It seems like +44281030821 is a scam number, often impersonating Virgin Money to trick people into divulging sensitive information. Users report calls and texts about suspicious transactions and security questions, only to find out later that their banks had no record of these communications. Some have even experienced attempted unauthorised transactions after receiving these calls. If you get a call from this number, don’t engage. Hang up and contact your bank directly using a verified number. Stay vigilant and never share personal details over the phone, especially if you didn’t initiate the call.
Initially received a text referencing the last four digits of my account, claiming a £0.34 payment to NSACI at 19:13. I declined, and a call from this number followed. Placed on hold, I hung up. The text arrived at 19:14.
Got a voicemail from this number, purporting to be Virgin Money's Fraud team, mentioning possible fraudulent activity on my account. Earlier, I had attempted to buy a dog coat online and was redirected to my bank for authorisation, but the transaction failed. Before calling back, I tried reaching Virgin Money Fraud Team using a known customer service number, but they were closed on Sunday. Assuming it was a scam, I decided to contact my bank the next day and blocked the suspicious number.

I have received multiple calls from this number, and on the occasions when I have managed to speak with an individual, their accent has been so pronounced that communication has been impossible. Furthermore, they have requested information that they should already possess if their intentions were genuine. The entire experience has been peculiar, and I have chosen to terminate the calls.
