Just been scammed

Tiggsy- — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 19:36:10 GMT

I was contacted on WhatsApp by some called a Virtual Chat Support Adam App with no number and the Sky logo. He told me that I was going to get reduced bills and a free device and smart watch and I proceeded to share my screen whilst he told me to order 2 iPhones and 2 galaxy phones. He then told me that these were the gateway to getting my new tablet and watch. All the phones arrived today and I regrettably returned them back to a delivery driver. I am now nearly £2k down and have reported this to the police my bank and he retailer I was made to purchase them from. Has this happened to anyone else? I feel very angry and stupid that this has happened as I usually spot scams a mile off.

@Tiggsy- It is a very common scam, I've had loads of those call claiming to be from various providers.

It's probably not what you want to hear but even though you've reported it you may find you are going to be held liable for the balances owed for the devices.

@Tiggsy-

You definitely aren't the first to fall for this scam and won't be the last.
