Got one of those typical scammy calls from an Indian call centre the other day, chatting away about appliances like they were legit. Pretty sure it was all just a con.

When I picked up the call, all I heard was utter silence.

I received a call from this number claiming to be with UK Care, requesting the last payment of £149.99 for my washing machine insurance. I didn't hesitate to block the number right away!

On 18th March 2024, they rang up my 90-year-old mum again, asking for £300 but telling her if she pays straight away, it’d be just £99. He kept pushing that she'd face more charges if she didn’t pay up. The bloke was really rude and had a snarky tone, yet dodged every single question I threw at him.

Oi, Mr Owen James or James Mr, anyone know who’s calling?

Some bloke rang me up saying I’d not paid for some white goods or something. He knew my name and kept checking if I was the right person. I kept telling him I never signed up for any of that. He wasn’t having it, kept pushing that I had some plan. I just stayed firm, saying no, until he finally hung up. Total scam, no doubt about it.

I've noticed quite a few numbers like this one, with just the final four digits changing. I never pick up and they don’t bother leaving any voicemails either.

Got a call from someone claiming to be UK Care about a final payment of £149.99 for a 5-year contract covering a washing machine, oven, fridge freezer all Hotpoint stuff. Problem is, we already have insurance for our appliances and none of them are Hotpoint brand. The woman had a noticeable foreign accent when she spoke English. She threatened they'd withdraw the money straight from my account if I didn’t pay immediately, otherwise it would jump to £299 for the remaining two years of the contract.

Got a call from someone claiming they were with Home Serve, saying I'd missed my last payment. When I asked for more details, they told me the policy was taken out about two years ago and paid by a different person. I started asking more questions and then they just abruptly ended the call.

Some bloke called, said his name was Owen James and that he worked for Care something or other. I hung up on him, but then he rang back and told me off, saying it was rude to just hang up like that. Then he claimed my TV was insured and that £196 would be taken from my bank tonight. When I asked for more details, he just ended the call.
