Definitely a scam.4 yearsA person claiming to be from Sky called me.Sky4 yearsThis 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!4 yearsLooks like just another scam call to me.4 yearsi 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.Sky4 yearsHonestly, these people are the absolute worst, like the bottom of the barrel, even an amoeba would be offended being compared to them.4 yearsI just let it ring, never gonna answer since I dont even have sky. These spam calls never stop, honestly it's getting really annoying.Sky4 yearsI just got a ring from these people, sounded like a bloke with an Indian accent. Kind of like what others have mentioned here.4 yearsGot 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?

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.Sky4 yearsWe 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.

I just ended the call straight away!!!Sky Assurance4 yearsGot 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.VirginSky4 yearsGot 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.SkySubmit Your Own Report (01256 588553)
