Reports on phone number 01268653947
3 yearsThey got really nasty on the phone just because I didn’t want to share my details. Then out of nowhere, they started saying they’d come round to my place to pick up cash or valuables if I refused to do the money transfer over the phone. Proper scary stuff!3 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent asking for my husband but she kept messing up his name. She claimed he owed £300 for a TV he supposedly bought years ago, which is rubbish because we paid for it ages ago. When I challenged her, she got all shirty, so I just hung up. Pretty sure it was a scam.3 yearsGot a call from this number, they were saying my insurance for a TV wasn’t paid. I asked what TV and what’s the policy number? She said it’s a Samsung, but I’ve never even had a Samsung TV. When I pressed her for more details she couldn’t give any and just dropped the call. Was kinda amusing to keep her talking long enough so she couldn’t scam anyone else. Feels like these scammers might have got my info from somewhere like the DVLA or similar.SamsungDVLA3 yearsI keep getting calls from these people, around five times now, saying that my washing machine and boiler policies need renewing. Thing is, I don't even have any policies with them. They're pretty pushy and quite rude, nothing to worry about but don’t let them bully you either. Total scam, watch out!3 yearsThis morning I got a call from folks saying my insurance for TV and satellite was up for renewal. Thing is, I've got a policy with another provider. So, I've just blocked their number now.3 yearsJust got a call again from 01268653947, same Asian woman on the line. She kept saying "I understand" over and over. I challenged her to say my address, which she did without hesitation. Then I asked her how she spelled my first name - she got it right. When I asked for the spelling of my surname, she got all mixed up and said she didn’t know it. I told her she’d actually asked for me using that name, then suddenly the line went dead. Watch out for this one!3 yearsGot a missed call from this number, rang back and was told to hold on. I looked them up, didn’t like what I found, so I blocked the number and hung up.3 yearsIt appears there's a persistent caller attempting to deceive an elderly woman into divulging her financial and banking information, all while pushing a non-existent insurance claim. This individual does not seem to understand the meaning of no, as they keep calling.3 yearsCalled by someone claiming to be from a white goods insurance firm. I supposedly signed up for a policy a few years back and they said I needed to renew for another three years or face a cancellation charge of £79. Foolishly, I ended up paying it. Later, I looked up the number and found out it was a scam! The numbers were 0126853947 and 0126853971. I quickly contacted my bank, and they’ve blocked my card now.3 yearsI got a call from this number saying they were from an insurance firm about a 2 year free policy supposedly linked to a TV I'd had for ages, from when I was abroad. They gave me a wrong debit card number and said my discounted payment of £89.99 was due now. When I wouldn’t give my card info, they threatened to pass me to their finance team for a charge of £349. They also said the call was being recorded, to which I just replied, fine by me. The number is sketchy, unknown and feels pretty harassing to me.3 yearsThose annoying little callers just won't quit, will they? At least I've got a bit of a leg up on them now! With this information, I can easily thwart any pesky scam attempts. Cheers to that!3 yearsWhat an absolute nuisance these pesky telemarketers are! Would they kindly cease their incessant calls, please?3 yearsThey attempted to sell me an extension on my television warranty and requested my payment details. I've now blocked the number!3 yearsI said my husband wasn’t here when she phoned about some insurance stuff. But when I asked what kind of insurance she meant, she just wouldn’t tell me.3 yearsGot a call about renewing my TV insurance and they were pushing a half price deal. The thing is, I don’t actually have any insurance on my TV right now.3 yearsGot a call about a supposed 5 year policy on my heating system from Nov 2020. They said I needed to make a second payment and mentioned some kind of discount if I paid up front. I never took out any policy, and those last four digits on the card? No idea where they came from. Feels like a total scam to me.3 yearsGot a call regarding the last instalment for a TV insurance, but I’m not even covered and the address they gave was totally wrong!3 yearsGot a call saying the extended warranty on my telly was about to expire and that I needed to make a last payment. Thing is, I've never had any cover on my tv at all. He kept insisting there was a policy in place and told me I should pay attention.Submit Your Own Report (01268 653947)
