Just had this number call, had to look twice whether I had read it correct. Rang for about two seconds then cut off. Strange haven't a clue who this could be.
This number called me and said they were from Sky. Seemed a bit odd as it was an overseas call center, normally Sky seem to call from Scotland. They said they were calling about my "new" HD Box and Sky Card and that it was a "courtesy call". The next question was about my payment methods to Sky. When I asked them why they needed this information as, if it is Sky calling, they have it on file, the guy said sorry and put the phone down!
thought i would google this number as it came up as missed call on my mobile. there i found your comments, so thanks. i will report this to MARTIN's money tips as they like to know about 'scams'
I just had them call me, regarding my recent loand application.....
Let them do their whole spiel before telling them I'd not applied for a loan, went something along the lines of:
"Hello how are you today, i'm calling about your recent loan enquiry. We are now in a position to offer you a much better deal on the amount you requested. Please be aware we are not a broker but an actual lender and the money will be in your account in 72 working hours. All I need from you is your account details and then a card number to make a pre-authorisation to check the account is valid. Also we do not do any credit checks, how much did you want to borrow."
I said "If i've applied for a loan surely you can tell me how much I originally asked for" to which she said "But we are now in a postion to offer you a much better deal. How much would you like?".
When I then said "I've not applied for a loan with anyone, and i'm definitely not going to give you my credit card details" they hung up immediately. (Probably to ring the next person on their list)
