02045771016 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02045771016 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting elderly and vulnerable people, often claiming to be from Sky or related TV maintenance services. Callers pressure victims into paying for bogus insurance or contract renewals, sometimes using intimidating or misleading tactics and knowing some personal card details. The scam frequently involves multiple calls, false names, Indian-accented English speakers, and spoofed numbers. Many victims report lost sums around £50–£190, with some able to block payments in time. Complaints highlight distress caused to elderly relatives with dementia or memory issues. Genuine Sky representatives confirm no association with this number and advise caution. The scam has been reported multiple times to police and fraud agencies but sadly continues active despite warnings.
Reports on phone number 02045771016
3 monthsI’m with the EE/BT team, and I can tell you straight up this isn’t one of our phone numbers. If we were to get in touch, it’d be from an 0800 or 0330, never something like this. Also, we don’t ask for your personal info out of the blue - usually it’s you reaching out to us first.EE / BT4 monthsMy mum, who’s got dementia, got a call saying it was time to renew her TV insurance - which she doesn't even have. They ended up taking £100 from her. Total scam.5 monthsThese scammers keep harassing my folks, should be shut down for good!5 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky Assurance TV maintenance, total nonsense. They said they weren’t selling anything, just renewing my elderly mum’s current subscription, but to me it still felt like a sales pitch. When I asked them to stop ringing her, the “receptionist” said someone else from their team would need to ring me back to sort it out. Don’t hold your breath for that callback. They’re also using this other number 02039315002.Sky Assurance TVuk5 monthsI can’t believe this number’s been active for 4 years, it’s just awful! I’ve reported it to Action Fraud and a few other places to try and get the word out. Honestly, it needs to be blocked completely.Action Fraud5 monthsThese lot are an absolute scam! They kept ringing my elderly dad, who has dementia, saying he needed to renew his Sky insurance for his equipment for £99. Luckily, I have power of attorney and noticed the pending charge on his bank account. I immediately stopped it and cancelled his card so they couldn’t take any more money. Seriously, don’t deal with these people and keep your older family members safe from these awful scams!Sky5 monthsThe calls haven’t stopped yet. They phoned my elderly mum, claiming she’d paid last year but now owed £80 again. Luckily, she was confused and told them she had no idea who “Daisy” was, so the call got cut off. It really upset her though. I told her if they get in touch again, she should just pass me the phone because she can’t manage her accounts like before.Daisy7 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, telling my mum she owed £50 for some services she supposedly hadn’t paid for, and they threatened to cut her off if she didn’t pay. They were obviously just trying to rip her off. Absolutely disgusting.Virgin Media7 monthsThis morning, my mum got a call from some bloke named Aaron Patterson who said he was from a TV repair firm and wanted £120 to sort out her coverage. I looked up the number online and stumbled upon this page, so I thought I'd share to warn others who might be at risk. Luckily, I managed to block my mum's debit card before anything was taken, and I’ve let her bank know about it too.Aaron Patterson8 monthsSounds like a scam targeting old folks by trying to push them insurance plans.8 monthsI never got a call from this specific number myself. Instead, I kept getting calls from various other numbers which seemed fake. It’s definitely a scam. I don’t have Sky at all, but they kept saying I had a past deal for TV gear. They asked me to ring back on a number that never went through. Then, when they phoned again, they gave me this number and asked for Daniel. They promised he'd ring back, and sure enough, he did. Totally dodgy.SkyDaniel8 monthsYesterday I got a call about Sky insurance for installations - they were charging £99 for one year and £166 if you went for two years. They somehow already had all my card details, but I didn’t realise until after I’d agreed to it. Something felt off, so I had a look on some websites and it seemed pretty clear I’d been conned. I rang my bank straight away and they stopped the payment. Not even half an hour later, this company called back, accusing me of breaking the contract and threatening legal action. It was proper shady.Sky8 monthsToday I got a call from this number, and the guy said his name was Freddie, telling me it was a