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.

I’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.

Got 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.

These 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!

The 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.

This 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.

I 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.

Yesterday 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.

Got 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.

My 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.

Got 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.

Bit 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...

My 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.

Thankfully, by the time he told me, I'd already cancelled the card so no cash was taken.

Just 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.

My 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.

Like 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.

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.

Just a heads up about those scam calls from a few hours ago - they’re definitely dodgy. Don’t answer or share any personal info with them. If you already have, make sure to block your bank cards straight away. Also, give Sky’s customer service a ring on their free number 08001512747 to let them know what happened. Looks like there’s been a data leak somewhere, so be cautious with other providers too as the scammers seem connected. You can check online on sites that track scam calls to see where they originate from. Stay safe, I’ve learned the hard way!

Some 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.

They 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.

My 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.

Two 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!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with Sky Tec, saying my insurance needed updating and asking for my bank details. Did a quick search and found out Sky Tec doesn’t even exist. Total scam!

I got a call from someone claiming to be from Sky’s tech support, saying they needed to verify my contract for its 2nd year and tried to sell me a discount if I signed up for two more years instead of just one. Whenever I asked stuff that seemed obvious if they really worked with Sky, they just handed me over to some “supervisor.” After a bit, they just gave up on me and ended the call.

Just 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.

My 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.

Loads 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.

A 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.

Some 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.

An 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.

Got 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.

My 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.

My 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.

My 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.

This 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!

Got 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.

Got 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.

Somebody 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.
