Check your talk bill and you may see 0906******* This is a scam number and you will be charged even though you did not ring it on your home phone. Sky told me there is nothing they can do and no amendment to my bill was offered. Be aware.

09xx numbers are premium rate numbers. Searching for a number on Google can result in an 09xx number being listed at the top. Easy for the unwary to miss the required imformation with it about the cost of the call

Hi
The offending number call me on 6 occasions within 2 minutes and somehow bypassed my BT Gardian protection. I did not hear or pick up the phone. I said to Sky you must know who has set this scam up because when I pay my bill, the scam money must end up in somebody's account. All I got was 'it doesn't work that way'. It cost me just under £13. That's not the point. Times that by perhaps thousands and that is a good payday for criminals
