Is this a scam or sky?

Hi, 

 

I just got a call from a mobile number and I felt it was not legitimate 

[removed]

they knew my first name and postcode.

 

he wanted to know if my data was being used to quick and I said nope it's fine and then said don't have any family members wanting to join I said no then said okay have a good day bye

 

bit weird it's a voxbone sa registered number as I searched it

 

should I be worried I dident hand out any passwords or anything like that

If you didn't divulge and personal or account information you shoukd be okay.

 

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 will be a scam call.
