6 yearsJust had a call from someone pretending to be with Virgin Media - total scam! Be careful, definitely not legit.Virgin Media6 yearsI saw this story in the Dorset Echo about callers pretending to be from an internet company. They say your connection will be disconnected if you hang up.Dorset Echo6 yearssomebody rang me pretending they was from virgin media, sounded proper dodgy tho. kept trying to get info from me but i wasnt having any of it. definitely think it's one of those scams going on. careful with these calls!Virgin Media6 yearsVirgin Media rang me again today - second time now!Virgin Media6 yearsThis number rang me up, and it was some Asian lady saying there was an issue between my exchange and router causing slow broadband. Funny thing is, I’d actually had issues earlier that day but TalkTalk fixed it around six hours before she called. I kept telling her everything was fine and eventually she stopped pushing. I told TalkTalk about the call and they sent me to this site. Really glad I didn’t share any details with her.TalkTalk6 yearsNo one spoke when I answered.6 yearsGot one of those dodgy calls claiming to be from Virgin Media's tech support about my internet. I actually have a PhD in computer science, so I always find it hilarious to mess with these muppets. I drag the call out, pretend not to understand, and deliberately misinterpret what they say. This one took nearly 40 minutes before he finally tried to get me to download some remote access programme! Heads up - never install anything they ask for. But honestly, it’s a bit of a laugh winding them up, the longer you keep them chatting, the less time they’ve got to scam proper vulnerable folks.Virgin Media6 yearsI've gotten loads of calls from people pretending to be Virgin, and I really need to sort out my router pronto. There’s so many numbers ringing me, like 0113 2250038, 01625 250933, 01633 677875, 01434 634592, 02033649295, 01256 479872, and 02034199055. Definitely not Virgin staff, and my internet’s working perfectly fine. Please, block all of these and report them if you can!Virgin6 yearsI missed the call and there was no voicemail left. Today, a number that looked like 01296580835 rang, and the person on the line spoke with an American accent, saying they were from Amazon. I’m pretty sure it was a fake call though.Amazon6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, saying my router was under attack due to loads of errors showing up. I could tell it was a scam straight away, so I decided to just stay on the line for about 20 minutes while they rambled through their script. After a bit, I just lost interest and hung up on them.Virgin Media6 yearsSomeone said they were phoning from Virgin, but when I questioned them a bit, they started getting all rude and aggressive.Virgin6 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming he was from Virgin Media, said he needed to fix my broadband. Felt fishy, like he was trying to get into my computer somehow. The noise in the background was ridiculous, couldn't even concentrate. Told him to wait on the line for a bit and the next thing I know, he just cuts off after a couple of minutes. Not falling for that!Virgin Media6 yearsGot a call from some automated voice saying it was Amazon Prime at first, then a lady took over asking if I had Amazon Prime. I said, “If you’re really from Amazon Prime, why are you even asking me that?” Then the line just cut off.Amazon Prime6 yearsGot calls three times from 01189464226. First call they said they were from Amazon, but the next two times they said they were from Sky, asking for updated payment details. When I questioned why the same number was used for both companies, they told me "this call centre handles both Amazon and Sky"! Bit suspicious if you ask me.AmazonSky6 yearsI didn’t pick up.6 yearsSo this woman rang me claiming she was with Virgin Media, mentionin' she'd noticed our internet speeds were all over the place, sometimes quick, other times not so much. I told her nicely that I’d already spoken with someone from Virgin Media earlier today about the very same thing. I also said it was thoughtful of them to care, but there's actually no issue with our internet here and we aren't even customers of Virgin Media anyway.Virgin Media6 yearsI picked up but they just hung up straight away. This is the seventh time I’ve had one of these annoying calls today, really starting to wind me up now.6 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Virgin Media, stating there were issues with my router and that I might be a victim of hacking. I decided to humour them for a bit. They went on about checking my computer to identify which IP addresses had been snooping on my details. Quite the unexpected turn of events!Virgin Media6 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Sky saying my internet speed wasn’t working right. She asked me to get on my computer so she could demonstrate the issues. I told her to just email me the details, but then the lady, who sounded asian, just ended the call.Sky6 yearsThis number rang me a couple of times. I answered the second call and a lady with an Asian accent started talking, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying at all. Then suddenly, the call just dropped.6 yearsSo I got a call from a woman who said her name was Mary and said she was with BT Openreach, claiming there was an issue with my wifi router. I told her there isn’t any problem and asked her not to ring me again before I ended the call. This is actually the third time I’ve received calls like this.MaryBT Openreach6 yearsMost likely just some kind of ad call. We keep our numbers off any public lists and only a few of us in the family have a landline at home. The phone kept ringing forever and ended up waking my old dad. Tried tracing the number but it didn’t come up as anything legit.6 yearsI decided not to answer the call.6 yearsI got a call from some guy named Lemar saying he was from Sky International. He wanted me to connect my laptop so he could "fix" an issue. Didn’t feel right, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.LemarSky InternationalSubmit Your Own Report (0118 946 4226)
