Called asking if I lived on Slag Lane then hung up. Very strange behaviour for Virgin Media

reported 0800 052 0557 as Harassing
Phoned me 3 times twice I answered, claimed to be from virgin media. Hung up the phone pretty quickly when I answered pretending to be from domino’s pizza. Phone says scam call

As mentioned elsewhere, it is a legitimate number for Virgin Media. Received multiple calls whilst having new services in online basket. Wouldn't say were overly pushy, and they took opportunity to suggest add-ons at much cheaper price than advertised online, not that I took them up on it.

Constantly calling - if it was important they’d leave a voicemail explaining what they want and to call back.
