Virgin Media Scam Text - Technician Visit and £25 Charge

The fake Virgin Media text below, which claims a technician will visit and a charge will be added to the recipients' next bill, is a scam. The scam text was sent to me although I do not have Virgin. Recipients are asked not to respond to the scam and should only contact Virgin via their legitimate channels.
