Phone number ☎️ 01617683279 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam call from someone claiming to represent Sky or a driveway company. Callers often ask if you still have a driveway or mention Sky TV maintenance, then either hang up abruptly or try to push fake insurance or renewal deals. Many report the caller ignoring refusals, talking over them, or disconnecting when challenged. The voice is frequently described as having an Asian accent, with some suspicion the calls may be AI-generated. Calls commonly occur outside usual hours, with no voicemail left. Multiple victims note it's not TPS compliant and suspect illegal number use. The general consensus is these calls are deceptive, intrusive, and intended to trick people into revealing personal information or bank details.
