01163930297 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01163930297 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls about boiler cover or insurance, often from callers with strong Asian accents claiming to offer discounted direct debit renewals or checks on existing policies. Callers possess personal details including existing boiler cover information, raising concerns about data misuse. They are evasive or hang up when questioned, sometimes pressing for bank details or attempting to transfer to supervisors. Many report automated messages or hang-ups without answering. The calls originate from suspicious or unrelated businesses and cause distress, especially to vulnerable individuals. Blocking numbers alone is ineffective due to spoofing and high call volumes. It is strongly advised not to engage, never share personal or financial data, and report all such scam attempts to official police and fraud agencies to aid investigations.

The person on the other end had quite a pronounced Asian accent. He said he was ringing to inquire about the state of my boiler and whether I’d be interested in renewing my direct debit - with a special offer thrown in for good measure. I've decided to block the number immediately!

Got a call from someone claiming it was a government-supported deal where they'd review all my bills and help me save by finding better rates. They promised a personal advisor and said it’d cost £4 a month if I signed up. When they tried to put me through to a manager, I just ended the call.

Got a really fishy call about some boiler insurance, but when I asked who they were, they couldn't tell me the name of their company. Proper dodgy.

Below you'll find instructions on how to use the police system designed to make it simple for everyone to report scam calls, texts, emails, and other fraudulent attempts. I only found out about this after raising the issue of endless scam calls with my MP. Scam artists definitely prefer to keep this info quiet. If you don’t bother reporting, don’t think anything will change to halt these scams. While reporting to 7726, your phone carrier, or the company scammers pretend to be can help somewhat, these reports usually don't get forwarded to the police for any criminal probes.

Got a voicemail from 01163930297 on my landline saying something like 'Blah! Blah!...about your Home Appliance Cover...will call back tomorrow.' Problem is, I'm already insured for the important stuff or I wouldn’t bother with it since it’s not worth the cost. So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number!

The phone never actually rang through since I didn’t know the number. Seeing what others have said, I reckon it’s another one of those dodgy calls trying to sell boiler insurance. I already have cover for my boiler, so no interest here. Blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from 01163930297 today, some bloke asking for Mrs Church. Heard loads of background noise like an office, seemed dodgy to me. Definately a scam call, so watch out!

Got a call from this number earlier, they were saying I had to renew my DD with some kind of boiler discount. They kept pushing me to give my info right away, so I just ended the call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Mason Drinkwater from British Gas. He wanted my bank sort code and account number, saying they were lowering my premium and needed to arrange a new direct debit. When I said it seemed fishy to be asked for such info out of the blue, he spent ages insisting they needed card details to prove it wasn’t a scam. I rang British Gas directly and they had no idea about any changes to my payments. Seemed dodgy to me.

Got a call from a guy speaking with a strange accent on 6th Jan 2023. He kept banging on about some kind of boiler insurance for central heating, saying I needed it. Claimed he found out I have central heating from some kind of database. Feels like a dodgy scam to me and honestly quite annoying too.

Got a recorded message saying no one was free to talk, something about insurance for appliances, said they’d call me again.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent pretending to be from my boiler insurance. I told him it's already sorted by the company that fitted it. Asked him how he even got my details but he couldn’t give a proper answer. Honestly, why do these lot keep messing about and wasting our time?

There should be a way to track down these callers and make them face consequences, especially since they’re exploiting elderly folks.

They're touting boiler insurance, but it's a complete con, if you ask me.

In relation to insurance for boilers... utterly bogus!

I received a rather dodgy call urging me to switch my boiler cover to some made-up company called 'Heating Services'. What’s alarming is they knew every detail about my current cover with Corgi! The number they used actually belongs to a halal supermarket in Leicester. Sounds to me like they’ve got scamming down as a bit of a side hustle!

I received a call today about my heating insurance, and I must say, it's rather alarming how they seemed to know all the specifics of my coverage, including my full name and address. The woman on the phone even mentioned a discount due to the fact that I haven’t lodged a claim in over eight months! However, the moment I asked her to clarify the exact title of my contract, she abruptly ended the conversation. I plan to reach out to my existing provider to investigate how such sensitive information could have ended up with these dubious callers.

Just like others have mentioned, I received a call regarding my boiler insurance. I inquired about the company behind the call, but they dodged the question completely. At that point, I mentioned I wasn’t signed up for any boiler protection and simply hung up.

I've just had a rather perplexing phone call myself. The caller seemed to have all my personal information and was keen to offer me a so-called 'discount'. Just as he was about to transfer me to his manager, I did him a favour and ended the conversation, as I was quite uninterested. Quite the cheek, if you ask me!
