    I used to get them at every month end from people claiming to be Virgin Media. I have a Virgin Media broadband subscription, but they always had very poor english and would ask for my account password at the start of the call. odd.

    I have blocked the numbers now.


    If you are getting them on your mobile, maybe install the Truecaller app which will tell you who is calling, where possible.

    I've had the CPR Callblocker V108 for over 3 years now. Before that we were getting up to 15 scam/call centre calls per day, now, we maybe get 1 every 2-3 days or so.
    They still call (not as many though), you can see them on the phones calls log but they get blocked before the phone has chance to ring.

    It comes pre-programmed with know spam numbers, you can set it to block international, withheld (not recommended) certain area codes etc. Any others that get through, press a button and it gets blocked.

    well worth £33!
