Why are you calling my mobile, and continually I answer and there is no-one there to speak to me. I feel a fine coming your way soon, OFCOM.

How are you sure this is Virgin calling you?
Sounds like scammers to me. They use robo-diallers to call potential victims & see whether a number gets a response. These calls are nearly always silent if you respond.
These calls are normally restricted to landlines, but recently more & more mobiles are suffering the same calls.
The numbers used are fake, & are either non-existant or cloned from genuine businesses & customers.
I'm a Very Insightful Person, I'm here to share knowledge, I don't work for Virgin Media. Learn more

Hi @summersby,
Welcome back to our Community Forums! Thank you for your post and I'm sorry to hear that you've been contacted by some fraud calls!
Would you be able to tell us what numbers are calling you and we will be able to check if these are Virgin Media team numbers.
If these calls are coming through on your Mobile, you can always block them and they will not be able to contact you through that number.
You can always check what your Marketing preferences are set at on your Online Account to see if you've opted out of Marketing calls.
Keep us updated if you can.
Thanks! 🙂

The number is listed as a Virgin number. It could be a scammed i.d. number, but how can you tell if there is never anyone there when you answer! I have a Virgin Media package, but NOT Virgin Mobile, but still getting the calls on my mobile. I did spend 40 years in Telecommunications and Mobile engineering.
