Hi, i see on the virgin media website they are offering thirty pounds to new sign ups who are referred by someone, all they require is a name and e mail address. If anyone is up for getting thirty pounds off there virgin media package then do this with a friend who has virgin already or e mail me your name and e mail address. by the way virgin on demand is amazing
thanks hope to hear from you

Even without that, www.liverpool, it's still a dodgy bit of original posting isn't it? Wink

Its not that, DELBOTRON - all those phishing emails from Banks and the scams from Nigeria absolutely insist they're kosher. They're just not, that's all.

The only people who know this are those who are already sceptics, and those who fell for it and found out the hard way.

Anything like this is always going to look very fishy... and Virgin probably didn't intend the offer to be used like this. It has always been for introducing friends, not strangers someone picked up at the bus depot Wink

I called virgin media and inquired about the deal they had online where if you sign up you get £50 cash back.I was told it was online but they could give it to me over the phone if I decide to go for it..His name was Mathew btw.He agreed to give me all services including phone rental for £24/month which I use to pay before I ended my previous contract.
I was very happy but then came the surprise-

GOT NO CASH BACK
FIRST BILL CAME AS A WHACKING £62 where I never made any call or have not been charged for anything extra..

I called them and explained the situation and guess what, they said that it's gone 28 days now and I can't end my contract!! I was really angry and said that your colleague mentioned about the £50 cash back , he replied that it was for online customers only and this deal is not on my contract that I have taken.

This was my 2nd rip off, now here is from Tmobile:

Took a deal where it says unlimited mobile broadband and guess what, once you exceed 5gb usage they slow down your speed to a max of 64kbps!! Now imagine what is the average speed of this service!!!
