AI Summary

Based on 1 community report

This Cheltenham number claims to be from Sky, but reports describe callers asking about Sky broadband services to people who don't actually have Sky as their provider. When challenged, the caller hung up rather than clarifying their purpose. This is a common cold-calling tactic used by scammers or aggressive sales operations pretending to be from well-known companies to build false trust. Sky would only contact existing customers about their own accounts, and they'd have your details on file already. If you receive a call like this, hang up immediately and contact Sky directly using the number on your bill or their official website to verify any genuine service issues. Don't provide any personal information to unsolicited callers.

They claimed to be from a company SKY asking about my Broadband and whether my SKY broadband was working. I do not have SKY! I told them this and they hung up. Claimed to be from Sky
