2 yearsSomeone said they were from Sky, but I don't trust it at all.Sky2 yearsGot a call first thing in the morning around 8.30, person sounded Indian, said they were from Ky. Such a headache, kept repeating the same stuff over and over. Total pain.Kentucky2 yearsI had an Asian chap phone me up, insisting he was from Sky maintenance. I informed him straight away that I'm not with Sky and told him to scram, calling him a bit of a con artist in the process.Sky2 yearsAnother day, another tale. This bloke claimed to be from Sky Maintenance, mentioning something about me ignoring a letter regarding my breakdown cover renewal. When I requested a contact number to ring back, I made it clear I’d verify online to ensure it was genuinely associated with Sky. Would you believe it? He promptly hung up on me!Sky2 yearsDidn’t receive any texts, so I reckon it’s just your standard spam.2 yearsThe sky has fallen apart!2 yearsReceived a call from someone speaking with an English accent, insisting that I owed money for "unpaid television maintenance". Not only was I taken aback by the fact I hadn’t settled this installment, but they also had the audacity to ask for extra payment for the upcoming year!2 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be Sam, who had an accent that sounded Asian. He said he was with Sky and mentioned something about my insurance being about to lapse. Quite odd, as I've not been with Sky for the last 15 years!SamSky2 yearsReceived several calls on my home phone today. Interestingly, not a single voicemail was left, which makes it rather suspect if you ask me. Definitely seems like a questionable firm.2 yearsI've received calls from a number claiming to be from Sky, but it's clearly a scam. I don't even have a Sky account! Best to steer clear of this one.Sky2 yearsI found it quite difficult to make out the foreign accent during the call, as the person rambled on about something related to Sky. I may have been a bit rude in my response and ended up leaving the line open. Honestly, it felt like they were trying to pull a fast one on me. What a complete waste of time!Sky2 yearsThey called me claiming it was regarding my Sky subscription, but I don't even have one with them.Sky2 yearsNo texts or anything, figured it was just some random spam call.2 yearsNo texts received; likely just standard nuisance spam.2 yearsGot a call from some guy, sounded Asian, called himself John, trying to get me to renew some insurance for my Sky TV. Thing is, I dont even have insurance with them! Just hung up straight away and blocked the number so they can't ring again.JohnSky TV2 yearsGot a call from someone with a very asian accent saying my Sky TV insurance needed renewing. Thing is, I don’t even have Sky!Sky TVSky2 yearsHe was insisting that he was affiliated with Sky.Sky2 yearsGot a call at 10:13 on the 2nd of Feb, a bloke said he was Harry from Sky Maintenance. I don’t even use Sky services, so that was odd. I’ve now put his number on divert so I don’t get bothered again.HarrySky2 yearsThis number called me again but as soon as I answered I just hung up. I recognise it from before, it was linked to some money scam.2 yearsMy phone buzzed and when I answered there was just silence, no-one speaking. After about 20 seconds, I hung up.2 years"I just received a message saying my breakdown cover is no longer valid.. Definitely a scam!"2 yearsNoxious nuisance on the other end of the line.2 yearsI’ve no clue who this firm is; it was utterly dubious! There was some dodgy noise of a call centre bustling in the background, and the chap on the line, calling himself David, had a thick Indian accent. I didn’t stick around - I ended the call pretty swiftly.David2 yearsI'm inquiring about the Sky breakdown assistance, but the thing is, I don't actually subscribe to Sky at all!Sky2 yearsA bloke named Tony rang me up, claiming to be from Sky Assured Maintenance, stating that our maintenance warranty on Sky gear was about to run out. Complete rubbish, seeing as we’ve never even subscribed to Sky! Just another dodgy service plan con, if you ask me. When I pressed him for clarification on where he was calling from, he abruptly ended the call. I tried to ring back, but, surprise surprise, the number was disconnected. I’ll be lodging a complaint with the ICO about this nonsense!TonySky Assured MaintenanceSkyICO2 yearsGot a call outta the blue about double glazing, but as soon as I asked how they got hold of my number, they just ended the call. Bit strange if you ask me!2 yearsIf you get nonstop calls from the same number, it's probably a scam, so just ignore it completely.2 yearsGot a call from someone about renewing my Sky insurance, which is odd cause I don't even have one with them.Sky2 yearsI got a call this morning from someone who sounded Indian, probably working in one of those call centres. Another typical scam attempt, so boring honestly! Just a total yawn fest!!Scammers Union2 yearsI got a call from 01618188147 earlier on but they didn’t drop any voicemail. After checking the reviews here, I’ve decided to block the number.2 yearsGot a call from some guy named "Max" with an Asian accent at like 10:07 this morning, said it was about "Sky". Didn’t even bother, just ended the call straight away. Blocked the number after that.MaxSky2 yearsGot a call from someone with a really thick Asian accent, couldn’t make out a single word. Seemed totally like one of those scam calls to me.2 yearsI picked up but there was silence, so I ended up blocking the number.2 yearsI didn’t pick up the call, but I looked up who it was that rang me.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming it was Sky, saying I’d signed up for equipment insurance when I never did. Total scam!DodgySky2 yearsHad a call first thing this morning from someone telling me my Sky gear insurance had expired and needed sorting right away. Funny enough, I actually do have that insurance, and it renews automatically unless I cancel it. Plus, they always send emails with clear details and how to opt out well before it expires. I just left the phone near my blasting radio alarm and walked off. Hopefully this scammer will have to find a new number to bother next time!Sky2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Jonathon from Sky about my breakdown cover. I told him I don't have any and then just ended the call. Definitely a scammer trying to push bogus insurance, so watch out!JonathonSky2 yearsGot a call from some Asian guy called Richard who said he was from Sky. He told me my Sky gear warranty was up, but I told him I don’t even have Sky stuff. Then he just hung up on me. You could hear people chatting in a call centre in the back.RichardSky2 yearsGot a call about a maintenance programme for SKY gear, but when I said I don’t actually have any of their stuff, the bloke just ended the call on me.2 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke claiming to be with TBM Maintenance. He said he wasn’t trying to sell anything but was calling about renewing some breakdown cover on a car I don’t even own. I told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call straight away. Then I looked it up on this site to see what was up.TBM Maintenance2 yearsCalled 1471 to see who rang me, then searched the number here. It seemed like a Manchester area code to me, so I figured if they did say anything it’d probably be a dodgy call. Guess that was right after reading what others have said about it. Just a silent call in my case.Manchester2 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming to be from Sky about my protection running out. Since I don’t even have Sky, it was clear it was a scam. He also never used my name or asked to talk to anyone in particular.Sky2 yearsGot a call that BT Call Catcher picked up - turned out to be a scam or spam. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number and erased it now that I know what it was.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said his name was "David," spoke with a heavy accent or summat.

