Possible scam?

I received a call from [number removed] this morning. 

 

I had been expecting a call from Sky regarding a particular issue. However, the caller started to go on about discounts. 

 

I terminated the call before giving any personal details, becoming suspicious when he appeared not to know my name or email address.

 

Just want to confirm this isn't a Sky number. 

 

Thanks

@Gnomex  Any calls offering huge discount would be a scam, I'm not aware of Sky ever using an 02 area code number.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@Gnomex 

With any calls from 'Sky' (especially unexpected calls) if the caller asks for your previously agreed telephone password to confirm you're the account holder (which I would expect a genuine Sky agent to do) initially give an INCORRECT one on purpose. If the caller doesn't challenge it then you know it'll likely be a scam call.
