02045771770 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02045771770 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting mainly elderly people by pretending to be from Sky or related to Sky Protect insurance. Callers use pressure tactics to coerce victims into handing over bank or card details, often demanding immediate payment for fake TV maintenance or insurance contracts that do not exist. Many victims report aggressive behaviour, attempts to charge cancellation fees, and calls from multiple numbers. Several cases involve relatives being convinced despite having no such contracts. The scammers use plausible names and UK-style phone numbers to appear genuine but are unrelated to Sky or any legitimate company. Victims frequently have to cancel bank cards after falling for the ruse, and attempts to get refunds or contract details usually fail. Authorities and banks are involved but the calls keep recurring.

my 85 year old mum got a call from someone saying they were from the TV repair insurance, asking for £120. we tried to get the bank involved but no luck. then they phoned her again, this time saying it was about her sky package, which she hasn't got. luckily, she didn’t pay anything else and asked them to send details by email, and sure enough, they sent a message from this same number.

Someone rang my 88-year-old uncle pretending to be from SKY assured Ltd, claiming he owed money for his TV licence and that his maintenance cover was about to run out. Mind you, his TV licence was paid up not long ago and he doesn’t require any maintenance plan. He told them to call me instead, but they never got in touch. Unfortunately, he ended up giving them the three-digit code from his bank card, and they withdrew £99. My uncle reckons they must have already had his card details, probably bought from somewhere else since he’s been conned before.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Sky, claiming they had a deal on maintenance renewal. They wouldn’t take no for an answer and seemed to be aiming at older people. When I said I wasn't sure, the bloke named “Austin” handed me over to a woman, who said I was legally bound to pay. I told her no way and asked her to email me the contract - then she suddenly went quiet. Ended up cancelling my card because they somehow got the first four digits, so I got a bit caught out giving my info.

Got a call earlier claiming they had an amazing deal for renewing my Sky Protect. They acted like they were checking my bank info and then asked me to update my card details. When I said I never share bank info on the phone, especially to someone who called me, they quickly handed me to a ‘manager’ who just bounced me right back to a bloke called Chris. I told them I’m well aware of Adult Safeguarding and all those scam tricks (which I really am!). Then it struck me - I actually cancelled my Sky Protect subscription over a year ago!

There’s a dodgy TV insurance scam targeting older people, like my mum. They somehow convinced her to pay £100 for some sort of repair insurance. Luckily, the bank caught the payment and stopped it, but these scammers tried to take the money twice within a day. Since then, they’ve been ringing her nonstop (at least eight calls so far) telling her to contact her bank and unfreeze the payment. It’s pretty worrying how persistent they are!

My elderly family member kept getting calls from someone called "Danny" trying to get him to renew some TV repair insurance he’s never actually signed up to. They rang a few times before we blocked the number, but then they started calling from other ones as well. It feels like some kind of scam aimed at older folks.

My mum’s been getting calls over and over from this number, someone named Tony according to the note she’s scribbled down by the phone. She hasn’t told us what it’s about though. There’s also a figure of £40 beside the name, which is worrying. Thankfully, we froze her bank cards just in case anything dodgy happened. I’ve called the number myself and told them to cut it out. Guess we’ll have to wait and see if they listen.

These scammers tricked my elderly parents, who are nearly 90, into handing over £99 by saying they were behind on payments for some SKY TV and phone service. It almost sounded believable since they do get their internet and landline from SKY. Honestly, just don’t pick up the phone if you don’t recognise the number - that’s the safest bet.

I got a call from someone claiming to be Sky, but it was definitely a scam. They sounded really convincing at first, but as soon as I said I knew it was a con, they got rude and started swearing. If you get a call like that, just hang up and block the number straight away. I actually got tricked for a few minutes and had to ring my bank to cancel my card. Even though I acted fast, they still managed to take some money. Now I’m waiting to see if they’ll give me my cash back.

SCAM ALERT! Got a call about renewing a Sky contract I never had. Bloody annoying, these Indian scammers! PRO TIP: If someone rings you with an Indian accent claiming to be "David Jones" or "John Smith," they’re trying to con you. Just disconnect and don’t give them the time of day. Or, like me, mess around for half an hour with a fake credit card to waste their time 😀

Just a heads up about this firm claiming to be Sky breakdown cover trying to get you to renew. It’s a proper clever scam. I kept hanging up, but someone new would ring straight back every time. They sound really convincing and honest. They even give you a number to call back, but it’s definitely not Sky. Looks like they’re still running this con as of April 2024.

