New Sky alert as emails sent out to customers about 'security' and steps to take

Sky has begun sending security alerts via email to its UK customers, warning them about potential scams and providing guidance on how to identify and respond to fraudulent activity. The emails emphasize that Sky will never request sensitive information such as passwords, payment card details, or ask customers to place orders over the phone. Customers are advised to verify suspicious communications through official channels like the My Sky app or sky.com and to avoid engaging with unexpected requests for personal data. Sky also reminds customers to use its official returns process if they need to return equipment and directs them to sky.com/returns and sky.com/scamsafe for further assistance. Victims of scams are encouraged to contact their banks and report incidents to Action Fraud.
