I contact sky to deal with issues but within 2 days get scam calls

[john+cu]

When I have an issue with sky I call and the issue is dealt with. Great .

but within 2 days I get calls from "sky" offering huge discounts on my bill 

this is obviously a scam but it would appear to me that a sky employee is passing on information ie my phone number for use in scam calls .. I suppose if you are going to have call centres in far away lands you will get this .. anyone else getting this and what is sky doing about internal security of protecting our data

It's more likely the scammers are simply sequential dialling.

Have you rung Sky and clarified it wasn't them? These are most likely random scammers chancing their luck by calling multiple numbers until one is answered.

No I did not phone sky it's hard enough getting to speak someone when you have a problem let alone getting scam calls

Unfortunately there isn't anything Sky can do to prevent these types of calls. The advice normally given is if the customer isn't convinced the call is genuinely from Sky to hang up and call Sky by the genuine numbers provided here
