Reports on phone number 01268856157
6 yearsAbsolute scumbags, the worst kind of people!6 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from a utility insurance firm saying we owed £300, and warned if we didnt pay, it would jump to £500. They were just trying to scare us into giving out our card details.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were collecting payment for a TV maintenance agreement I'd supposedly signed up for, which I never did. The person on the line was quite pushy and refused to give me any details, just kept insisting I had the contract and they had the documents. Be careful, these callers don't give up easily.6 yearsGot a call from this number the other day, some bloke named Lee claiming I’d signed up for TV and audio gear insurance back in 2018. He was on about giving me a discount if I renewed now, but warned if I didn’t fork out, I’d be hit with a £300 charge! I told him to send over the contract details and he promised to do so - still waiting, by the way. Oddly enough, this is the second time I’ve been contacted about this, and guess what? The first caller was called Lee too! Feels like a total scam to me. Best to just hang up and block this number altogether.Lee6 yearsJust like the others here, I got a call saying I'd signed up for a 5-year warranty on my TV and had already paid for two years. Now they were asking for payment for the remaining three years. I told them straight up I NEVER agreed to any extended warranty and wasn’t about to cough up. Then he offered to cancel the whole thing for £81. He insisted I paid by debit card, but I told him I run a business, keep detailed records, and would check my bank statements. After that, he just hung up. He was pretty persuasive though.6 yearsGot a call from a bloke wanting to speak about a relative who'd passed away. I cut the chat short pretty quickly.6 yearsMy mum and dad got a call from these so-called chartered accountants claiming they had insurance since 2018 for some ‘viewing equipment’. They tried pushing us to cough up £300, mentioned the last numbers on a card, and threw out a password ‘Kingsbury’ which was totally wrong. What a scam!6 yearsWatch out, this is definitely a scam! They claimed I already had insurance on three TVs and said if I paid £99 now, I could get a cheaper plan covering those TVs for three years. I asked a few tricky questions, but the person couldn't answer any properly. Just be careful with these calls!6 yearsBack in 2018 I got some insurance through Sky, or so they say, and now these lot claim they've got to get my card details to give me a discount or charge me a £300 fee if I cancel. I just told them my password's incorrect 'cause it's too brief and made it clear I won't be handing over any cash. It’s proper worrying that older folks or anyone not fully with it might fall for this.6 yearsGot a call saying I bought insurance back in 2018 for my washing machine. They rattled off a card number I’ve never used and demanded £85.99 immediately. Apparently, if I don’t pay up, I’d get a letter charging me £185.00, and if I ignore that, it goes to some debt collectors. Complete con artists, absolute rubbish!6 yearsGot a call earlier from someone claiming to be from Total Utilities, saying I’d supposedly bought insurance for a washing machine back in 2018. I knew straight away it was rubbish and told them I wasn’t paying a penny. The guy said he’d look into it but I just ended the call. They were after £84.99, and even gave my name and said it was paid by debit, quoting the last 4 digits of a card. It all felt dodgy to me. Lucky I trusted my gut on this one.Total Utilities6 yearsGot another call today from 01268856157 about insurance for my appliances, that’s the third one now. When I asked them when I made my last payment, the person on the phone got really rude and wound up shouting that they’d take the money I supposedly owed me and then told me to jog on. Proper cheeky behaviour! 🤨6 yearsGot a ring from HSBC, and they kept saying they weren’t trying to sell me anything. Thing is, I don’t even have an HSBC account. Tried calling the number back, but it just said the extension was unavailable and then cut off. Pretty sure it’s a scam.HSBC6 yearsGot a call claiming we signed up for a five year agreement on some product we’ve never even come across. They asked for our bank info too.
