Got a call from 01256 588553 on 2nd March at about 9.05 in the morning. My mobile automatically blocked it thinking it was suspicious. After checking out the reviews here, I’m pretty relieved it didn’t go through.

This number 0125658855 kept calling me, really pushy and even threatening about fees for cancelling some TV cover. Thing is, I never had any insurance on our old telly!

i got a call from some lot saying they were from sky or sommat, but when i told em we aint got sky, he got really rude. he started saying it was about a service contract on our tv tho. i told him we don’t even own a telly and then he got all snappy, saying it’d cost us to end this contract we supposedly have. asked him for his number and the details about the telly he reckons we insured. then he just hung up right on me. what a muppet.

I just got a ring from these people, sounded like a bloke with an Indian accent. Kind of like what others have mentioned here.

Got a missed call from this number earlier but they didn’t leave any voicemail. I’m a bit wary to ring it back since it’s an unknown caller - feels like one of those robocalls just checking if the line’s live. Has anyone else picked up when this number rang? Curious who it could be!

I received a call today from someone purporting to be Marshall with Sky Maintenance. However, it was evident that this was not a genuine representative from Sky. For starters, I don’t even have a Sky account. So, it’s quite suspicious why they would be reaching out to me. Sounds like it could very well be a scam!

This person said they were from Sky and got quite pushy about my contract running out for some repair work. When I asked them to send all the info in the post first, they threatened I'd regret it because the repair would cost £69.00. I’m pretty sure this isn’t actually Sky calling.

We got a missed call from this number but we don't even have Sky, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a genuine Sky maintenance call. Very suspicious.

Got a call from someone saying they were offering Sky insurance and somehow knew our monthly payment details. Sounded like it was from abroad. I just ended the call straight away!!!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Virgin, even though I’m not a customer. He said Virgin had merged with Sky on May 1st and started going on about my devices being at risk of hacking (like that’s unusual). Then he told me I had some sort of issue. I told him the real problem was him, and after a bit of silence, he just ended the call.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent saying they were from Sky about renewing some maintenance contract for my TV and remotes. What shook me was that they already knew my name, address, and even the first number on my debit card. Weirdly, they never tried to get into my computer or anything. I just waited it out and pretended to be interested until they ended the call.
