Reports on phone number 01206803106
4 yearsMy elderly mum got tricked by someone called Curtis from Homecare services who rang her up and convinced her to pay $199.99 for a yearly appliance warranty. It was definitely a scam.Curtis4 yearsI got a call from someone named Jordan who was trying to sell me a plumbing insurance renewal at £189.99, but I’m just renting, not owning a property, so I told him I didn’t need building insurance. The guy said his name was Jordan. I’ve never heard of this company before. Strangely, he seemed to know my debit card info and even my password somehow. Be very careful if you get contacted by this company or anyone claiming to work for them. The info I saw on my screen suggested the business has actually shut down quite a while ago.Jordan4 yearsAn individual named Thomas Whittaker, who claims to be an Account Manager from YCH Services, rang my 84 year old mum and pressured her into coughing up £139.99 as a cancellation charge for some insurance policy she never even took out! He somehow managed to persuade her by reciting her card information and passwords, which she’s baffled about since she has no clue how he got hold of those at all.Thomas WhittakerYCH Services4 yearsMy dad got conned out of £79.99 for some fake appliance insurance. He's already told his bank and I'm getting ready to report it to Action Fraud. Absolutely shameless scammers.Action Fraud4 yearsBack in March, a user shared details on how to report scam calls directly to the police. It surely helped a few folks avoid getting scammed. I really recommend having a look through all the comments here - everything you need to know is in them.4 yearsLoads of posts on here explain exactly why you really should report every single scam call to the police. I reckon we all get bombarded with these annoying calls and messages ‘cause hardly anyone bothers to report them. Scammers find it easy to trick vulnerable people, and it’s just lining their pockets with easy, untaxed cash.4 yearsI rang a family member who’s a bit confused and I reckon it was a cold call. Sadly, they ended up handing over £189 to them.4 yearsFor months, my elderly mum got nonstop calls that were really threatening and made her feel scared. They tricked her into paying for a fake home care service, telling her she’d signed up for loads of policies with them - absolute rubbish!4 yearsAbsolute rip off! They rang my grandad, who’s 90, trying to convince him to buy insurance for his telly, saying they were from Sky. Thankfully his carer was with him and she spotted it, calling us straight away since he was reaching for his bank card. Mum rang them back and nearly got caught out too, but thankfully she didn’t. Just hoping they don’t buzz again tomorrow and try the same trick.Sky4 yearsThis bloke kept telling us we’d get a £100 bonus for being a loyal customer. Then he asked for our card details to supposedly stop a payment from going through. He couldn’t even manage to say our names correctly. When I asked him to send something in writing so we could actually understand what this was about, he just hung up on me. Proper stubborn, wouldn’t listen at all. Felt like he just wanted to get our card info and nothing else.Curtis4 yearsThis bloke called himself Curtis and told me since I've been a loyal customer, my insurance for next year would only be £99. When I told him to just cancel it, he suddenly said it would cost me £203 to do that. Then to top it off, he started reading out a credit card number that wasn’t even mine. Total scam, watch out!Curtis4 yearsMy mum got a call from this firm and ended up shelling out £189 for a TV service she never asked for or even wanted. They’re total scammers. I tried sorting a refund but it’s been a nightmare, they were quite abrupt and unhelpful when I rang them. Still trying to get that money back. Would say steer clear of these lot!5 yearsWatch out for scams! If you think you've been targeted, head over to the ‘police.uk’ website and look for the ‘action fraud’ section. There’s a specific page for reporting phishing scams - make sure to read all the instructions carefully. Once you’ve got all the info, submit the scam report straight into their system, adding any links or web addresses you have. This is really important so the police can track how widespread these fraud attempts are.Google‘Action Fraud5 yearsI got a call and somehow they talked my 93-year-old mum into handing over £189.99 for some sort of service no one understands. I’ve contacted the credit card folks to try and get the money back. The scammers didn’t seem bothered at all by phone guardian or anything like that.5 yearsSo, I got a call from someone called Jordan Coppin claiming I owed money for TV insurance I never even agreed to. Feeling a bit daft, I ended up paying £79.99 just to cancel it. I really should’ve looked it up online beforehand. The person on the phone seemed really believable and I wasn’t expecting it, so I got duped. Just a heads up to everyone - don’t be fooled like I was!Jordan Coppin5 yearsI just got a call from a woman named Julie, pretty much the same as what others described here. She told me I'd better pay up or she'd keep ringing me non-stop. I told her outright I’m not handing over any money on the phone and asked if I could speak to someone else. She replied that if I did, it’d be a man who’d be way harsher than her. Quite intimidating really.Julie5 yearsGot a call about some tv insurance payment I supposedly missed, and now they’re threatening court action as soon as tomorrow. Feels like a total scam to me!5 yearsHe called from Essex, insisted I pay upfront for