Phone number ☎️ 01980594321 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting UK residents with calls impersonating Virgin Media, Sky, and other providers. Callers often claim there are urgent internet security issues or illegal usage, attempting to pressure recipients into granting remote access or visiting fake websites. They use aggressive tactics and sometimes abusive language when challenged. Multiple voices and background noise suggest a call centre, with some callers adopting Western names but speaking with strong Indian accents. The primary goal appears to be gaining control over personal devices to steal information or install malicious software. Recipients strongly advise against engaging, sharing screens, or downloading software. The number is widely reported to Virgin Media’s fraud team and police fraud portals for investigation. Exercise extreme caution and block the number if contacted.

5 yearsReceived a call on the 3rd at 09:12 but they didn’t bother leaving a message. I’m assuming it’s a dodgy call.5 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was calling from Virgin about a big issue with my internet. He said he was part of Virgin’s security team and could fix things for me. I told him my internet was fine and that if there was a problem, I’d contact Virgin directly. After that, he just ended the call. Watch out for this kind of scam!VirginVirgin Security5 yearsI received a call claiming to be from Virgin Media, but I suspect it's a scam.Virgin Media5 yearsReceived a dodgy call regarding issues with my internet services, claiming there were illegal activities occurring! It turned out to be a ploy to lure me into visiting a fraudulent website or to grant them access to my computer through the likes of TeamViewer. Once they manage to get into your system, they could easily install malware or snatch away your passwords and the like. Quite the shady operation, I must say!TeamViewer5 yearsThey purported to be representatives from Virgin Media, insisting that my account had been compromised.Virgin Media5 yearsSome blokes with heavy Indian accents rang me claiming to be from Sky, going on about hackers messing with my WiFi and loads of mistakes that supposedly needed fixing. They asked to share my screen, which immediately set off alarm bells - no legit company would do that, right? Then they tried to check my Amazon and bank accounts, so I just ended the call. They kept blowing up my phone, but luckily my dad put a stop to it by giving them a piece of his mind when they called last.IndiaSkyAmazon5 yearsthey just ended call right away5 yearsSomebody rang me pretending they were from Sky, but honestly, it didn’t sound convincing at all.Sky5 yearsSo this guy calls and just as I answer, he says he's Lucifer from Virgin Media then just cuts off the call. Weirdest thing!LuciferVirgin Media5 yearsGot a call a minute ago claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse with an amazing offer on an iPhone. Sounded a bit fishy to me.Carphone Warehouse5 yearsClaimed to be from Virgin Media, but the voice on the other end had a very thick Indian accent yet was using a very typical English name. I reckon they assumed that a common name would make me less cautious! 🤷♂️ They mentioned there was an engineer nearby, saying someone was supposedly tapping into our internet illegally, and requested if I could have a look at my router for a blinking light. I try to keep them talking for as long as I can, but when I replied that everything seemed fine, they abruptly ended the call.Virgin Media5 yearsReceived a call on my home number from a woman’s voice, but there was a cacophony of chatter in the background, sounding like a bustling call centre. Unfortunately, she was drowned out by the noise, so she ended up hanging up before we could have a proper conversation.5 yearsI got two calls in a single day-each time when I answered, I stayed quiet, and then the call just dropped. Rather peculiar, if you ask me!5 yearsI received a rather dubious call from this number, purporting to be from Virgin Media, alleging there was an issue with my internet connection. I expressed my bewilderment that Virgin Media would know about any troubles since they aren’t my service provider. The caller insisted I must have misunderstood, claiming they were actually from BT Openreach. They then requested that I install Teamviewer Quick Support on my iPhone. With nothing pressing on my schedule, I decided to humour them for a bit. After ten minutes of watching it fail to load, I eventually admitted I was merely toying with their time, much like they had with mine. At that point, the rather irate gentleman, who had an accent reminiscent of India, resorted to calling me a f***ing cow and told me to go to hell!Virgin MediaBT OpenreachIndia5 yearsI received a call on my home phone from this number, 0198059432. When I picked up, there was a woman on the other end who sounded rather taken aback. Before I could say much, she just hung up. Quite peculiar, really! I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.5 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from VirginMedia, insisting that my router had unauthorised users linked to it. I decided to turn the tables and wasted their time just as they had mine-kept them on the line while I pretended to 'fetch my laptop'...VirginMedia5 yearsI encountered a rather strange situation today-twice, in fact! There was quite a ruckus in the background, yet not a single soul uttered a word. Very peculiar indeed!5 yearsWhat are they up to, then?5 yearsWhat is it that they hope to accomplish?5 yearsI've received the same phone call a staggering five times a day for the past week, including once again this afternoon from the number 01980 594321. It's starting to really get on my nerves! I'd strongly advise reporting it to the Virgin Media fraud hotline without delay. The callers, both men and women, have distinctive Indian accents. They claim that there's a problem with your internet speeds because you've got too many browsers open-which is utter nonsense, as any application usage is dictated by your device’s RAM. If you listen closely, you can also pick up other voices in the background claiming to be from Amazon, eBay, Virgin Media, and banks like Lloyds, TSB, and NatWest. Their tactic seems to be to keep you on the line as long as they can, bombarding you with nonsense in an attempt to extract personal information. It seems to be an intentional ploy to target the elderly, so do stay vigilant!Virgin MediaAmazoneBayLloydsTSBNatWest5 yearsI've received a handful of calls from this number, and I can't quite fathom the reason behind them.5 yearsWhy not give a good honk down the line with a whistle? It might just do the trick!5 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from V.media, alleging that there was some dodgy behaviour on my internet connection. The chap had an English-sounding name like 'Alan', but his accent was definitely Indian. It raised a few red flags for me!V.AlanSubmit Your Own Report (01980 594321)
