Sky Scam

[James]

Anyone had someone calling to ask:

'I'm calling from sky to check your sky box is working fine'

It sounded dodgy so i asked who they were trying to contact and they just put the phone down. It happened on another of our numbers too earlier on this morning (both land lines).

Must be a scam, i'm sure you're all savvy on here but just thought i'd mention it..

Yep, I had one of them, phoned sky up to tell them about it and they passed it round the office there.

This "IS" a scam...We had the same thing 4 days ago trying to check our interactive features on our sky box ... we don't have sky!!

Cheers for the heads up, haven’t had that one.

Did have someone phoning last week giving my correct name and address then saying; “they understand I’m having some problems with my computer and they were from tech support” (I’m not, and I build my own pcs so don’t use tech support). Seems like a line to get account info to me.

Thanks for the heads up!

I've had people phoning up offering me a policy to cover any repairs to my sky system asking for £6.99 a month and could they take my banks details to start the policy running.

Needless to say, I just laughed
