Deactivating SIM scan

Hello, I’ve been receiving multiple calls a day from this number: [Removed] , and I answered one and they said that my sky SIM will be de activated in the next 2 days and are asking questions about my sky account, can you help me figure out if this real and why if it is, or if it’s a scam.

It's a scam.  Did you give them any personal information?

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

Absolutely a scam.  They are trying to convince you to reveal security details about your Sky Mobile account so that they can place orders for expensive hardware in your name (typically iPhones) to be delivered to your address, which they then instruct you to return to a (bogus) 'Sky' address to 'rectify the mistake'.
