4 yearsGot a call from 01204200197 earlier, no idea who it was. Number totally unfamiliar to me.4 yearsGot two calls yesterday from the number 02080773652, both times someone pretending to be with the Council's Disrepair Team. They wouldn't say which Council or social housing they were from though. Definitely felt like a scam to me.Disrepair TeamCouncil and Social HousingCouncil4 yearsGot a call from a bloke in Bolton saying he was from the council. He was asking if everything was alright with the water and gas at my place. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Bolton4 yearsThis number just keeps ringing, so I decided not to pick up.4 yearsReceived a call claiming to be from council tax asking for my bank info, felt a bit fishy to me. Definitely sounded like a scam trying to get hold of my details. Just glad I didn’t fall for it.4 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust them!4 yearsGot a call from 01204200197 telling me I’d won some cash. Then they tried to get my bank details to send the money. Pretty sure it was just another dodgy scam. I’ve blocked the number now.4 yearsToday, I got two calls from Bolton numbers I didn’t recognise. They kept ringing for ages, so I just didn’t bother picking up and blocked them straight away. I really don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t know.Bolton4 yearsDon’t recognise this number at all.4 yearsWhat a total waste of time! They didn’t bother leaving any message either. Just going to block them.5 yearsDidn’t recognise the number so I just ignored it. After reading the reviews here, I’m relieved I didn’t pick up. Have blocked it now.5 yearsGot a call I didn’t pick up, but after reading the reviews on this site, I decided to block the number just to be safe.5 yearsHung up quickly.5 yearsHad a ring but they didn’t leave a message. Decided to block the number straight away.5 yearsJust got a ring again from someone claiming to be UK Life Insurance. Seriously, watch out - this has scam written all over it. Best to block the number and report it straight away.UK Life InsuranceBest5 yearsDidn’t get a voicemail or anything. Cheers for the info, helped me block them straight away.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Lloyds, and they even used my nickname, which seemed odd since no bank ever does that. They started talking about a £3,000 plus PPI payout. I told them I’ve never been a Lloyds customer. Then they asked if I recalled making payments nearly a decade ago. When I said no, the line just went dead.Lloyds Bank5 yearsGot a call from what they said was Lloyds bank, but the folks on the line were actually from an Indian call centre trying to get my banking details. It’s definitely a scam going on with these call centres. Watch out and don’t give out your private info!Lloyds Bank5 yearsGot calls non stop, never picked up just to be followed up by calls again. Decided to check who they were, and wow, glad I did.5 yearsSome bloke with an Indian accent called himself John Maxwell from Lloyds Bank. He claimed my PPI claim went through and I was due £3528.29. He asked for my sort code and account number to send the cash straight to my account. When I told him I wasn’t keen on giving out my bank info and asked if they could just send a cheque, he said due to Covid restrictions they'd only do transfers. Just so you know, I never handed over any of my details.John MaxwellLloyd ' s Bank5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be John at Lloyds Bank about a supposed ppi refund, asking for my bank info. When I asked him for any proof that he was legit, he just said I needed to give him my details first (seemed like his English wasn’t great and not sure his name was really John). I refused to give anything without proof and he just ended the call. Definitely a scam.JohnLloyds Bank5 yearsThis isn't the first occasion either! After we ended the call, they somehow kept the line engaged for a few minutes which meant we couldn’t use our landline. This is really worrying given that there are vulnerable folks living here.6 yearsThey keep ringing me non stop, like 20 times just these last few days. I’ve blocked the number but somehow they keep finding a way through. Proper nuisance, honestly can’t stand it anymore!6 yearsOver the past couple of days, I've had a couple of calls about a white goods policy, which I've never even signed up for!6 yearsA woman called, said she was Anna from some Homecare company, talking about a policy I supposedly have. I don’t actually have any policy with them, so I just ended the call.Anna6 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be Anna, said she was from Homecare and wanted to talk about my insurance. Since I don’t have any policy with them, I just ended the call.Anna6 yearsI’m sick of getting calls from them, especially since I don’t have any white goods insurance with these lot.6 yearsA few calls came in about this Appliance insurance thing. I just told them I don't own any and then cut them off. They've rung me around three times over the past three days. Thankfully, my phone flags them as potential scams, so I’ve stopped picking up.6 yearsKeeps ringing me up about insurance, proper annoying. They got blocked but still managed to ring me four times this afternoon. Hope next time they try something else!6 yearsGot a call from a bloke called Michael, or something like that, from Domestic and General. He was asking for my bank info, to "update" it or something, even though they've already got it since I've got a standing order set up. When I told him I wasn’t about to hand over my bank details on the phone, he suddenly got a bit rude.Michael6 yearsFor the past four days straight, this number keeps ringing me. The very first time I picked up, I told them no thanks to their kitchen appliance insurance and yet they keep calling.6 yearsI’ve gone ahead and blocked those dodgy callers.6 yearsI’ve gone and blocked those dodgy numbers now.