Iyveas a scam so what details did you give them as whatever it was they will need changing so they can't access your account ?

Almost certainly.

 

Sounds like you've assisted the scammers in taking your account over: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/account-takeover

 

If you do receive shiny new phones ordered under your account ensure you only return them to the address confirmed with Sky.

 

The scam involves the scammers collecting the phones from you (even sending trusted couriers to collect them such as the RoyalMail!).  They have the phone and you're paying for it...

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

It sounds like you have it in hand but when you have a few minutes I would read the link posted above by @PandJ2020 @especially what to do should a mobile/tablet be delivered to you that you did not order.
