Phone number ☎️ 08701834901 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number used by callers pretending to be from Sky or Virgin Media. Callers often claim that viewing cards are expiring or bills can be reduced, then ask for personal info like date of birth before quickly requesting bank details. Many report the callers using fake names and struggling to provide legitimate contact info, sometimes getting rude or hanging up when challenged. Several victims sensed something was off as Sky cards don’t expire and the companies seldom request bank details over the phone. The number is linked to multiple suspicious calls involving pressure tactics and attempts to obtain sensitive data, often from people living in the UK. Users strongly advise caution as these calls show classic signs of scams.

9 yearsOn the 6th of December, I got a phone call from a man with an Asian accent claiming to be Barry Conner from Virgin Media. He said they were swapping my box for a newer version and would lower the monthly bill by 18%. First, he asked for my birth date, then suddenly wanted my bank info. I felt uneasy straight away and told him I never share bank details on calls. He told me to ring back on the number he gave me and gave a reference code, but I didn’t bother. Still annoyed at myself for giving away my birth date!Barry ConnerVirgin Media9 yearsI received a message claiming my SKY subscription was up for renewal. The strange thing is, I don’t even have a SKY account! I got this number after requesting a contact for assistance, and they were supposedly based in Edinburgh. To top it all off, when I tried to check back via 1471, all I got was '00000000000'. Quite peculiar, isn’t it?Edinburgh9 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was from Sky News, gave me a new address and all. Said my viewing card was about to run out and they needed to check a few bits so they could switch everything over to a new card. Then he handed me this number to ring them back.Sky9 yearsA little while back, I got a call from an Indian guy telling me my Sky viewing card was about to run out in a week. Before that, a few months ago, an Indian woman rang me with the same story. They asked if they could confirm my address but I told them I’d ring back later, so they gave me this number to call.Sky9 yearsGot a ring from someone called Michelle claiming to be from Sky. She said my card had expired and there was a replacement on its way, but she needed a fresh password for it. Strange enough, she knew my husband’s date of birth and our address, but when she asked for bank info, I just wouldn’t hand it over. When I asked for her full name and contact number, she wouldn’t say her name but did give me the number I called from. Told her I’d get in touch with Sky directly instead of sharing any bank details over the phone.MichelleSky9 yearsGot a phone call off someone named Michelle, said she was from Sky. She told me my card had run out and a new one was supposedly on the way, needed a fresh password for it. She even mentioned my husband's birthday and where we live, which was a bit creepy. But when she asked for bank info, I said no way. Asked her for her full name and number; she wouldn’t say her surname but did give me the number I called her from. Told her I'd ring Sky directly instead 'cause no chance I’m handing over bank details on a random call.MichelleSky9 yearsI got a call from Selina telling me my card was due to expire in a week. She had the wrong address though. I didn’t want to give my new address over the phone, so she told me I could just call back. Even though she seemed really professional, I couldn’t help feeling a bit wary.Selina9 yearsThis guy called saying my Sky card had expired. Asked for all sorts of info like my address and postcode. Then he said to update my viewing card, he needed my bank details and sort code to change the direct debit. Got a bit iffy about it, told him to ring me later so I could check if he was for real. Surprise, surprise, never heard from him again!Sky9 yearsThey clearly already had my details as a Virginia Media client, including my name and address. When they asked for a few security questions, I gave a fake first name and some wrong info, but they didn’t catch it. Then they went on about my card expiring and wanted to verify my direct debit info. I didn’t share any bank details, so they put me through to the manager, Andrea, who gave me a number to ring back. No way I’m calling that back. On the bright side, I had the phone on speaker which turned out to be a good lesson for my older kids about recognising scam calls.Virginia MediaAndrea9 yearsGot a call from someone called Steven saying my Sky card was running out. I pointed out my HD box doesn’t use one, and then he mentioned sending round an engineer as well. He wanted my address to post the card but when I asked why Sky wouldn’t have it on file and asked him to verify his details, he gave me this number and started getting a bit annoyed. Asked where he worked and he said central London but couldn’t pinpoint a location, then claimed the head office was in Scotland. When I pressed for specifics about where in Scotland, he told me to google it and then just hung up!StevenSkyLondonScotland9 yearsToday I got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who said his name was Steven Barnes. When I asked him to spell his surname, he hesitated and sounded like he was making it up on the spot. Instantly, I suspected it was dodgy since Sky cards don’t have expiry dates. I then asked for his phone number, and the one he gave me is the one here. Once I mentioned I’d be verifying the call to confirm it was legit Sky, he just cut off the call straight away.Steven BarnesSky9 yearsGot a call from this number, said they were from Sky and talked about a new Sky card and needing to update direct debit details. They asked me for my sort code and account number, which I gave, but when they asked for the long number on the card I refused to share it. Then they wanted to know my email, but said emails were encrypted so they couldn't reveal theirs. Seemed fishy to me.Sky9 yearsI got a call from someone who said his name was Jordan and spoke with an Indian accent. He told me he could help me save 25% on my Sky bill as I’m on a pension. It seemed a bit dodgy when he couldn’t get my date of birth right. When he asked for more info like bank details, I just said I didn’t have that. I asked him for his phone number (0870 183 4901 Ext 2010) but didn’t ring back. Later, I contacted Sky to let them know about the call.JordanSky9 yearsGot a call from some guy called Steven claiming to be from Sky. He said he needed my bank info to verify a card replacement. Told him no way and didn’t share anything.StevenSky9 yearsJust like many others have said, I got a call from an Asian guy saying our sky card was about to run out in a week and that they'd post us a new one. But not long after, he started asking for my bank info. Here’s the number he called from!9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Sky, telling me my card was about to expire in a week. To ‘verify’ they asked for my DOB, then suddenly wanted my bank info. That’s when I started feeling fishy about the whole thing. I asked for his name and a contact number, and he said Steven Watts and gave the number above - probably some premium rate line. Seriously, how many Indian blokes do you know called Steven Watts? Makes no sense at all!SkySteven Watts9 yearsThis bloke claimed he worked for Sky and already had my name and address. He said I had to provide my bank info so he could send me a replacement Sky card. I told him I never share bank details over the phone and asked for a contact number to ring him back. He gave me a number and then just cut the call. I didn’t bother ringing back. After looking it up here, I’m really glad I didn’t give any bank information.Sky9 yearsMy dad got a call from this number saying they were from Sky and could help him cut down his bill since he’s over 60. They then started asking for his date of birth and bank info. Feeling a bit iffy, he asked for the caller's name and phone number. When I checked with Sky, they confirmed they never call customers asking for bank details like that. Definitely dodgy!Sky9 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming to be from Sky, telling me my card was about to expire. She started asking for all sorts of bank info, which struck me as odd since I figured they’d already have that on file. Feeling a bit iffy, I asked her for her number so I could ring her back. Later, I looked up Sky online and found out they never ask customers for bank details over the phone, plus the viewing cards don’t even have expiry dates. So, I’m pretty sure that call was a scam.Sky9 yearsSomebody phoned me saying they could send an updated sky card, then gave me a number to ring back on. I ended up telling them my date of birth, but something felt off so I cut the call short.Submit Your Own Report (0870 183 4901)
