Reports on phone number 01273762440
7 yearsThey said the warranty on my boiler was finished, but I thought it was meant to last more than a year. When I mentioned that, they just cut the call.7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be 'Home Start' insurance, saying my boiler cover ran out. Let her talk for a bit, then asked how I’d usually pay. She said ‘direct debit’, which was odd cause we don’t have any cover. Played along a bit more, then told her to stop wasting my time and called her a con artist, threw in some colourful words, and she just hung up. Bet they deal with rude people all the time.Home Start7 yearsTerrible individual trying to get info about my bank account. This needs to be put to a stop. Really risky stuff.7 yearsBased on what folks are saying, this definitely doesn't seem legit and you should never share your bank info with random callers. Don't hand over any personal or bank details to strangers on the phone. It's a scam, for sure. Better to report it to the police.7 yearsGot a call from someone with an accent about my washing machine warranty needing renewal. Funny thing is, I don't even have a warranty on it! Total scam, trying to get my bank info. Watch out for these lot!7 yearsgot another one of those scam calls, they just hang up as soon as the answerphone kicks in!7 yearsDisgusting lot trying to get your bank info. Absolute bottom feeders.7 yearsDefinitely a scam.7 yearsDefinitely a con.7 yearsThis has to be a scam, they keep saying I’ve got Sky when I clearly dont. I told them I never signed up but they just keep pushing it. Don’t get why they’re still allowed to ring people like this. When I asked them to stop, they just told me to chill and said something about me being old and gonna die. Proper rude and just scammy behaviour.Sky7 yearsThe call quality was poor and the woman spoke with a really thick accent that was hard to follow. I caught bits about a boiler renewal, but told her I’d ring the company directly and then she just ended the call. Looking into it, it’s clearly a scam.7 yearsGot a call a short while back about my boiler insurance needing to be renewed. Told them I wasn’t interested, total rubbish, and they just disconnected.7 yearsSo annoying. Total scammers. Just hang up.7 yearsThis was one of those annoying scams where they pretend you’re a SKY client to try and steal your bank info. I played along since I do have some Sky channels, just not from Sky directly! Just block and forget about it!Sky7 yearsThey rang me a few times this afternoon.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman about insurance for my washing machine. She had all my info spot on. Then she put me on hold to speak with someone else. An Asian bloke came on saying I couldn’t pay by direct debit anymore as my washing machine was too old. He asked for my card details to sort payments. When I asked why no direct debit, he just hung up straight away. Definitely a scam, watch out!7 yearsThey rang me up three times within an hour but didn't bother to leave a message.7 yearsMay I ask who this is?7 yearsIs anyone there?7 yearsThis bloke “Harry” from Home Start insurance rang me, saying my boiler guarantee was up. When I called him out on being dodgy, he got all hostile! Total scam.HarryHome Start7 yearsHonestly, some folks commenting here should really come down off their high horses and find something better to do with their time. Get a grip, seriously.7 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!7 yearsNah, we dont buy it (and what the heck is a 'biler'). Those green comments down there are clearly from the SCAMMERS. They must reckon we're complete mugs.7 yearsGot a call out of the blue from someone using an ancient phone list, asking for the last tenant. Total scam, clearly up to no good.7 yearsFraudsters for sure.7 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from British Gas, trying to lower my boiler cover payments that were supposedly up for renewal. They even used a name I hadn’t gone by for about 8 years, and I only got the cover around 3 months back. I told the caller it all sounded dodgy, but they just said I could call back later. I told them I’d ring British Gas direct and then ended the call.British Gas7 yearsServe Assist kept ringing, this bloke with a thick European accent - sounded like Oliver Besbelloy or something - told me he had my full name and address, and threatened to break my legs if I dared report him to Ofcom. Proper creepy.Oliver BesbelloyOfcom7 yearsWhat does 'ne3as a zebi' even mean? Seems a bit random to me.7 yearsSomeone rang pretending to be from Sky Protect - I just ended the call when they asked me to stay on hold.Sky Protect7 yearsGot a dodgy call about some Sky protection thing. Told them I had no clue what it was, and