Got a call from someone claiming to be Sky, they wanted me to enter some code on my computer or iPad. I don’t even use Sky, so it was obviously dodgy. Just ended the call straight away and didn’t share any info. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

They kept pushing me for information, which was really suspicious. I wouldn’t trust it at all - feels like a total scam to me.

I got a call from someone saying they were Robert Peterson from Sky with ID 258936, telling me to install an app called qs from the app store to fix a security issue on my router. Honestly, I’m not a Sky customer and I don’t think my security’s a problem anyway. So I checked the number online and it seems like a scam. Definitely don’t let anyone get remote access to your router, and watch out for anyone insisting you download stuff from the play store - that’s a big red flag.

We’ve already had eight calls today from this number claiming to be Sky. They said there was some dodgy activity on our account but didn’t explain what exactly. I tried calling the number they gave to check if it was legit, but like others have said, it’s definitely not. Seriously, don’t share any of your info with them!

Someone pretended to be from a bank and asked my mum for her bank details, saying she would get a refund on some internet fees. They ended up stealing £3750 from her Lloyds account. We've been trying to get the money back but Lloyds keep saying they can't do anything about it. The number they called from was 0161 4088689.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with Sky, warning me my wifi had been compromised. I asked them for their phone number to ring back if it was legit. After checking the reviews here, it's clear it was a scam!

I got a call from a young bloke claiming to be from Sky, telling me there were technical problems with my line. When I mentioned I’d already had a few similar calls and asked if it was a scam, he shockingly admitted that it was! He was polite and spoke really well - I’d rather not share his name.

Someone rang saying they were from Sky and told me my internet was compromised. Seemed fishy to me, so I just ended the call.

I got totally duped by a call that said it was from Sky. They told me my IP address was at risk. Since I actually had trouble with my internet and had my card info nicked just a couple weeks before, I thought it was legit. Please, don’t pick up if they ring you!

I got a call from a guy claiming to be Richard Williams from Sky and my network. He told me there was some kind of security alert and asked me to download a tech app. Then, they started sending messages through the app and promised a £320 refund from Sky. The whole time they kept me chatting on the phone just to grab my personal details.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he was Mark Wood from Sky. He said my router was messed up, causing the slow internet, and that Sky would be refunding me £320 as a thanks for sticking with them. While I was on the phone, he told me to check my bank account, but he kept me waiting on the line the whole time.
