Explain where it was mentioned that any police time was wasted and by whom? I bet Virgin staff would jump for joy more when you stop stealing Virgin Media services as yoy have admitted to and putting their livelihoods in difficulty.

They can also give out random numbers to fool the anonymous caller systems. As you can see they can cover every number. They can also do the same for mobile numbers as well. The area codes for the uk are freely available on the internet and you can bet they share them from centre to centre. So just because you suddenly start getting calls does not mean your number has been found from a hack of a server but it could be because someone is using a dialer and software

Yes, i've read that they do this. The calls started about the time of the data breach, but you're right, it might not have been due to the data breach itself. Nevertheless, the data breach caused me unneccesary upset and worry when I received these calls.
