A call came from this number with a foreign‑accented woman who first said she worked for Sky Assured Maintenance, then later disclaimed any link to Sky. She mentioned a subscription renewal, but it turned out to be a maintenance contract covering my TV, cables, remote and other electrical gear. I've blocked the number now.
Fake Sky Insurance Scam Exposed!
Summary — +441179903275
Expert Opinion
Block this number immediately to halt persistent unwanted calls. These appear to be fraudulent attempts impersonating a non-existent Sky service, pushing bogus maintenance or insurance for electrical gear. Hang up without engaging—scammers often use foreign accents or odd locations like Canada to confuse. Report to Action Fraud for investigation, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut telemarketing noise. If details like personal info were shared, monitor accounts closely for suspicious activity. Stay vigilant; genuine firms never pressure for instant payments over unsolicited calls.