This number kept calling me loads of times a day about renewing some "sky assured" plan, either £140 to keep it or £80 to cancel. They threatened to cut off our TV service if we didn’t pay up. When I asked for proof of any agreement with my parents or a bill, they wouldn’t show me anything, saying it was too late since the renewal date had passed. Honestly, they were very aggressive and not at all friendly.

Some con artists rang up an elderly family member, acting like they were from SKY. They claimed she was eligible for a discount on her subscription. When she said no, they kept pushing really hard until she ended up giving them her card info. They even told her to call back on 02045771770 to check it was SKY, but obviously, that was just their bogus helpline. We’re currently speaking to the bank to get her card blocked and sorted out.

I received a call from a lady associated with this number who was attempting to persuade me into paying for ongoing insurance on Sky devices. Following that, I was passed over to a chap who persistently urged me to approve some payments. As soon as the conversation wrapped up, I rang my bank's security team and alerted them about the situation, which led to them freezing all transactions from my account. It was a bit of a hassle to have to cancel my debit card, but thankfully, nothing had been siphoned off before I managed to get the block in place.

This number keeps hassling someone to renew a SKY sure package costing £140 a year, or else they’ll have to cough up an £80 cancellation fee. Thing is, our elderly unwell family member never even had this package. They’re really pushy and their English is quite bad, making it seem like they’re calling from some far-off call centre. Definitely wouldn’t trust them at all.

They managed to scam £150 from my 93-year-old mum and even phoned back trying the same trick again. They claimed it was something to do with Sky insurance. Since then, she’s had to get a new phone number and a replacement bank card. What’s really worrying is that they already had her old card info as well as her number from the phone book, and all they needed was the 3-digit security code to make a payment.

They claimed to be from some Virgin Media office, said I'd lose my services if I didn't cough up £100. I hung up on the first call, but they kept ringing me - had about four calls just this morning! The last one asked if my bank had called to confirm the payment. I told them I’d checked with Virgin, and they hadn’t a clue about it. Ended up cancelling my card through the bank, luckily no money was taken. Still can’t believe I actually got fooled by their pushy attitude. Now I’m stuck dealing with the hassle of a cancelled card.

Someone claiming to be from Virgin Media called, saying I'd lose my service if I didn’t pay £100. I hung up straight away the first time they called, but they still phoned me four times this morning. The final call was trying to check if my bank had contacted me to approve the payment. I told them I contacted Virgin myself and they had no idea about any payment. I ended up cancelling my card just in case, thankfully no money was taken. I can't believe I got drawn in by their pushy attitude. Now I’ve got the bother of sorting stuff out after cancelling my card.

Had pretty much the same run in as a lot of others here - this bloke said he was from Sky and was pushing me to pay right away because apparently my direct debit was cancelled (and they were offering a cheaper deal, of course). When I asked for a reason, he just dodged the question and wouldn’t email me anything to prove it. Then he even got some other guy, who he called his supervisor, to jump in and try to persuade me to cough up that day, threatening that I’d face cancellation charges if I didn’t stick to the contract. Quite the performance!

Indeed, I received a call from this number, claiming that my Sky maintenance package was up for renewal and that they needed my bank details. I chose not to engage, reached out to Sky directly, and discovered that this number isn't theirs at all. To make matters worse, the same caller rang me again about six hours later. When I informed him that I’d already checked with Sky, he promptly hung up. So, I can confidently assert that this is undoubtedly a scam number!

Later, I searched this number and landed on this site. I quickly called my bank and had my card cancelled. Just a heads up to watch out for these scams!

My mum, who's recently lost her husband and quite old now, got a call from someone named Gordon Hannah. He kept pestering her to give her bank card details for a cancellation charge. Poor lady was so mixed up by it all.

My 95 year old mum keeps getting calls from these people, and sadly she did hand over some money to them before. Now they’re back at it, ringing every few days. I’ve told her to just hang up but they seem really convincing. She’s not going to fall for it again, thank goodness, but it’s still really stressful for her. We’ve blocked the number now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they start calling from a different one soon!

Received a rather dodgy call from someone claiming to be an insurance broker named "Mr. Swinton.” He insisted that we needed to make some changes to lower our premiums for our Sky dish and digibox cover. After hanging up, they had the audacity to ring me again. This time, I fed him some made-up information, and strangely, he didn’t bother to ring back. The chap had a thick Asian accent, and the connection was atrocious. Quite the nuisance!

