Scam?

had a text message from "Sky Agent" telling me that it is a reminder that they are coming to install Sky tommorow and if there are any problems to ring 0871 444449. Havent arranged to install sky and dont want it, I have googled the number but not getting anything. Is it a scam, dont really want to ring at 10p/min.

Thanks

    Could be a mix up on the numbers.

    Text them back to say you don't have a sky order. With some networks, like Orange, you can text for free on the web.