Sky maintenance team member.FreddieSky8 monthsGot a call from someone saying they do TV repairs, wanted £99 upfront and then £160 each year for two years. They said they sent me letters but I never got any. The people on the phone had Indian accents but used English names, which felt really fishy. Didn’t fall for it and obviously didn’t hand over any money.9 monthsMy 85 year old mum got ripped off by some people claiming to be from Sky insurance or maintenance, they took £160 from her. Luckily, I managed to sort out her account after. She’s really upset and angry about what happened. They had some card info on her, and the callers, with Indian accents but using names like ‘Jenny, Alan and James,’ kept ringing her.SkyJennyAlanJames9 monthsMy partner got tricked and ended up coughing up money for what he believed was Sky insurance.Sky10 monthsMy elderly mum got a call from someone named David who managed to con her out of £190. Luckily, we blocked her card straight away and reported the whole thing to the bank’s fraud department.David10 monthsMy elderly mate, who’s 92, got a call from someone claiming to be with Sky. They warned her she’d face a fine because her contract expired just the day before. Seemed quite threatening to be honest.Sky10 monthsMy mother-in-law keeps getting these calls about some TV service plan. This guy "Jonathan" rings up and somehow talked her into giving her bank info to pay right then and there. Tried ringing him back to check or sort it out, but he’s never free and apparently no one else deals with that stuff. Seriously, steer clear of them.Jonathan11 monthsMy 83 year old mum got a call from someone claiming to be from Sky about a TV maintenance thing, said it was the second year and mandatory. She doesn't even have Sky and hasn't bought a TV in ages. Total scam if you ask me.Sky12 monthsMy mum got a call about some Sky insurance deal. They said she paid £140 last year, but they could do it for £99 now. Thing is, she doesn’t even have insurance on her Sky box. When she asked who it was, the guy said Henry Peterson and told her to ring back quick or she’d miss the offer. Honestly, his heavy Indian accent didn’t really fit the name he gave. Bit fishy if you ask me.SkyHenry Peterson12 monthsGot a call from “Jonathan” about a Sky maintenance insurance renewal costing £120, and he rang my 87-year-old mother-in-law a few times. When I took the call and asked for specifics to verify what he was saying, he was really pushy and quite rude to me. He refused to discuss anything with anyone but the policyholder, so he waited until she was alone to ring back. Sadly, despite normally being cautious about sharing info, she ended up giving him her bank details.JonathanSky1 yearBit suspicious this one. Said they were from Sky Assured Maintenance and told me I needed to renew my TV maintenance plan. Thing is, I have no paperwork or anything on file about signing up for it in the first place. Anyway, I ended up giving them my latest card info. Fingers crossed they only take the £100 they asked for. Bit annoying and kinda worrying - time will tell...Sky Assured Maintenance1 yearJust got tricked by someone pretending to be from Sky about some maintenance. Total scam!Sky1 yearMy mother-in-law, who’s just lost her husband, got a phone call from these people. She believed them and ended up giving them her bank info. Now we’re trying to get in touch with the bank to stop any money being taken out.1 yearAn 83 year old grandma got a call from someone saying they were from Sky Maintenance. The caller asked for more than £100 to be sent and she ended up sharing her card info. Luckily, although three payments of £100 tried to go through, they were all blocked before any money was lost.Sky Maintenance1 yearMy elderly dad got called by this same number, saying exactly the same thing. The credit card firm flagged it as suspicious and stopped the payment, but now there are other dodgy charges showing up. Watch out for this one. It was for £120.1 yearI got the same scam call as others have said. I stopped the payment straight away. They called back later just to confirm but thankfully I’d already had my card cancelled.1 yearMy mum got a call claiming to be from ‘Sky TV’ about an insurance payment, after the third ring she gave them her card details for £99. Oddly, the bank showed the charge from ‘Sky EQP’ but labelled it under sports goods. Then a package turned up through recorded post with nothing but a thank you note inside, no logos or details whatsoever. I reckon they were trying to trick her into believing she’d signed up for insurance. Thankfully, this made me double-check the bank account, and luckily the money was refunded.Sky TV1 yearMy elderly uncle got a call saying they urgently needed to update his info, kept going on and on harassing him. Somehow he ended up giving