Purporting to represent Sky Protect, this caller is extremely insistent and quite convincing. They seem to have a particular knack for preying on the older generation, continually pressing for sensitive bank information.

About a month back, a bloke from abroad rang me up saying something about renewing my Sky maintenance for another year and that I needed to stop my monthly payments. Then today, a woman with a foreign accent called regarding the same thing. We ended up having a right argument because I’d already been tricked into handing over £80 to the man before and didn’t get any paperwork or proof. She told me if I had any questions, I could ring her on 02045771770. I’ve since cancelled my card as a precaution, so watch out and don’t let yourself get scammed like I did.

Got a call from this number saying they were from Sky maintenance. Scared our old uncle into believing his contract was about to finish and he needed to pay straight away. They ended up taking £180 from him. Tried calling back, but no response at all. Totally a scam, don’t trust them.

Warning: Got a call from someone pretending to be Sky Maintenance, targeting my parents. They kept pestering and demanding bank details. Absolutely do not talk to them! Just block the number since they keep ringing again. Better to ring Sky directly and report this scam.

Should you get a call from this number claiming to represent Sky Assured, I strongly advise you to disconnect immediately-it’s a con! They’ve no real affiliation with Sky at all.

I have a rather concerning situation involving a gentleman, who goes by the name of Stephen, incessantly harassing a vulnerable elderly client of mine, who is a sprightly 90 years young. He insists that she owes him £150 for the upkeep of her television and related equipment. Each time she terminates the call, he relentlessly rings her back. It’s evident this is a scam, as she has never availed herself of such services, and his tactics seem rather coercive.

My old mum got a call about some sky maintenance charge. The caller was really pushy, kept asking for her card info for payment. She ended up giving it but thankfully told us straight away so we could cancel the card. They tried ringing again twice for payment, but me and mum answered and told the bloke to quit calling.

Received a call from someone alleging to be from Sky Protect, pressuring for a yearly renewal fee. They offered to slash the payment by £35 annually. My concern is for this gentleman, who is 99 and quite frail. I urge anyone who can to intervene and put a stop to these dubious practices.

Got a call from 02045771770, this woman with a foreign accent said she was from Sky and was pushing for payment on some final year maintenance. Claimed it should be £120 a year but was willing to cut it down to £90 as a 'discount'. Then she started talking about a cancellation fee of £90 if I didn't pay up. I wasn’t having any of it and shut her down quick. The phone kept buzzing off and on for like 10 minutes before finally quieting down.

Someone called saying they were from Sky Maintenance, but then started offering massive discounts for a couple of years and asked me some odd questions about my finances. I looked it up on this website and realised it was a scam, so I told them and ended the call. Later, a guy rang back saying he was a supervisor but just cut off the call. I’ve since reported it to Barclaycard.

My Dad’s 87 and some muppet phoned up pretending to be from Sky, saying they needed £100 to "keep his Sky gear safe". He ended up giving them his card info but soon clued up and rang me. Luckily I was able to freeze the card in time. It’s a proper nasty trick, making old people panic and rush. Scammers should just do everyone a favour and disappear!

This number kept phoning my elderly folks loads about some Sky maintenance payment. My parents said they’d pay since they do have Sky. So I called the number, and the bloke said they weren't connected to Sky at all and no one from their firm had called my parents. When I asked for a manager, they said he would call me back. He rang me later, sounded just like the same guy, and got quite annoyed, saying my dad had agreed and they had it recorded. He also said they already had my dad’s bank info and had taken £90, with more coming through tomorrow. The guy called himself Stefan.

My elderly mum got a call from this number, some woman claiming to be from Sky Protect. Thankfully, we contacted the bank right away and they cancelled the payment. Then, the scammers called back, asking why the payment was stopped. Mum told them off and said never to call again. Such awful scammers, really disgusting.

My elderly mum got a call from this number, a woman claiming to be from Sky Protect. We were fortunate to contact the bank just in time and managed to cancel the payment. Afterwards, the same woman rang again to say the payment was blocked and wanted an explanation. Mum told them she didn’t want any more calls. What awful scammers!

I paid Mr Shaun Desouza £160 for a two year carver plan on my Sky gear. Then, about 20 minutes later, he called me back to cancel the contract. When I asked about cancelling, they said I'd have to pay £80 to end it. Quite annoying, really.
