Discussion topic: Scam phone call - SIM card going to be blocked

This message was authored by: chris+lane · ‎21 Nov 2024

Hi, I've had a phone call from someone claiming to be at Sky saying that they are upgrading their network and my SIM will be blocked/deactivated in the next few days. I assumed this was a scam and hung up but would like to know if others have had this and/or if this is genuine?

Thanks

Hi @chris+lane yes this is a scam and has been mentioned here recently, you did the right thing by hanging up.

Scam certainly. Sounds like it's a variation on the 'you need a new sim to use 5G due to the switch off of 3G'.