the next three years, said it’d be cheaper if I did it all now. Didn’t end up paying.Essex5 yearsMy 89 year old mum just got phoned by YHC Services. They tricked her into giving her card details by saying it was about her TV insurance. Weirdly, they even knew her old phone number! She ended up having £139.99 taken straight from her credit card. Absolutely shocking.5 years£189 has been taken out of my 83 year old sisters bank without her knowing for some TV insurance. Such a rotten company.5 yearsThis morning, some scammer called my 87 year old mate claiming she needed to pay £190. They even had her card details and said that money would be taken out soon. She ended up cancelling her card straight away. Then the same person phoned again, and when told the card was cancelled, they started threatening her that now she supposedly owed £500. It’s awful how they push older people like that.5 yearsHeads up - this number linked to a group named “YHC” managed to scam £189 out of my elderly family member by tricking them into sharing their bank details. We’ve reported it to the authorities and the bank's fraud team is looking into it now. Still, the calls haven't stopped. Some bloke called Justin from YHC keeps phoning, obviously trying to squeeze more cash out. Be careful with these lot!YHCJUSTIN5 yearsTotally a scam. They kept ringing my grandparents every quarter of an hour on Friday evening, saying they owed £189 but if it wasn’t paid it’d rise to £400. They did give the card details initially, but then wisely rang the bank to stop the payment. Right after, the company called back asking why the money hadn’t gone through. They wouldn’t talk to me, just my nan who told them she’d be sending paperwork in the post. From a quick Google, it looks like the firm is called Your Homecare Services. I’m planning to give them a ring Monday to sort this mess out.Your Homecare Services5 yearsGot a ring from this number from some bloke named Leroy, claiming he was with YOUR HOME CARE SERVICES. He was talking about renewing TV insurance and wanted £189.99 for another three years cover. Said it was 3 payments of £63 and that I got a 40% discount since I hadn’t made any claims. Felt daft and gave my card details. After that, rang my bank straight away to stop the payment. Also called YHCS, told them what happened, and got them to cancel it too. Fingers crossed, that’s sorted now. Watch out for calls from this number, folks! 😤LeroyYHCS5 yearsSo this morning, I got a call from this number, and some woman who said her name was "Emma Gray" told me my TV insurance was about to expire. She said I had to renew for £180 for three years or pay £79 to cancel, and if I didn't sort it right away, the charge would go up to £100! When I asked her to email me the policy and contract details, she said no could do. I told her I'd call back after I had a proper look. Of course, we don't have any such policy or deal with that company. Later, I tried ringing back and left a message asking her to call me, but haven't heard anything yet. I'm thinking whether I should report this to the police but will definitely inform Trading Standards. Typical unsolicited cold call, really shocking behaviour.Emma Gray5 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said his name was Leroy and that he was with some Home Care Services. He told me I could get a discount on my payments since I hadn’t claimed for a few years. He even mentioned my old card info, which made me let my guard down and give him my new card details. Later on, I spoke to my daughter and she reckoned it sounded like a scam and told me to ring my bank straight away. Turns out she was right - £189 got taken from my account. I feel proper daft about it and just want to warn others so they don’t fall for the same trick.LeroyHome Care Services5 yearsGot conned into handing over £189 for TV insurance by some guy named Leroy from Your Care Services. It sounded really legit, especially when someone from the "accounting team" called me afterwards to confirm. Watch out, it’s a convincing scam.LeroyCare Services5 yearsIts just awful how they pressured me into coughing up £139.99 to end my policy. They said if I didn’t pay, they’d automatically charge me £257! I was silly enough to give them my card details and even the security code from the back. Now I’ve had to cancel my card to stop any more dodgy payments.5 yearsMy dad, who has dementia, got pressured into buying TV insurance by some people from YHC Services. They were really pushy and quite nasty about it. Felt like total con artists to me.5 yearsYhc services kept hassling my dad who suffers from dementia, pushing him to buy TV insurance. They were really unpleasant and honestly just scammers.5 yearsMy mum got ripped off for £189 by some fake home care service she didn’t even need. Heads up - if something like this happens to you, chances are your banking info has been shared around, so make sure to switch your account asap!Mum5 yearsEden Hughes attempted to fraudulently charge my card for £189 after somehow getting my details. Absolutely shocking scam!Eden Hughes5 yearsEden Hughes attempted to fraudulently charge my card £189 after stealing my details.Eden Hughes5 yearsMy 86 year old mum got a call from 01206803106 this morning, 31/08/2021, around 9:29 AM. They pretended to be from her bank and claimed she owed £189.99. Sadly, they managed to take that amount from her card, and on her statement it appears as YHCSERVICES. Quite upsetting really.5 yearsThis lot just scammed my mum for £190, can you believe it? The number they used is 01206803106. Absolute crooks.5 yearsthis so