Phone number ☎️ 01618182967 👆 is reported as linked to numerous scam calls impersonating well-known UK internet providers like Virgin Media, Sky, BT, and TalkTalk. Callers often claim urgent issues such as hacking or compromised broadband, pressuring recipients to install remote access software to "fix" problems. Many report strong foreign accents, notably South Asian, and aggressive tactics that include cutting calls abruptly or refusing to provide verifiable contact details. These calls frequently target vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, and have led to attempts at gaining remote access to devices and personal financial information. Genuine contact numbers of providers are often spoofed or misused. It is strongly advised not to engage, avoid installing unfamiliar software, never share personal or financial details, and verify any suspicious contact by directly calling official customer service channels.

2 yearsI rang a landline and someone picked up, but they just ended the call straight away. Decided to block the number after that.2 yearsJust cut the call as soon as I picked up - instantly blocked.2 yearsI just picked up and they hung up straight away, so I went ahead and blocked the number.2 yearsAs soon as I picked up the phone, they abruptly disconnected the call.5 yearsI’ve received two calls in as many days from similar numbers - one was 01235255498, and the callers claimed to be David Williams and Michelle Williams. Both had Asian accents and said they were calling from Virgin Media, warning that my internet had been hacked. It’s obviously a scam, so don’t trust those reassuring green safe messages. Be sure to warn older relatives or friends who might get caught out by these awful scammers.David WilliamsMichelle WilliamsVirgin Media5 yearsReally dodgy call! Someone said they were from Sky and wanted me to download this app called "quicksupport" so they could get into my phone remotely to fix internet issues. I kept telling them my internet was fine, but they wouldn't listen and kept saying there was a problem that needed checking. When I said I didn’t have enough storage space on my phone, they got really pushy, urging me to delete apps just to install their quicksupport thing. Watch out and don’t fall for it! Best to just ignore calls like that.Sky5 yearsPossible scam! A caller claiming to be from Sky just rang me up, insisting I download "quicksupport" onto my phone so they could access it remotely to investigate my internet issues! I kept stating that my internet is functioning perfectly well, but he wouldn’t have any of it, saying there was definitely a problem that needed sorting out. I eventually told him that I was short on storage and would return the call later. Take heed and steer clear of such calls!!Sky5 yearsGot a few calls from someone saying they were with Virgin Media, but they kept their number hidden. Said it was about our broadband, which is alright by me. They rang a couple of times but never left a voicemail; all I could hear were weird clicks and random ringing noises. Quite odd really.Virgin Media6 yearsPurporting to be from Virgin Media, a chap called Benjamin Wilson got in touch.

He told me to switch on my computer so he could guide me step by step. I wasn’t comfortable, so I asked for a number to ring him back. He said his name was Jack Brown and he worked in Virgin Media's tech support, sounded like he had an Asian accent.Virgin MediaJack BrownTechnical Department of7 yearsYeah, this number is legit and actually belongs to Virgin Media.Virgin Media7 yearsDon’t trust the comment marked with the green ‘safe’ tag, it’s probably from a scammer trying to trick us.7 yearsYeh, I’m certain this number belongs to Virgin Media.Virgin Media7 yearsThis number actually belongs to Virgin Media, just to let ya know.Virgin Media7 yearsMy mum got a call from someone named David Matthews who said he was from TalkTalk and that she was due a refund of £320, not a cheque but straight into her bank. I rang back on 01618182967 and the bloke said he was with Virgin Media.

Watch out, it’s definitely a con!!!Richard WilliamsVirgin Media7 yearsThis happened to me too, it’s crazy. He ended up giving me some ID thing, said it was his virgin number or something like vm8657q20. Totally weird.Virgin7 yearsI got a call from 02031568956 claiming to be Virgin Media. The woman said someone else was using my internet and started asking how many gadgets I had connected. She then asked me to open my laptop and describe what was showing on the screen. I told her I was tied up and asked if I could ring back later, and she gave me another number, 01618182967. Turns out this is a scam. The caller was an Asian lady and it was clearly a dodgy call.Virgin Media7 yearsMy bank suddenly locked my account, feels like a total rip off!7 yearsReally happy I looked it up first.
