Not sure why they'd ask for a cardholder? Does sound a little strange.

Re: suspect phone call

It will probably be 02071521039 or 02070594000, these numbers keep constanly phoning my mobile (which is on the three network btw) and my virgin media landline, i have never answered any of the calls, but a quick search on who rings me says that these numbers are from people stating they are virgin media, then asking for account details.