they just dropped the call.Sky7 yearsThey've rung a couple of times now, saying our washing machine insurance is about to expire and they'd renew it automatically. When we said we don’t even have insurance with them, they kept insisting we did. Then they tried to tempt us with a discount and asked whether we’d want to renew it for a year or five years. We then asked how much we’re currently paying monthly, and the woman said it’s not a monthly thing, it’s a one-time payment. We ended the call telling them we weren’t interested. Seems a bit dodgy to me. Would avoid.7 yearsCouple calls today, both times no one spoke when I answered.7 yearsI picked up but no one spoke on the other end.7 yearsGot a call saying my British Gas boiler warranty was about to run out in 4 weeks, which is true. I asked the bloke three times who he was but he just mumbled and rushed his words, totally sounded like a scam. So I kept him on for like 5 minutes, moaning about their service and all sorts. Little did he know, my BG Homecare actually starts the day the warranty ends. Once I started winding him up a bit, he got annoyed, and I just told him I’m sorted for 5 years. He hung up straight away - what a right muppet.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian gentleman saying my gas boiler cover was about to run out and there was a special deal. Problem is, I don't even have any cover for my boiler. I kept him talking for a while asking loads of questions, then told him to buzz off and blocked the number.7 yearsI picked up, heard some weird noise then some bloke with an Asian accent just said hello and quickly ended the call. Looks like he’s still figuring things out. Was kind of hoping to mess about a bit, pretending not to understand him :-)7 yearsGot a call from a guy named Zak, he was pushing some Sky protection thing for £300 or more. I just told him to buzz off and ended the call.ZakSky7 yearsI reckon this is a scam related to washing machine covers.7 yearsGot a call offering insurance for my Sky box. I told them the only sky I know is the one you can see outside through the window.SkyFreeview7 yearsThis lady from India rang me up about some Sky package for my TV and box. Then she put me through to a bloke who sounded English, and he tried to get me to pay. He got all puzzled 'cause my credit card supposedly came from France. I told him I'd just made up a fake number using one of those online generators, gave him a cheeky name, and he just hung up on me.Sky7 yearsThis guy, sounded Spanish, rang me up saying my washing machine warranty was up. I asked what brand it was and he said Hotpoint. Thing is, I don’t own a Hotpoint and he just hung up. He had a kinda cheeky, flirty tone. Totally felt like a dodgy scam!7 yearsNo words - just dead quiet.7 yearsA bloke rang me up and somehow knew my last name and where I live, trying to sell insurance for my Sky box in case it got damaged by accident. He said I'd still have to pay Sky’s visit and for new kit. I just told him to shove off and ended the call.Sky7 yearsI never pick up my phone if its someone I dont recognise. They didnt leave any message so after a few calls I just blocked the number.7 yearsI chose not to pick up, but after reading all these comments, I’m puzzled why this number still hasn't been blocked.7 yearsGot a call from this number telling me I was in a car crash. I replied that I’m actually with the local cops and they hung up straight away.7 yearsGot a call today around 1409 (23.8.19) from someone asking about insurance on my sky box which they said was about to run out (I dont even own a sky box). After all the usual fibs and nonsense I kinda went along with renewing it for three years at £199.99, supposedly with a free year thrown in. But when it came to paying, after about 7 minutes I told them straight up that I’d been fibbing too and then they just hung up on me pretty quickly and kinda rudely imo.Sky7 yearsGot a call yesterday looking for someone called Derek, which isn’t me. Then they rang once more today, got my proper name this time, and tried telling me the insurance on my washing machine ran out (it was brand new back in November, so still covered by the warranty obviously). I asked them three times to explain why it had expired, then she just cut off. Really irritating, feels like harassment and probably risky if you end up sharing info with them.Derek7 yearsGot 3 calls in a day, the last one was some automated voicemail trying to sell me cooker cleaning stuff.7 yearsI struggled to make sense of her words since her English was quite poor. Eventually, I pieced together that she was trying to pull that outdated washing machine warranty con. I couldn’t help but chuckle and exclaimed, "Are you attempting to rip me off?" At that point, she hung up