    woman with foreign accent (?Philippines?) talking very fast wants me to tell her my name address and postcode. When I asked her, several times, to say who she was and why she was calling, claimed to be from Virgin Media, I have no way of knowing if this is true. I said she already had my address (but wouldn;t say what it was) and wanted me to confirm it. Asked for my date of birth, I said "what do you want that for" and she said shealready had it so I didn't say. That is all very aggressive and suspicious. Said they would install a new TV decoder box for me free of charge. I did not provide any account details and did not agree to pay anything. This is just the sort of call that a scammer or fraudster would make. I am expected to let somebody into my house after that call. very poor practice from Virgin (if it really is them, how would I know?)

    Very rude sales people calling from India, they ask you to give out personal information to confirm your account and when you question who they are they get very rude and then hang up on you. Totally unprofessional and rude, block this number!

    constant calls, several a week claiming to be Virgin Media, sounds like the Philippines, despite telling them not to call me, they keep calling back under a new number every time.

    08000521251.Constantly ringing me with bullish attitude. Gets cross when I don't answer his questions.
    I have tried blocking this number but it keeps getting through.
    Foreign speaking with heavy accent.
    Virgin have confirmed this is nothing to do with them.
    It is a scam ultimately to scam you.
    Absolutely no principles.

    Claim to be from Virgin Media, have all my preferences set to no marketing calls, ironic these calls are starting after a recent complaint was dealt with by CISAS and VM compensated me £300 for mis-selling. Number now blocked.

    Received a call with an asian sounding lady on the other end. As a "Virgin Media VIP" and that i was entitled to "special offers". Asked if the offers could be sent to me by email to review at leisure. Strangely, they could only be discussed over the phone. Lady quickly lost interest when i made it clear that i wasn't going to be agreeing to anything by a random call. If Virgin Media are promoting these calls, I'll be sending a VIP email to them....!

    Fast talking woman with what I assume is a Philippino accent. Had sufficient info for me to believe they really were from Virgin, "sold" me a new box, two house phones, and doubled my broadband speed for nothing. Not even an activation fee.

    Kept calling on my mobile. Speak very fast and claim to be from Virgin Media. Basically trying to sell upgrades to TV and mobile contracts. I've done my research and it appears that they ARE acting on behalf of Virgin media but just have very heavy sales tactics. I've now blocked them via my marketing preferences.

    I keep finding missed calls from this number and looked it up. Virgin Media recently sent me a new sim card to future-proof the phone for network upgrades. I haven't got around to using it as I haven't had time to copy my address book off it. So when I saw it was Virgin I thought it might be something to do with that. However, people are saying on various sites that it is aggressive marketing. I am on a very cheap rate which they have this year increased slightly and is still a good deal but if they try to persuade me to upgrade to a much dearer one I'll be telling them "thanks but no thanks"
