I was cautious when I received a call from this number on my mobile, partly because it started with +44, which is not my usual Virgin network prefix

Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why +448001836403 keeps popping up on your screen? The pattern points to a spoofed Virgin Media sales operation that most recipients flag as a scam. Callers typically claim you need a contract upgrade, a new box, or a special deal, then pressure you for personal details. The safest play is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number and add it to your carrier’s Do Not Call list. Verify any outreach by logging into your official Virgin Media account or calling the known customer‑service line. Never share passwords, addresses, or payment info with unsolicited callers, and report persistent offenders to the communications regulator.

Silent Call
The calls from this number are frequent, occurring twice daily, and the caller hangs up immediately after the call is answered, which is quite annoying.

Harassment Call
The calls from this number are non-stop, its bordering on harrassment, so i've blocked it now.
I've blocked this number, but they persist in calling twice daily, as evident from my blocked numbers list, which leads me to beleive it's not actually Virgin Media, as they would not harass customers in such a manner, having called me five times already.
Upon answering, the caller purported to be a representative from Virgin Media, inquiring to speak with an individual named Janet. After responding with 'wrong number' and terminating the call, it became apparent that this could have been a cold call, an honest mistake, or a phishing attempt, given that my number is not listed and I have no affiliation with Virgin Media.
An individual claiming to be from Virgin Media requested address information and hung up when declined, which is unprofessional behavior for an official representative.
