I had one ring last night and say they were from Sky, and because my "breakdown cover" had

expired wanted to offer me a new contract. SO I did what I always do which is say "Not interested, but thanks for the call" and hung up while they were saying whatever bit of the script they've got is that come after the customer saying no.

However, they called back a minute later, different call agent, but when I asked who they were calling from, they hung up immediately. That then happened again straight away.

Later occurs to me that the first bod who said he was from Sky couldn't have been, 'cos if he was, he'd know that I never had "breakdown cover" on my Sky box. Never did any of the security questions they they have to do either.

So, a scam I guess. The c**ts.
