Scam caller?

I've just received a call from "sky" about my broadband. They said that it is copper and needs to be changed to fibre. The number they called me on was 0800.......3372. Was this a scammer or actually Sky?

Of course any number can be spoofed. That link does suggest contacting Sky if you have any concerns.

Also, 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.