them his bank card details. Thankfully, by the time he told me, I'd already cancelled the card so no cash was taken. He mentioned they told him to call this number to check if it was genuine - which made me look it up here and found out loads of others have been tricked the same way. Proper angry about it!1 yearJust like the previous review, these people said they were from Sky Maintenance and wanted £160 for a service plan. My elderly mum answered the phone first but passed it on to me - the way the caller spoke felt almost aggressive. They dropped the price to £60 for six months so I hesitantly gave my details. Right after the call finished, I looked up the number and realised it was a scam. I rang my bank straight away and managed to block the payment just in time. Have also reported it to Action Fraud.Action Fraud2 yearsMy elderly mum, who’s 85, got a call from someone pretending to be Sky’s maintenance team. They somehow convinced her to pay around £160 for a maintenance plan that supposedly lasts a year. Now we’re trying to get it cancelled, but they’re telling us we have to wait for a callback to confirm the cancellation. So far, nobody has called back. When I called them, the person admitted they have no connection to Sky at all. It’s definitely a dodgy insurance scam.Sky2 yearsToday, this number rang up an 85-year-old man I know who’s a bit hard of hearing. The caller tried to tell him it was about renewing something for all his electrical stuff. But this gentleman already has home contents insurance that covers everything. I reckon situations like this could be quite risky for elderly people who are more vulnerable.2 yearsLike others have mentioned, I got caught up in a scam about some kind of repair and insurance for stolen things. Ended up losing £160. They promised a letter as proof, but I’m still waiting for it. They said it was from Sky, but when I looked at my bank statement, the name was misspelled and definitely not Sky.Sky2 yearsMy elderly mum, who’s 87, got a call from this number and somehow got talked into handing over her card info. £50 has been taken from her bank account by a firm called Sky Trade. I handle her finances with power of attorney and have no clue who these people are (it’s definitely not Sky TV, which she’s never subscribed to). Weirdly, she also got a tracked letter today with nothing but a blank paper inside. Not sure if it’s linked but it feels like too much of a coincidence.Sky TradeSky Television2 yearsGot a call from this number about some SKY service maintenance.2 yearsGot this number locked for a TV service check, but turned out to be a scam. Don’t waste your time!2 yearsGot a call from someone asking me to ring this number for TV repair. Definitely a con.2 yearsMy 92-year-old dad received a call today informing him that he needed to renew a maintenance contract for his television and other appliances. The catch? No such contract has ever been in place! They managed to trick him into believing there was one and, in doing so, swindled him out of £99 from his bank account. It’s absolutely infuriating how low these despicable people can sink!2 years#### old folks getting tricked by sneaky scammers out there2 yearsThis scam is still going round! That number 0204 577 1016 called me and it sounded really legit at first. Sadly, I only realised it was a dodgy call after it was too late. Ended up costing me £50. Sky confirmed there’s no compulsory insurance involved or anything like that. Avoid this number!Sky2 yearsThey've been ringing non-stop, the latest times being 15th April and then 13th May 2024. Bit creepy how they seem to know some stuff about my account, not sure how though. Definitely unsettling.2 yearsI received a call from 0204 577 1016, and it was quite concerning. They had the audacity to speak with my 90-year-old father-in-law, masquerading as an insurance firm linked to Sky. They managed to swindle him out of £170. That’s all I’ll say! Steer clear of this number and anyone associated with it.Sky2 yearsHello there, just circling back on those dodgy phone calls I mentioned a few hours ago. They’re definitely a con - steer clear of them and refrain from divulging any personal information. If you’ve shared any data, it would be prudent to cancel your bank cards. Be sure to reach out to Sky via their customer service line and inform them about it; you can ring them for free on 08001512747. It seems someone's had a breach of data, so remain vigilant as other providers might also be involved in this scam. There are numerous callback websites that can provide insights into these scams and identify their origins. Just a heads up - I've taken this matter seriously. Cheers!Sky2 yearsHello there! Just wanted to know if anyone else has been receiving calls from these Sky numbers: 02045771016, 02045714649, and 02045772686? They seem