Keeps calling at random times, rings a couple of times then disconnects. Nuisance.

User reported 0800 052 1251 as Harassing

Virgin Media promotion calls, keep calling even after saying not interested.

just had a call saying they were virgin media asking for personal information I put the phone down when she started asking for my full address

Seemed very dodgy. They called me and asked to speak to me. Didn’t state who they were until I asked. Claimed to be virgin media and saying that they wanted to look at my renewal. I’ve not long joined and knew I wasn’t due a renewal

Seem to be Virgin Media but then they ask for details which they should already have. They say they want to check I'm on the best deal (when I only recently renewed) but they are actually pushing an upgrade. Really bad marketing practice to make unsolicited calls like this!

I’ve had2 calls from this number over 2 days, want to check my contract to see if they can do better. No way . They put phone down when I said not interested. No politeness.
