Virgin Media Community

I received an automated phone call this morning, stating that my virginmedia router will be switched off this afternoon,  I was given the choice to press number options after message,  I terminated the phone call because I thought it was dodgy, the telephone number is 01353695912,

You correctly spotted a scam call and took the correct action by terminating the call. There are many such variants on the same kind of theme going around at the moment.

If you do a search on the VM 'Home Phone' forum board you will find lots of similar examples. Further info. and advice is available on the government website below.
