The account number was correct was it?

Talbot: you took the words right out of my mouth.

It does look very genuine. How do people know?

[-Talbot-]

I wouldn't ring that number I would go on-line to check my account.

It's not a scam. It's for people who left Sky before 2012 to get a small refund. Calls to 08081 numbers are fre from the UK.

Tilly: If the account number was correct then it will fool most people that aren't aware of how much they pay to their sky account. If the account number isn't correct which I suspect it isn't then it probably won't fool as many people. The first thing I do when ever I get a letter from anyone with a contact number is search "Company free contact number" and see if they have a national rate number to call.
