Phone number ☎️ 08761414141 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers impersonating Sky, claiming customers' viewing cards are expiring and urging for bank details to send replacements or offer discounts. Callers often have noticeable foreign accents and demonstrate some personal information, increasing their deceptive credibility. Sky emphatically denies such calls and advises never to share financial details over the phone. Many victims have provided limited information before realising the fraud and cancelling cards. The number is frequently linked to automated or poor-quality calls, with no legitimate callbacks. Users are strongly urged to report such calls to their providers and authorities, avoid engaging, and use call-blocking services to protect vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly, from falling victim to these deceptive tactics.

9 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!!9 yearsI got a call earlier from a guy with an Indian accent, asking if my missus was around. When I told him she was out working, he switched to saying my Virgin Media card would expire in a week. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.Virgin Media9 yearsThis number just rang me and I was this close to getting fooled. I’ve told my phone provider and also Sky about it because I reckon they got their info from Sky, maybe hacked or something. If enough people report it, maybe they’ll manage to stop it.Sky9 yearsI just had this number pop up on my call guardian and after seeing what others said, I hit the block option straight away. My mum is getting on a bit, so having a BT call guardian has really come in handy for keeping unwelcome calls away.9 yearsToday I got a call from a man with an Indian accent claiming he was from Sky TV. He asked if there were any pensioners living here so they could get a discount. Then he asked for my bank details, like my sort code and account number. I told him to get lost and later phoned Sky directly to let them know what had happened.Sky TVSky9 yearsI keep getting calls from this number claiming to be from Sky, saying something about a faulty card or hub. If it's not that, it’s BT on the line, insisting my hub's gone awry-what a hassle! Can't they just give us a break? Even with GPS tracking, they still manage to get through. Absolute nuisance!SkyBT9 yearsSomeone rang up asking about my Sky account details, but it felt like a total scam.Sky9 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to represent Sky, wanting to confirm my wife's details-her date of birth and address. It seems rather dodgy to me since they shouldn't be asking for that information without the account holder's permission. Definitely sounds like a scam to me... Cheers, R. Ramsay.SkyR. Ramsay9 yearsReceived a call today that raised my suspicions. An Asian woman's voice on the line, claiming she was with Sky TV, informed me that my viewing card was due for a replacement and that my subscription would be reduced by a lovely £19 each month! I immediately sensed something was amiss! Initially, it all appeared quite credible, and I even provided my date of birth, but when it came to sharing my sort code and account details, I firmly declined. This seemed to irk her quite a bit, and she abruptly cut off the call!Sky TV9 yearsI recently received a rather concerning call from this number, purporting to be from Sky TV. The caller claimed our viewing card was on the verge of expiring and insisted on verifying our name, address and even attempted to obtain our sort code. I was cautious and mentioned I didn’t have my banking details readily available. When I inquired about his name and the specific department he represented at Sky, he promptly ended the call. I immediately reached out to Sky, who assured me that they hadn’t made any such calls and that viewing cards don't actually expire. This situation is quite alarming, especially for those who may be more susceptible to such scams. Keep your wits about you!Sky TVSky9 yearsThis number is definitely not associated with Sky, those calls aren’t from them.Sky9 yearsI received a rather curious phone call recently, claiming to be from Sky. They mentioned that a new viewing card was on its way to me since my current one was on the brink of expiring in a few days. I've been with Sky for yonks, and never once have they called me up about a new card. The chap then asked for my date of birth, which immediately raised my suspicions - I knew right then it couldn’t be Sky. I probed him on why they required that info, and he insisted it was part of their identity verification process. I pointed out that Sky had never asked for such details before and I was quite convinced he wasn’t legitimate at all. I even offered to connect him with Sky, since a repair man was already at my place. Funny enough, he hung up on me! What struck me as particularly fishy was how the phone number was alarmingly similar to Sky’s official one. I’ll be dialling Sky up shortly to inform them that they’ve been targeted yet again by these con artists.Sky9 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone claiming to be Sky, telling me my viewing card was about to expire. They already had my name and address, but then asked me to confirm my date of birth, which seemed a bit dodgy to me. Since the Sky account is actually under my husband’s name, they usually don’t speak to me at all, so that made me even more wary. I didn’t give them any personal details. They wanted to know when my husband would be available for a callback, so I’m curious to see if they actually ring back!Sky9 yearsReceived a phone call