I was searching for costs for a TV package upgrade and on the virgin media web site I had to put my number in to get to see the prices. Since then this number has called at least 4 times a day but leave no message. I suspect it is Virgin Media but the tactics are borderline harassment.

Even though I asked them many times not to call, they keep bothering me. It’s really annoying.
