I have just found the following numbers advertised as VM contact source numbers and I believe they are in breach of present OFCOM policy

0843 515 ****
0844 306 ****
0870 280 ****
0843 504 ****
0870 280 ****
0843 515 ****

All are points of contact for VM customers

None of those numbers are advertised by Virgin Media.

They are premium rate 'call connection services' run by a third party.

They simply forward calls and pocket the Service Charge element of the call cost.

It is essentially a third-party scam to catch the unwary.

Sky, Virgin Media, etc... I even once found one for a DWP number of all things!
