Phone number ☎️ 01268851382 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam targeting mainly elderly individuals, falsely claiming to offer or renew TV and utilities insurance. Callers often impersonate managers, press for bank or card details, and use misleading information such as outdated payments or random passwords to gain trust. Victims are pressured with threats of bills or cancellations fees, despite having no such policies. The callers are frequently rude, unwilling to provide written confirmation, and continue to harass when challenged. They use local UK numbers but are best avoided and blocked. This scam aims to exploit vulnerable people and their finances, so caution and refusal of any unsolicited insurance demands over the phone is strongly advised.

6 yearsI got loads of calls today from someone claiming to be Total Utilities, a utilities insurance firm or sumthin'. They kept saying they covered my mum's appliances, but that’s not true at all. My mum's elderly, so it's pretty annoying how pushy they've been, ringing like 8 times!Total Utilities6 yearsall my bills added up6 yearsCompletely a rip-off, honest.6 yearsAbsolutely a scam! They called claiming I had some sort of TV insurance but it was just a ploy to steal my bank info. Don't fall for it, just block the number!6 yearsThis number 01268851382 rang me around 3 in the afternoon. The bloke mentioned two names, one of which I think was Taylor. He claimed I owed some money for TV insurance, supposedly dating back to 2018. He never said the exact amount owed, just warned it would go up if I didn’t pay. I’m still not sure what the original cost actually was. He did throw out a figure he said was linked to my credit card?Taylor6 yearsI kept telling them I never signed up for any TV insurance, but the guy got really annoyed and started accusing me of calling him a liar, saying he’s a manager and knows what he’s talking about. I made it clear I wasn’t handing over any money, then he said the full bill would come by post and just hung up on me.6 yearsMy elderly mum just got a call from some lot called "Total Utilities," hassling her about paying for warranties on appliances. This idiot claimed she’s been paying about £19 a year for some kind of service, and even mentioned a password she once gave to a call-blocking company. Then they went on about her supposedly using a card from a bank she’s never even heard of to make payments. THESE SCAMMERS ARE UTTERLY DANGEROUS!!! Don’t pick up if they ring, block the number straight away!! They’re just after your hard-earned cash - especially if you’re a pensioner like my mum!!!6 yearsGot a call from someone named Luis Brown at "Total Utilities" using the number 01268851382. He claimed I had an insurance policy on a TV that was up for renewal - apparently taken out a couple of years ago. What's worrying is that he already knew my credit card info and just asked for the last three digits on the back to process the "renewal". Watch out for this one!Total UtilitiesLuis Brown6 yearsSome bloke called pretending to be from an insurance firm, trying to con my elderly mum. Absolutely disgraceful.6 yearsAbout ten minutes back I got a call claiming my husband had agreed to a 5 year insurance for our television, even though we were just two years in. The caller said as a favour, they’d cut down the payments. I told them we actually have a Sky cover, cheers. Then they mentioned sending a cancellation invoice for a service we never even had. I called it out as a scam and they said they’d pass the info to another person. Ended the call and blocked them straight away. Don’t fall for this, they’re proper slick and convincing.Sky6 yearsOn 16/7/20 about 8.58pm, a bloke called me claiming I owed money for water rates and said they'd bill me in 3-5 days. I told him he was a scammer and ended the call. Then he rang straight back, spoke all rudely saying I'd get charged more for hanging up on him, so I just hung up again.6 yearsI got a call to my Fareham, Hampshire number from someone claiming they had opened an insurance plan for my TV through my bank account. When I told them I didn’t have any such account, the caller got really pushy, demanding how they could know which bank I used. I ended up hanging up and said I’d be reporting them to my bank.FarehamHampshire6 yearsGot a call about renewing my TV and equipment cover. Told them I wasn’t interested and didn't want it. Then they hit me with a £140 cancellation fee! But 'good news', coz I’m a pensioner, it would only be £84.99. Got fed up and just hung up. Total scam, just a bunch of tricksters!6 yearsI got a call about TV insurance, which I dont even have. The person sounded pretty pushy and was asking for my new card info, but they already had all my old card details. I ended the call, but they rang me again straight after. Honestly, I'd avoid answering if I were you.6 yearsI’ve been getting calls about my elderly mum who’s got dementia, telling me she needs to have her card ready to cover some insurance for her TV. Complete con, just trying to rip us off.6 yearsI got a call from some bloke saying my TV insurance payment was overdue. I told him I wasn’t signed up with them, but he kept going on like I was. When I asked him when they last took money, he got all snappy and rude. I hung up on him and then he had the nerve to call me back three more times! Every time he rang, I just ended the call straight away.6 yearsGot a call from a dodgy number claiming they needed my dad’s bank info for a TV insurance refund. He’s older, so wasn’t sure at first, but we didn’t give anything. Tried calling back and the number’s blocked now. Feels like a scam.6 yearsGot a call from 01268 851382 saying my TV insurance needed paying £140. I told them I don’t have any insurance with them but they just kept going saying it was the wrong phone to ring. I told him to call back later but then he started saying he’d take the money from my credit card anyway... so I ended the call. Watch out, this sounds like a dodgy scam!6 yearsSomeone called saying they were lowering my debit card insurance, but I don’t even have debit card insurance at all.6 yearsAt first, they call about renewing your TV insurance, but then they push really hard to get your bank info. They’re super rude and come across as quite aggressive and annoying.6 yearsI got a call from a company saying they were lowering my insurance premium for my TV and sound system since I hadn’t made any claims in 5 years. They then asked for my bank details. When I requested they send me the info by post, they just went and hung up on me. Quite dodgy if you ask me.6 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, so I just went ahead and blocked it.Submit Your Own Report (01268 851382)
