Yes, both my wife and I have been receiving these calls on and off for a few months now. At first I reported them to Sky, but there isn't a lot they can do. The phone numbers aren't real, they are what is called spoofed. The perpetrators are most likely sitting in an office somewhere in Mumbai and a machine autodials from a list of mobile phone numbers. My favourite game is to try and keep them talking for as long as possible, without actually giving them any personal details, this may seem a pointless exercise, but it does keep them from phoning somebody else for the duration. Today's game ended in me explaining to the woman (refuse to call her a lady) that I knew she was trying to scam me, her response was beautiful: "do you have proof?" My wife is less verbose and simply tells them to "go away". Just be careful not to give them any details, not even your email address. I always tell them that if they are from Sky, they should know my email address and if they tell me what it is, I will confirm or deny. They never do.
Stay safe out there, more and more scammers are trying to get your money.
I don't work for Sky.
