Virgin Media Community

Hi, preemptive apologies if the formatting messes up. 

I've been receiving obvious spam texts (double checked by reading these forums/google) from the same number I receive my legitimate virgin texts from.

I get my data rollover information, spending cap changes etc from "virgin media" but I've also been receiving spam in the same convo and idk what I can do other than mark the convo as spam... But it's not all spam. I'm just super confused as to how this has happened really. 

Has anyone else had this/knows anymore about it? 

TIA.

Yes. It's a common practice for them to spoof an actual number which tricks the messaging software that it is from a legitimate source.

They have been doing it recently with the NHS
