I Got a Call from 0800 761 3372 – Who Is It and Why Are They Calling Me?

Have you recently received a call from 0800 761 3372 in the UK and wondered whether it’s legit or just another scam? You’re not alone. I recently got a call from this number, and like most people these days, I did some digging before even considering calling back. Here’s what I found out, all in one place.

Who Owns 0800 761 3372?

This number is registered to Sky UK Ltd., a well-known telecommunications and media company in the UK. The number is used by Sky’s outbound call centre, and yes – it’s a legitimate toll-free number. That means it’s free for you to receive, and it’s typically used for sales or customer service follow-up.

Why Would Sky Call Me?

There are several reasons Sky might call you from 0800 761 3372:

1. You’re a current Sky customer: They could be calling to discuss your account, contract renewal, or to offer new deals like discounted broadband, Sky Glass, or Netflix bundles.
2. You were a Sky customer: Sky is known to run “win-back” campaigns targeting former customers with limited-time offers.
3. Cold calling: You may have expressed interest at some point or had your data sourced via marketing lists. It happens even if you’re no longer a subscriber.
4. Marketing Offers: Users have reported getting offers such as:
   • Half-price deals for 6–12 months
   • Sky TV with Netflix for as low as £19/month
   • Upgrades to new hardware or streaming services

Is It a Scam?

Here’s where things get tricky. While 0800 761 3372 is a real number used by Sky, there’s always the risk of number spoofing – a scam tactic where fraudsters make it look like a legit number is calling you.

So how can you tell the difference?

It’s Likely Legit If:

• You’re a Sky customer (or recently were)
• They know your name or account info
• They’re offering specific, relevant deals

Be Suspicious If:

• They ask for sensitive personal information upfront
• They pressure you to “act now”
• They refuse to let you hang up and call back via Sky’s website

How to Block Unwanted Calls

How to Protect Yourself

If you’re unsure, follow these tips:

• Don’t confirm personal info over the phone right away.
• Ask for a reference number or offer code.
• Call Sky back using their official number from the Sky website or your account.
• Use caller ID blocking or a spam filter app if it becomes persistent.

Who’s Actually Calling?

Most likely, it’s someone working in one of Sky’s UK-based customer contact centres – possibly in Osterley, Leeds, or Stockton. These are real people, working for Sky, offering real services – though sometimes it can feel like an aggressive sales push.

What Network and SIM?

Since the number is owned by a company (not an individual), there’s no specific SIM or mobile provider linked to this call. It’s a landline-style number (toll-free 0800) used in a corporate telecom system. In short: it’s Sky’s infrastructure, not a personal SIM.

Final Thoughts

Getting unsolicited calls can be unsettling, but not every unknown number is a scam. In the case of 0800 761 3372, the call is almost certainly from Sky UK. However, you should always practice phone safety:

• Don’t give out personal information
• Hang up and verify independently
• Block the number if it becomes annoying

If you’re a Sky customer, this might be a chance to score a good deal. If not, it’s easy enough to ignore or report. In either case, now you know exactly who’s behind that call.
