Received a call from this number but they hung up without saying a word. Quite odd, really.

I received a call this morning about my TV repair insurance. I hung up quickly. It was definitely a scammer attempting to get my banking details.

A couple of weeks back, I got a call from someone saying I'd signed up for domestic appliance cover with United Utilities like two years ago. They already knew the start of my bank card number and insisted I'd paid £99 on two dates in 2018 and 2019. They wanted the rest of my card details to take the next payment, but I refused. Honestly, I never made any of those payments. Today, the same number, 01268856148, rang me again. The caller was quite pushy this time, saying I had to pay for the remaining three years all at once, then just hung up. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from a bloke claiming to be the manager of "home utilities." They've called before from other numbers, saying my missus supposedly signed up for a TV insurance back in 2018 using her debit card. The guy was pretty pushy and threatening, but honestly, none of it is true. He mentioned they'd be sending us a bill soon.

Got a call about some TV insurance saying they took money from my HSBC account, but I don’t even have an account there. When I tried to explain that, they just kept cutting me off. I said “stop” pretty quick and then ended the call.

Got a call about TV insurance, and they said they had the last four digits of my mum's Halifax card. The thing is, she doesn't even bank with Halifax! Pretty clear scam trying to rip us off. Best thing to do? Just cut the call off straight away.

Got a call about some tv insurance, said they had the last four numbers of my mum’s Halifax card. Thing is, she’s got no Halifax account at all. Pretty clear it’s a scam trying to grab cash. Best thing to do is just put the phone down.

they kept calling over and over even after i said stop. then this person said they just needed my 16 digit card number and that it wasnt about money but about my contract. i asked what contract they were talking about and then she just ended the call on me. really annoying!

Twice this week now, an older gentleman has rang my mum, trying to sell her insurance for her washing machine - something she neither has nor needs. He even tried asking for her bank card info, but luckily she didn’t fall for it. I've passed the number onto BT. Just a heads up to be careful.

Got a call about some TV insurance we definitely dont have. I told the guy straight up and ended the call. Then he rings me right back saying I was being rude. I cut him off again and he tries ringing once more. Honestly, he was proper pushy and not polite at all.
