This afternoon Virgin Media Customer Care in Sheffield called me back and stated that yes, the Phorm deal was seen as potentially damaging to the Virgin brand, and also unequivocally that Virgin Media were not going to do business with Phorm.
Should I believe them?

Call them back and ask them to confirm in writing what they have told you.

Everything seemed to be ok until they started speaking to each other in Russian and moving towards my 2yr old son who ran to hide behind my legs, screaming "Daddy Daddy!!"
I asked to look at their IDs more closely and upon inspection noticed that the photos had been attached with Bluetac. They realised I had sussed something was wrong and explained they were with a Rusian "business" group and that their investors were concerned about a man in the UK called Alexander Hanff who is making a lot of noise over the deployment of Phorm technology throughout UK ISPs. They indicated that it would be in the best interests of myself and my family if I was to shut up on the issue otherwise less "nice" men might pay us a second visit.
