01216550261 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01216550261 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam caller impersonating appliance or washing machine insurance providers, notably claiming affiliation with well-known companies like Domestic & General. Callers often know recipients' names and addresses, pressuring them to renew or purchase bogus cover, but abruptly hang up when questioned or challenged. Techniques include silent calls, aggressive sales pitches, and requests for bank or personal details. Many victims report repeated calls despite blocking efforts, with some describing unprofessional conduct and offensive language. Callers use local-sounding numbers to appear legitimate. It is widely advised not to engage or provide any information and to register complaints with the Telephone Preference Service and relevant authorities. Blocking the number and reporting it helps reduce harassment from this fraudulent activity.
Reports on phone number 01216550261
6 yearsNo clue who this is, so now I just ignore calls from numbers I don’t recognise, they stress me out way too much.8 yearsThat appliance insurance call was so annoying!9 yearsA polite guy called me using my name, asking if I had insurance for my AEG washing machine. I told him he should talk to my husband instead, then he just hung up. I don't even own an AEG washer or any insurance for one.9 yearsJust got a call from this number and they were asking for a woman. When I told them they’d got the wrong number, the person on the other end goes, “So why are you still on the phone then?” Really weird.9 yearsGot a call showing as a debt collector but said it was from D and G or something, i was just washing my hands and then used the hand dryer so barely heard anything, he just ended the call. These calls are getting proper annoying now. This was a different number to the one i got yesterday.9 yearsToday this number tried ringing but luckily I have call blocking set up, so the phone never made a sound. You can still see the blocked calls though. The phone only alerts if the caller is someone saved in your contacts or if they leave a voicemail. Honestly, I think everyone should get this feature because it really cuts down on annoying calls. It’s such a relief not to be bothered by those random calls all day long!9 yearsTaking advantage of the weak, these cruel scam artists are pathetic. Wish these horrible muppets just croak from some awful illness.9 yearsBeware of scams! I received a call earlier posing as a representative from D&G, the washing machine insurance company. The caller became flustered and abruptly ended the call when I began to question him about the legitimacy of his request for my bank details. It's essential to stay vigilant and avoid falling victim to these fraudulent schemes.D & G9 yearsThey jus wouldnt accept me saying no.9 yearsThey repeatedly make calls, but refuse to respond when I call them back. Is this a scam?9 yearsWhen I picked up, there was total silence and then the call got cut off after a bit. I reckon they’re probably checking when you’re most likely to pick up. Proper annoying these calls. I usually just stay quiet so they waste their time and money. Bloody irritating lot.9 yearsI gotta say, this strange caller got in touch with me too, talking about my washing machine insurance running out soon and asking if it’s still working fine. The thing is, I already cancelled my old policy with a different company back in spring, so this sounds like a load of rubbish. As soon as I told him I had some questions, he just hung up on me. Now I’ve got to deal with the annoying chore of blocking his number - first I need to figure out how to do that. Hopefully, the internet will sort me out.9 yearsGot a call about some washing machine insurance. The bloke said the company was called DAG or maybe BAG. He quickly jumped in asking if I wanted the 3 year or 1 year cover. I paused and asked him which washing machine he was talking about, then he just hung up on me.DAGBAG9 yearsrang me, said my name then just ended the call when I said yes. bit worrying that.9 yearsSo fed up with these idiots calling and already knowing my name or saying my car insurance needs renewing! Then they just hang up. It’s got to be illegal!9 yearsReally annoying. They keep ringing and hanging up straight away. Total hassle!!9 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were from DAG about renewing insurance for my washing machine. Thing is, i dont have one at the moment! When i pointed that out they just ended the call. Feels really dodgy to me, like theyre trying to trick people who might not be so careful into giving away their bank info and other personal stuff.DAG9 yearsThey've rung a few times, kept asking for my son, but when I asked what it was about, they just dropped the call straight away.9 yearsThey asked me about a washing machine and the moment I mentioned it was under warranty, they just hung up on me.9 yearsGot a call on 13/12/2017 from a bloke with a posh voice saying he was from D&G, telling me my washing machine insurance was overdue. I asked him what brand the machine was and he just hung up. We've never even taken out washing machine insurance. I reckon some people might get scared and end up giving these con artists their bank info.D & G9 yearsThey just laughed at me as soon as I picked up and then ended the call.9 yearsThey call me pretty much every week without fail. Always asking for someone who doesn’t even live here and then they either get rude trying to sell stuff or just hang up and keep calling back. These scammers really should be shut down and the people running these scams thrown behind bars. The phone companies letting these call centres operate should be held responsible too. And