Almost certainly a scam: Sky typically collects subscriptions automatically, so 'prompt paying' isn't really a thing and certainly not grounds for a discount.

With any calls from 'Sky' (especially unexpected calls) if the caller asks for your previously agreed telephone password to confirm you're the account holder (which I would expect a genuine Sky agent to do) initially give an INCORRECT one on purpose. If the caller doesn't challenge it then you know it'll be a scam call.

That will be a scam calls as Sky do not make such calls for prompt payers so just put the phone down on them should you receive any more such calls.

However, this is slightly worrying although not unusual.

It seems your personal data may have been harvested.
