Usually I just ignore calls from unknown numbers, but I always look them up on this website before blocking. Seriously, I’m so glad this place exists! There’s way too many dodgy calls going around nowadays. I’ve even flagged one as Dangerous to help keep others safe, especially folks who might not be as careful. Thanks a bunch!

I’ve noticed this number shows with an INTERNATIONAL label on my caller ID, yet it’s supposed to be from Reading here in the UK, which seemed a bit odd right away. After seeing all the warnings and similar experiences people have shared here, I’m relieved I didn’t pick up. They ring constantly, so I’m definitely putting it on my block list now.

Got a call on my home phone at half past seven in the morning claiming to be from Virgin Media. When I asked who they were and said I’d ring Virgin Media direct to check, they just ended the call. So I tried ringing back, hiding my number, only to find the number doesn’t exist. Feels dodgy, and I’ve labelled it as Dangerous because I know a few older relatives who might fall for this as a real Virgin Media call. Honestly, I’d get in trouble if I said what I think about these scammers.

The lady sounded Asian and told me there was some suspicious activity on my line and told me to check my router. She seemed in a hurry but I told her to hang on because I’m disabled. When I asked for her name and if the call was being recorded, she said “Steller Smith.” I repeated it back to be sure, but then she just hung up straight away.

I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from Sky’s tech team. She said people in my neighbourhood had reported issues with their internet being hacked and somehow involved in illegal stuff. Then she asked if I’d given my phone number out to anyone. I told her no. She was speaking so fast I couldn’t really follow, so I said I’d call back later. Right after that, the call just ended. I rang Sky directly afterwards and they told me they hadn’t rung me at all.

I just received a call from this number, claiming to be from Virgin, stating there’s some dodgy activity on my router. The caller began interrogating me about the lights on my router, but I found it rather odd. She then mentioned that she was there to assist me. When she asked if I had a computer at home, I replied, "No, not at all," and suddenly the call was disconnected. It seems to me they were gearing up to trick me into giving access so they could pull something sneaky.

I received a phone call from this number on the 8th of October, 2021. The caller stated she was representing Virgin Media, which is indeed my current provider. At first, I didn't suspect anything amiss since she knew the name of my provider. She went on to say that there had been some suspicious activity associated with my broadband connection and that they needed to sort it out urgently. I played along, but as she began to instruct me on what to do on my computer, it all started to feel rather dubious. I informed her that I would be phoning Virgin directly to verify and promptly called 150. A lovely lady named Georgia confirmed that the call was indeed a scam and that my Virgin account was perfectly secure.

I received a rather peculiar phone call today (8th October 2021) from a woman claiming to represent Virgin Media, much like the previous experience mentioned. She informed me that my router had been compromised, with individuals allegedly stealing my private information. She proceeded to request that I open a certain application on Google so she could provide me with a code to enter. Thankfully, her instructions were somewhat garbled, and I decided it best to terminate the call, believing it to be a fraudulent attempt. Sure enough, she rang back on two separate occasions, but I allowed my answering machine to deal with it.

Today, I found myself on the receiving end of a missed call from 01184640239, dated 8/10/2021. Shortly thereafter, I got another call from 01994372430, which struck me as quite reminiscent of other remarks I've seen about the former number, leading me to suspect a connection between them. The chap on the other end of the line said he was representing Virgin Media and mentioned some dubious activity he’d spotted on my router recently, suggesting someone else might be tapping into my connection. When I queried him about my account number to verify his legitimacy, he rattled off something beginning with HO. I immediately knew that wasn’t correct, so I simply replied, 'That's not right,' and promptly ended the call.

I received a call from this number just now. Upon picking up, I was met with silence and then some clicking sounds. Someone finally uttered, "hello, is anyone there?" to which I responded with a "yes". Curiously, the caller then asked, "what do you want?" To which I pointed out that they were the ones who rang me. After that, it fell silent again, and I decided to end the call.
