9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Virgin Media again - total scam, just blocked it!Virgin Media9 yearsI've been getting loads of calls every single day from someone pretending to be TalkTalk, saying there's a problem with my router. It got really annoying, and they even asked me to send a scanned copy of my driving licence to a dodgy email address, something like [email protected][###]gmx, claiming they needed it to sort it out. Totally fishy! The calls have been from 01216284397 and it’s obvious it’s a scam. Had to block the number because it never stopped ringing. This kind of thing is really risky!TalkTalk9 yearsThis number called me, but since I’d already blocked it, it just went straight to voicemail with no message left. Earlier in the week I picked up a call from them and quickly blocked it after the caller opened with “Google says your name’s Karen?” Which it isn’t, obviously. These scammers really need to be stopped. Thankfully, I don’t pick up any calls unless they’re saved in my contacts, but surely someone should do something about this.GoogleKaren9 yearsGot a scam call today from the very same number that called me yesterday. Both times, the people said they were from Virgin's support team. The first call came after I had contacted Virgin's tech support earlier on 24/1/18. This really feels like a security problem on Virgin's end, and they should sort it out fast. I’ve shared my story on the Virgin Media Community in the "Security Issues" section, and I’d tell others to do that too. Virgin have told me they’re looking into it, so fingers crossed they actually do something about it.VirginVirgin Media9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Virgin Media, saying there was an issue with our router that was just swapped out last week. I wasn’t fully alert at the time and followed through a fair bit before it clicked - how on earth did they know we’d just got a new router? That’s what made it seem legit to me. Feels like there’s someone connected to Virgin handing over these details and phone numbers.Virgin MediaVirgin9 yearsI rang Virgin Media about a problem with my router, and the person on the other end already knew all about the earlier engineer visits, which felt a bit odd. I mentioned I’d call back on their official Virgin number to double-check, but then he just dropped the call.Virgin MediaVirgin9 yearsGot a call supposedly from Virgin Media, but the accent gave it away straight away - definitely from India. They told me my internet was having problems. I questioned them about it and would you believe, they just ended the call every time. Typical scam stuff.Virgin MediaIndia9 yearsJust like many others, I’ve been getting calls from Indian men and women speaking English, claiming they’re from Virgin Media, checking on some problem with my broadband. It’s pretty clear they’re not genuine VM staff. When I call them out, they just cut me off straight away. I’ve already told the real Virgin Media about it before - the actual problem was fixed by their engineer who came round. Feels like someone inside the VM call centre might be leaking details to these fraudsters. I’m definitely planning to report this if possible.Virgin MediaVM9 yearsThis has got to stop, I reckon there’s someone on the inside or a sneaky way they’re getting Virgin’s info. Being quite tech savvy myself, I wasn’t fooled when a caller mentioned a problem I’d already reported the day before. I played along for a bit but hung up the moment they asked me to download software to fix it. I told them I’d ring Virgin back on 150 instead.Virgin9 yearsGot a call from 07829438172 claiming to be Virgin Media. They told me my engineer visit was cancelled - how on earth did they know that? Sounds just like the other stories here. Virgin haven't really done much about it either, just kept ignoring the whole thing.Virgin MediaVirgin9 yearsDefinitely not Virgin Media! I was proper creeped out because Virgin Media had just been round my place! This bloke wanted me to type some stuff into my laptop so he could get into my screen to "fix" my router. I told him no way unless he could prove he had the password for my account, then he just cut me off. They’ve also been ringing from this number before 07831 984391. Feels like someone inside Virgin is leaking details, there’s just no way it’s a coincidence.Virgin MediaVirgin9 yearsHad a really similar thing happen today - got a call from this number and someone claiming to be Sharon Martine from the “Virgin backend team”. She told me there’d been unauthorised access to my router and my data on devices was at risk. Seemed fishy straight away, so I hung up fast. What’s a bit creepy is that I’d actually spoken to Virgin for broadband support maybe an hour before. Makes me wonder if these scammers are listening in on Virgin’s tech support line or somehow getting info from inside the call centre.Sharon MartineVirgin9 yearsI had a problem with my internet and sorted it out, but then kept getting calls from some scam pretending to be Virgin. They called me like five times, proper annoying. I reckon someone’s leaking info because it’s too coincidental. I’ve told Virgin about it, and you can hit them up on Twitter too @virginmedia.VirginVirgin MediaTwitter9 yearsI got a call where they pretended to fix my internet or something, saying my router wasn’t up to scratch and that I could claim a £200 refund. Then they started telling me to do some techy stuff on my laptop, which sounded dodgy. Next thing, they wanted me to log into my bank account to 'check the refund', but obviously that’s when they’d nab your login info. Pretty clear scam trying to get your details.9 yearsSome bloke claiming to be from Virgin's 'backend team' called me about my router. I told him I wasn’t in and asked for a callback number, but he kept pushing, wanting to know when I’d be back. After I wouldn’t say it a couple of times, he just went silent and ended the call.Virgin9 yearsthis number rang me up sayin they was from virgin broadband, wanted to get remote access on me computer. they never really proved who they were tho so i did not let them in. watch out for this one.Virgin BroadbandSubmit Your Own Report (07829 438172)