I told him I don't even have Sky and just ended the call.Sky RecoverSky2 yearsGot a call on my home phone from someone pretending to be from Sky, just like what others have mentioned here.

I just told him off and hung up.

Problem is, I've never even had Sky TV before. And I'm based in Edinburgh. Strange one.SkySky TVEdinburgh2 yearsSounds like a dodgy call to me.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Sky. I quickly told them I wasn’t interested. The person on the line had a thick Asian accent and there was loud background noise, like it was a busy call centre or something. They claimed it wasn’t a sales call but about some “electronics cover” that was about to expire. I explained I don’t have any Sky services and that I’d handle any stuff like that on my own. Then, just like that, the call ended abruptly with no farewell or anything. Pretty rude!Sky2 yearsI blocked and declined the call, comes from around the Tyneside region.Tyneside2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, and there was no voicemail or message left behind.2 yearsMy phone buzzed and I answered but stayed silent.

Feels like a scam to me.Sky TV Insurance2 yearsCalled me a couple of times but didn’t say a word.2 yearsDidn't pick up and just blocked the number after reading the comments here, seems like a scam to me.2 yearsTotal scam.

Definitely a scam.2 yearsClassic warranty scam trying to pull a fast one.2 yearsWatch out, these lot are trying to scam you and steal your money. Total crooks.2 yearsI received a call from someone claiming that my Sky contract had lapsed and that I needed to renew it. The thing is, I don’t even have a Sky subscription! I ended the call right away.Sky2 yearsBeware of warranty scams.2 yearsI received a rather heavily accented chap on the line who informed me that my TV cover was up for renewal at a cost of £100.

I've now decided to block the number.2 yearsNever pick up calls from numbers you don’t know, it’s obviously a scam or something dodgy 🙄10 yearsI got a call from this number and it was quite unsettling. The chap on the other end had an African accent and seemed unsure whether I had been involved in an accident or if he was trying to discuss PPI repayments. I requested that he remove my details from his records, and then he oddly began saying 'love you' and prodding whether I could converse in any African dialect. He was incredibly pushy too, as I hung up and they tried to ring me again just a short while later. It’s honestly chilling to think about how they came by my information since they clearly had both my first and last names, alongside my mobile number.Submit Your Own Report (0161 818 8147)
