6 yearsToday I got another call from some bloke who said his name was “Alex,” saying he was ringing from Virgin about my internet. When I asked which company he was with, he just cut me off straight away. This was the fourth time I’ve had a call like this claiming to be from Virgin. Like before, I’ve blocked all the numbers. They’ve been calling from different places each time, so they must be switching the numbers they use. And each time it sounds like it’s a busy call centre in the background.AlexVirgin6 yearsYet another scam call pretending to be from Virgin Media! I haven’t had any problems with my internet so this was a bit suspicious. Just ignored and blocked the number right away. Would definitely tell Virgin and the ICO about it.
