Unknown Caller

Has been calling for over a month, leaving message to call on voicemail. Flaming nuisance call.

This number keeps calling me and when I answer they hang up. If I let it ring they access my voicemail but never leave a message. The number is blocked but they somehow get through the blocking system. I have found out through this site it’s virgin media. Not happy

They said they were from Virgin (who I'm with, but when I refused to confirm any of their question by answering - "well you phoned me!! Don't you know who you are calling!!" - They hung up. Also, someone with such a strong 'asian accent' is unlikely to have been named Mary???

If this is from Virgin Media, they have called me everyday for the past 3 days on my mobile. I have had a bad experience with Virgin Mobile regarding a contract which they changed the terms without mutual consent. Will never deal with them again. I do not answer calls where the caller is not known and if they want an answer it should show their name and not stay anonymous.
