Phone call from Virgin...

[crazyman3005]

Got a phonecall from Virgin the other day, asking to speak to the account holder, who in fact doesn't speak english, they refused to speak to me her son, and said that they will ring with someone who can speak her language, noone as of yet has rang, but I am just thinking is it in regards to the Eurovox or the account, no letter has been sent etc, so not sure really?

Am I being paranoid? And whats the worst that can happen, surely nothing 'MAJOR' ?

Only had the eurovox recently? <3 months?

i think your making something out of nothing here...

[cgscott]

Dont worry bout it. They have no way of telling you using a box. I have my original virgin box running as well as this gives talkback to them.

Which lets them know you are watching your subbed channels.

Running just your eurovox may cause suspicions and they may want to know why you aint watching your subbed telly.

On the other hand they may not as you are paying and thats all they are after.

[crazyman3005]

Ok fair do's, so nothing to worry about in that department, what is the worst that can happen though? Also, I guess it is best to try buy an old pace box and install it elsewhere in the house?

VM cannot tell if u r using any euro box on your line.
It prob just an account inquiry so stay calm. But just remember DENY EVERYTHING!

[caveman_nige]

you don't waana do that as it will talk back and if do not have a subscription to VM they will defo come asking questions...

[jumpinjo]

its normal pratice as you prob know that its gotta be account holder they talk too who can confirm and then let you do the talkin, its probably only one of there call centre workers wanting to offer you more shit and get more bucks from you

[crazyman3005]

I can get another box, as I pay ?16 a month, only want it for my free subscription (16 per month) for upstairs on a tv there....


If you phone Virgin for a new box, and report that you have error 8888 will they just send out a box or will they have someone come check your old one out?

Just a tad suspicious of a 'jealous' family member who possibly dobbed us in - But yeah the call centre worker couldn't speak english herself, so can't be that important, I heard you get a letter if they actually get suspicious about anything. is this right? So nothing to worry about until someone gets a letter right?

Just need to get a replacement box so I can give talkback from upstairs.

phone call dont mean $hit bud, even if they were at your door accusing you of using it they still cant come in unless foolish enough to let them so only way they gonna find out is if they get access and were shown

i had a new box installed upstairs and a new phone line installed yesterday with the deal mentioned earlier. did the guy say anything about my dreambox? no, why? cus he doesnt care!
