Sky Dish telephone scam..
3 Answers
This has happened to me a few times and I thought I would share it with everybody.
I get calls from "Sky" telling me that the "insurance" on my Sky Dish has run out and I should take some more out ASAP.
The last one occured yesterday. Now, I used to have Sky but cancelled my subscription 2 years ago, as most of the channels were a complete load of useless tosh. I still use the dish, however, but get my TV from their version of Freeview.
I smelt a rat with this last call, so I asked them for my Sky subscription number, as a check, but they couldn't tell me !
It turned out that they wern't Sky at all, but some other company, selling me useless insurance.
I told them that if they called me again, I would call the Police, and then put the 'phone down.
Beware of this scam...it just another one going the rounds !
