Persistant calls from VM?

Question

OK, so, over the last few days, had repeated calls from a mobile numbers 07884434*** supposedly from VM. Recorded messages regarding problems with our VM services.

Both male and female recorded messages, and repeatedly calling, so beginning to get a bit fed up with them to be honest. (Yes, I am 'opted out' of marketing etc. )

Are these numbersw actually VM, or are they 'spoofed' or just some 'scammers' looking to catch us out.

Blocking 1 number, they phone on a similar one, (just the last 2-3 digits are different) so difficult to do them all.

Any chance Mods can check these please. If they are genuine VM, they shouldn't be calling, as we do not have marketing allowed in the account!!

VM's numbers are shown herehttps://www.virginmedia.com/the-edit/tech-and-connectivity/genuine-call-virgin-mediabut, even then, the possibility of a fake caller ID means you can assume nothing from the number alone.VM will not call you out of the blue about service issues. Text messages or emails are the norm for planned service outage announcements. An 07 number is highly likely to be a scam IMO.Trying to block numbers is pointless. The scammers will simply use a different fake number. You need to screen calls instead.https://www.truecall.co.uk/category-s/116.htm
