Hey guys, 

I have been getting a lot of calls from "sky" telling me that I am eligable for a 30% off discount for my sky bill, Im very good with scammers and can tell pretty much straight away and i normally google the numbers and they come up with either a scam or if its legit but these numbers do not come up with anything. can someone tell me whether they are legit or a scam?

thank you

Hi @Strawberrycow  definitely a scam. Many reports here lately. They offer to get you discounts, a free watch and you order phones. They then don't deliver the watch and say you need to send the phones back but they go to them not sky.

@63johnw Thank you, yeah ive been having at least 1 call a day from these numbers and its so irritating. im very clued up but these were a little harder to detect. they keep saying im elegable for 30% off my bill and then asking for my email but of course i dont give it to them.

A bonafide Sky employee 'should' ask for your telephone password. You could always give an incorrect one on purpose. If the caller accepts your answer it's obviously a scam call.

100% scam. They'll no doubt want account details & if given will access your account to order expensive devices, they may also change the password to lock you out. They'll then call back when the devices are delivered asking you to send them due to an error to an address they supply. Then the customer is liable for the full cost. The scammers then sell on the devices.