honestly, why do they keep going after all this time? Because plenty of folks are still falling for their tricks.9 yearsThis number has called me quite a few times lately. Every time I answer, I stay quiet and they do the same before ending the call. Just a right pain really. I’ve ended up blocking it now.9 yearsGot a call from someone about a washing machine cover for my old address. They ended the call before I could explain anything further.9 yearsI own a BT Guardian phone which is supposed to block calls from numbers that are not saved in my contacts. However, I am still constantly receiving calls regarding washing machine insurance that manage to go through and bother me.BT Guardian9 yearsGot a call earlier saying my washing machine cover is nearly expired, the caller said they were from D and G. Bit odd coz they already had my name and number. They told me I was a ‘good customer’ since I didn’t make a claim last year, which isn’t true as I had an engineer round just a couple of weeks ago. When I asked him to say the company name again, he just ended the call. Proper dodgy!D and G9 yearsGot a call from this number around 1:30pm on 08/12/17. With all these annoying spam and scam calls these days, we normally leave the answering machine switched on. If the number’s unfamiliar, we just wait to see if they leave anything. If there’s no message, we pretty much just write it off as a scam. Afterwards, I always check the number on this website to see if others have flagged it, so I can block it if needed. Honestly, I’d love nothing more than to hit these scammers where it hurts - their wallets.9 yearsGot a call earlier but the lady was hard to understand, though she did know my name and where I live. She claimed they were covering the insurance for my washing machine, which is totally not true since I don’t have any insurance and my washer’s way past any warranty. Told her that and then put a complaint in with the TPS.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsI received a call from 0121 655 0261 at half eleven on the 7th of December, 2017, and the chap on the line spoke with a rather posh accent. He insisted he was from 'D,A,G' and was notifying me about my washing machine insurance coming to an end. Realising this was all a ruse, I cheekily inquired if it had something to do with my 'claim'. He informed me he was in the renewals section, not claims. So, I quipped, 'Let me speak to the claims department, you muppet.' The caller got a bit huffy, threatening to hang up since I called him a muppet. I said, 'Oh come on, don’t dawdle, just connect me to claims, you daft git!' Scammer: 'So, I’m a daft git now, am I...?' (Clearly rattled at this point) Me: 'What are you going to do about it then? Fancy popping 'round to deal with me?' Scammer: 'I’m a git, is that it...?’ Me: 'Absolutely, come over, and I’ll give your face a nice lick!' After that, I ended the call, had a cheeky smoke, and had a right good chuckle!Scammer9 yearsEnded the call just before my voicemail started answering.9 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking really fast from D&G about a washing machine. I told her I had no clue what she meant, and then she just ended the call.D & G9 yearsGot a call from some guy claiming to be from D&G saying my washing machine’s warranty is nearly up. Told him I don’t have a warranty with them, and he just hung up on me.D & G9 yearsSame here, just blocked them straight away.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today but they hung up right when I answered. Didn’t say a thing.9 yearsSomeone said they was from D & G and wanted a BACS payment for a renewal - but I checked with D & G and they said they never rang me.D & G9 yearsI have been receiving phone calls every day for the past two weeks. The person hangs up as soon as the answering machine starts recording.9 years0121 655 0261 Scam alert! Some bloke called Jonathon from D&G claiming my washing machine warranty had expired and offered to renew it straight away. Sounded really convincing and polite tho.JonathonD & G9 yearsJust like everyone else, I got a call saying my washing machine cover was about to run out and that I could renew it for £9.99 a month by direct debit, or pay a smaller one-off fee. It’s scary that people might actually be handing over their bank details to these fraudsters. My washing machine was bought nearly 5 years ago from Boots Appliances, so I’m wondering if Boots passed on my info since they had my name, address, and purchase date. When I asked a couple of questions, they just ended the call.Boots AppliancesBoots9 yearsI have received five calls from this particular number over the past fortnight. Every time I pick up, they abruptly end the call without uttering a word. I haven't bothered attempting to return their call. It's quite clear that they are involved in some dubious activity!9 yearsThis number called me askin for my name, bloke said he was martin and sounded like he was from vat or summat, then just cut me off. I called back and now I'm proper worried it might’ve cost me loads. When I rang, it did say to hold my call and that it was important to them or whatever.Martin9 yearsI just got a call from this number, I said hello and stayed quiet, then the person on the other end just shouted "what the f?