5 yearsAfter seeing all the posts about them, it’s clear they’re just trying to scam people, so I’ve decided to block their number.5 yearsI got a call from this number about renewing some TV cover with Sky Assure. I told them I don’t even have that cover, and they said they’d cancel this month’s fee. But then they mentioned I’d be charged £89.99 next month for cancelling the package. Bit dodgy if you ask me.Sky Assure5 yearsThis bloke with an Asian accent keeps ringing my home phone saying he's from Sky, telling me my TV insurance needs renewing. Thing is, I don't even have Sky! I hang up, but he just keeps calling back over and over again. It's so annoying!Sky5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were with Sky, but I don’t even have their service!Sky5 yearsGot a call from someone called ‘Leo’ claiming to be from Sky. He was pushing me to upgrade the insurance on my telly. I told him I didn’t even get my TV from Sky, but he kept insisting I had. Said he could offer me a great deal, but I wasn’t having it and ended up just hanging up.LeoSky5 yearsGot a call claiming to be from "SKY" saying my Ske equipment cover needed renewing. Thing is, I don't even have any Sky gear. When I asked about it, the caller just ended the call. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.SkeSky5 yearsThey’re definitely up to no good. When I said I couldn’t hear very well (even though I could), he asked why it took me so long to say hello. He even told me not to pick up the phone in future. If I’d gotten the chance, I’d have given him a piece of my mind, but he just ended the call. Surely the government should step in and do something about these scammers.5 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming my SKY subscription was £143 per month, including £11 for sky protect, and they offered a few free months. When I told him I didn’t think he was really from Sky, he suddenly went quiet. You could tell from the cheesy fake background noise that it was a dodgy call centre. I told him straight up he was a scammer and hung up. This kind of scam call should be shut down completely.SkySky Protect5 yearsGot a call saying my TV insurance expired, but I don’t even have that sort of cover!5 yearsIf one of their calls comes through, just tell them you'll send a cheque. I got spoken to really badly after that, then they slammed the phone down on me. Avoid paying these people at all costs, they’re honestly the worst to deal with. You should definitely report them.5 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from Sky, saying I had to get insurance sorted. I told him straight up I wasn’t gonna pay a penny. He hung up on me, but I kept the call going a bit longer just to see what he'd do. Seems like he couldn’t convince me, maybe next time he’ll think twice before ringing me.Sky Services5 yearsIf those lot call you, just say you'll send a cheque and watch what happens. I got shouted at and treated awful when I did that. Hung up on me right away. Don't ever give these guys a penny, they're honestly the worst. Make sure to report them!5 yearsThat was really sketchy, don't mess with that number.5 yearsI keep getting calls from this number all the time, but I never pick up since I don’t know who it is.

It’s really starting to get on my nerves.5 yearsThey claimed to be from Sky but that’s totally not true 😠Sky5 yearsI got a call saying my Sky gear insurance was about to expire. I said I’m not interested in paying for that and just hung up. Could hear loads of chatter from what sounded like their call centre in the background!Sky5 yearsThey said they were from Sky's service team which seemed a bit dodgy. Also, my bill doesn’t even come up till August, so something felt off.Sky5 yearsThis guy called me saying his name was Leo and he was ringing from Sky Services.
