Patterns in the reports reveal a persistent wave of unsolicited calls purporting to be from Virgin Media. Callers repeatedly use a fast‑talking Asian accent, claim to verify account details or offer bogus discounts, and often hang up when challenged. The hallmark signs are the vague greeting, request for personal data and the inability to provide a legitimate Virgin Media reference. Block the number through your handset and inform your provider’s spam‑filter. Register the number with the Telephone Preference Service and report persistent abuse to Ofcom or Action Fraud. Never disclose passwords or payment information over the phone; always verify the caller through official Virgin Media channels first – it’s a classic scam.

THE #### PHONE CALLER IS BACK WITH HIS IRRITATING CALLS AGAIN. I RECEIVED ONE ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AGO JUST AS I WAS HEADING TO THE BATHROOM, AND AFTERWARDS, I FLUSHED HIS DINNER DOWN THE DRAIN FOR HIM. HOPE HE ENJOYED THAT. BY THE WAY, I DIDN'T PICK UP TO BEGIN WITH, AS I NEVER DO. P.S. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST NEVER ANSWER THIS B_ _ _ _ _ _ S NUMBER. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!
Upon receiving the call from this number, I chose not to answer since it was unfamiliar, and as expected, no message was left.
Breathing could be heard from the caller, which I've experienced previously. They seem to try to gather personal data, so I recommend hanging up or blocking them if you're on a landline or mobile. I'm utterly tired of these calls!
User warns of bad experience and advises caution
Someone claiming to be from Virgin said I was a chosen customer for a better deal. They asked me to confirm the first line of my address, and I replied that I would prefer an email from Virgin verifying the call. She then said that they would likely just end the call, and hung up.
44 800 183 6416 seems part of a series of numbers (Virgin?). Previously, answering Virgin’s calls led to higher monthly bills. Now, I block all such numbers.
Be cautious of this number, as it claims to represent Virgin Media, warning of excessive data usage and offering upgraded plans, which is likely a ploy to extract personal information.
