I am a Neighborhood Watch Co-ordinator and today I received the latest news sheets from West Midlands Police.

Amongst other items I came across this one regarding a Sky TV [problem], which everyone should be aware of.

 

 

SKY TV [problem].

 

A clever two-part [problem] has been reported by Sky TV customers; however this could happen with any subscription service.

 

The [problem] begins with a pre-recorded call asking if you are a Sky subscriber; if you state that you are, the second part will take place a week later.

The second call is from a live person claiming to be from the Sky billing department and they will claim that your Sky subscription for the month has not been paid. They will then state that unless you provide your credit card details your service will be suspended.

 

According to Sky, a matter such as this would be communicated in writing and this would apply to any kind of subscription service. You are advised, if you receive a telephone call of this nature, to ask the caller to put any request in writing.

 

If you think you have been scammed, inform your credit card company, your bank and the credit reporting agencies immediately. You should also request a copy of your credit file.

 

Don't let the [problematic] get one over on you.... Be alert.
