30% Discount from main bill!!

Someone has contacted me saying they are from Sky and that they can do me a 30% discount on my Sky bill. Seemed a bit fishy so I hung up this is the number my phone recorded then five minutes later it was followed by another call but with a different number. I just want to make everyone awear. Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @Sam1986perth It is always worth repeating, this one has been doing the rounds for a long time. Sky even published a page warning people of this particular scam. The object of the scam is to takeover an account, then order expensive electronics that the victim ends up having to pay for.

As @MightyQuinn has been indicated this particular scam has been around for ages, along with the free tablet for continued loyalty and needing a new sim because ……etc etc.

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 will be a scam call.
