Received A Call This Morning

From 01287963771 telling me that my internet will be cut off tomorrow due to illegal activity and then asking me to press 1. I did not press 1 but shut the call down. My broadband is with Sky.

I've tried looking the number up but can't find anything.

Has anyone else had anything like this? I don't know how to find out what this number is and if genuine. Can't get through to Sky due to inevitable staff shortages.

You did the right thing tiggs. So many scams around it's best just to hang up.

Yep. Just this minute had another call from a Bradford area code and no one talking.

The other was was North Yorkshire.

I signed up to TPS but some numbers still get through.

As far as I'm aware every phone call threatening to cut something off ( ooh, matron) is a scam, you did right. I don't understand the one I get quite frequently these days where a man counts down from ten to zero and then rings off.

Had the same call a few weeks back. I did exactly the same as you, promptly hung up. I'm with Vodafone and my internet still works fine and dandy, ta very much. :-)

These calls came through to my landline which I very very rarely give out.