to be about setting up insurance and repairs in case anything goes awry with Sky services. Anyone else in the same boat?Sky2 yearsTaking advantage of elderly folks, really sad to see.2 yearsThey identify as SKy Trade and attempt to peddle insurance related to Sky and television services. They come across as quite persuasive, so I strongly advise against any interaction.SKy TradeSky2 yearsAvoid this number, it’s a scam. I got a call where the person claimed to be from Sky, trying to get me to renew my service for the dish and sky box. Total fraud, don’t trust it.Sky2 yearsToday my mum, who’s 90, got caught up in this so-called “Sky insurance” scam. Luckily, I managed to chat with her shortly after and told her to ring her bank straight away. They blocked her card just in time. It was a very familiar scam, just like what others have said, and it cost her over £100. This is clearly some sort of fraud. Be careful out there!Sky2 yearsI received a rather dubious call today, allegedly from Sky, claiming there was a special discount on Sky TV insurance available to me mid-contract. The twist? I’ve got no existing contract with them! The caller was extremely insistent that I had to act immediately, as today was apparently the final day to snag this offer. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!SkySky TV2 yearsI can’t believe the audacity of these individuals! They've swindled my 82-year-old mother, who’s quite fragile. Absolutely appalling behaviour! I strongly advise anyone to verify details with SKY’s customer support prior to handing over any cash.SKY2 yearsThese con artists managed to cheat a 92 y/o woman out of £100. Would be great if only we had where to find em. Total crooks.3 yearsMy mum got told her Sky insurance isn’t able to be paid by monthly instalments and needs to be settled all at once. She went ahead and paid £49.99 by mistake, but thankfully I spotted it in time and had her card cancelled. Fingers crossed she gets her money back!Sky3 yearsSome scammers rang up my elderly aunt, who's 76 and has memory issues, trying to get her to "renew" some made-up TV repair insurance. They said their name was Sam Lucas. When I called back, it went through to a switchboard, and they said they’d put me through to him. He gave me the same nonsense, so I told him to take my number off their list or I'd report them to the police if they called again. These lot definitely aren’t TPS compliant since the call came from a withheld number out of the blue. They really need to be stopped.Sam Lucas3 yearsThey seem to be going after really old folks, my 87 year old mum got caught up with them again. This happened to us last year too. They’re clever with how they take the money - splitting it into 3 payments of £50 each. When it shows up on the bank statement, it says SKY in the description, so if you’ve got Sky, it could easily look legit. I had a bit of a row with them and finally they agreed to give back the £50, but they initially wanted to charge it as a cancellation fee. No chance I’m accepting that.SKYSky3 yearsThis appears to be a complete con aimed at the elderly, peddling dubious insurance for their televisions.3 yearsGot a call from someone called "Sky Assured" about paying for TV upkeep. The bloke spoke with an Indian accent and it was super noisy in the background. Definitely felt like a scam!Sky Assured3 yearsIt seems there’s a fraudulent operation masquerading as "Sky Assurance" offering discounts on TV maintenance charges that don’t actually exist. What a cheeky ruse! It’s always wise to keep one’s wits about them and ensure that you’re dealing with legitimate companies before parting with any hard-earned cash. Always better to be safe than sorry!" Sky Assurance3 yearsMy 79 year old mum got a call from this number saying she owed £99 because her partner, who died not long ago, had signed up for a two year contract but only paid for one year. She felt really pushed to pay up, but luckily she rang her bank in time and they blocked her card. Afterwards, they rang her from a different number, 01615242890.3 yearsAbout a week ago, I got a call and ended up almost giving them some cash. Luckily, I gave them an expiry date that wasn’t right, and my bank got in touch to say they’d blocked the transaction. Then today, the same number rang me back, and I just told the person I was onto their scam straight away.3 yearsI received a rather dodgy call this morning from this number, claiming that my Sky insurance was nearing its expiration and urging me to renew. In a moment of foolishness, I provided my card information to secure a two-year agreement for £170. It didn’t take long for me to realise I’d fallen prey to an insurance scam. I promptly cancelled my bank card and reached out to Sky, who were completely in the dark about this situation. After that, I phoned back on 