@ABJ29 Skydo make outbound calls offering upgrades tonfull fibre from the oldercpartial fibre services asking for your phone password is standard and they can offerxa hint like its your mother's maiden name. However scammers know this and can easily spoof a genuine Sky number which do frequently start 0333 so there are no ways of knowing 100%.

One suggestion iscto purposely givecthe incorrect password which a scammer is likely to accept while a genuine Sky agent would not.

One other idea is to go into the My Sky app or website and seeing if an upgrade is offered there.
