I received a call from sky

[Rob571]

I received a call from Sky, 0800 761 3372, advising that I could receive assistance regarding lowering monthly bills. I said OK yes. The caller did not reply. I said it that it? The caller hung up.

I don't understand why Sky made this call, but assume it is to try to increase monthly bills, rather than decrease? 

If it was a genuine call to assist financially then please feel free to reduce my monthly bills.

Thank you.

That's a legitimate number from Sky's outbound marketing team. They may call you back.

@Rob571 
You’re not talking to Sky Customer Services on here as this is a customer based forum where customers try to help other customers. That is a genuine Sky number. 

edit: beaten to it whilst looking for the link.

Hope you don't mind but I've moved the answer from mine to the one provided by @Mark39

Thanks Mark and Daniel, I never recognised the number but I know it was genuine now. After the call I looked it up.

Are you out of contract? If not then the call may not be genuine & the Sky number spoofed. I doubt Sky would call offering to lower your bills if you're still in contract.

Hi 

I keep receiving phone calls from 0800 0987 825 stating they are from Sky and would like to discuss my current package.

I had been reluctant to discuss it, wondering if it was a scam.

Does anyone know if this number is from Sky,

Many thanks

Ajay

@Ajan 

Inputting that number on the 'Who called me' website suggest scammers. 

[Mark39]

Not a number I'm familiar with, but it may have been the outbound marketing team who do make calls of this nature. Did you ask them how they could confirm their identity to you?

[Gurkha12]

You were right to be suspicious as I received a scam call from this number as well!

What is more they even called on Easter Monday!

[Gurkha12]

This was almost certainly a scam call so do not accept calls from this number, or accept it and give them some choice words!

The call was from an Indian who could barely speak English and what is more they called on Easter Monday!

To be fair, it's not a Bank Holiday in Bangalore...

[caesarome]

As stated above the call was from Sky if the number used ended in 3372.

[Chalk+Serpent]

Sky staff do work on weekends, Bank Holidays etc. I've also had phone calls a few times over the last year with offers (that I've turned down). These weren't scam calls, you wouldn't need to give these callers your bank details or make payments over the phone anyway as you already have accounts and packages.

@Gurkha12 just so you areaware the call that @Rob571 received was a genuine call from Sky as the op clearly stated afterwards as they checked as did a few other posters.

If you have had a call either create your own post or if you think it was a scam call report it to sky giving themthe number but the number quoted in the first post is a genuine sky number
