I know this scam exists and, since a company called satellite4u started sending mum reminders to renew her cover, and calling her, I began to think it was a con. I ignored all contact, as mum was sure she had not taken out cover, as was I. This evening we got another call, and I told mum to put the phone down. Called back immediately and, when I spoke to her, she said mum had been covered since 2011, when she spoke to a guy called Andrew, and her insurer was AXA. No mention of DG. I was told she paid £5.50 monthly, and she even gave me the password on the account - on not one occasion has anyone ever gave ME my password - and it was one I recognise. I was given a reference number, and a telephone number, to cancel, which I did. I shall check mum's account for DDs, and see if the amount has been debited. She definitely did not take out a policy. I shall contact sky as, although this company does exist, it is not the recommended insurance by sky. The lady told me that sky cannot provide cover, so her company was doing it for them. Any input? I am convinced this is a scam, and am hoping nothing else will ensue.

Well done that guy, I had a similar experience when I had a prob with my downstairs box,
I only had a single feed to the upstairs box.
Asked how much to put another feed in, he not only ran new cable, double feed to the upstairs box, but I got a brand new dish to boot.
Total cost?
Zilcho, already covered he said nice man, REALLY nice man.
Well chuffed
