Phone number ☎️ 08704141414 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call number often posing as representatives from Sky or Virgin Media, targeting mainly elderly or vulnerable people. Callers use convincing scripts about expiring viewing cards, new boxes, or special discounts but quickly attempt to extract sensitive bank details, date of birth, and account info. They frequently display poor English with accents, background noise suggesting call centres, and can be aggressive or insistent. Victims report no legitimate association with Sky/Virgin and warn others about repeated calls, false personal information knowledge, and refusal to provide proper verification. Many have flagged the number to official providers. Overall, this number is linked to fraudulent schemes aiming to steal banking details under the guise of utility company contact.

9 yearsJust yesterday, this particular number contacted my 78-year-old mother-in-law, pretending to represent Virgin Media (which they absolutely weren't). They managed to extract her bank information under the guise of offering her a 'better' deal. Luckily, she took the precaution of reaching out to Virgin directly to confirm their legitimacy and was horrified to find out she’d been duped. She's promptly cancelled her card, which fortunately meant no funds were taken, but now she's facing the annoying task of sorting out a new one. It’s quite evident that this number has been operating for a while, targeting unsuspecting individuals.Virgin MediaVirgin9 yearsSomeone rang up saying they were from Sky and wanted my 16-digit card number. When I told them they should already have it, he tried to tell me the first 4 digits but got them wrong. Earlier today, I had four calls from a bloke with an Indian accent, then a woman with a Filipino accent called, trying to sweet-talk me. It all felt pretty dodgy to me.Sky9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky, saying they were sending a new viewing card for free. They wanted to verify some details but never really gave clear answers. After I kept asking, they just ended the call. Seems like a scam to me. The number they called from was 08704141414.Sky9 yearsJust had someone ring me up about some new Sky viewing card but I don't even have Sky, never had it. Seems like these calls are getting more random!Sky9 yearsA chap rang me earlier, claiming that our Sky card was nearing its expiration. I instantly suspected it was dodgy, since Sky typically employs local call centres staffed by fluent English speakers.Sky9 yearsSome bloke called claiming to be from Sky, saying pensioners get a year off or something and that a new viewing card would arrive soon. Then he started asking for my bank sort code but I told him I’ve been a Sky customer since 1999, so they should already have everything about me. The guy seemed clueless, so I said I don’t think you actually work there and hung up.Sky9 yearsGot a call from a guy who sounded Asian, saying he was with Sky TV. Total scammer. I just ended the call straight away.Sky TV9 yearsI recently received a call from this number regarding my Virgin card linked to my television. I played along with the conversation, even though I'm not a Virgin TV customer, which made it evident that it was a scam call. When I inquired whether the woman on the line, who had a distinct Indian accent amidst a cacophony of background noise, would allow me to record the chat-given that I had heard about scammers making such calls-she agreed. However, just as I attempted to hit a few buttons to start recording, my phone mysteriously died on me. Quite the coincidence, wouldn’t you say?VirginVirgin TV9 yearsThis number's been ringing me a lot. I picked up once last night and some bloke said he was from Sky, then just dropped the call. Sounded like there was a lot of noise in the background too. Then the same number buzzed me again at 11:05 pm, I answered and all I got was silence. Think I’ll just block it from now on.Sky9 yearsI had a rather dubious call from someone claiming to be with Virgin, asking for my banking information. When I suggested he should already have that info if he's truly employed by them, he insisted it wasn't stored on their systems. He went on about how I couldn't possibly get my discount without providing my details. Unsurprisingly, I deemed that unacceptable and hung up. However, he seemed persistent, as I received another five calls from him! I reached out to Virgin, and they've been informed about this scam. As a precaution, they’ve even offered to change my phone number at no cost should anything similar occur again.Virgin9 yearsReceived a call inquiring about my bank details; the caller claimed to be affiliated with Sky.Sky9 yearsI just grabbed the phone to answer and before I could say anything there was this weird beep and then nothing, just dead silence.9 yearsI received a phone call from a gentleman with a distinctly Indian accent. He claimed that my Sky card was on the verge of expiry and went on to mention my address and postcode, as well as my date of birth. The call ended abruptly, and there was a rather unsettling chuckle in his tone. I genuinely feel for those who might fall prey to these despicable fraudsters.9 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent saying they were phoning from Virgin. They said an engineer was coming round on Saturday to install a new box to upgrade my system and asked for my account info. Honestly, there should be some law to stop these dodgy scams trying to steal your details like this.Virgin9 yearsClaimed to be from Sky and mentioned they were dispatching a new viewing card, which raised my eyebrows. The moment he requested my bank details, I