Hello all, am not sure if this is the right place to put this thread. I have been getting lots of calls from this number and this is how the present on my phone.

+1-455-530-030


i have no idea who or what it is. when i google that number it shows no results. I bit concerned in case its a scam or something. also i tried to dial it once but my network provider (virgin) has it banned.

So please if any one has any idea what or where there number comes from please let me know.

many thanks

    Is it perhaps you are barred from international calls rather than Virgin having that specific number banned? If that was the case I'd expect it not to be able to call you.
