Is this a genuine text from Virgin?

[Darrenski]

Unsolicited and no letter from Virgin re change as yet so is this genuine?

We'll send you an adapter(s) as you need to connect your home phone to the Virgin Media Hub so you can continue using it. Reply with ACCEPT to be switched over or with CALLBACK if you need help."

Without see the content of the Text we have no way of checking if it was from us, chances are it was a Phishing Text, you can find out more around dealing with Phishing mails/ Texts here.

[omgzhobbs]

Had this text also just now, same as others.  Vague as its just come from a random number without any mention of who its from. Googling it brought me here..

[Davros64]

Just got the same text message.

Googled the number led me here.

Also thought it was a competitor touting for business. (or some other scam)

I've just had exacty the same text from same no.  Googled it, found it was Virgin. Is Virgin unaware that not identifying who sends a text will result in few responses given the no. of scams on mobile phones?

Hey @Salamh,

Just had the below text, too

A quick google also pulled up a page on it being a scam number!!!

If, as a customer, we are supposed to call every company that we receive a text off (just to check if it’s real) I have 2 requests;

1. Make it so we can talk to someone within seconds of calling - not have to jump through 15 rounds of ‘press 1 for…’

2. Pay me a wage to do your work!

Dont send stupid messages by text. Anyone following this up is likely to be more complacent with the next one that they receive!

 And…

A letter is not a text…doh!
