Phone number ☎️ 01616726384 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting Sky customers, with callers falsely claiming that Sky equipment insurance or warranty has expired. These calls often feature various regional accents and knowledge of partial account details, attempting to persuade individuals to set up direct debits or provide bank information. Genuine Sky insurance is arranged through Sky Protect, and official communications would never pressure for immediate payment over the phone. Many victims report abrupt hang-ups when questioned, incorrect personal information, or calls made to people without Sky services. This number is widely flagged for dubious practices, frequent nuisance calls, and attempts to exploit vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly. It is strongly advised to ignore, block the number, and not share any personal or financial details. Always verify through official Sky channels.

7 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Sky about some insurance for my equipment, but it was a total scam. Proper Sky gear insurance goes through Sky Protect, not these folks. I've dealt with Sky Protect myself and they’re really good - quick, reliable, and once they sent someone out to fix my dish and check the signal, no fuss at all. Definitely recommend sticking with them since they use local repairers who know what they're doing.SkySky Protect7 yearsGot a call from a really nice woman with a Liverpool accent who said my Sky warranty had expired and that I should set up a monthly payment to renew it. I was a bit confused since I’ve only had Sky for a short time, so I asked how it could have already ended. She then admitted there was probably a mistake with their records and apologised for the mix-up.Sky7 yearsReceived a ring from 0161 672 6384 saying my Sky equipment warranty had expired. Thing is, I haven’t had any warranty on that stuff for ages. They mentioned bits of my account info and tried to get me to agree to a direct debit, either £8 a month or pay yearly. Said they were a third party working with Sky since Sky supposedly doesn’t handle their own warranty covers. I called Sky and they had no clue about this, so not sure if it’s some dodgy scam or just a pushy sales ploy. Setting up a direct debit feels like a strange way to con someone. Best to just ignore.Sky7 yearsNumber didn’t show up on BT Call Guardian, so I’m guessing it’s either some kind of scam or a call centre. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.BTGuardian7 yearsCan't believe it, got another annoying call today, first was from 02085004295 and now this one saying there's an issue with my Sky TV - but I don't even have Sky! Does anyone know a way to block calls from Virgin home phone numbers? It's driving me mad!BlimeySky TVSkyVirgin7 yearsWatch out! These people pretending to be from Sky TV are up to no good. Whatever you do, don’t hand over your info to them. It’s a total scam.Sky TV7 yearsMy mum gets constant calls from these lot. She usually double checks with me before doing anything though, thank god. I've warned her loads of times that they're just scammers but I’m really scared she might get tricked one day. It’s heartbreaking how they target older folks who are easy to fool. Someone needs to put a stop to this nonsense.7 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from Sky, telling me my insurance warranty was about to run out. Thing is, my Sky account isn’t even near any warranty period, plus I’ve never signed up for anything like that with them. When I asked what the call was about, the person just hung up on me. Watch out, these scammers are sneaky!Sky7 yearsSo this bloke with a proper Manchester twang rang me up about renewing some Sky breakdown cover. I told him I hadn’t got a clue what he was on about, especially since I only got a new Sky deal a couple months back, definitely not a year ago. Then he just hung up on me! Proper cheeky, just wasting their own time, that lot.ManchesterSky7 yearsGot a bloke with what sounded like a Scottish lassie calling from a Manchester number, keep ringing for some Mrs Dye or summat. Told 'em over and over, there ain’t no one like that here, but they just hang up on me. Proper fed up with these annoying calls!ManchesterDye7 yearsShe dialled the wrong address and then just ended the call.7 yearsGot a call from a Manchester number, sounded like a lady with an English accent. It didn’t feel like a call centre - she spoke straight away with no delay or any noise in the background. She asked for me by name and said something about my Sky warranty coming to an end. I told her I already had Sky Q and it was covered. She was really polite, said she’d just update their system and apologised for the interruption. It only hit me later that I’d actually had Freesat for years and only switched over to Sky Q fairly recently. Everything about it seemed pretty convincing though.ManchesterSkyFreesatSky Q7 yearsOn the 7th of March, 2019, just before noon, I got a call from a bloke with a Liverpudlian accent. He asked straight away for me by name. But when I wanted to know where he got my number from, he just hung up. Pretty clear it was some dodgy call.7 yearsDont let these scam calls trick you, just end the call and block the number right away. Do not waste your time with them!UP7 yearsGot a call from a woman about our Sky subscription. As soon as I told her we don’t actually use Sky, she just ended the call.Sky7 yearsJust like others have said here, I got a call from Sky Insurance about some equipment, but the moment I asked a bit more about it, they just ended the call straight away.7 yearsI tried ringing the number but it kept saying 'unavailable' so I just gave up and ended the call.8 yearsBeware of these scammers pretending to be from Sky trying to trick you.Sky8 yearsMy missus got a call earlier today, some bloke pretending to be from Sky offering insurance for our kit. They went on about how a call out would set us back £90, sounded pretty legit. She almost fell for it, but luckily knows I'm always suspicious of stuff like this. We never even signed up for any insurance anyway. If this lot have been reported before, how come they’re still ringing people? It just shows everyone really needs to stay alert. Honestly, I wish the authorities would sort these scammers out once and for all.Sky8 yearsThe moment I picked up, the line just went dead.8 yearsI got a call at 11:07 this morning, and as soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just hung up straight away. Seems like it was some kind of scam about Sky box insurance. I've blocked the number so it can't bother me again now.Sky8 yearsGot a call from a woman saying my Sky kit insurance was about to run out and asked me for my account password. I said I didn't have any insurance with Sky, and when I pressed her for more info, she just ended the call.Sky8 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming she was with Sky about my insurance. She wanted my bank details but only just worked out today that the insurance is actually under my husband's name and we don’t even have any insurance with Sky.Sky8 yearsJust got a call claiming to be from ‘Sky’ saying my insurance had run out. I’ve never even had insurance with them and told the woman I wasn’t interested. She was really polite and professional, but it’s obviously a scam.Sky8 yearsGot a call from a young woman claiming to be from Sky, saying my breakdown cover was about to run out. I told her to buzz off and hung up. Just heard that people are finally winning against these calls and the companies behind them are going to be hit with fines up to £500,000. I’m definitely reporting this number to the proper authorities.Sky8 yearsSome bloke with a thick Liverpudlian accent rang me up saying my Sky insurance was up for renewal and offered a better price. He acted like he already had all my info and just wanted my bank details to sort it. When I asked him to just use the details he supposedly had, he suddenly hung up. Thing is, I’ve never even had Sky, so there’s no way he could’ve had my details in the first place.LiverpoolSky8 yearsToday I received a call from this number, with a woman claiming to be from Sky. When I asked how she had my number, she became quite impolite. She then said I'd be billed annually for Sky services and abruptly ended the call.Sky8 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming she was with Sky, trying to get my card info to set up a direct debit for some Sky insurance. Problem is, I’ve never actually had Sky at my place, so it was pretty clear she was just fishing for my card details. Definitely a scam, watch out!Sky8 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming he was with Sky, and he even knew the name of the person who has the Sky account. Classic scam about the Sky box insurance, nothing new really.Sky8 yearsThis number 0161726384 has rung me about 4 times telling me my contract is nearly up. I told them to buzz off and I've already reported the calls to the cops. Proper annoying!8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky insurance because apparently my Sky box warranty was up. They asked for my bank info to start a monthly direct debit for some insurance. I refused and they just hung up on me. When I tried calling the number back, it just said the number couldn’t be reached. Bit dodgy if you ask me.Sky InsuranceSkySubmit Your Own Report (0161 672 6384)
