TOTALLY A SCAM!

Picked up the call but said nothing, then they just ended it.

Yesterday, I got a call on my mobile which is signed up with the TPS. The woman said her name was Sara Smith and she claimed to be from Appliance Agency. She had my full name and address and told me there was a contract taken out for a TV breakdown cover starting 14/1/22 for 5 years. Apparently, the first two years were free, but now I owed £398. She said she was calling as a favour because I hadn’t made any claims, so the price was cut down to £199 and said I needed to pay today. I told her I wasn’t paying and then she started getting pretty rude.

I got a phone call about lowering my council tax, but it seems like a scam to me. There’s a charge of £199 on my credit card that I don’t recognise. I want that money refunded immediately. If not, I’ll have to get the police involved. My name’s David Smith and you can reach me on 01202482814. Hope to get this sorted soon.

They've rung me up about 5 times today but never left any message.

Absolutely, I received a call from a woman at a call centre claiming to be from Homecare, insisting that I have an outstanding payment for my washing machine. The thing is, my washing machine is ancient, and I’ve never subscribed to any sort of insurance for my appliances!

Got one of those insurance scam calls today, really aggressive and kept pushing me hard.

Got a call from someone named Robert trying to talk to me about home appliance insurance, which I’ve never even signed up for. I’ve just gone and blocked the number now.

It's the same old story! I tried to have a chat with them about ............., but just like that, they hung up on me. It’s as if they’re just swapping the last couple of numbers around. I’ve got a feeling these calls are coming from Basildon.

Got a call from this number earlier today. They claimed I had an insurance policy with them and asked for my bank info. I told them straight up I don’t have any insurance through them and warned that I'd report them to the police. They just hung up after that. Didn't share any of my details, obviously.

Got a call about my home electrics insurance which was about to expire. The person was quite eager for me to give my debit card details right away, even dangled a little reward if I signed up straight away. Then they went on about some penalties if I didn’t pay on the spot. They seemed willing to hang about while I fetched my card info.
