Fraud

[Hawthorne]

Be very careful on the community I received a fraudulent call saying they wanted  to provide better broadband after I came on here about broadband going on and off they said they had to cancel my original direct debit and set up a new one to do so i nievely done this but it was fraudulent money was then taking out my account so not!!! Pay anything over the phone if you receive these calls hang up and phone sky direct

Or better still when they make a call just hang up and remember if you receive a call and it sounds to good to be true then it usually is.

Who are you replying to and who has said that?

@peter-marlow+1966 

When you were told the number would be passed to the police they almost certainly meant Action Fraud who collate such information.

@peter-marlow+1966 

You haven't tagged anyone to your post so it's unclear who you're claiming has said this. 

[peter-marlow+1966]

Yes I  know  that's  what happens sky sent me this and you open the link and fill in the  form

The same number i  have just found  phoned my daughter  this afternoon  saying  they were from  sky and could they speak to the account  holder, myself  my wife  my son and my daughter all have sky mobiles, my daughter  told them that she was not the account  holder  and if you  are from sky you would know this and put the phone down, she has just phoned  me and said she was called at about 2pm 

[peter-marlow+1966]
