Reports on phone number 01268653768
3 yearsDidn’t get a voicemail or anything, and judging by the reviews it’s obviously some sort of scam.3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Home Care Services, saying it was about a TV insurance policy we supposedly had from a couple of years ago. They mentioned it was free for the first two years but required direct debit payments in the third. When they asked for a "security question," which was the brand of our TV, I gave them a wrong answer on purpose but still got through, which made me feel a bit dodgy about the whole thing.Home Care Services3 yearsGot a call about 10 minutes ago from someone claiming I was overdue on my TV insurance. I told them I don’t have any TV insurance and hung up. Then they rang right back, threatening to take money from my bank. When I asked which bank that would be, the guy refused to say. I pressed for the account number and the last four digits, which he did give, but obviously not mine. I told him straight he was a scammer, ended the call and blocked the number.3 yearsI got a call about some insurance for my washing machine, which sounded odd. When I asked for more info, the guy got pretty pushy, insisting on my card details. I told him if I was already paying monthly like he claimed, then surely they’d have that info already. He then threatened to cancel my “policy” - except there’s no policy at all! Said it would cost me £139, so asked again for my card. I told him to just send me a bill, then he just hung up. Watch out, they ring from loads of similar numbers. Just a couple of weeks ago it was about my TV!3 yearsFor weeks now, I've been getting loads of calls from Basildon area codes. When Call Guardian lets them say who they are, it's usually a woman who just gives her first name. Oddly, the moment I divert the call to voicemail, they just hang up. Feels like a scam to me.BasildonCall Guardian3 yearsSome bloke with a real nasty tone called and wanted to speak to me, but it was my missus who picked up the home phone. When she asked who he was, he just cut off straight away. Just another scammer having a go, hoping to trick trusting folks. It’s mad how these scumbags keep bothering people every day trying to steal their cash. Why isn’t anything done to stop them?3 yearsThis number rang me earlier today pretending to be "Homecare Insurance," telling me I owed money for some TV premium because the free trial was over. Funny enough, I got another call from these people yesterday but that time it was from 01245 801 229 and they were running the same trick. Totally dodgy!Homecare3 yearsI just got a call from the number 01268653768, and I've got a strong feeling it might be a scam. Definitely not a reputable source, if you ask me!3 yearsI got a call about some homecare insurance they said was on TV, but my free trial had ended. They offered me a reduced price to cancel the contract, or else I’d have to pay the full amount for three years of coverage. I told them I didn’t have any policy like that, and then the caller got quite rude, claiming the money would be taken out automatically. When I asked exactly how that would happen, she just ended the call on me.3 yearsGot a really dodgy ring from some woman abroad who kept demanding to talk to the name on the phone book. She was super insistent and wouldn’t accept it when I told her that person wasn’t around - totally impossible for her to talk to them. Proper rude about it as well.3 yearsGot a call about 10 minutes back from someone claiming I was late on my TV insurance payments. I told them I didn’t even have TV insurance and hung up. Then they rang me right away again saying they’d be withdrawing money from my bank. I asked which bank, but they refused to say. I pressed for the account number and the last 4 digits, and they gave me a number, but it wasn’t mine at all. I just cut the call and blocked the number straight away.3 yearsNearly fell for this dodgy scam myself. Lucky I used a credit card, cause my bank flagged it straight away and I got to stop the payment. Otherwise, I’d have lost £149 for sure. Those lot kept ringing me non stop since the payment hadn’t gone through.3 yearsThey just wouldnt stop bothering me, really getting on my nerves!3 yearsThey called me up saying there’s a payment overdue on my washing machine and they’re going to take the money soon. Yeah, sure thing! I actually bought that washer out ages ago, like 10 years back. Total scam trying to get your bank info, watch out!3 yearsI received a request to renew a warranty, but unfortunately, they were unable to provide me with any specifics regarding what the coverage entailed or which company had originally issued the warranty. Quite frustrating, to say the least!3 yearsGot a call this morning about 10 but couldn’t pick up. When I checked the voicemail, it was just a bunch of noisy chatter like from one of those call centres, then it hung up. Probably just some spam since I don’t know anyone from Basildon.BasildonSubmit Your Own Report (01268 653768)
