Text scam or genuine?

[Anonymous]

Hi 

I did speak to Virgin Mobile today. Still surprised though to receive this text from a mobile, but I did  respond assuming it was genuine.. However, afterwards did an online check of the number, and found on google people say it was a scam. 

Would Virgin Mobile send a text out like this after a call?

Hi (my name) thank you for calling Virgin Media, you spoke with (person I potentially spoke with). Based on this interaction how likely are you to recommend Virgin Media? Please reply with a score from 0 (Not Likely) to 10 (Very Likely). Msg & data rates may apply, text STOP to unsubscribe.

.....

If we were to reward XXX, what would you like us to give them? Please reply with 1 (large reward), 2 (medium reward), 3 (small reward) or 4 (no reward).

Thanks!

Seems like usual feedback after a call being handled by a customer service representative, however, to be on the safe side, you do not have to respond. Ignore it as you see fit, there is no harm in doing so.

I’ve received these feedback texts after calling various companies incl VM so are normal.

Hi @Anonymous

Thank you for your post and welcome to our community.

Could you please advise the number that texted you?

It sounds genuine as it hasn't asked for any details or asked you to click any links but we would be happy to check with the number for you 🙂

Please pop back to us when you can.

Who called me says the number is a 3 network number & has been reported for survey scams.

Hi SelkieLassie,

Thanks for coming back to us. This is a genuine number from Virgin Mobile number, once we have dealt with a customer’s query, we then send them a text messaging asking how we did.

This is for feedback purposes only and is not compulsory to answer.

Kind regards Jodi.

Hi Jodi,

I had the same text just now, from the number ending 323 - claiming I spoke to JHUNREY - I haven't called VM for months.

Should I be concerned? Has someone called claiming to be me ?

Thanks.
