Are you saying you didn't order them?

 

Have they arrived?

Re: Unwanted devices

I don't as on the phone to someone from sky this morning saying I've got a free item coming, which sounded odd. Logged into my account and now got two Samsung tablets on there. No not posted yet. I wanted to fine away of removing them before I get charged and sent out

No, probably a scam. Did you provide sufficient details for scammers to order these? 

You need to call Sky asap. See this link

The scammers will likely recontact you (again claiming to be Sky) saying they've made a mistake and to send it to a (non Sky) address. They then have the device and you have the bill. They may send packaging to post the item (to them) or even send a 'courier' to collect it. 

 

With any unexpected calls from 'Sky' if the caller asks for your telephone password to confirm you're the account holder (which a genuine Sky agent should in my opinion) initially give an INCORRECT one on purpose. If the caller doesn't challenge it then you know it'll be a scam call.
