For some reason, I’m getting texts about my mum’s Virgin account, but she hasn’t used this number for over a decade since she gave me her old SIM. The messages come from various numbers, asking her to call different contacts. Just yesterday, the number was 08000522630, and today it changed to 03444729304. I’m a bit lost here - can anyone explain what’s happening? Is this one of those scams where fraudsters ring or message pretending to be from random phone numbers? Really need some advice!

I found out recently that AFS actually handle debt recovery for Virgin Media, so it's pretty likely that the call you got was legitimate!

Got a message from someone calling themselves ARVATO, same as what others got in a text. It said Mr S******* R***** needs to ring Arvato on 03444729304 with ref 123635706. They said they tried ringing on 11/03/2017 at 10:53, or something like that. They keep switching numbers too, pretending to be from Barclays or Virgin Media. I got 8 calls between 6am and midnight, and I’ve just finished a 16 hour night shift. Absolutely frustrating! 😑😑😑

Got a message telling me to ring a number with a reference code, saying it was from Virgin Media. I checked out the reviews here first, then called Virgin Media using the official number on my landline. Turns out that number is listed as a scam on their system. So please don’t call it, they’re probably trying to steal your account details.

I've never dealt with Virgin at all. At first, I just deleted the message, but then got curious and searched AFS online. Thanks to this website, I’m now sure they’re up to no good and probably running some kind of scam.

Got a text from someone saying it was Virgin Media, something about an important message for me and to ring 03444729304 with ref 73702104. I decided to check with Virgin Media through their online chat and they told me all my bills are paid. So, I've just gone ahead and blocked that number now.

Today I got a call from 03444729304 asking me to provide a quote for 898071303. Also, I had calls from 01619466013 telling me I supposedly owe money, but they gave hardly any info about the account. The odd thing is, I don’t even have an account with Virgin Media anymore...

I’ve been getting a message every single day this week saying something like "Important notice for Mrs *********. Please ring AFS for Virgin Media at 03444729304 and mention reference 5970504." Honestly, if Virgin Media needs to get in touch, they can just send me a letter like they usually do!

Really grateful for this website and everyone's comments. I do have an outstanding balance with Virgin Media, but I'm challenging the figure. Originally, they wanted £76, then it dropped to £68, and now it’s down to £51. I’m not with Virgin Media anymore. I've filed a complaint through Resolver because I’m fed up with wasting time on the phone trying to get hold of a telecom company. Now I’m just waiting either for a deadlock letter or the eight weeks to pass so I can escalate the issue to the regulator. Anyone know what AFS is? Honestly, I couldn’t care less. Cheers for the heads up.

Got a voicemail at work from some automated system telling me to ring them back with a reference number, said it wasn’t about sales or anything. Then a few hours later I got a text with the exact same message. I actually paid my bill just yesterday, so it definitely wasn’t overdue this time! Figured I’d look into who they were, and stumbled on this thread. Good to know, I’m just going to give their request a miss now.

I called Virgin Media from my landline earlier, and it seems AFS is helping Virgin Media chase up customers who haven't settled their bills in a while.

They keep ringing me even tho I cleared my Vodafone bill two months ago. When I asked for a payment history, they told me Vodafone doesn’t provide that. I asked if they had a Vodafone reference number so I could phone 150 from my own phone, but they said they couldn’t give me that. I said no thanks. Then the next day, on 27/10/2016, they called my landline. I told them I was a 12 year old lad, but they insisted I was the same name as my dad. They claimed I owed £288.19 and wanted the money immediately. I told them I’d just use my dad’s bank card, and they agreed. My Vodafone bill today, 28/10/2016, was actually £82.50 for the month, and I paid it today. But then they rang at 4:45pm claiming I now owed £370.69?! Someone inside Vodafone must be leaking info because they keep coming up with these random account figures. Very fishy!

Don’t bother ringing this number back - it’s a dodgy one pretending to chase debts for Virgin Media. Best thing is just report it straight to Ofcom.

My daughter got the exact same message sent three times, saying they were from Virgin Media. Luckily, I found this site before she replied. I told her to ignore it straight away. It’s really sad how some people spend their time trying to scam or confuse innocent folks. The number they used was 03444729304 and they even gave her a reference number to call back. I hope this info helps others seeing this thread.

If you’re MISS xxxxx, there’s a message from Virgin Media you need to hear. They want you to ring AFS at 03444729304 and mention reference number 8860176134. Loads of others have got this same message too.

Today I got a message claiming to be from VM, saying they were sorting something out for me. When I reached out to Virgin Media directly, they told me there was no record of anything on my account. I also got a call from an 0845 number asking about my bill. Feeling uneasy, I’ve changed my account password - it’s really concerning how these scammers even get hold of our info!

Deleted the number straight away! Been getting the same annoying calls like others here mention. If Virgin Media reckon you owe cash, they'll send a letter first, not just ring nonstop. Best to report the number to Ofcom so they can sort it out.

My voicemail is all sorted and up to date but I still got that exact message today. Could be Virgin Media had some sort of hack or maybe their data got leaked? Seems a bit fishy to me.

I've been getting texts telling me to ring AFS about my Virgin account, but I left Virgin like 8 months back. Virgin themselves have no clue who AFS even is, so to me, it sounds like one of those dodgy scams.

Got a strange message from AFS saying it was for Virgin Media, asking me to ring 03444729304. I’m not with Virgin Media at all, so I reckon it’s some kind of scam going around. Best to just ignore it and not reply, fingers crossed it disappears eventually. I've set my phone to block international calls and texts plus marketing messages, but it still takes a while to fully block all the spam. If you're getting these too, give your network provider a shout to sort it out.

Got a voicemail and a text off these folks recently, and after seeing what others said here, I reached out to V.M., but they had no clue about it either. I’m thinking of giving them a ring in a couple of days to get to the bottom of it. Of course, I’ll be careful not to give away any of my personal info. I’ll update this thread if I find anything useful.

Got a text saying it was from AFS representing Virgin Media, but the account name didn’t match up at all. Feels like a scam to me, especially with the 03444 number trying to get money. Virgin Media usually sticks to free phone numbers or tells you to ring 150, which doesn’t cost a thing. Definitely suspicious!