02045771016 to demand an immediate cancellation of the suspicious transaction. The person on the line informed me of a £79 cancellation charge. I made it clear that should they attempt to enforce that, I would be reporting them to the Bank Fraud Team and pursuing the matter further.SkyBank Fraud Team3 yearsGot calls six times over the span of three days, with someone saying they're from Sky maintenance. What really worried me was they somehow had part of my elderly parents' debit card info.Sky3 yearsMy nan, who’s 96, got a call from someone saying they were from Sky Maintenance. They were trying to sell her some kind of insurance for her TV gear, saying it would cost about £150 over two years. She felt pressured to hand over her card info, but luckily she got a weird feeling about it and called me straight away. I rang the bank, got her card blocked right away, and checked that no money had gone out. This really smells like a scam aimed at older folk who might be easy targets.Sky Maintenance3 yearsTwo calls in as many days trying to con my elderly mum with some SKY ty insurance nonsense. This is the third time they've phoned her. Definitely can't trust these lot. Lucky for us, she hasn’t given them a penny!3 yearsGot a call from this number about renewing some maintenance plan for Sky, but ive never even had one. Pretty sure its a scam trying to steal bank info and personal details. Watch out!Sky3 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be from Sky Tec, stating they required my bank info to update my insurance. I double-checked with Sky directly, and it turns out there's no such company! Just another scam, I reckon.Sky TecSky4 yearsClaimed to be from Sky’s technical support, they were supposedly reaching out for maintenance purposes regarding my contract. They mentioned offering a discount if I opted for a two-year extension rather than just one. When I probed for more details, which anyone affiliated with Sky should readily know, the caller escalated me to a so-called "supervisor." After I continued with my queries, they seemed to lose patience and abruptly terminated the call. Quite the experience!Sky4 yearsJust like loads of others, this lot rang my mum who’s 76 and pretended to be from Sky. Since Dad passed away only last month, Mum’s still trying to manage all the bills and money stuff, so she didn’t realise she was being tricked. They managed to swindle her out of £180. Tried telling the bank and police but they couldn’t care less.Sky4 yearsSomeone was ringing me, claiming to be from Sky, insisting that I settle my bill or else I’d have to cancel my subscription. Quite the cheeky manoeuvre!Sky4 yearsMy dad, who’s 94, got a call saying they wanted to renew a TV maintenance plan he’s never signed up for. Sadly, he got tricked into handing over his debit card details and lost £170. I cancelled his card straight away. These scammers really need to find honest work instead of ripping people off.4 yearsLoads of people here mention why it’s really important to report every scam call to the police. Those poor folks who are easy targets end up getting tricked and pressured, while most of us just complain about the nuisance without taking any action. If you want to know how to get in touch with the police to report these calls, the details are below.4 yearsI recently received a call from someone claiming to be representing Sky, insisting that I either pay an outstanding balance or cancel my subscription. It seemed rather suspicious to me!Sky4 yearsA call came from a London 02045771016 number to my sister who’s got Alzheimer’s. When I answered, the person on the phone spoke with an Indian or Pakistani accent and claimed he was from Sky Assurers, not Sky TV or anything. He tried to get her card info, saying it was about a payment for some TV maintenance. I refused to give out any details and he started getting quite rude, but fortunately he didn’t manage to scam us.SkySky TV4 yearsSome bloke called James Vincent rang my elderly mother-in-law, who’s 79, and somehow talked her into coughing up money for ‘insurance’ on her SKY account. She tried to argue it out with him but eventually gave in and handed over the cash. First, he wanted £120, then suddenly said he’d knock it down to £100. She just paid him to make him stop bothering her, she was really upset. Proper nasty people.James Vincent4 yearsAn elderly lady, 87 years old, got a call about a final settlement for Sky insurance - but she doesn’t even have Sky. She ended up giving her card details and then they attempted to charge £120 twice. Luckily, the bank stopped both transactions, so no money was lost. I had a word with some “Mike Miller” (definitely a fake name - these scammers can barely speak proper English). Pure, total scam, honestly.SkyMike Miller4 yearsGot a call on my mum’s phone, she’s 87 and they said it