told him I didn’t have them handy. This was at half-past nine in the morning! He then said he’d give me a bell again at four in the afternoon. In the meantime, I checked the number that had rung me via 1471, only to discover it was 08704141414, which had nothing to do with Sky, surprise, surprise. True to his word, he called back at four and started probing for my bank details. I told him that if he were genuinely from Sky, he’d already have that information on file!Sky9 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming he was with Sky. He asked for my date of birth to apparently send a new Sky viewing card, but I didn't give it to him. Be careful and don’t share your DOB - it’s clearly a scam. BT really should do something to stop these nasty scammers bothering us.SkyBT9 yearsThis scam is quite persuasive. They claimed to provide a 20% discount on the Sky package, but let's be honest-Sky's prices are only ever on the rise, never falling!Sky9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Sky but he kept messing up my name. I told him there’s no one here by that name but he didn’t seem to care and kept going anyway. His English sounded really off and when I listened carefully in the background, it definitely sounded like a busy call centre. I just ended the call quickly.Sky9 yearsHad a ring from this number earlier, some guy with a thick accent claiming my Virgin Media box was about to expire in a week. He got my name right but messed up on my address. He said he’d post me a new box but then asked for my DOB, which seemed fishy. Told him he didn’t need that info to send the box but he kept pushing. Total scam, stay clear!Virgin Media9 yearsThis number rang me up earlier, saying my Sky viewing card was about to expire and they'd send a replacement. I agreed, but then the bloke asked for my date of birth, even though he already had my name and address. He claimed he needed it to give me further instructions. I wasn’t having it and told him no more details from me, suspecting it was dodgy. I said if he was genuinely from Sky, just post the card and instructions. He said fine. Now I’m just waiting to see what happens!Sky9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky about sending me a new card. They asked for my personal info, address and all that. The guy on the phone had an Indian accent. I just told him to buzz off.Sky9 yearsJust like a few others mentioned, I got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were sending me a new viewing card. They gave me a six digit code to put into the remote to activate it. They did have my address right but then asked for my birthday to confirm my identity. I said no and they quickly hung up. I rang Sky afterwards and they looked into my account and said there was no record of any activity that day and thought it was definitely a scam.Sky9 yearsGot a call from this number about my viewing card needing renewal, they said a new one was on its way. The lady gave me a 6 digit code to activate it but then tried to get my bank info to connect the new card to my Sky account. I said I'd ring Sky myself, which I did, and they had no clue about it. Seemed like she was calling from a hectic call centre or something.Sky9 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming to be with Sky, said they had a special deal for me since I’m retired. He seemed to know quite a bit about me, but then he wanted my bank details. I wasn’t having any of it and told him no, then he just hung up.Sky9 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be sending a new Sky card offering a 20% discount on my Sky subscription. They requested my name and date of birth along with my bank details. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!Sky9 yearsGot a voicemail from someone named Rosie at the Chargeback Group sayin my claim for £439 was approved and to ring her back on 02032901020. I looked up both numbers and figured it’s best not to risk calling that one. Too fishy for me.RosieChargeback Group9 yearssome guy rang saying he was from sky and needed to send me a new viewing card, but when he started asking for my birthdate i told him to piss off. besides, i dont even have sky!Sky9 yearsI received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Sky, discussing our viewing card and mentioning an update to their records. They were aware that we pay via direct debit but then proceeded to ask which bank we use. I immediately thought, if this were genuinely Sky, they wouldn’t need to ask for that kind of information. I hung up, feeling suspicious, and I later reached out to Sky directly; they confirmed it was indeed a scam.Sky9 yearsThey ring me pretty much every day but there's nobody on the line when I pick up.9 yearsI received a call from a chap claiming to be from Sky TV, saying he needed to dispatch a new viewing card. He then asked me for my date of birth to confirm my identity. I swiftly told him to take a hike since I don’t even have an account with Sky!Sky TVSky9 yearsGot a robocall telling me they weren’t able to get through, but they said if it’s an emergency just ring 999 twice. Bit strange if you ask me!9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with Sky, saying they had to talk about a new, updated viewing card they were sending me. Then he started asking me all these so-called security questions to prove who I was. When he rang, the first thing he asked for was my birthday, which I only gave after hesitating. Next, he wanted me to confirm the sort code linked to my Sky account. I flat out refused and hung up straight away. I bet if I'd stayed on the line, he would've asked for my full account number next!SkySubmit Your Own Report (0870 414 1414)
