So glad to hear you got your money back Ann.

Last time the company called us, my husband had to ask 3 times "Are you Sky TV" before they finally said "No".
He told them where to go!

After calling dozens of times, that PPI lot have only just stopped ringing the house asking for my daughter.
Their records show that she took out insurance in 1998, but don't know what it was for.
We were not surprised they didn't know...

She was born at the end 1990 !!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi Ann,
I had a call about industrial deafness and informed the chap I did not suffer from deafness. After interrupting him a few times telling him I wasn't interested, I asked him if he was deaf and he said "no" so I said " good, well P@@@ off."

GP

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I had the accident one yesterday I asked if they would like my card number now or later

they rang off :-D

I don't get these sort of calls....not that I have set anything up not to receive them.

Up until a short while ago we used to get recorded message calls about PPI, Accidents or cheap phone calls....which was annoying when you had struggled to get to the phone, there was no one there to say **** off to :-D

The one time I did get a call about insurance for Sky...it was to my mobile....I find that strange as they should have my home number as I needed a land line to have sky

AnnCardiff, good for you :-D :-D :-D

I've had a few of those sort of calls and the tone of my language leaves them in no doubt as to how I view their scams ;-)

had a call yesterday - Asian voice yet again - I put the phone down - he rang back - "What do you want" I asked - he wittered on about an accident I'd had in the past three years - really - my language left him in no doubt that he was likely to be a victim of an accident

You'll have a chuckle at this

According to a phone call, our Sky equipment insurance is about to end.

a) We don't have any insurance on it
b) Apparently they were referring to the manufacturers warranty
c) It was installed in Feb 2013, so by my calculation, any manufacturers warranty ran out in Feb.
d) They got our address wrong.
e) When told not to phone again, apparently I'm "vile, aren't you?"

No, I wasn't rude. "Don't call this number again" is a direct quote. :-D :-D

Good for you...
Don't let anyone get away with this sort of fraud.
Try to relax now. <3 <3

Well done Ann <3

thanks - you've all been really kind <3

Really pleased to hear things are working out in this matter for you Ann.

It's not sympathy so much as justice... and it looks like you're getting it now. :-)

Do be careful with the EDS company in Southampton, they could just as easily be a genuine company and the fraudulent one using same name, so that when you look them up a genuine company who does install and insure Sky comes up.

I think I saw this on Watchdog a couple of years ago.

So pleased you got your money back. Please don't let it get you down it is easily done and now the rest of us will be alert. <3

well done Ann :-D :-D

Well done, AnnC :-D <3

What a tremendous fighter. The Whitchurch Whacker :-D ;-)

Grreat News Ann!! :-D :-D <3 <3 <3

thanks everyone - I am very relieved

Sky are aware of it

Ann
I'm really relieved that you have got your money back. Don't worry now.
Take care
