SCAM CALL ADVISING 4G SIM CARDS WILL NOT WORK SOON

[Tella1]

Received a call yesterday stating that my SKY 4g sim card will no longer work in a couple of weeks as they are upgrading to 5g, and that i needed to give them my details so they can send out a new sim. When i questioned the guy he got all defensive, so i advised him he was trying to scam me and put phone down, if you arent expecting a call then its cold calling and more than likely a scam to take some og your hard earnt cash !!

Thanks for the heads-up @Tella1 . 
Tbh they'd probably get more takers if they said 3g was being turned off as this is correct.

It looks like these are the latest scams to be doing the rounds as somebody else posted on here about this yesterday so it is always advisable to just put the phone down should you receive anymore.

Just wanted to let you know I had the same call today from a rude guy with an Asian accent. He said my SKY 4G SIM card would stop working in a couple of days because they’re upgrading to 5G, and that I needed to give him my details so they could send a new SIM. When I questioned him, he got defensive, so I told him he was trying to scam me and hung up.

They also sent me an email that went straight to my spam folder. When I looked at it carefully, it seemed fraudulent as well.

If you’re not expecting a call like that, it’s cold calling and more than likely a scam to take some of your hard-earned cash!

Sounds like the scammers are changing their tactics. Perhaps people aren't falling for the 40% off your contract one.

Im being bombarded with these scam calls 40 % and SIM card they stick you out they are from Sky I keep reporting the numbers to 7726 but the next day I get another number same scams it's driving me nuts especially as I work nights and I'm usually woken up during the day I have to answer the calls because I've just lost my brother and I've been dealing with his affairs so I don't want to miss an important call ! How have these people got my phone number someone must be selling on my details . These scammers get no where with me as I'm wise to them but some poor innocent victim must be falling for it surely in this day and age and a big company like Sky there must be something they can do it's so annoying especially with my current circumstances!!!!!!!!
