Expertomdöme

Late last night, a call from +448004790758 may have introduced itself as Sky insurance, trying to sell you a Sky Protect policy. The script typically mentions a supposed anniversary, asks for account numbers, sort codes, or security answers, and pushes a quick sign‑up. Never share personal info or payment details with unsolicited callers, especially when they claim urgency. Hang up, add the number to your phone’s block list, and consider a call‑blocking app. Verify any offers directly with Sky’s official customer service before acting. If the calls persist, file a complaint with the communications regulator and your phone provider to help curb the telemarketing source. Finally, keep a record of the caller ID and timestamps for any future report.

448004790758 Okänd Scam

I’m pretty sure it isn’t A**** answering – I saw it on this forum, so it’s probably a scam.

A refined‑tasting voice introduced himself as Henry from Sky, but I hung up quickly, sensing a scam.

448004790758 Bedrägeri

When nobody responded, I ended the call; it appears to be a scam.

448004790758 Trakasserisamtal

A call came at five in the morning.

448004790758 Trakasserisamtal

The number is abhorrent; I intend to report the vile abuse.

448004790758 Okänd

The moment I picked up, the line was cut. The caller keeps ringing me repeatedly.

Silence – no message recorded.

448004790758 Reklam

They are attempting to market Sky Protect.

448004790758 Okänd

A brief ring rang out then dropped before I could answer. It happened a few times, so I blocked the number.

448004790758 Trakasserisamtal Scam

Clearly a scam. 1. They hang up as soon as you answer. 2. The +44 prefix shows the call is originating from outside the UK. Such call centres ought to be banned.

448004790758 Bedrägeri Domestic and general

Someone rang today asking for my name, address, postcode and then immediately for a password – I instantly thought it was a scam, as Sky would never request a password. They tried to push Domestic and General insurance with four months free, which I declined.

The line rang six times before it finally cut off.

448004790758 Bedrägeri D&G (scam)

The claim that Sky equipment is rented, so it must be returned upon cancellation, is accurate. If the gear fails, Sky is contractually obliged to replace it, eliminating any need for insurance.

I got no voicemail; the call dropped when I attempted to pick up.

448004790758 Trakasserisamtal Billy

A man introduced himself as "Billy", saying he was calling on behalf of Sky to discuss benefits I’m eligible for as a Sky customer. He stuck to a script; when I pressed, he kept referring back to it. He mentioned D&G and called it a partnership, but refused to name his employer. After demanding personal details, I asked why Sky wasn’t contacting me; he said delegating to them gave Sky "more time" and repeated the D&G partnership line. I suggested Sky email me and hung up.

448004790758 Säker D&G insurance

Like others have noted, D&G insurance contacts you on Sky's behalf—not Sky directly—though they may open with “on behalf of Sky,” which can be misleading. They pitch insurance for Sky equipment and other devices; not a scam, but if you don't need such coverage, you can ignore it.

My first suspicion turned out to be incorrect; now I believe this is legitimate.

448004790758 Bedrägeri (scam)

Seems like an AI scam; the call followed a fixed script regardless of my replies. I hung up and blocked the number.

This number has been calling me regularly since April, but I've had it blocked, so I only see the calls when I check my call logs, and I've never actually answered it
