Excessive amount of spam calls from VM

Every. Single. Day. Without fail, I'll get phone calls from what I can only assume is an Indian call centre saying they are from Virgin Media and how they can offer me new deals on my virgin tv/broadband/mobile... I tell them to take me off their list, that I am not interested. They don't even reply and just hang up. Then call me back the next day. I block the numbers, and they just call back under a different number.

Numbers are: 0800 183 6411 - twice in one day

0800 183 6416

0800 183 6403

How do I stop them from calling? Do I need to leave Virgin Media, because this is beyond a joke now.

Hey KatCo, 

 

Really sorry to hear about the calls you've been getting from the team - especially after you asking for them to stop. If you log into your online account under your preferences you're able to change it to a no contact option - is this something you've been able to do? 

 

Cheers, 

Ryan. 

Just checked and I opted out years ago however I'm still getting calls

Is that on both your online accounts if you have media and mobile services? 

 

Cheers, 

Ryan.

It may not be VM themselves, but a scammer pretending to be from them.  Call up enough people and say you're calling from VM, sooner or later you'll hit someone who actually is a subscriber - and of those, you can persuade a few to give you a credit card number or sign up to something and then it's scammer payday.

I get them in phases - 'I'm calling from Virgin Media', 'I'm calling from BT', 'your income tax is overdue', 'your computer has a virus', and so on.  Parasites, the lot of them.
