01273655240 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01273655240 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting individuals with calls about non-existent domestic appliance insurance policies. Callers often appear knowledgeable about personal details like name, address, and appliance make, which is concerning for privacy. They pressure recipients to confirm or renew cover, sometimes requesting sensitive financial information. Many calls occur repeatedly, at inconvenient times, and are frequently silent or ended abruptly when challenged. These scams particularly affect vulnerable or elderly people. Despite numerous reports, the calls continue unabated, highlighting a need for telecom industry action and regulatory enforcement to block such spoofed numbers. Victims are advised to report all scam contact attempts to official authorities promptly to help tackle this widespread nuisance effectively.

That seemed pretty risky to me.

Got a call from someone who wouldn’t tell me who they were when I asked, so I just hung up and blocked the number.

Got a call from some 'Domestic Appliances' outfit saying they were in Brighton, trying to renew a direct debit for extended warranties on my kitchen gear. Thing is, I've never taken out any of those policies before. When I questioned the bloke, he stayed calm and claimed there was already a direct debit in place and that he'd just send the paperwork to confirm and carry on with the payment using the bank details they supposedly had. Smelled fishy to me - obvious scam just fishing for my bank info.

Got a call off a bloke with an Indian accent, keepin on about Mrs Murphy, but she’s never been a tenant here, so I just ended the call.

This bloke claimed he was from Kitchen Appliances or something, but he kept messing up my name, which made me think it was a scam. He kept insisting he was there to help, but I just ended the call.

Got a call about renewing insurance for washing machines, so I told them we don’t cover any appliances here. Looks like a typical scam, so I just hung up and blocked the number.

Got a call just now from someone asking for Mr Hill. I asked what address they were calling about, and they said 120 Midfield. When I wanted to know who they were, they just ended the call. Blocked straight away.

I might recognise the number, though it's not saved in my contacts. If it's important, I'm sure they'll ring back. Cheers!

Non stop ringing every 5 minutes, it was driving me insane. I finally picked up and the other end just went quiet then ended the call. Proper annoying!

It’s really concerning how they have all my details like my full name and postcode. I warned the caller that I’d be reporting them to the police, and she just dropped the call. They seriously need to crack down on this sort of thing, especially since it could affect more vulnerable people.

They claimed to be calling from Domestic Appliances.

They rang up about some kind of home appliance insurance, which freaked me out a bit because they already knew my name, where I lived, and even what brand my washing machine was. I quickly told them I didn’t have that washing machine anymore and then hung up. Felt like if I’d stayed on the call any longer they would’ve probably started asking for money. Pretty unsettling how much they knew.

I've no one in the Brighton area that I know of, so this has to be just another fraud attempt.

Got a call from a bloke claiming to be about the insurance on one of my household appliances, said I pay monthly. He seemed to have some details but insisted I had to update my direct debit because the insurance premium was supposedly going down. Then I was transferred to a different number where they asked for my visa card info - which I don't carry. I declined to give it. I mentioned the card number started with a 4, just like all my family’s visa cards - not exactly a byzantine secret. Both numbers turned out to be fake, so I’ve blocked them now. Bit unsettling, really.

They called about renewing some washing machine service I supposedly had. Thing is, I’ve never actually signed up for any contract. Total scam, so I just blocked the number.

Just like some others have said, she had my full name, address and postcode and claimed she was from Domestic Appliance Insurance about my warranty. I told her to send me something in writing and then ended the call. Seems like a total scam to me. I can imagine this being really frightening for older folks or anyone who doesn’t know about sites like this.

Like some of the other folks here, I got a call about my washing machine’s warranty. I asked which brand they were talking about and guess what? They couldn’t even get that right! Bit of a waste of time really.

I got calls from 01273655240, no message left on my answer machine. Then shortly after, 01273655239 rang me too and also didn’t leave any message. Because the numbers are nearly identical and the calls came in so close together, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam.

I got a call from 01273 655240 just now but when I picked up no one spoke, so I ended the call. A few days back they rang about renewing some home appliance insurance which I don’t actually have. Strange!

Got a call claiming my appliance warranty was up, but I don't even have any appliances covered. They just cut off the call. So frustrating! When are the authorities going to step in and put a stop to these annoying calls?

I keep getting these calls from a firm pushing their domestic appliance services. They always kick things off by claiming they’re calling about my current coverage. I tell them straight that I don’t engage with anyone who resorts to dishonesty, and then I hang up.

I had a rather frustrating experience with a chap who was all about flogging insurance for appliances. No matter what I said, he seemed completely deaf to my words. When I informed him that I didn’t even possess the appliances he was on about, he abruptly hung up on me. Quite rude, really!

I received a call from a woman with an accent so thick, I struggled to grasp what she was saying. She began by asking me about the warranty for my washing machine. When I mentioned it's been in service for 15 years, she suddenly changed tack and began inquiring about a fridge freezer that I don’t even own! I was completely bewildered, so I told her I couldn’t follow the conversation and hung up. What a strange experience!

They attempted to persuade me into purchasing an extended warranty for some obscure gadgets.

I received a call from 01273 655240, and they seemed to have my name, address, and obviously my phone number as well. They claimed that the warranty for my washing machine had 'expired yesterday,' but here’s the funny bit - they didn’t even know what brand it was! My washing machine is well within its five-year warranty period, so I ended up hanging up on the chap. Quite the cheek, I must say!

I'm constantly bombarded with calls concerning insurance for my washing machine. The truth is, I don’t even have a policy! A woman with a strong accent attempted to pitch me some insurance, and when I mentioned that my machine is practically brand new (which it isn’t, of course), I politely asked her to cease calling. I ended the conversation there. These calls plague me at least once a week, and it’s absolutely infuriating!

Rang up regarding my washing machine cover. When I requested the brand, they got it all mixed up. I pointed it out, but they didn’t seem to grasp it, so I just ended the call. I've now logged it under BT1572.

I received a call about insurance for home appliances, but I've never taken out such cover with them. They wouldn't disclose their company's name, which leads me to believe that this could be a fraudulent scheme aimed at pushing insurance policies.

A lady with a noticeable accent verified my name and address prior to launching into a rather persuasive talk. She began by inquiring if all my appliances were functioning properly and made sure there were no issues to report. Then, she proceeded to explain the benefits of renewing my cover and asked if I preferred to settle payments monthly or annually. Her reaction was quite astonishing when I expressed my true feelings about her approach and suggested she take a long hike!

They seemed to know my full name and home address, which was a bit unsettling. They went on about how my insurance renewal for my cooker, fridge-freezer, and washing machine was up for some company called Domestic & General. The thing is, I don't even have any policy with them! I promptly told them where to go!

I was attempting to extend my current policy for household appliances, which, truth be told, I tend to repair myself. So, when I inquired with the rather inexperienced chap on the other end about the brand of my fridge freezer - a clever trick since I don’t own one - he reacted rather poorly and abruptly hung up on me. It's concerning because they had all my personal details, indicating that someone must be peddling my information.
6 years
Had one of those dodgy phone calls today! They harped on about discussing some insurance we allegedly held for our home appliances. Just another clichéd scam, if you ask me, and I dread to think how many unsuspecting folks might fall for it and accidentally share their credit card information. It’s infuriating that they had our name and address too - feels like our personal details are just floating about for anyone to grab!

Cheers for the info! After having a read, I've opted against making that return call.