without another word.7 yearsI struggled to comprehend what she was saying due to her rather poor English. But eventually, I pieced together that it was the classic washing machine warranty con. I couldn't help but chuckle and asked her, "Are you attempting to pull a fast one on me?" At that, she hung up. - caller: Couldn't catch the name.7 yearsThey ring me like 3 times every day but I never pick up.7 yearsGot two calls in less than 3 hours asking for some Mr Phillips, who I've never heard of. This has to be a mistake with their info, so I’m going to report it to the Data Protection folks and demand they fix it. For now, I’ve just blocked the number.PhillipsData Commissioner7 yearsThey rang me twice today. Missed the first call, so I looked up the number with 1471. Then they called again and asked for a Derek Smith. That’s not who I am, so I just said so and they ended the call quick. Guess pretending to be someone else is their trick!Derek Smith7 yearsNo sound at all like always, just hung up straight away. What muppets.7 years5 Powys Rd, Brighton is a laundromat, but there’s also a couple of doors just to the left that have the number 5 on them as well.Powys RoadBrighton7 yearsGot a call yesterday evening saying my boiler insurance was out of date. I told him I don’t even have boiler insurance and he quickly said he must’ve dialled the wrong number! Definitely a scam, no question!7 yearsGot a call today around 12:28pm from someone asking for a Mr Smith, but they keep ringing me pretty often now and it's really starting to wind me up. I've told them to stop wasting my time and bother someone else for a change.Smith7 yearsSeriously, it’s proper daft to not leave any message at all, innit?7 yearsGot a ring from some muppet in Brighton, but they were too daft to even leave a voicemail.Brighton7 yearsSo this guy calls saying my boiler warranty’s run out, tries to sell me some kind of annual cover that renews itself. Told him to shove it. Not my finest moment, but I’m sick of these dodgy calls.7 yearsAbsolutely spam! We only pick up if we recognise the number, otherwise we just ignore it.7 yearsThey claimed to be from Sky's Protection Scheme. Hung up as soon as I told them I don't use Sky at all.Sky7 yearsIt’s the same number calling me nonstop. I have call blocking set up but somehow they manage to get past it. They keep mentioning a washing machine but couldn’t even say which one. Definitely a scam, but they ring every single day. My phone’s blocked numbers list is completely full now!!!Telephone Preference Service7 yearsSome woman keeps telling me my washing machine warranty ran out. It’s been every day this week and I’m totally fed up with it.7 yearsTotal scam! They rang up about renewing my sky insurance but couldn't even get my first name right for their so-called data protection!!!Sky7 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from Homeplan in Brighton, asking about an old warranty on my washing machine. When I asked if they were aware of GDPR rules, they told me my info would be deleted from their system in just 15 seconds. Yeah, as if that’s true.HomeplanBrighton7 yearsDidn’t bother leaving a message on Call Guardian. Just went ahead and blocked.Call Guardian7 yearsI didnt pick up. No message left either, so probbly didnt wanna talk after all. Ive blocked the number now.7 yearsGot called 3 times within an hour but didnt pick up, just let it go to voicemail and no messages left. Ive blocked the number now.7 yearsJunk calls again! We never pick up if the number isnt familiar.7 yearsGot a call from a number I don’t recognise, no voicemail left - pretty obvious they didn’t want me to find out who it was.7 yearsThey ring me like 6 times every week, I just ignore it always.7 yearsGot another call that’s gotta be a scam, this time from Brighton. The person hung up just as I was about to pick up. I’ve blocked the number now. They seem to be tweaking the last few digits so they can slip past the blocks even after you’ve stopped earlier ones.Brighton7 yearsComplete scammers...7 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian or Pakistani accent, going on about my boiler cover being up for renewal. Trouble is, I don’t even have a boiler, let alone any cover. I let him keep talking for a bit before cutting him off with that little detail. He asked why I let him bother with all the usual spiel before asking for my bank info, and I told him I was just wasting his time like he was wasting mine. Finished off with a not-so-friendly goodbye. Felt a bit bad at first, then remembered how many old or trusting people these scamming muppets try to fleece. Watch out for these lot!7 yearsGot a call from some Indian guy pushing boiler insurance, definitely a scam.7 yearsI called about the warranty on my