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Homeserve, asking for our bank details. We decided to give them fake account numbers and then reported it as fraud. They rang again, saying those numbers didn’t go through - total scam, watch out!Homeserve6 yearsI just ignored the call since the number was totally unfamiliar, but these fraudsters really ought to be caught and put to a stop.6 yearsI’ve had about 4 calls from this number, but when I tried ringing back, it says the number isn’t valid.6 yearsThey rang me two times yesterday and did the same twice today. I’ve had calls before from numbers starting 01204 200 something quite a few times. It’s starting to feel like harassment. When I asked who gave them my number, they just stayed silent. I told them to take my number off their calling list as well.6 yearsIt's crazy, they had my name and address from almost a year ago and started asking to confirm my info now. They claimed I had a Home Care policy back in 2017 that covered a fridge freezer, a washing machine, and a cooker. Thing is, I never even owned a fridge freezer, the washing machine was already ancient by then, and the cooker was actually the landlord's. I flat out told them I never took a policy with them at all. Just a heads up, watch out for this!Home Care6 yearsI got a call from 01204 200197, a woman claiming to be from some homecare service. She said we were behind on payments, supposedly owing £300 for a fridge freezer, washing machine, and dryer because apparently we hadn't paid since 2017. Seemed pretty dodgy to me!6 yearsI never picked up since I don't know anyone from Bolton and no voicemail was left. Ended up blocking the number.Bolton6 yearsI’ve been getting nonstop phone calls from this number even whilst I’m stuck in hospital. I’ve blocked it already, but they just keep ringing non stop. It’s so annoying how relentless they are.6 yearsReceived a call about renewing a policy I supposedly started back in 2017 covering my cooker, fridge, freezer and washing machine. They couldn’t say what brand any of the appliances were. I asked them to remove my info from their records right away.6 yearsGot a call about some "Home Care" white goods warranty thingy, no clue who they are or anything about it. Totally new to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!6 yearsThey claimed I had an insurance policy for white goods going back to 2017. I've got no clue who they are!!! Never dealt with them before!6 yearsThese scammers keep ringing me up so often, like several times every single day, and honestly, I'm fed up with it.6 yearsGot a call from a woman saying my home appliances insurance was up for renewal and that I could get a discount. Thing is, I don’t even have that kind of policy, so when I told her that, she got kinda pushy. I told her to cancel whatever policy she was talking about (which doesn’t exist) and then she just ended the call. Felt pretty scammy to me.6 yearsGot a phone call from someone saying they were from Domestic & General about renewing my appliance cover. The woman on the phone was really polite and sounded legit, but when she asked for my card details I knew something was fishy. Turns out Domestic & General only take payments by direct debit, so we got in touch with them to check and they told us this number is definitely a scam.Domestic & General6 yearsGot a call about renewing some insurance for household stuff, but they used an address I haven't lived at in over a decade. When I said I wasn’t gonna give them my new card details, they just hung up on me!6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they needed to verify my bank info because my Homecare insurance for some stuff I bought years ago was expiring soon. I told him straight up he was a scammer and he goes, “I’ll pray for you when your fridge stops working tonight and all your food spoils.” Gotta say, that was a bit unexpected!6 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from Homecare and that they were updating a policy I'd had since 2017. They asked for my card expiry date, saying the one they had was no longer valid. This call came shortly after I had spoken with Homecare for other reasons, so it sounded legit at first, but now I'm not so sure.6 yearsSomeone rang saying they were offering a discount on insurance for white goods. I didn’t share any info with them, and then they got quite rude out of nowhere. Proper annoying experience.6 yearsGot a call about renewing my homecare from some "white goods" company. The guy on the phone had a thick accent and was really pushy when I said I needed to check who he was after he gave his details. Proper chatty but not in a good way!6 yearsCalled, it rang twice, then nothing.6 yearsMy phone showed 'Schools' calling, so I just ignored it and didn’t answer.6 yearsGot a call from 01204200197 claiming to be from some home care company wanting to renew my white goods insurance, which I don’t even have. They insisted they took a payment from me back in Feb 2020, but after checking, that’s just not right. When I asked for an email to sort things out, they said there wasn’t one. Didn’t bother calling back as I thought it might be a premium rate number. This caller is totally unknown to me and could be risky, especially if they’re targeting vulnerable people.6 yearsThey kept messing up my last name, so I just told them whoever they wanted didn’t live at this number.6 yearsI got a call saying my home appliance plan, which supposedly I’ve had the whole year, is getting a discount now. Thing is, I’ve never actually signed up for any of that.6 yearsGot a call about an annual renewal for some home appliance cover from a company I don’t even remember signing up with. They were pushing a discount for renewing, so I figured they’d probably try to get my bank info next. Felt really dodgy to me.6 yearsI've tried blocking Energy Swap on loads of numbers but they keep coming back. Honestly, it's like they can't take a hint that I'm not keen on what they're offering. Proper annoying!6 yearsNo idea who this is, but the number says Bolton when they called me.BoltonSubmit Your Own Report (01204 200197)
