Expert Opinion

Like a chameleon slipping into a familiar brand, the caller cloaks itself in the name Sky, weaving a believable script about discounts and upgrades. Most recipients report aggressive tone, foul language and relentless repeat calls, signalling a dangerous scam. Avoid sharing personal or financial details until you independently confirm the offer with the genuine provider. Use your handset’s built‑in block feature or a reputable call‑filtering app, and register the number with the national do‑not‑call registry. If the call persists, log the details and report it to Action Fraud. Staying sceptical and keeping records are your best defences.
