She just hung up on me after that. I tried ringing the number back and all I got was a message saying the number isn’t recognised. Pretty clear this was a scam with a fake number.Virgin Media5 yearsI received a rather abrupt phone call from a lady with an Asian accent. She claimed to be representing Virgin Media, stating that our internet connection was subpar. However, as soon as I started to question her, she disconnected the call. When I attempted to ring the number back, I was met with the rather unhelpful message stating 'the number you've dialled is not recognised.' Clearly, it was a dodgy number. I've gone ahead and blocked it to avoid further hassle.Virgin Media5 yearsThis is already the third time they've rung me today.5 yearsI think it was one of those call centre calls from India. They claimed to be from BT, worried about my internet speed. Then they told me to press the Windows key plus R and asked what popped up. I joked back saying I could see the moon, stars and even a tiny astronaut floating about. Pretty sure it was dodgy, so when I said it seemed like a scam and I wasn’t messing with their instructions, they just cut me off.BT5 yearsGot another call today on my landline from someone pretending to be BT.
