Could anyoe tell me if this is a scam call
Hello, today I received a phone call [removed], saying it was from Sky Broadband, and was something to do with the switch over from copper to fibre. I couldn't wait to talk, so told her to phone back later. Suprisingly, I got another call from the same person. I told her I had done a search and the number used comes up as a scam. She said that they have been getting a lot of that. She said she is part of a special team set up to sign people up to move over to fibre. I said we are already on fibre for internet. She said that she could tell me details of my account as a way to confirm that she was from Sky, but I said I would have to check up on this first.
So can anyone tell me if this is a real, genuine, call from Sky, or is it a scam caller?
Thank You for any answers.

Your post has been temporarily removed as it contains the phone number that called you. Your post should return tomorrow.
See this link

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 likely be a scam call.
