Re: Account blocked due to fraud

I’m in a similiar situation.  Had a new phone arrive which had fault software. Called sky who sent me a new one. BUT, instead of replacing the faulty one the guy started a whole new contract.  The next day the new phone arrived but was blocked by fraud within 2 hours. This was over a week ago.  Spoken to loads of people who have each on seperaye days said it'll be sorted within 24 hours.  8 days later still blocked.  

please help

We won't know what you've tried already.

 

If you've submitted a complaint Sky will have up to 8 weeks to reach a suitable solution.
