    What a convincing, well thought out, properly source referenced post. You've convinced me. :rolleyes:

    For someone apparently so versed in law as by your claims of illegality on the other thread you don't seem too capable of reading either the forum rules nor the board guidelines.

    We know it is not a scam as such but these companies try to give the impression that they are part of sky. I got six different letters from six
    different companies when my box was running out of guarantee, all implying they were part of sky. the letters are misleading to say the least. If you want to renew your guarantee then ring sky direct.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Fortunately all you have done is to confirm the exact opposite.

    Keep posting so people have more sources of information about your poor service and infantile business ethics.

    This is true! I would gladly make Digital Repair Plan my number one source for free ipods, dead Nigerian bankers and generic viagra.

    More seriously, here's the Watchdog videos from Youtube, showing just what kind of tactics these companies use to scam customers..

    Video 2

    Of particular interest is the part of the sales training for these companies where they are told by the sales trainer to scare the people they call into buying. And also the bit where another trainer says 'If she thinks I'm Sky, that's her problem.'

    Thanks for this - where do I sign up to your warranty?

    Seriously though - stop sending me your junk mail and pretending you are somehow affiliated with or recommended by Sky. And how the bl**dy hell did you get my address?

    That question was asked on the other thread (becky.o, why start another thread:confused: ) and so far she has been unforthcoming with an answer.:rolleyes:

    Unless becky.o is in fact a disgruntled customer/employee and this is an ingenious way of further damaging the reputation of the company. ;)
    So becky.o which is it? sneaky clever customer or sneaky naive foolish MD?
