I gave him a rough figure of Β£65 and he said he could reduce it to Β£47. Asked for my email, I said I was reluctant to give out any details. He said he's not asking for any banking details etc, but my concern would be links inside the emails / phishing. I said just send it to the email they have on file - he kept saying he couldn't do this as I needed to confirm it first. I said I'd ring in to arrange it - then he's saying well do you have the number for the promotional team as we all have different numbers - said I'd google it or just ring Sky and ask them to transfer me to the promo dept, challenged him surely they're able to transfer to you internally right?
