I had a look at the documents I keep for my various appliances and noticed a couple of odd things. The person sounded English but couldn’t pronounce Torquay properly, which seemed strange. Also, the appliance they mentioned was definitely still covered by a contract. After that, I just blocked their number and stopped all contact.

Got a call about renewing my washing machine's warranty, but they already had my name, address and even the last four digits of my bank card! They claimed I had a Hotpoint machine, which I don’t. At first I thought it was from the company I’d got coverage with, but then the guy got all cocky and started pushing me hard. That’s when I twigged it was a scam and hung up straight away.

Got a call from a woman with an English accent about my washing machine. She actually knew my full name and address, which freaked me out - they must have gotten hold of some kind of customer database! I told her I wasn’t interested, then she just hung up. I blocked the number straight away.

I received a rather dodgy call the other day regarding renewal insurance for my washing machine. The thing is, our machine is a whopping 20 years old and hasn't had any kind of insurance since the warranty expired, so it was clearly a scam attempt to fish for my bank details. What really threw me was that they had my mobile number and even my home address, which is a bit unsettling and could easily mislead some unsuspecting folks.
