Calls from Scam tactics (energy or Sky) calls by the number +441302490940 - Expert Opinion

These calls, 01302490940, were found by tellows users to exhibit typical scam tactics, often originating from India and involving impersonation of trusted companies like Sky or energy advisors. In one instance, scammers offered a 40% discount on a Sky bill, only to transfer the victim to a "supervisor" for approval, an immediate red flag. Another call featured an automated voice claiming to be a local energy advisor but struggled to answer direct questions, making it clear the interaction was scripted and intended to phish for information. Both scenarios demonstrated classic, deceptive ploys.

    Vern LK reported Sky billing scam with the number ‎+441302490940 as Harassment calls

    Seemed to be based in India, they pretended to be from Sky, offering me a 40% discount on my bill. The first red flag appeared early in the call. After agreeing to the discount, they passed me to a “supervisor” to approve the deal, which immediately seemed suspicious. This handoff was the clear giveaway that it was a scam.

    Some kind of A.I. or recorded message. Voice says it's "Mark, your local energy advisor", but is then unable to answer any direct question. When you speak the machine is selecting the next message to play you... ie "I am calling today about your loft insulation." A scam or phishing for information to be sure. Avoid.
