It's a scam, and it probably originates offshore. There probably is more that VM could do if pressed - you could involve the police, for example, if you suspected a crime. VM would have to dance to their tune then.

However all I would do is simply decline the call at the point they claim to have 'received information' and wish to offer a 'fix'. IMO that sounds like a sales or marketing call, and I don't take those even if they're legitimate. If a withheld number calls our line after about 6.30pm we don't normally answer it at all.
