I received a rather convincing call from a chap claiming to represent Domestic & General regarding my home appliance insurance. However, something felt off about it; he seemed to be fishing for banking details beneath the surface. I reckon it was a dodgy ploy.

Got a call from someone pushing "appliance insurance", sounded like a scam to me. I told him my stuff was all breaking down and making weird sounds, but he just kept going and asked for more info. So, I decided to give him an example and actually blew a whistle right into the phone. That seemed to shut him up pretty quick!

Looks like a scam pretending to be Domestic and General. Be careful, it’s definitely not legit!

Got a call from someone speaking with a South African accent trying to sell me a deal - 3 years for the cost of 2 and a 40% discount. He seemed to know way too much info like our names, address, and even about our joint bank account! I reckon this info leak might've come from some kind of data breach at our insurance company. Strange and a bit worrying, honestly.

Sounded proper South African, like really believable. Looks like they've managed to get into Domestic & General's system.

The ICO really ought to step in and crack down on these hardcore spammers.

I got a call saying they were from home care then switched to domestic insurance, bit confusing. When my partner said he’d just heard from British Gas, I rang them up and they said it wasn’t them and it was likely a scam. The caller got quite annoyed when I asked questions and told me to ring British Gas if I doubted them. Watch out for calls like this!

some woman rang up sayin she’s from domestic & general saying my appliance policy needed renewing. problem is, i don’t even have one! she then started saying my address but it was totally old, like 14 years ago. then she just brushed it off sayin it was ok even if the address was wrong as long as my stuff was still workin fine! ridiculous!

It was a number I didn’t recognise, so I just blocked it straight away.

This number showed up in my missed calls, but I'm not sure who it is, so I’m not keen on ringing back.

Got a call on my home phone from an unfamiliar Brighton number. When my answering machine started, they just hung up straight away! I don’t reckon I know anyone from that area, so I've saved the number just in case they try again. Honestly, I’m not bothering picking up calls from numbers I don’t recognise anymore!

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise on my home phone, but they just hung up as soon as the answerphone kicked in. The call seemed to come from Brighton or somewhere near there, but I don't know anyone in that area who'd ring me. I've jotted the number down just in case they try again. I’m done wasting time picking up calls from strangers!

Scam alert! They somehow knew my full name and where I live, then tried to trick me into paying for this bogus insurance for household devices. Total rip-off.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with "Domestic Appliances," saying my warranty was up for renewal. I don’t even own any stuff with warranties, so it’s obviously a scam. What creeped me out was they already had my name and address.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from Homeserve, but I was pretty sure it was dodgy. They even knew my name and where I live! They were pushing some fake insurance deal for my cooker, fridge, and freezer, asking for almost £500. Felt like a total scam to me.

Got a quiet ring, felt like maybe a spam call.

For a couple of days, I kept getting calls from numbers that looked almost the same. The caller said I’d had appliance insurance with them for three years and that it was time to renew. They were pushing a deal for three years’ cover at the cost of two, £395. Oddly, they even mentioned my bank name and tried to prove they were legit by giving the first digit of the bank’s sort code. When I asked them to provide my existing policy number, they only offered a new policy number supposedly starting that day, saying they didn’t have details of the current one. They just wouldn’t accept that I wasn’t interested.

Got a call saying they were from Domestic Appliances saying my policy was ending soon. I do have insurance, but it’s with Domestic and General, not Domestic Appliances. It’s shocking how many might be tricked into signing up, thinking it’s really D&G. This was actually the second call I got today - the other was from Sky Maintenance, doing the same sort of spiel. I cover my Sky gear but through Sky Protect, not these imposters. You really gotta stay sharp with these calls!
