Sky scam!

thesoupdragon

WARNING!!! Just got a letter from Sky informing me that I am in credit and could I ring a number to confirm details so they can process the refund. It has my account no, name and address and looks genuine, even in a Sky envelope. I was suspicious as to why I would be in credit and why they needed me to contact them to refund me when they take money ( too much ) from my account every month. I contacted Sky independently and they confirmed they had no record of the letter and the number given did not seem like a sky number. I have to forward the letter to them for investigation. Anyone who has responded to one of these letters, then I suggest you check your bank balance asap and contact Sky. Please share and spread the word.

A Sky have denied any connection, I would also give a copy of the letter to the police.


Details of your finances with Sky would be on your My Sky page, anyway.

If you have had Sky previously (possibly at another address) then it might not be a scam. Sky have £million's in other peoples money in their bank accounts which they cannot return because people have (stupidly) cancelled their direct debits. Anyone who has had Sky in the last 7 years could be in this situation.
