From sky wanted my email & a verification code. I informed them that my email would be on their screen so the didn’t like that. Then said they would be able to reduce bills for me & asked how much I paid a month. I said I didn’t know & they hung up!
Called pretending to be from Sky, asked about the service and then said they could reduce my monthly bill they just needed my email- advised I wasn't interested and hung up at that point.
A guy called saying he was calling from "the sky". He didn't appreciate the humour when I said I thought he was calling from Manchester. He then went to on ask if I was suffering any issues such as poor signal etc with my Sky service, so I told him I didn't have Sky service at which point he asked me to have a nice day and hung up. Whether this is at attempt to scam or an attempt at sales in not clear, but it is obviously dodgy is some way or another.
SOMEONE PRETENDING TO WORK FOR SKY PHONED ME AND WHEN I PHONED THE NUMBER THEY ANSWERED SAYING HELLO, NO MENTION THEY WORKED FOR SKY UNTIL I SAID I HAD A MISSED CALL, BLOCK THIS NUMBER, ITS A SCAM WAITING TO HAPPEN!
