10 yearsIndeed, my partner has also fallen victim to this dubious scheme, although I'm uncertain as to the amount she might have spent. Is there anyone out there who could provide information on how to get in touch with them?10 yearsYesterday, I received a rather dubious call claiming to be from Sky’s billing department, informing me that I had made an overpayment on my account. The caller had a foreign accent, which isn’t out of the ordinary these days. Initially, I found myself disarmed enough to share my name, address, and date of birth without a second thought. However, when he went on to request my debit card details, my instincts kicked in, and I declined. Earlier in the conversation, he'd provided me with the number 08445893952, stating that I’d receive a confirmation letter shortly after. I wouldn’t describe myself as gullible, yet the chap was quite persuasive. Now, I can’t help but worry that by divulging my personal information, I may have opened a door for these shady individuals to access my bank account.Sky10 yearsOur older companions have been quite shaken after receiving a barrage of calls from this number today. Each time, the caller claims to be from Sky, insisting they need bank information to process a refund of £200. The individual on the other end introduced herself as Veronica and had an Asian accent. It’s absolutely despicable to prey on the vulnerable like this. Thankfully, they have us to guide them through such matters. I really do hope that action can be taken against these unscrupulous individuals.SkyVeronica10 yearsGot a call from a woman named Christine Williams, sounded Indian, saying we'd get a £200 refund on our Sky account. Odd bit was she asked for my bank info to "confirm" everything, even though she already knew my address and other stuff. She gave me this number to check if it was legit.Christine ' WilliamsSky10 yearsReceived a call this morning from someone claiming to be from Sky, stating I had overpaid by £200. They wanted my bank details, which seemed rather suspicious to me.Sky10 yearsHey everyone, a few weeks ago, I shared my information with them. First, they sent me a letter and soon after, I noticed £115.57 credited to my bank. They've been ringing me quite a lot to check in, which can be a bit annoying since it feels like they call nearly every other day. Still, I’m pleased I ended up getting the money in the end.10 yearsI received a rather dubious call today from someone claiming to be from the “Sky Billing Department.” They insisted that I had overpaid by a whopping £200 and asked for my wife's bank details to process a refund. However, knowing that my wife doesn’t handle our bills, I immediately became suspicious of their intentions. I swiftly told the caller where to go and made sure to report the incident to Sky. Just a heads up to others out there - be on your guard, as there are definitely some dodgy characters out there! Cheers, JimSky Billing DepartmentSkyJim10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky, saying I owed them £200 back. They asked for my bank details, but I didn’t share any. The caller left a number to ring back, but I had my doubts it was really Sky. So I got in touch with Sky’s billing dept and they confirmed they hadn’t called me at all!Sky10 yearsReceived a couple calls claiming I’d paid too much on my Sky account, like about £200 or something. They asked for my bank info but I told them why would they need it when I pay through direct debit anyway? I rang Sky myself and they said they hadn’t made any calls to me at all. Definitely fishy.Sky10 yearsThis was totally a con. Just like loads of other people have said, I was spoken to by a bloke with an Indian accent called “Robin.” He claimed he was calling from the Sky billing team in London. What he didn’t realise was that I’m a manager at Virgin Media, so I had the upper hand. I asked for a call back from his boss, some woman called “Jane,” supposedly at 6pm, and requested a full transcript and recording of the chat. He gave me a number to ring his manager back on - but honestly, I’m not holding my breath for that call!RobinSkyLondonVirgin MediaJane10 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call that felt like it was routed through an Indian call centre. The person on the other end claimed to be conducting annual reviews for Sky customers and asserted that I had supposedly overpaid £200. When I mentioned that it’s been nearly six years since I had a Sky account registered in my name, she insisted that they were actually reviewing records dating back to 2008. I've had other similar calls where they’ve requested sensitive information such as my bank details and date of birth. Each time, I've firmly refused to provide any personal information. When I confronted this caller about the possibility of it being a scam, she outright denied it. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!Sky10 yearsI got a call earlier today from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from Sky and that I was owed £200 back. I thought it sounded dodgy, so I asked for a number to ring him back on and he gave me this one. After that, I rang up Sky myself and they told me it was definitely a scam. Be careful and don’t share any info with them!Sky10 yearsMy mum got called four times over just three days by people saying she was owed £200 from some overpayment back in 2008. They seemed to have all her info but kept asking for her bank details. When she asked if they could send a letter or a cheque instead, they just said no, that wasn’t possible. Seemed pretty dodgy to me.10 yearsJust got a call from a really polite young woman telling me I'd accidentally paid £200 too much on my Sky bill. She said she needed my bank details to sort out the refund. Honestly, do they really think we’re that gullible? And if you try calling back, it’s 55p a minute - no thanks!Sky10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying I’d paid too much on my Sky bill, about £200, and deserved a refund. He seemed to know loads about me, like my full name and address. When I wouldn’t give him my debit card details to ‘verify’ where to send the cash, he got pretty annoyed. Told him straight up that we don’t even use that account for payments. Pretty sure it was a total scam.Sky10 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with Sky’s Billing Department in London, saying I was owed £200 because I overpaid. They just wanted my bank details to sort out the refund. Needless to say, I didn’t give them anything.Sky Billing DepartmentLondon10 yearsI got a ring the other day from someone claiming to be from Sky’s billing team, telling me I’d paid too much in the past. Seems quite kind of them to sort it out, but funny thing is, I’ve never even had Sky services.SkySubmit Your Own Report (0844 589 3952)
