Company is a scam. Took £65 from my mothers account by telling her they were from Sky Protect. Company refuses to provide refunds.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM THEY ARE A SCAM

HAVE REPORTED TO POLICE TRADING STANDARDS AND CAB

Hello,

My name is David. I am really sorry if you have requested a refund and not been provided with one. At Sat Assist we make every effort to provide a satisfactory service to our customers. Since the day I started at this company, I have been told about the importance of being attentive and providing a service customers are happy with. For this reason it is unusual that I see a comment like this. If you call us and ask for me, I will attend to your refund request.

Regards,

David

How strange that 1hr 10mins after someone complains about not getting a refund you appear.  Do you monitor this site?  If so why would you monitor a site full of complaints about unknown, unwanted and scam calls?

I have been called in the past 6 years several times by this company.They do not have my details,only the telephone number,and do not desist when told to.I have never had SKY,and as an oap,can't afford it.Hope something gets done about these people.They should try WORKING,as I had to.

Called by these con artists. My father who has DEMENTIA was conned out of £65 - they told him they were from Sky (they are not) have tried to contact them and ask for a refund - they hung up on me!

Am contacting Trading Standards and the police. Trading standards say that I am not the first and they are closing them down!!!

They need to be registered with the FSA to sell insurance which they are not! Your policies are not worth the paper they are written on!

I suggest you contact their director:

Forgot to mention, somehow they already had my fathers bank details! Have now emailed the bank and cancelled all Direct debits. My father is so confused about this. HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT?

I shall be visiting Mr Ahmed. I am not a nice person when someone steals from my family!

Just got off the phone with these clowns. We're asking me for my bank details, I don't even have sky! Man on the phone was quite insistent that I did! No bank details for them even though they kept asking. Tried calling the number on my caller display and it just rings and rings. Stay well clear.

www.safefromscams.co.uk/SkyTvScam.html

Many of us use Sky to get television. It offers a much greater choice than terrestrial TV or Freeview and there’s often a much better picture, especially for those in areas where aerials don’t work well. However, if you’re a Sky subscriber, you should be aware of a scam that’s going around which could well end up stealing your identity. So far it’s only been recorded with Sky customers, but it could happen with any subscription service, like Virgin Media.

How It Works
It’s a clever, two-part scams. It begins innocently enough with you receiving a pre-recorded call asking if you’re a Sky subscriber. If you respond that you are, then the second part kicks in a week later – by which time you’ve probably forgotten all about the first call.

This time it’s a live person on the other end of the line. He’ll claim to be from the Sky billing department and claim that your subscription for the month hasn’t been paid, and that unless you give your credit card details to be processed, your service will be suspended.

It can sound very plausible, and it’s easy to fall for it – a number of people have done. But once you’ve passed those details over, they’re not in the hands of Sky, but with the scammers who’ve tricked you.

How to Spot the Scam
The first giveaway is that someone would even call about a billing matter. According to Sky, anything like that would be handled in writing, and the same would be true for any subscription service of any kind.
The second red flag should be raised by the fact that your subscription hasn’t been paid. The vast majority of people will pay their Sky bill (and many others) by Direct Debit, which is all automated. Think about the way you pay yours.

Can the person who calls quote your account number? If he can’t give your name and account number, it’s a certain indication that this is a fake call, however clever and slick the script might be.

How to Avoid the Scam
The first rule of thumb is to be very sceptical and distrusting when it comes to phone calls involving personal details and financial matters. Legitimate businesses simply don’t call and ask for this kind of information – they’ll already have it on file.If you receive a call like this, ask for a number where you can call them back. The chances are they won’t give you one, but if they do (and, it has to be said, if they give a real number, that’s very stupid), compare it against the number you have for Sky (you can also find the number online).

The simplest thing, perhaps, is simply to ask them to put the request in writing and send it to you – which is the proper procedure, of course. You won’t hear from them again.

What To Do If You Think You’ve Been Scammed
Inform the card company, your bank and the credit reporting agencies immediately. Request a copy of your credit file, and ask the agencies to flag it, in case anyone tries to open a new account.
The best advice is simply to keep your wits about you. It’s easy to be carried away by a phone call – they can seem official – and never give out information over the phone in a call you haven’t initiated, and where you can be sure who you’re speaking with.

Reader Caught Out...
Some of our readers have sent in their own experiences with a slight twist on the above scam:
The phone call I received from 'Sky' was to inform me, I am the account holder, that I am paying a little too much for our current package and offering to reduce it by £2.01 per month. The caller confirmed my name and address in order to confirm changes in writing and gave a 'new tech support number' of 08712 344644, then asked which bank I was with. He then 'quoted' the first 4 digits of my card and asked me for the remaining digits. I realised just in time that this was a likely scam call and refused to give details. I then contacted sky on their proper number who confirmed they would not do this, and I was not the 1st person to report this.

Another Version
I too received a phone call from someone claiminng to be from sky maintenance department, he too knew our name address and phone number, he wanted to know which system we were using and asked if we were having any problems with the picture etc. He said because we had not called out any engineer we were entitled to 10% off next year's premium, and if I would verify account details that payment is made from.

I told him that I didn't give those details over the phone and he stated that the details were deleted after I verified the account, I then told him my husband dealt with the sky account and he was working, although he was at home, and that he wouldn't be home until 8, he said he would phone back later. I then phoned sky to verify the call and they said they had received a few calls like mine. The number is 08719011500 they also gave me a word to use if I was reporting a fault so that no-one could use my account for maintenance.

Another Variation..
Another twist on the billng enquiry. I was called to be told that I had been paying too much repair cover and was being refunded £60 . I informed the person calling that I don't pay any cover and then he tried getting me to tell him the long number on the credit card. I refused but many might not.

Same trick played on my elderly dad as I am seeing all over internet. Lady saying  ringing on behalf of sky and reducing monthly direct debit but needs card details . Unfortunately he gave them. Then gets a letter saying he has taken out an insurance policy for his sky equipment £120 taken out of his account. Have had email saying money will be returned to account but as sky know nothing about this company I wont hold my breath .
