Calls every single day and says the pitch so fast you can’t even talk. They constantly want to talk about “reviewing” the contract only after being with XXXXXX media a few months and when you tell them no they continue to push and call constantly. When I ask to be taken off the call list they laughed. Getting sick of it

Had similar call yesterday, Despite apparently having my account in front of him, The caller wanted to know my address as a security measure. As the call was on my landline it seemed ridiculous for someone to say they needed my address to make sure they were talking to me. And caller very similar to a definite scam 18 months ago. Virgin email or write to me for everything else so still not convinced it is kosher.

It's a scam, They knew a lot of our details from virgin. They told us that we had used 840G of broadband data and started to ask rather personal questions so we told that we will hang up and call virgin back ourselves. They wasn't happy and tried to keep us on the line. We hung up and rang virgin ourselves. We explained what happened and gave the number that they rang on. Virgin confirmed that it wasn't one of their numbers and are looking into it.