called cover appliance kept ringing me and was constantly asking for my bank info, felt really dodgy to me.5 yearsMy elderly mother in law got a call from someone who convinced her to share her bank info. They tried to withdraw money from her account twice, but thankfully we caught it in time and blocked the payments. The bloke said his name was Jason. What a disgrace.Jason5 yearsPretty much the same thing happened to me. Someone called claiming to be Julie and said I made a payment on my Barclay credit card, which I don’t even have. She gave me a phone number to confirm it, but it definitely wasn’t my account. If they already had the card number, why did they need to ask for the expiry date? I decided not to call back and just blocked the number on my phone.Julie5 yearsMy nan, who’s 97, got a call from this number offering to insure her TV for a year for £189, claiming it was some sort of care service. BT has actually blocked her number to prevent cold calls, plus she’d been sold a similar policy last year which we got fully refunded and made sure her details were removed from their list. I reckon this could be a GDPR violation since she never agreed to any of this. Like other folk have said, she was pretty confused on the call and was given misleading info. Her TV’s probably worth no more than £50, so why insure it? They didn’t ask any of that and right from the start they wanted her bank details without giving her a chance to check with us first. I think I’ve managed to get the money back now but really, I’m just trying to warn others. The email they use is [email protected] and their site is https://yhcs.co.uk or www.yhcs.co.uk.BT5 yearsGot a call earlier saying I still owed money on some TV insurance. They wanted me to agree immediately to a three year plan. I asked to cancel it instead, but they said the cancellation charge was higher than the insurance itself. I asked them to wait while I looked for my TV insurance papers, but when I checked back, they’d already disconnected.5 yearsyhes called me and said it was jordan coppin, not sure who that is thoughJordan CoppinYhes5 yearsMy dad got a call from someone claiming to be Jordan Coppin from your home care services. They already had most of his bank card info but the last 4 numbers were wrong, so they asked him to confirm them. They kept pushing that he’d signed up for TV insurance 2 years ago and wanted £189 for it. Somehow, they even managed to get past his nuisance call blocker. It sounded really legit, but be careful, it’s dodgy.Jordan Coppin5 yearsI got a call from someone called Leeroy claiming to be from Your Home Care Services. He told me I supposedly have a five-year contract for my TV, which I definitely don’t. He mentioned that since I haven’t had any service visits in two years, my payments would drop to £66 annually for the next three years, and after that, they’d stop the renewal. Then he said if I refuse to pay, I could cancel but would have to cough up £300 to cover the rest of the contract. Thing is, I’ve never signed anything with them and he even insisted I made the first payment back in May 2019, but I can’t find any proof of that. Plus, he claimed he had my debit card details which would expire in August 2021, which is totally false. He asked me to ring him back on 01206803106 but there’s no chance I’m doing that.LeeroyHome Care Services5 yearsJust wanted to mention that the number 01245969310 is also being used to make threats!5 yearsGot a call about renewing some TV insurance that I never signed up to. The bloke said his name was Steven Perry, from a firm called YHES or something like that. Totally confusing!Steven PerryYhes5 yearsyhc services is just a bunch of scammers. they managed to trick my elderly relative into handing over £189, claiming she’d signed up for some “appliance cover” and owed another payment on it. it’s absolutely shocking. we’ve reported them to trading standards, the police and i’m planning to take legal action so they don’t target anyone else who's vulnerable. watch out for them!YHC Services5 yearsThis morning my mum got a call from this number, and the person on the line was asking if she wanted to pay for a TV licence for three years. I checked with her, and thankfully she didn't share any of her bank info. Has anyone else been contacted by these folks?5 yearsI got a call from this number claiming I’d signed up for a three year TV insurance plan back in 2019 and supposedly paid £99 from a bank account I don’t even use for bills. I actually cancelled an insurance then, but it was with a completely different firm. The woman on the phone, Julie, insisted it was a valid three-year contract, supposedly confirmed by voice recognition on the call. She started demanding more money and got really upset when I told her I had no agreement with them and asked if I could call back after checking my paperwork. She just hung up and said she’d be contacting my bank. I’ve told my bank not to make any payments.Julie5 years01206803106 My elderly mum got a call from this number, with a bloke claiming to be from a TV repair company. He insisted she’d signed up to a policy back in 2019 after a long chat. The bloke called himself Steven Perry. He tried to pitch a "better deal" but got quite narky when I said no way was I handing out any bank info over the phone, especially since my mum had no idea about any such policy. When I told him she wanted to cancel, he insisted she was stuck in a legal contract! Not sure if he’s legit or not, but I reckon it’s best to be cautious even if they sound friendly and sincere.Steven PerrySubmit Your Own Report (01206 803106)
