5 yearsGot a call from someone offering broadband nearby, the voice and number seemed like they were from Preston, Lancashire. I said I wasn’t interested, but they kept pushing for details like who we already use, our email, and if we wanted quicker internet. After a bit, they said thanks and then ended the call.HaloPrestonLancashire5 yearsThis company won’t stop ringing me, I’ve told them loads of times to take my number off their list but they just keep on calling anyway.5 yearsGot a call from some random telecom company trying to sell me stuff.5 yearsHey there!5 yearsIt seems there's someone masquerading as a Virgin associate, attempting to peddle "more affordable" internet packages.Virgin5 yearsThis number keeps ringing and all I hear is "hello, hello" on the other end. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!5 yearsI've been receiving calls from individuals claiming to represent VirginMedia. It's an absolute con, and they just won't take the hint to stop ringing me!VirginMedia6 yearsHalo said they was cutting costs and asked me to delete my number, then they rang me right after. Because of that, I just assume all of 'em are scammers.6 yearsGot a call about virgin internet or something like that. Total scammer.Virgin6 yearsGot calls from 01772428502 today, the guy said he was from Halo Direct, some 'Virgin partner'. Told him twice to take us off their list but he kept pressing for answers even after I said no and wanted to be left alone. On the second call, I had to tell him three times to stop calling. Proper annoying!Halo DirectVirgin6 yearsGot a call asking how my Virgin broadband setup is going. They asked loads of personal questions and said they were from Halo Direct or something. Honestly, if I get another call like that, I’m just cutting it off straight away.VirginHalo Direct7 yearsSo the company is called Halo, they ring up asking how a virgin install turned out, at first it seems like a follow-up to check quality, but then they start asking about other services and it soon feels like they’re trying to sell you stuff.HaloVirgin7 yearsThey’re now ringin from 01772428503 as well. Had two calls from someone sayin they’re with a company named Hero Connect. When we asked who they actually were, they said they’re “partners of Virgin Media.” Asked them to explain what that meant and they just got dodgy and shut the phone down on us.Hero ConnectVirgin Media7 yearsSome bloke said he was with Halo and asked if we were a different company. I told him we weren't. Then he said they were located at some other company’s address. I told him he must’ve got the wrong place. He went on about fitting a Virgin Media line here but reckoned he’d dialled the wrong number. Bit odd if you ask me, wouldn’t trust it.HaloVirgin Media7 yearsWow they ring me again - seriously what’s wrong with them? Do they really think I’m gonna wake up and go sure, scam me today thanks for calling! They pretend to be from Virgin Media or something - feels pretty dodgy to me.Virgin Media7 yearsBeware of the number 01772428502 - it’s linked to a dubious operation claiming to be associated with a company named Halo, which they assert has ties to Virgin Media. They’re quite pushy and don’t seem to accept rejection easily. Best to steer clear!HaloVirgin Media7 yearsThey just rang again, I told them we’re signed up to the TPS (which we are and it’s all current), and they went on about how they always check numbers against TPS! Kept rambling about Virgin Media partners and if we were aware of the most recent industry changes. I had to say no interest at least four times. What’s the point of TPS then?TPSVirgin Media7 yearsA company named Halo rang up and talked to one of our team. They wanted to speak to the director, claiming they were calling for Virgin Media. Our staff are wise to the fact that asking for the director often points to a scam, so they said they'd get the director to return the call. When asked when the director would be available, they didn’t know. Their reply was, “WELL I’LL GET MY CRYSTAL BALL OUT THEN!!!!!” They could’ve just left a number, it’s such a total waste of time.HaloVirgin Media8 yearsThis number has been ringing my phone daily for the past week, around half four in the afternoon. Every time I pick up, they just end the call without saying a word. Quite annoying, to be honest!8 yearsJust got a call like that, they said they was connected to Virgin Media and started probing about my business. When I asked if they was actually calling for Virgin Media, they said they used to be a major partner but weren't anymore. I told them if they’re not from Virgin Media now, I’m not gonna chat about my business with them - they ended the call sharpish. Proper sneaky way to try and get info from me, don’t trust it.Virgin MediaVirgin8 yearsDatatel rang me once the Virgin Media was set up, asking tons of questions about my phone lines. Proper annoying!Virgin MediaDatatel8 yearsGot a call from someone sayin they’d just put in a Virgin Media line here. We did get one set up, but only by Virgin Media people. Wouldn’t really trust those callers.Virgin Media8 yearsThey claimed to have formerly worked with Virgin Media as a delivery partner. I have no clue how they got hold of my phone number.
