Phone number ☎️ 08779444111 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting Sky and Virgin Media customers, with callers posing as company representatives to claim equipment updates or subscription offers. They often use convincing personal details and tactics like hold music, attempting to extract bank or account information. Many report recognising inconsistencies, such as requests for unusual information or unsolicited calls, and advise against sharing any financial details. Calls typically originate from individuals with foreign accents and may involve repeated attempts despite refusal. Genuine companies do not request bank details over the phone unexpectedly, so vigilance is advised. Users recommend blocking these numbers and contacting official customer service channels to verify any concerns.

8 yearsGot a call today asking me if I was actually me - how odd is that? I asked if he knew his number was about to go on my "annoying callers" list. No answer, just silence, then that awful endless beep. Guess he’s keen on ringing back to get my bank info. Funny thing is, I’ve already got his! Sorted!8 yearsI had a call from someone acting like they were from Virgin, but it was obviously a scam. Definitely a dodgy attempt trying to fool me.Virgin8 yearsGot a call today from someone saying my Sky box would stop working in a week and they’d be sending an engineer on the 14th to fit SkyQ. They wanted my bank info, but I told them they should already have that if I’m paying for the service. Said I'd call back once I had my card details. Watch out, this sounds like a scam.SkySky Q8 yearsMy wife received a dodgy call, with the caller claiming that our bank card was nearing its expiry and that a replacement would be dispatched. The individual identified herself with an English name, yet her accent clearly indicated she was of Asian descent. Regrettably, my wife ended up disclosing her date of birth, as the caller mentioned that many elderly customers were leaving Sky and that pensioners might benefit from reduced rates. It was only when the woman requested my wife's banking information for confirmation that she realised it was a scam. Furthermore, Sky makes it quite challenging for customers to lodge complaints or speak to a real person; instead, one just gets caught up in an endless loop of automated responses!Sky9 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady who seemed to know quite a bit about me. She asked for my account number, but I wasn't having any of it. Told her if she really worked for Virgin Media, she'd already have everything on their system. Made me suspicious though - they must have been trained by Sky or Virgin to sound so convincing. I'm keeping an eye out now to make sure my identity hasn't been compromised.Virgin MediaSky9 yearsI had a rather interesting encounter with a gentleman from India the other day. He was extraordinarily courteous and informed me that my Sky+ box was on the brink of ceasing to function, and they were planning to send a replacement. What caught my attention was how he mentioned my husband's first name and that we were paying via Direct Debit. Naturally, I was a bit suspicious and asked if they required my bank details, to which he confidently replied no. However, I insisted on reaching out to Sky myself to clarify matters, especially since I hadn't received any prior notification, either through the post or a message on my Sky box. It felt rather crafty, as they initially had a recorded message discussing Sky services.IndiaDirect DebitSky9 yearsI got a call from a polite bloke with an Indian accent who said my Sky+ box was about to stop working and they’d be sending a replacement. He even knew my husband’s first name and that we pay by direct debit, which threw me off. When I asked if he needed my bank info, he said no. I told him I’d ring Sky myself because I found it weird not getting any letter or message on the box. It was a really smart trick, especially with the hold message about Sky services at the start - almost fooled me!IndiaSky9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Virgin, said they needed to send a tech to upgrade my box since it was expiring in a week. They wanted my bank info! Definitely a scam, so watch out.Virgin9 yearsI received a call from a woman with an Indian accent, claiming I needed to upgrade my viewing card. She mentioned that she would send a new one and seemed to have my address and sort code. However, when she asked for my account number, I politely declined and hung up. This was the first time I've encountered something like this!9 yearsA chap rang me up to say that my Sky box was on the verge of expiring and that they’d be dispatching a shiny new model at no extra cost in the coming days. I couldn't help but wonder why I hadn’t received any email from Sky about this, to which he abruptly hung up on me. How odd!Sky9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky, asking for my bank info. Definitely a scam, watch out!Sky9 yearsReceived a call claiming my card was nearing its expiry-can you believe it? I've got three cards! They even had the cheek to mention my name and address, before probing me about which bank I use. I thought, "Surely you ought to know that!" and promptly hung up. I then redialled, only to discover I'd added the number to my call blocker. Utter fraudsters, if you ask me!9 yearsI got loads of calls from this number, they kept asking the same questions like others have mentioned before. When I asked who they banked with, I said well you ought to know that and ended the call. Then they tried ringing again, but I’ve blocked them now. Scam artists for sure, don’t hand over any of your info!9 yearsI just had a rather dubious call purportedly from Sky, where they were fishing for my bank details to issue a new Sky card. Be warned, it's a scam!Sky9 yearsPretended to be ringing from Sky, but he definitely wasn’t.Sky9 yearsI got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from Sky. He said an engineer named Phil would come round on Wednesday 31st January to sort out my Sky box. When I dialled 1471, the number showed as 08779444111. I’ve double checked with Sky themselves and they told me they never got in touch with me at all.SkyPhil9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky. Just a heads up > nobody legit will ring you asking for bank info, its always some dodgy scammer trying to rip you off. Stay sharp!Sky9 yearsI got a call but they didn’t say anything or leave a voicemail for me to get back to.9 yearsI just ignored the call and let the voicemail take it, but they ended the call straight away.9 yearsGot a call supposedly from Sky, but the person on the line sounded like they were from abroad and asked for my bank info - watch out for this one!Sky9 yearsThey called saying they're from Sky and told me I was the account holder, which isn’t true, and that my Sky card had expired. My name wasn’t even right. I know for sure Sky wouldn’t ring up like that. Definitely felt like a scam to me.Sky9 yearsThey claimed to be from Sky, but their accent was clearly foreign. When I mentioned I wasn’t interested, they just ended the call. This isn’t the first time either - they’ve rung me before trying to push insurance for my Sky box.SkySubmit Your Own Report (0877 944 4111)
