This number calls me at least twice a day, sometimes on my mobile too, I do not answer the phone as it would normally go to answer phone, but the caller never ever leaves a message, I really don't know who they are as I never actually answer thinking that if it is a genuine call they would leave a message

This number rings me two or three times a day, every single day. I never answer and still don’t know who it is, but it’s driving me mad.

Female caller said she was from a warranty service asking about renewing Sky equipment coverage. Asked for account details which felt off.

Claimed to be from Virgin Media, but I doubt it. Why can’t they stop these calls? Kept pushing for account details, blocked.
