Doesnt work, im on it and still get these nuisance calls!

I have missed calls from them every day for the past 2 weeks and it's driving me insane, I rang them back and got told to ring another number to be removed from there marketing list which I have done. If anyone is interested in this number it is 0800 083 2301 it says they will take you off there list within 30 days, lets hope they are right!!!

So that number you have listed Amelia have removed you from their list? Who were they?

i'm getting calls till 11pm ( i thought canvessers could not ring after 9pm ) my hubby works shifts so were not here 24/7 some times their is upto 8 missed calls from them. if i answer i always say battersea dogs home then it goes dead mmmmmm

they have called me on an unlisted mobile number, the caller was most insistant that I should tell him my full name etc, which I did not do. After calling Sky I was advised to call 0800 0832301 and have my details removed from the calling list, they  (Sky) have assured me that this will stop all calls from this number... I'm not holding my breath though!

Just had a call on my ex-drectory landline.. Another number to add to my blocked callers!

Do not answer any caller you are unaware of. If somebody knows you they will already know your details. NEVER confirm personal details such as bank, national insurance, address or date of birth by any caller over the phone or internet. This is how overseas fraudsters operate and more often than not, you will find debts have been run up in your name using your i.d. They even access the Electoral role to cross-reference your information. If somebody wants to contact you, let them do so in writing. Nothing is that urgent. Contact TPS, who can monitor and prevent unwanted calls to you phone - especially if your number is ex-directory.

Just got a call from this no - I am ex dir - and a sky customer - looks like sky could be the culprit

Just got a call from this number, They said there calling on behalf of sky. I said why can't sky call me if they want me. To which they said. Well there not we are.
So I say. Well what do you want. At this point Im pissed off because there rude and they don't say anything apart from whats you address and your bank details.
As if stupid.
1 Never tell anyone your address or details where you live
2 Never ever ever ever give your bank details out to anyone over the phone.
3 Never speak to anyone on the phone who are contacting you on someone else's behalf.
Im going to contact sky and complain, And if I dont like what i here from them Im contacting Offcom.

This is  telephone sales number from SKY. They persist in telephoning  to the level of harassment.
If you receive calls from this number and you are a SKY customer please consider renewing with another provider.

The first time this number called me I answered, and they offered me some Sky Protect service, which I declined politely, as my Sky 12-month contract ends in June and I will be cancelling anyway (which I explained to them).

The first page of this thread has a post from someone who works for this telesales company and she/he said that they would stop calling if you answered and declined - that person was either misinformed or lying, because I've had about 5 more calls from this number SINCE verbally declining their services.

This company needs to get their act together, if they want to be seen as anything but a nuisance.

Getting calls from this number but when I pick up no body answers. This should be made illegal.

This number is indeed a torture. they bloody call you at all odd times as well. even over the weekends. having read all other people's anxiety about the calls my anger has subsided. It is indeed a nuisance though.  Uh there are so many nuisances these days...which one do you really deal with??? lol....

i have answered the phone and spoke to 2 people both of whom have told me they "work for sky" i have a recording of the 2nd conversation, i listened to them try to sell me sky cover, when i refused it they were rude on both times, even after speaking to people twice and refusing twice i still get at least 3 missed calls a day from them i refuse to answer because i will be rude, it's an ignorant company that continues to try to sell something you have been told twice i don't want

If you dial 0800 083 2301 you can register to have your number removed.  
It is SKY right enough.

SOME OF US CARRY MOBILES WHICH NEED TO BE ON AT WORK!

It maybe is in the contract that Sky can pass these details on to 3rd parties, however it is never made clear about any opt outs and even if there was I suspect updating my preferences would not stop these calls as I'm now on your database, correct me if I'm wrong. Do you have an opt-out.

Fair enough sales people calling trying to sell once or twice, but daily for months is just harassment. I know companies like this abide by laws but surely if someone won't answer these calls it's for a reason so why waste time and money trying and trying again. I see this bad business sense.

3 - 4 calls a day from this number!! 08001218150
ignoring all calls hoping they may give up, they never leave a message so it cant be that important!!
they can persist I will never answer.
:-)

Hi Harley,

In response to your comment about if we don't pick up the receiver we will get repeat calls, this isn't true as I and my family have answered the calls most of the time, spoken to soomeone and we still get them despite the sales person assuring us that we would be taken off of their calling list!!!

ps: we are always polite to whoever is calling and advise them that we do not want the warrantly.

Hi all,

I had a phonecall from this company today. I was extremely sceptical of giving out any details, and quite annoyed at home they didn't ask me if I wanted the service and acted like I already had it.

I had to explicitly ask what the costs were as initially it sounded free.

I then contacted Sky and then Sky Protect who are the official company. Sky Protect advised me that someone had accessed my details, but they couldn't tell how etc - how is it possible that they have this information is Sky haven't given it to them? (or even sold it to them...)

This company have said that they will be calling me again next week - I know exactly what to tell them to do with the cover...

An Indian man at the end of the line said hello twice and hung up. Number was 08001218150
