what exactly she wanted to discuss, she just went quiet and didn’t say a word.Alice5 yearsGot a phone call from someone saying they were from the internet company. When I asked who exactly, they said BT. Then, about an hour later, I got another call from someone pretending to be Virgin. Honestly, your internet provider won't ring you up like that. Even if you miss a payment or two, they don't usually call - they'll just send you plenty of letters asking you to get in touch. Definitely a scam.BTVirgin Media5 yearsIn the past half hour, I've had this number ring me four times. The caller said he was Derek from Virgin Media, asking why I kept ending the call. I told him I wasn’t interested in chatting and got a bit snappy with him. Since then, no more calls from them!DerekVirgin Media5 yearsI just got a call from a number with a Helmsley, Yorkshire area code. I have no idea who it could be since I don't know anyone from that area. Didn't pick up and there was no voicemail left either.HelmsleyYorkshire5 yearsThe caller ID shows an international number claiming to be Virgin Media, trying to trick me with a story about my router. I checked using 1471, and it matched this same number. It's actually a woman from Leicester whose number has been stolen for this "Virgin Media" scam. #####PLEASE AVOID RINGING THE 0116 NUMBER - SHE'S RECEIVED OVER 300 DISTURBING CALLS TODAY##### Virgin Media know about it and are working with other networks to sort it out.Virgin MediaLeicester5 yearsEvery time I pick up, this number cuts off immediately. Quite frustrating, I must say!5 yearsThey were calling claiming to be Virgin Media about some internet virus problem. Honestly, best thing is not to engage with them at all. If your phone lets you, block the number straight away. It's very likely a dodgy overseas scam call trying it on. Stay safe, don’t get drawn in!5 yearsThis number kept ringing me, claiming they were from my internet company. Totally fishy, sounded like a scam to me. Definitely wouldn’t trust them.5 yearsI’ve been having serious issues with my internet lately and I think someone might be leeching off my Virgin Media connection. Totally annoying!Virgin Media5 yearsSo the first time I got a call from some woman saying she was with Virgin Media. I told her it was my work number and I’d report it as a scam, then she just hung up. Later, about half an hour after, the same number rang me again but I ignored it. Then, another call came in after another half hour from 7977482551, still on my work phone, and I didn’t answer that one either.Virgin Media5 yearsGot two calls from Virgin Media in under 10 minutes but different people each time, first was a woman on her mobile. Both used the same script and had Indian accents, pretty sure it’s a dodgy overseas scam. I’ve already told Virgin Media about it.Virgin Media5 yearsGot a call but no one left a message.Submit Your Own Report (0116 220 7084)
