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.

448001836403 Harassment Call Virgin Media (scam)

They first called yesterday, claiming to be from Virgin Media. The caller, who was from India, asked me to verify my information, which led me to hang up and block the number. They have since called me from four different numbers, all of which I blocked, and now they're even calling my landline. Such a nuisance!