boiler, and the chap on the other end claimed he collaborated with British Gas. I had to give him a bit of a telling off for being clueless about the specifics of my cover. It seemed the lad, who had a bit of an Asian accent, quickly realised he wasn't quite up to the task and abruptly hung up on me.British Gas7 yearsSCAM ALERT!!!! Got a call saying something about my Sky gear but I don’t even have Sky lmaoAlertSky7 yearsBeware of the dodgy calls claiming to be from British Gas regarding your boiler!British Gas7 yearsI just ended the call as soon as I asked who it was.7 yearsThat number seemed unfamiliar, so I just let it ring out - probably some dodgy telemarketer again.7 yearsGot a couple of calls from someone saying they were from British Gas and even knew my name. The first call was about some boiler service deal, but I don’t have any kind of agreement with them. When I questioned how they had my details, they just ended the call. Then, about 40 minutes later, they rang again claiming to be from the warranty department about my boiler. I asked them to specify which boiler they were talking about, and once again, they just hung up.British Gas7 yearsShe'll be spending her next sunny day in court, and after that, she's likely to find herself doing a stretch inside, serving time for sure!7 yearsDefinitely, Sky's got a problem - there's no sunshine anywhere!Sky7 yearsNo idea and honestly don’t really care... But if you start chatting about cricket, that’s when they light up, lol 😂😅🤣🤪😭7 yearsGot a call out of the blue saying my Sky gear’s cover has run out. They had the right name and address, which caught me off guard. I was nearly about to renew it, but then I remembered I either had Sky ages ago and the kit’s long since vanished, or I’ve not had any for over ten years. So annoying how these calls keep coming - I’ve got all sorts of “expired” cover I’ve never even signed up for, plus BT threatening to cut me off and now the TV licence people seem to be after me too. Still, if you’ve got time to kill, it’s kinda amusing to mess about with them a bit.SkyBT7 yearsNot sure who it was, I just ignored the call cos the number looked unfamiliar.7 yearsThis is the fifth time they’ve rung me about some washing machine warranty running out. I’ve told them plenty of times we’ve got an extended warranty already and asked them to update their records so they’d stop bothering me. At the end of the call she chirpily said “have a lovely day!” I couldn’t help but reply that it was going well until she spoiled it!7 yearsThankfully, I wasn’t home when these kept ringing. Checked this site afterwards and decided to block them straight away.7 yearsGot a call about some kind of warranty deal...I told them I had a password and that the call was being recorded. Then, I warned them to evacuate the building because they’d supposedly set off a missile launch. They ended the call straight away.7 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be SKY, saying I needed to pay for a warranty on some breakdown cover. I said I’m actually Mr Murdoch and have never even been with SKY, and they just ended the call out of nowhere. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.Murdoch7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Sky, wanted to know if I had any Sky gear. As soon as I told them I don’t use Sky, they just dropped the call.Sky7 yearsGot a call from someone named 'Howard' saying it was about renewing a boiler warranty, but we dont have a warranty with them at all. Told them off and have blocked the number now. Complete scam!Howard7 yearsThey kept calling me, saying they were offering car warranties or something like that. I’d already blocked the number before but they just kept trying with the same rubbish. Total waste of time.7 yearsGot a call about some Sky gear, told them straight up I aint got any and my number’s on the TPS list!SkyTPS7 yearsSomeone called asking about washing machines, I said I already have one, told them thanks and hung up. Now I see they've blocked me. Strange!7 yearsThis lady kept saying she was from PPI and asked if I could spare a few mins to answer stuff. I told her no, so she promised to ring back later. I ended up blocking that number, but then they phoned from another Bournemouth number! Honestly, got so many numbers blocked now, probably more than what you'd find in a phone directory.Bournemouth7 yearsGot two calls from this number today. Picked up the second one and a woman was asking if I was having any "Sky problems." When I asked her to explain, she mentioned something about their equipment. I don’t have Sky at all, no gear or anything, so it seemed pretty dodgy to me. Definitely sounds like a scam.Sky7 yearsGot a call from S3 Marketing trying to fish out my info to pass around.
