3 yearsThey're always pushing some kind of discount just to reel you in, but honestly it's just a trick to grab your cash and disappear. Total scam.3 yearsI received a phone call from someone claiming to be from my home electrical insurance provider. They proposed a 5-year plan with a whopping 40% off. However, I can’t shake the feeling that it was a dodgy offer. The guy on the line didn’t give off a very reliable vibe, if you know what I mean.3 yearsHad a similar thing happen to me last year, they started getting all aggressive, so I told them exactly what I thought. Didn’t even pick up when they called again this time.3 yearsI got a call from a lady claiming I owed them money for a contract I supposedly had, said there were 4 months unpaid. When I asked what contract it was she said something about home appliances. I told her she had the wrong person but she didn’t agree and insisted I paid with a Master card I don't even have. After telling her she was mistaken, I just hung up. She actually tried ringing me back three times! I’ve blocked the number now.3 yearsThey were speaking so quickly that I couldn't catch what was being said. I just told them to send it all in writing instead.3 yearsJust had a call from some dodgy lot calling themselves Prestige. They're trying to fool people into thinking they've got insurance or some sort of policy on appliances you don’t even own, claiming you can get a 'discount' if you renew now. It’s really upsetting how they target older folks with these scams. Honestly, if you don’t recognise the number, best not to pick up at all. These scammers are total lowlifes.Prestige3 yearsPhone just rung from this number claiming I could get 40% off. They said I was covered for any plugged-in electrical items, so I mentioned my dodgy fridge. Then they told me that fridge wasn’t included, but I could add kitchen appliances instead. I chuckled, but the woman sounded dead serious. I said I wasn’t interested, and she insisted I couldn’t cancel without paying because I was breaking the contract. She even claimed I paid with a Barclays card - I’ve never even banked there! When I asked for their company details, she just hung up on me.Barclays3 yearsGot a phone call today, they asked if I was the person by my first name, which they shortened - bit odd cos I never use that for official stuff. They said it was about Household Electrical Insurance offering 40% off the last 3 years of a 5-year plan. Claimed we made a payment back in Feb 2021, but I’ve checked my bank and there’s no record of anything like that. They didn’t sound like a typical overseas call centre either. When I questioned them, they said they’d ring back. The use of my casual name for something so official was the biggest alarm bell for me.Household Electrical Insurance3 yearsPrestige calling from 01268 653343 isn't legit at all. They’re just after your card details to take money off you. If you’re not careful and give them info, they could clear out your bank account. Best thing is to just hang up and not respond. The actual Prestige Domestic company is based in Cheadle, Lancashire, not Basildon like they claim.PrestigeCheadleLancashireBasildon3 yearsThis number has rung me a few times but I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise anymore because of all the scams. They haven’t left any voicemail either, so I’ve got no clue who it might be.Submit Your Own Report (01268 653343)
