Just hang up and put the number straight on block.4 yearsGot two calls from 01279210267 today, both saying they're from Virgin Media. I picked up the second one, and she asked me to check the light on my router and then go to my computer. I wasn’t having any of it and said no thanks, I’m not interested.

Definitely a scam.Virgin Media4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media last Wednesday on 02045099678, saying my internet was running slow. I ended up wasting nearly an hour chatting with him. He told me I had to get a new router and even gave the name and ID of an engineer who was supposedly visiting the next day. Then they said I was owed compensation but tried to take £504 out of my bank. Luckily my bank spotted it and stopped the payment, though it did mean my accounts got frozen and I had to change all my passwords.Virgin Media4 yearsAbsolute rotter posing as Virgin Media.Virgin Media4 yearsThey called me claiming to be from Virgin Media, telling me my internet wasn’t safe. The call lasted about an hour, and then they asked me to send a photo of my driving licence. They even mentioned I might get a £500 refund. I said I couldn’t find my licence, but they kept pushing and said they’d wait on the phone until I located it. That’s when I ended the call. They rang again, so I told them I’d contact Virgin Media directly to double-check. Turned out it had nothing to do with Virgin Media at all. Watch out for these sorts of scams!Virgin Media4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Virgin Media, said there was an issue with my internet.

Unfortunately, he terminated the call just when the banter was heating up! Such a pity!Virgin Media4 yearsThey’ve rung me up four times over just four days, so I just told them in no uncertain terms to buzz off internationally. Then for the hell of it, I flipped the script and wasted their time by throwing back some racist and rude comments, and even some filthy language to annoy them as much as they annoy me...4 yearsSomebody calling claiming to be Virgin Media rang me. I told Harry I reckoned he was dodgy, then he just put the phone down.Virgin MediaHarry4 yearsThey've called me four times in just four days! So I finally told them off in the most british way possible. And just for laughs, I ended up wasting their time too by hitting back with some rude, cheeky, and offensive stuff - all the nasty things they were throwing at me. Felt good to turn the tables!4 yearsWhenever I encounter someone of Asian descent introducing themselves as 'Mike', 'George', or 'Philip', I can’t help but respond with the same derogatory remarks. And if it’s an Asian woman, I unleash a torrent of sexually charged insults just to see how they feel being targeted by someone calling themselves 'Abdul'... those fraudulent individuals deserve it, don’t you think?MikeGeorgePhilipAbdul4 yearsI'm getting harassed by a number I don’t recognise that keeps calling me back to back.4 yearsI received a call claiming to be from Virgin Media's tech support, supposedly about some router troubles I didn't even know I had. They requested that I power up my computer and check a few websites while also asking for remote access to it. Clearly, this is nothing more than a dodgy phishing scam!Virgin Media4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Virgin, offering to give me £500 compensation for a slow internet connection. After a quick chat they just hung up. They also mentioned an engineer would come by to install a new router, but I’m not sure if that’s legit or not!Virgin4 yearsI got a call from a woman who had an Asian accent saying she was from the tech support team. Before she could say much more, I cut her off and told her she was trying to scam me. She didn’t bother arguing or anything, just ended the call right away.4 yearsGot a silent call for the second time within a couple days, and the moment I shouted really loud on the phone, they just ended the call.4 yearsI answered but no one spoke, then the call just dropped off.

They kept saying there was a problem with my router and wanted me to switch on my computer and visit some websites, which I didn’t do. Rang up Virgin myself and they said it had nothing to do with them at all. Definitely dodge and block these calls!Virgin4 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming she was from the tech support team. Before she could even finish, I told her she was trying to scam me. She didn’t say a word back and just ended the call straight away.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Virgin Media. Obviously a scam. It’s the second time in just a couple of days but they've been using a different number each time. Such a pain.Virgin Media4 yearsGot a call from someone sounding Indian with a lot of noise in the background, seemed like a classic scammer trying to trick me.4 yearsI let the answering machine take the call. Just as the greeting finished, the line went dead. Seems like a likely spam call to me.4 yearsThe call ended abruptly as soon as I picked up.4 yearsI believe this may be a fraudulent call claiming to be from Virgin. They mentioned that a virus had been downloaded onto my hub, which was allegedly causing slow internet speeds. They offered to fix it over the phone, but from what I’ve seen, Virgin doesn't typically initiate calls to customers. It's always safest to reach out to them directly yourself.Virgin4 yearsReceived a call from this number at 10:43, claiming to be from Virgin Media, asserting there was an issue with my Junk File. I played a bit daft and responded as if I thought he meant my Junk mailbox. He hung up without further ado, probably thinks I’m a bit slow on the uptake. P.S. Cheers, Bullock from Bradford, West Yorkshire.Virgin Media. SCheersBullockBradfordWest Yorkshire4 yearsI received a call from a lady claiming to be from Virgin Media, insisting there was an issue with my Internet connection. Curiously, she didn’t mention my name at all. When I probed her about knowing my name and account number, she promptly hung up! How typical!Virgin Media4 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Virgin Media, saying there was an issue with our internet connection. They had an Asian accent, and when I insisted that everything was working fine on our end, they abruptly hung up. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!Virgin Media4 yearsI was feeling quite sceptical about the situation. They claimed to be from Virgin, probing about my broadband speed. When I mentioned that the light on my router was solid, they suggested running a speed test in my browser. I wasn’t convinced at all, so I politely said, “Thanks, but I’ll sort it later. First, I’d like to contact Virgin directly.” After that, I hung up, as I suspect it was just a scam trying to pull a fast one on me.Virgin4 yearsHas anyone here picked up when this number rings? I’ve got a couple of missed calls from it recently, seems like it might be one of those robocall centres just checking if the number is active. I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise and they haven’t bothered leaving a voicemail either. I looked around online for any info about the caller but couldn’t find anything. Would rather not ring back until I figure out what’s going on. Anyone got a clue who it could be?4 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up but then just cuts off the call. Dunno who it is. It's not anyone from my mates, family, or any company I know.4 yearsI got a ring from a local-looking number (my iPhone even showed the area name), so I picked up. The person on the other end said they were calling about some accident I’d supposedly been involved in ages ago. I asked, “What accident?” and they quickly backtracked, saying, “Oh, you haven’t been in one? Right, thanks for your time then.” Really polite, but it was pretty clear they were just one of those injury claim firms trying to see if you’re interested in making a claim.4 yearsI reckon this could be a scam call. I let it ring through to my voicemail, and just as it was about to connect, they hung up. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!4 yearsTrapped in my junk filter, I see!Submit Your Own Report (01279 210267)
