Sky offered to beat my gas & electric costs??

I don't know if anyone can make use of the following information (and apologies if it's a duplicate post), but I had a call from Sky (yes, sky the satellite people) at the weekend, saying that they were now able to offer me gas and electricity at a much lower rate than my present supplier. I actually said I wasn't interested, because it just seemed too bizzarre for words, but now I'm intrigued.
She told me that it was a short-term deal so I had to be quick. Then she started asking who my present supplier was - It was at this point that I said 'no', I didn't fancy giving her the opportunity to swap my supplier on the QT - as happened in the SWALEC debacle.

Sounds like a scam.

They appear to have struck some kind of deal with British Gas. So it's just British Gas' services, rebranded.

Yep, there has been another thread in the last couple of weeks where the poster asked who was the actual Supplier and they said it would be BGas.

So, I guess as a Sky customer you may be able to get a further sign up discount of some sort? Otherwise, there would be no bonus in doing this, I guess BGas have a bonus by being able to target another database of customers.
