9 yearsWhat a total con! Seriously, steer clear of this one!9 yearsI keep receiving texts intended for my mum's Virgin account, which is really puzzling! She hasn’t had this phone number for a decade since she transferred the SIM to me. Just yesterday, I had a message from 08000522630, and now it’s 03444729304. What on earth is happening? Is this some kind of scam where folks are able to ring or send messages to someone by masking their actual phone number? I’d appreciate any guidance, as I’m rather in the dark about this situation!Virgin9 yearsIt has officially been established that AFS are indeed representing Virgin Media in their efforts to retrieve outstanding payments. So, it's very likely that the call you received was legitimate!AFSVirgin Media9 yearsI've received a message from Arvato, similar to the ones others have reported. It reads as follows: "Could Mr. S******* R***** please get in touch with Arvato by dialling 03444729304 and quoting reference 123635706? Our attempts to phone you on 11/03/2017 at 10:53:38 were unsuccessful. Cheers." What’s more, they keep switching the numbers around, claiming to be from Barclays and Virgin Media. To make matters worse, I've been bombarded with calls - eight of them from 6am until 12:02am - and I’ve just wrapped up a grueling 16-hour night shift. It’s beyond frustrating! π‘π‘π‘π‘Arvato. SBarclaysVirgin Media9 yearsGot 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.Virgin Media10 yearsI've never had any interactions with Virgin whatsoever. Initially, I deleted the message I received, but then thought to investigate AFS a bit further. Cheers to this website for validating my suspicions; it seems they're up to some sort of scam!VirginAFS10 yearsI got a message from what appeared to be Virgin Media, stating, "An important notice for Mr..... Please reach out to Virgin Media on 03444729304, mentioning reference number 73702104." I decided to have a chat with their online support, and they assured me that all my payments are current. I've gone ahead and blocked that number.Virgin Media....10 yearsReceived a rather curious call today from 03444729304, requesting me to provide a reference number, 898071303. On top of that, I’ve been pestered by a different number, 01619466013, claiming I owe them some dosh, but they weren't forthcoming with any specifics regarding my account. The odd thing is, I’m no longer even subscribed to Virgin Media...Virgin Media10 yearsI've recently spoken with Virgin Media, and they’ve verified that this is indeed a scam. Please refrain from engaging with them and make sure to report the incident to Virgin Media! Let's put a stop to these swindlers once and for all!Virgin Media10 yearsI've been receiving a message every day this week that goes something like, "Greetings, MRS*********. We have an important communication for you. Kindly phone AFS on behalf of Virgin Media at 03444729304 using the reference number 5970504." Honestly, if Virgin Media needs to get in touch, they can just send me a letter!AFSVirgin Media10 yearsAbsolutely chuffed with this site - big thanks to everyone who's shared their experiences! I do owe Virgin Media some dosh, but I'm contesting the figure. They initially insisted on £76, then it dropped to £68, and now it's down to £51. Since I'm no longer a customer of theirs, I've taken the plunge and opened a dispute through Resolver. I've had enough of jumping through hoops and wasting my precious time on hold with a business that claims to be a communications provider! Now I'm just waiting for either a deadlock letter or for eight weeks to roll by so I can escalate my issue to the regulator. As for AFS, I'm not fussed about them at all. Cheers for all the helpful details!Virgin MediaAFS10 yearsI received a rather odd automated message on my voicemail while I was at my job, prompting me to return the call with a specific reference number, assuring me that it wasn't a sales pitch. Strangely enough, a couple of hours later, I also got a text reiterating the same request. The timing is peculiar, especially since I settled my bill just yesterday, and thankfully, there were no overdue payments this time around! This sparked my curiosity about the outfit behind the message, so I decided to do a bit of digging. I'm relieved I stumbled upon this discussion; I think I shall now disregard their message completely.10 yearsI just got off the phone with Virgin Media using my landline, and it turns out that AFS is helping them out by managing the payments for customers who have fallen behind on their bills.Virgin MediaAFS10 yearsI got a call from Virgin Media on my landline, and apparently, AFS is helping them chase up folks who’ve fallen behind on their bills. Bit annoying but I guess they gotta do what they gotta do.Virgin MediaAFS10 yearsI've been inundated with calls, despite the fact that I sorted my Virgin Media account two months ago. When I asked for a record of my payment history, they claimed that they couldn’t provide it. I insisted on a reference number so I could ring 150 myself, but they weren't keen on that idea. Then, just the next day on 27th October 2016, I received another call on the landline. I cheekily told them I was a 12-year-old lad sharing the same name as my father. They insisted that I had an outstanding balance of £288.19 and suggested I should pay it immediately. I thought it rather absurd and replied that I should just whip out my dad's bank card for that. To my surprise, they said that would be fine. Fast forward to today, 28th October 2016, my bill stands at £82.50 for the month, which I settled earlier. Yet, I received another call at 16:45 stating that I now