Sky called about upgrading to full fibre
The number is from Sky. I got a text about a free upgrade to fibre and replied. They gave me an appointment for today. I called Sky because they missed the time, and they told me no booking was made. They said it wasn't one of their numbers, but when I booked the upgrade with Sky, the text to confirm it came through on this number.
Texts saying they're Sky, offering full fibre installation. Phoned Sky services; they don't know about these texts.
Claiming to be from Sky. Sky don’t send messages from mobiles. Checked with Sky and it’s not one of theirs. Supposedly about a free full fibre upgrade. The email address they provided is also fake. Check with Sky directly before doing anything.
A text saying it was from Sky offering a free broadband upgrade. Have to hit confirm or change for the installation date.
Text from "sky" offering a broadband upgrade, reply to confirm or change the date offered.