#k?". Really rude!9 yearsGot a cold call from a bloke saying he was with D&G, telling me my washing machine warranty was about to expire this month and they’ve stopped doing automatic renewals. I said I didn’t know I even had cover, but kept him going for a bit. He knew my full name (not the shortened one I usually give) and even the street I live on, so I had a laugh about that. But he cut me off when I said again I wasn’t aware of any washing machine cover. I’ve blocked the number now.D & G9 yearsMy 11 year old picked up the phone and was met with rude language after he realised it was a scam call. Absolutely shocking behaviour!9 yearsI received a call today from D at G, informing me that my washing machine insurance had expired. However, this information is incorrect as my insurance is still valid. The caller knew my name, but I have experienced similar calls in the past, which leads me to suspect that this call may be part of a scam.D9 yearsrepeatedly making phone calls and abruptly ending the conversation9 yearsIn the past two days, I have received three phone calls, but every time they hang up before I can have a conversation with them. Since my caller display only shows 655 0261, it appears to be a local number from the 0121 exchange, making me think it might be someone I am acquainted with.9 yearsThey've called me 3 times over the last couple of days, but they hang up before I can say anything. Since I'm on the 0121 code, the caller ID just shows 655 0261, which looks like a local number, so I thought it might be someone I know.9 yearsGot a call from some place claiming to be D&G washing machine insurance. They said I had to renew right away with my credit card and kept saying it was from Domestic & General. I showed him my papers saying we were already covered and then he just ended the call.Domestic and General9 yearsPretty much the same as what others have said. They told me I had some sort of warranty I never used and were offering me a discount for next year with extra perks. Once I mentioned I already had British Gas appliance cover, they cut me off straight away. Total SCAM.British Gas9 yearsBe aware that this phone number is fake, and I strongly advise you not to be deceived by this fraudulent activity.9 yearsGot a call where they only used my surname, asking about some washing machine insurance at my place. Told them I had no clue about any washing machine insurance and they just ended the call!9 yearsI keep receiving calls from this particular number, and every time I attempt to return the call, it goes straight to voicemail. It's really frustrating! However, I'm glad that I decided to look up the number. Thank you for giving me the warning!9 yearsGot a call from someone wanting to talk to a specific person. Told them that person stopped using our number like over three years ago. The caller just hung up straight away.9 yearsGot a call from D&G about washing machine insurance. They gave me a dodgy address that was local and used my name. When I said that info was made up, they just hung up.D & G9 yearsThey keep ringing even though ive blocked the number over and over.9 yearsSome bloke named “Edward” from DAG rang me about renewing my washing machine insurance. I don’t even have one, but he chatted away like I might've signed up and forgot. I asked when this policy supposedly started, and he said 2015, which was a red flag for me. I then asked when and where I bought the machine - his details were all wrong. When I asked how much it’d be, he said £99 or £9.90 a month on direct debit. I wanted a website, he said “I’ve got it here somewhere” then just hung up. Proper scam, 100%.EdwardDAG9 yearsGot a call from this number today. Didn’t pick up but after seeing these reviews, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.9 yearsGot a missed call from 01216 550261 but luckily didn’t pick up. I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number now.9 yearsI recently encountered a scam where someone attempted to sell me insurance by pretending to be my insurance provider. When I asked them for the policy reference number as verification, they abruptly ended the call.9 yearsI replied that Mr. ... was unavailable. They inquired about his presence and I asked for clarification. However, without further communication, the call was abruptly ended.9 yearsJonathan, you should totally block this number!Jonathan9 yearsI receive multiple daily phone calls from this particular number. However, every time I answer, there is just a dial tone on the other end. My suspicion is that it could be a PPI company based in Birmingham.Birmingham9 yearsBe cautious as the washing machine scam does not include insurance. Be on high alert.9 yearsEarlier today, I received a call from the aforementioned number. The person on the other end informed me that my washing machine insurance was about to expire. They suggested that as a valued customer, they could offer me a three-year insurance plan for £199. However, I promptly informed them that I already had insurance coverage from Curry's. They acknowledged this but noted that I was only paying £4 per month for it. I clarified that my monthly payments were significantly higher than that. After realizing their mistake, they apologized and hang up the phone when I decided to stick with my current Curry's insurance. As a 70-year-old individual, I may be older in age, but not naive enough to fall for such a scam.Curry9 yearsSome bloke rang asking my missus about the washing machine, this was the second time since I picked up the phone before. Feels like they’re fishing for info from some outdated list. Probably trying to sell some dodgy breakdown insurance or nick our card details. I just ended the call, same thing happened last time when I told him we got a new washer, he switched to asking about the fridge freezer. Total scam. Best to just hang up and avoid the hassle.9 yearsHad a call from someone I didn't recognise but strangely, he knew my name and my job's phone number. He said he was ringing about a washing machine at the place I lived at like six years ago. When I told him I haven't lived there for ages, he just ended the call. I've blocked the number since then.9 yearsGot called three times, totally spam. Told them it was my third time