been told i am not interested in sky box insurance but continue call

Constantly received call from this number.  Have asked them to stop, but they ignore my request.

Just had a missed call on my mobile from this number, Dialled it back from work and recorded message saying "Thanks for calling this number is no longer in use, you can get more information including alternative contacts from Asda.com" the call then cuts off.

It's "Domestic and General" making out they're "calling on behalf of Sky TV". They try and sell you a warranty for your Sky plus box that you probably don't need. They also woke my sleeping baby up when they rang. Nuisances.

Sky. Selling insurance for your Sky box AND TV

My work and personal phones are iPhones and you can permanently block the number from the recent calls screen.  Just press the blue "i" in the little circle on the right of the number, then down the bottom of the next screen press Block Contact.  Sorted.

At home I have a BT8500 phone, and because I've set it up to only allow calls from my contacts in the phone, I get absolutely no nuisance calls at all :)

Seems to be an insurance scam, trying to sell insurance on your Sky box - they claim to be calling on behalf of Sky, but Sky told me it's nothing to do with them and that I shouldn't take insurance on the box as it's still under warranty anyway.

Maybe "roaring" at her was the reason for her aggression.  As someone who works in a call centre, numbers are dialled automatically and it's our job to speak to the account holder.  If that person is not there then we are not allowed to speak to anyone else due to data protection laws.  May be worth remembering that this is our job, and like any job, if we don't follow rules then we could get into trouble.

Could you take just a moment of time to explain why it is important for you to follow "rules" such as the Data Protection ones which you reckon stop you providing your own identity , but OK to ignore TPS ones and common sense ones which suggest that if you hide who you are you then forfeit your right to ask me any questions?

Getting fed up with these types of calls. I never answer calls I dont have in my contacts list. LEAVE ME ALONE.

claims to be sky but i doubt it!

Just called my mobile, but I didn't answer as I do with all unrecognised nos.  Blocked number now

It is nothing to do with Sky even though they say it is, it's to get you to buy it. Once you have it costs you to have call outs and Sky won't touch it so beware!

Called me today and it was silent for 20 minutes so hung up and looked on here. It isn't Sky it's just Domestic & General claiming they're ringing on behalf of them. My pensioner dad was caught out with them when he was with Sky and when it came to having a repair done Sky wouldn't touch it. D&G we're going to charge an arm and a leg! Sky equipment is yours so this is why they try to get you to insure it... DON'T!!! Sky won't charge for call outs if it's a fault caused by their faulty equipment anyway!

Funny that "sky domestic and general" want you to purchase insurance on your sky products, when the sky website states that the ONLY sky endorsed cover is "sky protect".
Seems like a massive scam to me. It's not a recognised sky number either.

got call from the number on my mobile. When answered the women asked for me and then said she was from Sky and did I know my dish warrenty had run out. I said sky don't sell insurance and she had to agree that they were an insurance company working for sky. I then said I'm not paying anything as I already path a lot. She rang off.

Just don't answer unknown numbers.  Have had four calls from different numbers in the last 10 mins alone

my answer phone is set to field calls like this. No message left, just silence then hang up.

This number has Rung  me daily, leaving no message in my answer phone.  I have now renamed this number as spam along with all the others that I can't block because my list is full, and will never pick it up.  Why can't something more be done to stop this nuisance.

You, and everyone else receiving calls from UK based companies, can do something about it.  Firstly, register with TPS.  They are useless, but it is only a first step.  Secondly, if you receive a call from a UK based company where there is s person on the other end and you get their name and address, report them to TPS. Again, that is useless, but only the second step.  Then, it they call again, report them to the informstion Commissioner's Office.  They have the legal powers and can fine such companies up to £500,000. A recent "Which" survey found that only 2% of people who complained about nuisance calls actually reported them.  Just think how we could get rid of them if we all reported these pests.  The only way to stop ALL nuisance calls (Intenational, Automated, Withheld, Unavailable number) is to buy a call blocking unit or a call blocking 'phone.  Check our Amazon or Argos but do not be fooled by the cold callers offering to stop calls.  They are a scam.
