I had 15 calls in one month. Once they ask a confirmation question I hang up. Or ask how the weather is in scam land.

User reported 0800 052 8675 as Harassing

Numerous calls from this number - like others have reported - purporting to be VM - very annoying and persistent. Reported as spam via my phone.

Said they were from Virgin Media but I checked with Virgin and they had no record of calling me. FRAUDS.

User reported 0800 052 8675 as Harassing

They keep ringing me none stop. Told me it's virgin about my contact ending, it's still got months left so knew that was a lie. Hung up and they still keep ringing me so going to block them

Have called me every day for almost 2 months now. I picked up once (last week) and pretended that the line was cutting out when they asked me to confirm my address.. They claim to be for virgin media but I really doubt it, so haven’t answered since. It seems like some sort of scam for some type of ‘discount’

Claim to be Virgin. Asked for details to confirm acct. - did not give them anything. Told them to email me as they have the address. She wasn’t interested - just wanted details to access acct..

Continually get calls from this number. The woman claims to be from Virgin. On one occasion I told her to send the request to me by E Mail but heard nothing.

They don't give up

I had just renewed my virgin account for another 18mths. These people were stating that they were virgin media and they were going to give me faster broadband and extra 30 channels for just £12 extra a month. They talked for ages about the benefits and when I agreed that this was a good deal they then wanted me to confirm my bank details. I ended the call. Scammers and very sophisticated.

They are scammers.

They are scammers trying to extract information from you, and they might also have your name and phone number but will try and get extra information like your address by asking you to confirm the first line of your address and pretending to be legit. These scammers are getting really sophisticated, don’t give them any information even if they know your name!

They said they were from Virgin Media and said my subscription will expire in a few weeks and if I need to renew. My subscription is fine for a while longer so I knew that was a lie after I hung up and checked. The pressure of signing something was there and when I said I am busy they wanted to call me back another time. Didn't like that.
