Very sneaky, they only call you Madame because they don't know your name... something your provider should know.

 

My last call I kept asking "what is my name"?  They tried Madame a few more times before he realised it was no use, he was rumbled.

Thats very common for scam callers.

 

If anyone has ever seen that "Scam Interceptors" show on BBC One or IPlayer, you will immediately pick up that they call everyone sir or madam, rather than Mr or Mrs X.

I recieved a phone call from a person claiming to be from sky sayying that sky are aaware of issues customers are having with data connections , calls and texts therefore we are offering all sky customers free of charge a brand new sim card with extra data , all we need from you is your email address and then we will send you a code if you could then tell us this code for us to continue with this order . The number they called from is 0203 number

I said that at no such time would sky ever call me and ask for my email address nor would they ever admit that they are experiencing network issues and offer a brand new sim with extra date at no extra cost lol .