picking up and they just dropped the call.9 yearsI received a phone call today from this number. They hung up as soon as I answered. Another waste of time! I tried calling them back, but all I got was an answering machine! Such nuisance callers!9 years01216 550261 - I got a call from a bloke named Jonathon saying my washing machine warranty had been lowered. He tried to get me to confirm card info over the phone. I've got a policy with Domestic and General, and they would never ask for that sort of info like that. He said he was ringing from Domestic Assure Guard. When I told him I’m with D&G, he just said there must be a mix-up and hung up.JonathonDomestic andGeneralDomestic Assure GuardD & G9 yearsThis number rang me today 20/11/17 claiming to be from DHE saying my washer needed renewing and they could give me a discount if I paid £66 today instead of the usual £99. I told them I never got a renewal letter, they said it was sent last week. I asked for their number to call back cos I’m pretty sure I’m not due yet and I pay by direct debit. They gave me a different number. I checked my policy, I’m actually with D & G and my renewal isn't till April next year. Watch out, this seems like a scam!! I’ve reported it to D & G.DHED & G9 yearsAnother annoying spam call. Blocked the number straight away.9 yearsI keep getting calls a couple times a day from this number claiming I’ve signed up for some washing machine insurance (my machine’s well past 10 years so that sounds fishy). Sometimes they just hang up right away, other times they give a cheeky reply. I’ve put them on the TPS list now.FranklyTelephone Preference Service9 yearsSome bloke said he was from D&G about breakdown cover for my washer. He knew my name and address and reckoned my cover ended in August 2017. When I told him I’d paid the direct debit for September and October and have to check with my bank, he just hung up on me! Tried ringing back, but no one picked up! 17.11.17D & G9 yearsI just had the same experience. When I answered bluntly, they quickly ended the call - sounded like an Indian accent.9 yearsI didn't say a word when I picked up and they just ended the call.9 yearsThis number keeps ringing me over and over. I didn’t pick up, and after seeing what others have said about it, I’ve decided to just block it.9 yearsjust had the same thing, block this number for good!9 yearsI received a phone call informing me that I have been making payments for quite some time. They mentioned reducing the payment amount, but then requested my bank details. I ended up making the payment through direct debit.9 yearsGot a weird and annoying call from someone I didn't know on Wed 15/11/17 at 11:51am.9 yearsgot a call from these fraudsters today. they claimed my washing machine insurance needed renewing and that they’ve been covering me for two years. problem is, i’ve only had the machine for a year. best block this number everyone. complete bunch of scammers.9 yearssomeone rang saying they were from d&g about breakdown cover for my washing machine. they knew my name and address but as soon as i said i wasnt a customer, they just hung up. definitely block this number.D & G9 yearsi keep ending the call as soon as i say hello9 yearsI received an unexpected phone call from a group of dodgy individuals claiming that my D&G Hotpoint plan was expiring today. They tried to convince me to extend it for another three years at the price of two, promising it would save me money. However, there was a catch - they wanted double what I currently pay! I became suspicious when they asked for my payment card details, especially since I usually pay by direct debit. Sensing something fishy, I requested they send me the paperwork instead. To my surprise, the call suddenly ended abruptly. I attempted the old trick of calling back, only to be put on an annoyingly long hold with a robotic American voice repeatedly informing me about the importance of my call and urging me to wait for the next available agent (which probably meant waiting until I reached my golden years).D & G Hotpoint9 yearsNo details found, but since buying from an eBay seller, Ive been getting loads of calls like this.9 yearsGot a call from some call centre about my washing machine and renewing my service cover. Check out my other note from “4th Nov 17” above. When I tried to cancel this policy, they just hung up on me and I couldn’t ring back because the line was always busy. Proper dodgy stuff. Wouldn’t trust them again.9 yearsDidn't pick up when they called, but after looking at what others have said, I'll just hang up straight away if they try again.9 yearsToday, a call was received from this particular number inquiring about the desire to extend our coverage. The individual on the other end of the line mentioned that our appliance was identified as a Hotpoint washing machine. However, it is important to note that we have never possessed such a machine. Remarkably, their authenticity was rather convincing! Fortunately, we have taken the necessary precaution and added this number to our blacklist.9 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from domestic & general. They knew my name and address and sounded legit, but it was a scam trying to make me renew my policy over the phone. When I got back, I checked my actual policy and rang the number on that, who said the call I’d had from this other number was fake. Definitely block this number!Domestic & General9 yearsRefused to say who it was and just ended the call when asked. Tried ringing back but got the call centre instead.9 yearsThey go by the name V&G and claim to offer insurance for washing machines and other appliances. This is the second time they have contacted us, attempting to sound like D&G, the well-known Domestic & General insurers.