owe a staggering £370.69. It feels like someone inside Virgin Media is feeding them dodgy figures with my account details!Virgin Media10 yearsDon’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.Virgin MediaOfcom10 yearsMy daughter has received the same message three times now, claiming to be from Virgin Media. I’m really relieved that I stumbled upon this site, as I immediately rang her up to advise against responding. It’s appalling how these individuals, with absolutely no morals, find joy in toying with others’ emotions. The number they keep using is 03444729304, and they even sent her a reference number for her to get in touch with them. I hope this information proves useful to everyone else here!Virgin Media10 yearsDear Miss xxxxx, Your attention is required! Kindly get in touch with AFS, representing Virgin Media, at the number 03444729304. When you do, please have your reference number 8860176134 handy, as others have received a similar notification. Thank you!AFSVirgin Media10 yearsToday, I received a rather suspicious text claiming to be from VM. I reached out to them, only to be told that there’s no record of any such interaction on my account. To add to my concerns, I got a call from an 0845 number about my bill, which raised even more red flags. I've gone ahead and changed my account password, as I’m quite anxious about how these individuals managed to access my information.10 yearsClearly a bunch of scammers! Just go ahead and block this number! I've been faced with the same incessant bother as others have noted here. If Virgin Media genuinely believed you were in debt, they'd send you a proper letter before taking any further steps. Make sure to report this number to Ofcom!Virgin MediaOfcom10 yearsI've received the identical message as all the others, but I’m baffled as to how they managed to acquire my Virgin account number. It was actually mentioned in the text I got.10 yearsMy Virgin Media account is all current, but I’ve just received the same message again today. It’s making me wonder if Virgin Media has suffered a hack or possibly a data leak. Seems a bit suspicious, doesn't it?Virgin Media10 yearsI've been receiving messages urging me to contact AFS in relation to my Virgin account, but I haven't been with Virgin for the last eight months. Curiously, when I reached out to Virgin, they claimed not to have any knowledge of AFS. Seems rather fishy to me-definitely feels like some sort of scam!AFSVirgin10 yearsI've just had a peculiar message from AFS, supposedly representing Virgin Media, urging me to ring 03444729304. The thing is, I don’t have any dealings with Virgin Media, so I'm convinced it's a scam that's making the rounds. If you get something similar, best not to engage-simply disregard it and let time take care of it. I've even arranged for my mobile to block international calls and marketing texts, though it does take a little while for those pesky advertising messages to cease. If you're in the same boat, just contact your mobile provider for assistance!AFSVirgin Media10 yearsI've ensured that my account details are current, and I've also received a message from AFS, representing Virgin Media.AFSVirgin Media10 yearsI've received a message and a voicemail from this number recently. After going through the comments here, I decided to give V.M a ring. Strangely enough, they seem to have no clue who these people are. I'm contemplating giving them another call in a few days to dig deeper into the matter. Of course, I plan to withhold as much personal information from them as I can. I'll make sure to share any useful updates here once I have them.V.M10 yearsReceived a second message in just two days. I found it rather odd that VM would employ a different company to get in touch with me. Decided to check this site and I'm relieved I didn’t reply to that!VM10 yearsI’ve been keeping all my bills current, yet for the past week, I've been receiving one or two messages daily. It’s left me quite baffled, to be honest!10 yearsFor the past week or so, I've been receiving this text message on a regular basis-almost daily, in fact. When I reached out to Virgin Media for some clarity, they were completely stumped by the name AFS! What on earth is going on?Virgin MediaAFS10 yearsAbsolutely, my payments are all current, so there’s really no justification for anyone apart from Virgin to drop me a message.Virgin10 yearsI've recently received a text from this number. I've just cleared my bill, so I'm going to disregard this contact.10 yearsI’ve just got a message from some number linked to 'asf', asking me to call them about my Virgin account. Could it be a scam?Virgin10 yearsI've been getting texts urging me to reach out to AFS. I haven't responded because, in my experience, VM always gets in touch directly. Yet, this is now the third message I've seen in just three days!AFSVM10 yearsI've received messages for four consecutive days now. Just had a call from AFS, representing Virgin Media.AFSVirgin Media10 yearsI recently received a text purporting to be from Virgin Media, urging me to ring the number provided. However, after contacting Virgin directly, they confirmed there's no basis for the message I received. Quite odd, if you ask me!Virgin MediaVirgin10 yearsIt appears that the message purports to be from AFS on behalf of Virgin Media, but the account name mentioned doesn't match up. This strikes me as a potential scam, especially with the use of the 03444 number which seems designed to fleece unsuspecting individuals. Typically, Virgin Media operates with either toll-free numbers or advises customers to ring 150, which doesn't incur any charges either.
