Smelling a rat, I asked her to prove who she was, and then asked her to send me an email to the account I'd provided on the application confirming her request.
This email has not arrived, and I conclude that I have (luckily) averted a fraudulent attack on my bank account!

I hope this hasn't happened to anyone else, but BE WARNED!

I'd contact Virgin if they had an email address to send to!
Call in on 150 or 0845 454 1111 and speak to someone and they will confirm if a member of staff called you or not, better to be sure or just assume the worst.
