@Viorica1

How did this person gain access to your Sky account, did you receive any calls thst said they were from Sky ?

Btw, we are customers here so you are not talking to Sky, for that you will have to call Sky.

150 is the free number to use from a Sky Mobile or Sky Talk phone otherwise under "Need more help ?" link at the bottom of the page on this link is the number to call Sky on:

Say No when asked if you want a text or to go online then stay on the line

I suspect you received a call claiming to be from Sky offering either a reduction in your bill (perhaps also offering a gift) or stating there is a problem with your account - is this the case? I further suspect they asked for your account details which were given & the scammers have accessed your account & purchased these phones. If they offered a gift then you'll receive another call stating they've sent the wrong gift & that you're to send the gifts back (the phones) but the address will be a safe house & if you do this you'll lose the phones & be liable for the cost.

Did you receive an email thanking you for the purchase? If yes did you contact Sky & cancel the order?

If the phones haven't been dispatched then you should still be able to cancel. However after 4 weeks it sounds like it'll be too late.
You need to contact Sky immediately.
