Said they were from sky technical department and had detected multiple hackers on my wifi. Asked me to list the devices I had in the house (I didn’t) then asked me to get one so they could talk me through what to do to ‘secure’ my internet. I requested they send details by email to confirm then ended the call - no email received and nothing on my sky account
