2 yearsI received a call from someone who seemed to have an Indian accent, claiming to be from a company linked to my television repair insurance. They insisted that I must pay £89 to cancel my policy, or else they would take £390 from my bank account to keep it running. I promptly told them what I thought of that. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch the name of the company they represented. Now, I’m curious to find out the origins of this number.2 yearsReceived a call on our landline only for them to cut off as soon as I answered. Seems like they might be on the hunt for potential targets to swindle.2 yearsReceived a call at 18:50 on the 17th of January, 2024, from someone who was nearly spot on with my name. I suspect my tone didn’t sit well with her when I probed a bit, and she abruptly ended the call.2 yearsI experienced something quite similar, where the caller referred to me as 'Mrs' followed by my first name. They went on about a policy that was nearing expiration and claimed they could offer me a fantastic deal for renewal. To be honest, I struggled to grasp what they were saying and found it difficult to hear her clearly.2 yearsIn my opinion, it's nothing more than a con.2 yearsAs soon as I picked up the phone, the caller promptly disconnected.2 yearsI received a call from Chelmsford today. A woman, who spoke with an Indian accent, introduced herself as representing a company called Homecare. She mentioned something about lowering our final payment since we hadn't made any claims over the last couple of years. I decided to wrap up the conversation there.ChelmsfordHomecare2 yearsReceived a rather dubious call from a call centre located in India. The caller was clearly reciting a rehearsed script, claiming I had an existing policy for my television with a payment overdue. Quite amusing, considering I had no such policy whatsoever! When I informed her of my lack of a policy and requested she specify the make and model of this alleged TV, she refused, stating that it was a 'security question' she needed to pose to me. I firmly told her that I wouldn't proceed with the conversation until she confirmed that information, but she remained adamant in her refusal-classic signs of a scam where they attempt to extract your personal details. I warned her that I would be reporting this as a fraudulent scheme, which seemed to irritate her, as she was clearly losing control of her script. In a huff, she abruptly ended the call. Please be vigilant and aware that this is a ploy to obtain your banking information and establish a bogus policy tied to your name and electrical items. Don’t hesitate to report these scammers!India2 yearsSo, I received a rather puzzling phone call today. The caller claimed that I had supposedly signed up for an electrical contract two years back, and it was set to expire today. She mentioned that since I hadn't lodged any claims, they could offer me a renewal for the bargain price of £99. Naturally, I told her that I had never entered into such an agreement and asked her to clarify the name of the company, but I couldn't quite catch her response. She was persistent, insisting I had indeed signed up for something that I was completely oblivious to. When I pressed her to just cancel it, she informed me it was impossible since, apparently, I had missed the cooling-off period from two years ago! Frustrated, I told her to hold on while I fetched a pen to jot down the company details. But just as I was about to get the information, she abruptly hung up! What a bizarre experience!2 yearsMy mother received a call from this number, but thankfully, she’s almost hard of hearing. After the typical greetings and inquiries about their identity, they wouldn’t let up until she eventually said she’d hand them over to me. To be honest, I can be quite abrupt on the phone, and the moment I said hello and asked what they wanted, they hung up straightaway. It’s clear they’re targeting vulnerable elderly folks to try and con them.2 yearsThis makes the third call of this nature in recent times. They're all about some sort of renewal, and they keep mentioning this so-called reduced premium of £89. Honestly, I’ve taken to simply hanging up on them now. They really are quite relentless!2 yearsThey're attempting to persuade me that I've got some sort of boiler insurance policy with them-it's clearly a con!2 yearsI received a rather forceful call from a woman based in South Africa, using the number 01245981867. She claimed to be representing Home Care Services and was quite pushy about it. She insisted that I needed to pay £150 right away for a TV insurance policy, threatening that the price would jump to £357 if I didn’t comply today. To make matters even more concerning, she had all my personal details, yet the debit card information she provided was completely inaccurate. Quite the dodgy situation, I’d say!South AfricaHome Care Services2 yearsI've just ended the call.2 yearsI received a call today, the 18th of January 2024, from a rather unpleasant woman who insisted that I had taken out a policy with their company and that it was time for me to start making payments. I firmly informed her that I had not signed up for anything of the sort. She continued to assert that I had, mentioning that the payment would be processed from a specific card, which I promptly told her wasn’t mine. When she pressed for which card I did use, I couldn't help but think it was absurd to divulge any personal information to her. She then said they would cancel the policy, to which I replied, "Be my guest." However, she went on to mention a cancellation fee of £175.09, and I flatly refused to pay such nonsense. I warned her that if these calls persisted, I'd involve the authorities, and then I hung up.2 yearsI received a call from a woman whose accent was so thick I could barely make out a word she said. After asking her to repeat herself a few times, I ended up hanging up in frustration. I've had my fair share of dodgy calls in the past, especially from those claiming to be from 'Homecare' regarding home insurance. It’s concerning that others have had similar experiences, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just another bunch of fraudsters back at it.2 yearsMy elderly mother was subjected to a rather confrontational and menacing call, with the caller insisting she’d end up in court unless she coughed up for some TV installment nonsense. She stood her ground, firmly letting the caller know that if the intimidation persisted, it would be them facing legal action instead. Quite the audacious exchange!2 yearsI received a call from this number last week that I couldn’t pick up, and just now, I got another one from a closely related number, 01244981868. Quite curious, isn’t it?3 yearsJust noticed I missed a call from a number almost the same, like 01245981868, a few days ago and again today.3 yearsThese lot were trying to get my bank info, saying something about TV insurance, which I dont even have. Total scam!3 yearsHad a rather dodgy phone call today regarding some insurance payment for white goods that I supposedly owed. It felt very much like a scammer trying to reel me in for my banking information. Best to steer clear of this one!3 yearsGot a call saying my TV deal was up for renewal. Thing is, I’ve never had any contract with them at all. Just the standard load of rubbish trying to get info out of me.3 yearsI just ignored this number, didn't pick up the phone. It rang about 28 times or so.3 yearsGot a call again from PHL saying I owe £300 for something from three years back. They said if I pay £79 today it’d all be sorted. It’s the same story as before, one time it was about TV insurance, then it was boiler repair insurance. I’ve blocked three different numbers already but they just keep ringing from new ones. Don’t fall for it, it’s definitely a scam.PHL3 yearsThey didn’t even leave a message, feels like a scam call to me.3 yearsThis morning I've had 3 calls from this number, every time it just goes straight to my answer machine and no one leaves any message. Definitely think it's a scam.3 yearsThey've got their numbers all mixed up - he'll probably end up getting hit with a fine worth a few hundred quid.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying I owed insurance fees on stuff I supposedly bought. Total scam, watch out!3 yearsGot a call that was totally a con.3 yearsMy partner answered the phone but the person on the other end hung up before saying why they were calling.3 yearsGot a call about some white goods insurance payment I apparently owe. I don’t even have that insurance and kept telling them so, but they just kept insisting I had it and needed to pay up. Ended the call telling them to jog on!3 yearsGot a call from this number about insuring our TV, which we've never actually done. The person on the line started talking about taking arrears from a bank account that doesn’t even exist for us. Quite strange really!3 yearsI didn’t pick up and there was no voicemail or anything left.Submit Your Own Report (01245 981867)
