Hi this isn't a question this is a warning to other sky users, I was scammed yesterday by someone claiming to be from sky, they rang me up on an 0800 number and said they are awarding me 30% off my phone bill and are sending me an Apple Watch because their signal has been bad this year, they asked me some basic questions which I thought were harmless, I was wrong, I ended up having 2 phones sent to me which they new was an error, and asked for me to send them back through a label they were sending by WhatsApp, luckily I realised by then that this wasn't sky, I was hoping for a miracle Apple Watch to be sent to me, don't make the same mistake I did!! Nearly got scammed out of £2000!! That's how much the phones are worth

Hi @Harriet67 a quick search of this forum shows you are not alone, there does seem to have been a spate of these scams lately.

It's funny because I never get caught out by scammers, they are definitely getting more intelligent

Always go by the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is" @Harriet67
