Even if the call was genuinely from Sky, you can't contact their Outbound Marketing team, so far as I'm aware.

I just received a call from this number. They asked for my Sky password so I hung up immediately.

I have probably posted this advice before on this thread but I'm not going through 15 pages looking for it 😀 so…

With any calls from 'Sky' (especially unexpected calls) if the caller asks for your 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 most likely be a scam call.

Hi @werdna67   That is the correct procedure from Sky to check that they are talking to the account holder. It is not your account password, it is your telephone password which should be different to your account password. If there is any doubt, deliberately give them the wrong telephone password. If they accept it, you know you are talking to scammers.

I have had the same call today!  They ask my name and if I am I the account holder, then ask if they can call me by my first name, then hang up???
