Possible WhatsApp scam

[Family+Walker]

Hi. I have been contacted by what looks like a genuine Sky WhatsApp account suggesting I am eligible for a full fibre upgrade. Is this genuine?

We might also send you a WhatsApp message if you’re eligible.

WhatsApp message: “Great news, [name]. Your home is now eligible for Full Fibre…”

If it's in the UK, one possible point of confirmation is to use the BT Wholesale Availability Checker to verify which broadband provisioning types are available.

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.

Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

As is stated in the posts above yours, there's a legitimate Sky campaign currently going out on WhatsApp.

Of course it's always possible that scammers spot this and use it to their own advantage.
