Several reports highlight concerns over potential scams aimed at obtaining personal or banking details. Many users strongly advise against engaging with the number, recommending blocking it and warning vulnerable individuals. Official insurers and legitimate companies have been confirmed as not linked to these calls. Caution is advised to avoid falling victim to these suspicious approaches.
Reports on phone number 01252206197
5 yearsGot a call saying my washing machine insurance was up for renewal with a lower price. I told them I’d already cancelled it. I did have cover for my kitchen stuff but stopped it ages ago since I never needed to claim. I'd rather just replace things if they break than keep paying for insurance that’s useless to me. Definitely sounded like a dodgy scam call!5 yearsThis number rang me earlier, and when I asked who it was, they said something about Total Cover and washing machine insurance. I told them my machine was already insured with a different firm, but they insisted they were calling to give me a better deal. I wasn’t having any of it and told them 'No way' before hanging up. Sounds like just another dodgy appliance insurance scam. Definitely blocking it.Total Cover5 yearsSomeone called me claiming they could reduce my washing machine insurance costs.5 yearsI've had washing machine insurance for around two and a half years now, and when it came time to renew, I felt it was nothing short of a con.5 yearsLooks like one of those dodgy appliance warranty scams to me.5 yearsGot a ring from this outfit saying since I haven’t made any claims in the past year, I’d qualify for some “low risk” cover that’d save me money - funny enough I don’t actually pay anything now. They offered to cut out my insurance company and deal straight with them. Bit dodgy if you ask me, just like others have mentioned, trying to get you to sign up for rubbish policies you don’t want or need. I told them I was all good as I am, and the woman said fine but if I wanted to keep paying more then fair enough, good luck with that.5 yearsGot a load of calls from some dodgy telemarketers ignoring the rules about the telephone preference service. They try and trick people, especially those who might be easy targets, into buying useless insurance for stuff they hardly have. Definitely worth blocking these numbers on the phones of any relatives or mates who might be vulnerable.5 yearsLooking through other comments, seems like ignoring these calls is the best move, so I’m sticking with it. No point in even picking up.5 yearsThis number has rung me up quite a few times asking for someone who has never actually lived here. Totally confusing!5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from some washing machine insurance company, asking me for my bank info. Sounded dodgy to me, so I didn’t give anything out. Definitely a scam try.5 yearsI got a call from this number, and it was one of those dodgy home appliance scams. I told the woman on the phone that I'd be reporting them for scamming. Luckily, BT has blocked the number for me now, so I won't have to deal with them again.BT5 yearsGot a call from this number today, 8th March, just after 10am. The person said they were ringing about an appliance cover policy from DG (Domestic & General - who really do provide appliance maintenance). They claimed my current policy was about to expire and tried to sell me a cheaper renewal. Thing is, I don’t have any such policy with them. When I said so, they kept insisting I did and told me to double-check, then abruptly hung up.DGDomestic & General5 yearsGot a call from 01252 206197 around 1.10pm, a woman said my washing machine cover was about to run out. She even mentioned the address the policy was meant to be linked to. When I told her I don’t have any insurance on my washing machine since it’s second hand, she just cut the call. Pretty clear scam to try and get my bank info.5 yearsHad a call this morning around 9.45 from a woman saying something about insurance for our appliances. She claimed we already had a policy with them (which isn’t true) and tried to push a £10 a month cover just for our washing machine. When my husband questioned her, she just hung up straightaway. Definitely sounds like a scam - watch out for this one.5 yearsI got a call from some firm called TTS Engineering, but I couldn't find anything about them online. They were pushing a deal for two years of cover at a price lower than what I pay now. What made it a bit convincing was that they already had my name and address. They claimed to be working with your existing insurance provider and said they were called by them. I rang my insurer to double check and they denied any contact with these people. Definitely don't hand over your bank info to them!TTS Engineering5 yearsTotal scam this one, caller claimed I already had a breakdown cover for household gadgets. Got really miffed when I asked who they were working for. Been getting calls like this heaps lately but all from different numbers, I've blocked like 4 so far!5 yearsI’m pretty sure this is a scam. The person on the phone claimed I already had a breakdown cover for my household gadgets and got a bit miffed when I asked which company they were with. They’ve rung a few times doing the same trick but always use different phone numbers. This call was the fourth one I’ve actually blocked so far.5 yearsTotal idiot, this woman just hung up as soon as I mentioned my hubby wasn’t around.5 yearsSomeone called saying they were from a washing machine insurance company trying to renew our policy, but we don't even have one.5 yearsThis number keeps calling me and I'm proper fed up with it. Can you lot just quit it, you scammers?5 yearsAt 11.44 in the morning, this number rang our home phone while we were out. When we got back later, there wasn’t any voicemail or message left for us.Submit Your Own Report (01252 206197)