earlier asserting he was from Sky. Honestly, I thought, “Yeah, right!” He droned on endlessly, and to be frank, it just lost my interest. In the end, I decided to hang up; it was all rather tedious. I'm left wondering where they even manage to source our information.Sky9 yearsGot a call from this number 08761414141 but they never told me who they were. They just asked if I was getting any benefits or tax credits and told me to press some buttons if I was. Bit weird.9 yearsI recently received a phone call from this number, and to my surprise, they already had my name and address. When they requested my date of birth and bank details, I began to feel quite uneasy. I expressed my discomfort, and they claimed to be representing Sky. It's utterly absurd what’s going on these days! Why can’t these individuals find honest work like the rest of us instead of trying to con unsuspecting victims? It seems like many of them have past experience in call centres, which just makes it all the more frustrating!Sky9 yearsThese folks kept ringing me, really pushy and somehow they already knew loads about me. I ended up giving them some new info by mistake. Once I figured out what was going on, I tried calling them back but got nothing. Then I contacted Sky and they confirmed it was a scam. I quickly rang my bank and cancelled my card. Just a heads up, watch out for this!Sky9 yearsToday I went through something pretty similar, and to be on the safe side, I ended up cancelling my card. The dodgy callers already had the first four numbers of it, which made me really nervous.9 yearsSo this bloke called me claiming to be from Sky, really pushy about needing my bank details to renew some viewing card. He already had my name and address, then asked for my birthday - stupidly I gave it to him. I got suspicious, told him I reckoned it was dodgy and then just ended the call.Sky9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Sky saying my account was about to expire and they needed my bank info. Told them Sky already has my details and asked them to email or write it down, then just ended the call. They kept pushing quite a bit.Sky9 yearsGot a call from someone saying I needed a new viewing card, he even knew my address. Then he started asking for personal details like my date of birth. I didn’t let him go any further and told him if he was really from Sky, they’d already have that info. I said I’d report the call to Sky, and that’s when he gave me a phone number and an extension. I told him there’s no way I’m calling that. Looks like a classic scam to me.Sky9 yearsSome bloke with an Indian accent rang me on 08761 414141, said he was from Sky and that my viewing card needed updating. He kept asking for my bank info, but I didn’t give it to him. He was pretty pushy, but as soon as I told him to just send me a letter from Sky with the new card, he suddenly ended the call. When I tried calling the number back, it didn’t even come up as a valid number!Sky9 yearsGot a call from the same number mentioned here. Dunno who they were but better not to share any details. Sky told me it's a scam, so be careful. Still, I’d recommend giving your bank a quick ring to check everything’s alright - they probably know more about your info than those scammers do.Sky9 yearsEarlier today I got a call from a bloke called Shane claiming to be from Sky, telling me my viewing card was about to expire. He mentioned an address that turned out to be my old one, which threw me off since I now live next door. I thought maybe I forgot to update Sky with my new details, so I told him the correct address. He then asked for my birthday, which I gave him, but when he wanted my Sky security code, I said no and ended the call. Looking back, I probably shared too much info. Also, it did seem odd that a guy with an Asian accent had an Irish name like Shane.ShaneSky9 yearsJudging by the reviews here, sounds sketchy. I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know. They didn’t bother to leave a voicemail either.9 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from Sky, telling me I needed a new Sky Q box or something like that. They asked for my bank details including my card number, which felt really dodgy. I told them it sounded like a scam straight away and didn’t give them anything. Definitely a phone scam posing as Sky!Sky9 yearsHad a dodgy call from someone pretending to be from the bank, asking for my details. Definitely a scam, don’t hand over any information. Better to report it to the police straight away.9 yearsI was informed that it belonged to Virgin Media.Virgin Media9 yearssomeone rang saying he was shane from sky about my sky viewing card that supposedly was expiring soon. i told him i'd already stopped my sky service last year. when he asked who my current provider was, i just said that's personal info. he never asked for my bank info, but i reckon that was the next step. feels like a total scam to me.ShaneSky9 yearsI received a call from this number, claiming to be from Sky.Sky9 yearsGot a call from someone with a Far East accent pretending to be from Sky. I said hold on and walked away from the phone. Then I asked for his number and ditched the call again. After a bit, he just hung up. What a rubbish scam, proper pathetic.Sky9 yearsI’ve got no clue who that was, I never pick up when I don’t know the number. They didn’t even leave a voicemail or anything.9 yearsI picked up the phone, and immediately, there was a cacophony of voices chattering away in the background. It was rather noisy, yet nobody addressed me directly, so I decided to hang up.Submit Your Own Report (0876 141 4141)
