A fraudulent offer for television equipment insurance.
The call turned out to be a fraud; a woman with an East‑Asian accent claimed my Sky service was about to end, which is nonsense as I never subscribed to Sky.
Even though the number is TSP‑registered, I still receive scam calls that never leave a voicemail. Stay wary of these fraudsters.
A man calling himself Sam claimed to work for a TV maintenance firm linked to BT, Virgin and Sky, asking about TV or broadband problems. When I said I'd contact my provider, he stammered and, after insisting he represented those companies, guessed my landline provider incorrectly and then slammed the phone.
A tele‑vision insurance pitch that appeared to be a scam.
The line kept ringing nonstop, so I muted it; I don't recognise the caller and will just keep it silenced.
An empty automated call disconnected as soon as I answered, likely a test to see if the line is active for future selling.
I didn’t recognise the number, so I ignored it and no voicemail was left. It’s now blocked.
A recorded call appeared on my landline but no voicemail followed.