was the last payment for her Sky insurance... problem is she ain’t got Sky at all. They asked for her card info and attempted to charge £120 two times. Luckily the bank stopped both attempts, no money lost. Had a quick chat with a "Mike Miller" - yeah right, sounds made up, and his English was terrible too. Total scam, these people aren’t fooling anyone.SkyMike Miller4 yearsMy elderly folks get constantly harassed by these calls, it's really frustrating.4 yearsSomeone posed as a Sky technician and attempted to extract my banking information. I reached out to Sky directly, and they confirmed that they never make calls asking for payment details.Sky4 yearsMy elderly mate got a call from them yet again, claiming she owed cash and asking for her updated bank details. After the first payment, we had her card replaced so they couldn't take any more funds. They then insisted she had to pay to cancel some kind of contract. Thing is, she never got any documents at all. They said it was some kind of agreement to look after Sky gear. When she called it a con and said she wouldn't pay, they got proper angry.Sky4 yearsSomeone called me saying they were with Sky insurance, but it felt a bit off. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.Sky Insurance4 yearsMy elderly folks got a call from 02045771016 about their BT renewal. The person said if they signed up right then, they could get a discount, but it had to be that day. The caller claimed to be from Sky assured maintenance, and a woman named Ashley mentioned they could call back if they had any questions. Feels a bit off to me.BTSkyAshley4 yearsMy elderly sister who's 85 and has dementia got loads of calls, like 12, from the number 01890540268 about some Sky insurance. She even told the bloke she was in the middle of her lunch but he asked if she could ring him back once she'd finished. He said his name was Mike Miller and used the 02045771016 number starting with 02.SkyMike Miller4 yearsSomeone called saying they were from my bank, but it was definitely a scam.4 yearsI find it hard to believe Sky would be ringing from some dodgy street in London when they usually call from Edinburgh. something’s not right about this number.SkyEdinburghLondon4 yearsThis was a total con. My elderly mum got a call from someone claiming to be from Sky TV repair, saying her insurance had expired. They were really pushy, even threatening her, and tried to scare her into paying £100. They seem to have an answer for everything and are clearly ripping folks off. Sadly, she gave them her bank info and sent £100. Please be careful with calls like this!Sky TV4 yearsIt’s pretty depressing how there’s someone new falling for this rubbish every minute, hook, line and sinker.4 yearsGot a call from 01873440202, they claimed to be from Sky and said I needed to renew my maintenance contract straight away or they'd charge me £80 and withdraw it from my bank for admin fees. The guy was really pushy. I told him my son handles all Sky stuff for us, but he kept saying we had to ring back that same day. When I asked for Sky’s phone number, he gave me 02045771016 instead. I just ended the call after that.Sky4 yearsMy mum, who has dementia, got a call from 02045771016. The person on the other end sounded really aggressive, and unfortunately, she ended up sharing her bank details with them.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Sky, telling me my contract had ended and trying to get me to re-sign up. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.Sky5 yearsGot a call from some lot claiming to be sky maintenance, said my premium was going up but I could save £13 if I paid right then over the phone. When I asked for my password for proof, she refused, saying they’re just the maintenance team or summat. Sounds dodgy to me. Watch out, it’s a scam and could end up costing you £100 easily.Sky Maintenance5 yearsSomeone was masquerading as a Sky representative attempting to peddle insurance.Sky5 yearsI recently received a call from someone claiming to be with Sky, trying to sell me insurance for my gadgets. It all felt a bit off, quite honestly. I mean, why would Sky be offering that sort of thing? Just seemed a tad dodgy to me. Keep your wits about you, folks!Sky5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be “Jason” the manager at Sky about some insurance that had expired. I told my bank about it and they saw there was a pending payment that actually looked like it was for a clothes shop!SkyJason5 yearsSomebody rang up pretending they were from a firm that insures Sky dishes and all that, and they somehow convinced my elderly dad to pay them online. When I looked into it, turns out it’s just a tiny one-man operation in Romford with debts of £50k. Doesn’t seem very trustworthy to me! Watch out, folks.RomfordSubmit Your Own Report (020 4577 1016)
