01208640398 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01208640398 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from a BT landline in Bodmin, often involving callers posing as representatives from a domestic appliance insurance company. Callers frequently address individuals by name, ask about household appliances, and sometimes request sensitive banking details. Most calls feature unclear accents and suspicious behaviour, with many recipients noting the number is linked to fraudulent activity. Despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service, users continue to receive calls. The callers rarely leave messages and often hang up abruptly when challenged. Authorities advise reporting such incidents to Action Fraud and sharing warnings on social media to raise awareness and prevent financial loss. Blocking the number alone is insufficient, as scammers tend to use multiple lines. Vigilance and informed caution are essential.

Received a dodgy call from a telemarketer, but thankfully, my Samsung's Smart Call feature blocked it.

Got a call from someone with a really hard-to-understand accent, maybe Chinese or just faking it, asking what kind of TV I have. Then they started going on about needing to renew insurance on it, sounded like the usual scam rubbish to me.

Early this morning about 8:50, I got a call on my landline which is on the TPS list and not in any directory. It was a woman with an Asian accent who said she was from Domestic Appliance Insurance. She wanted to speak to someone by name and asked if our kitchen appliances were all ok. Seemed dodgy to me, so I’ve blocked the number straight away.

Just got a call like 5 mins back from a guy with an Asian accent who said his name was "Kevin" (odd, right?). He spoke to my husband and even knew his name, which was strange. He claimed to be from some Domestic Appliances Insurance and wanted to check if all our appliances were fine. My husband didn’t say much and hung up straight away. Seems dodgy to me since we don’t have any insurence like that at all.

Got a call supposedly from some home appliance company checking if my gadgets are alright... I've had a bunch of these calls before over time. The number comes from a BT landline in Bodmin. I’m signed up to BT’s telephone preference service, so why hasn’t BT revoked their permission to use the landline 01208640398? The TPS doesn’t seem to be doing much at all.

Got a call around 9:45 from a man with a strong Asian accent. He somehow already had my husband's name. Took me a while but I figured out he was asking something about my washing machine. Pretty sure it was a scam, so I just ended the call.

Got a call from this number, bloke sounded Asian but wouldn’t tell me what company he was calling from. Could hear kids laughing and chatting in the background the whole time.

They called me once more but I didn’t pick up, so it went to voicemail. I didn’t leave any message back.

This number has reached out to me on two separate occasions over the past couple of days, claiming to be from a domestic service. I decided to indulge their little game. When they inquired about my bank's sort code, I couldn’t help but chuckle. I informed them that I'm 81 years young and that it’s rather impressive they think they can pull a fast one on our generation. We're not as gullible as they might assume! Let’s just say I wasn’t completely honest about my feelings!

Got a call from an unknown number this morning at 11:32 (Saturday 15th June). I didn’t answer it since I didn’t know who it was. After looking it up here, I found out it’s a scam, so I’m going to block it straight away.

Got a call on my phone last Saturday morning from a lady who kept jabbering about not wasting too much of my time. She didn’t sound English at all, so I just hung up straight away. Blocked her now.

I usually just ignore calls from numbers I dont know, especially if they don’t leave a voicemail. If they keep calling, I block and delete straight away.
