Please note this number is NOT a scam and is from Virgin Media albeit from their Phillipines base. My package with VM runs out this month. The offer I have received is very good and I have received all documents from VM. Also, no details of bank or direct debit are requested as they have the information. Please remove reference to 'Negative' as VM customers are losing out on good deals being offered by not taking the calls.

Scammers knew my address, name and that my Virgin media contract was expiring on a particular date. Offered a new 3 times broadband speed and twice the number of tv channels only for £5 more a month. If I wanted to renew the same package as last time, the price was THE SAME!! Threatened to cancel my account , when I asked to be transferred to retention team. That’s when I knew that he was a scammer! Phoned proper Virgin on 150 , renewed my contract. Obviously the plan price has gone up since 18 months! They confirmed they DO NOT call existing customers!!!!

The caller wanted me to confirm my name. I didn’t hear clearly who was calling. When I said Pardon. The man hung up.

After multiple missed calls, I did actually answer this today. It definitely seemed to be a genuine call from Virgin Media (they confirmed details such as when my current discount is coming to an end) but it was a very heavy, very pushy sales call - trying to force me to "upgrade" my package to pay for for things that I do not want and do not need. Quite unpleasant and took nearly 20 minutes out of my evening!

The caller wanted me to confirm my name and then stated he was from virgin media, at which point I told him I knew he wasn't then I hung up as virgin media has told me before they do not contact customers they wait for you to contact them if you have problems

Caller repeated "hello" and hung up. Probably spam.
