Phone number ☎️ 01273977439 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam operation impersonating well-known insurance providers like Domestic and General and Sky Protect.

4 yearsSomeone called saying they were from Domestic and General and it felt really dodgy. They wanted my credit card info for some so-called 'renewal'. Total con, watch out!4 yearsI’ve been receiving calls from these characters who purport to be representatives of my home appliance insurance. They’re nothing but a ruse trying to get hold of my card information. Whatever you do, steer clear of them! They’ve been relentlessly bothering my elderly mother, who’s 80, for over two weeks now, each time with a new tactic. It’s utterly appalling!5 yearsGot a call from 01273977439, some bloke with an unknown voice. Couldn't tell what he wanted, so I just ended the call.5 yearsI got a call from some bloke called Oliver Thomson claiming to be from Domestic Appliances. He said he was located in Brighton and gave me a website along the lines of ukserviceplan[###]. He told me my insurance on my fridge, cooker, washing machine and TV had run out and tried to get me to renew it. Said the manufacturer’s warranty had finished too. Pretty sure this was a scam, so I’ve reported it to be safe.Oliver ThomsonDomestic AppliancesBrighton5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be "Domestic Appliance," trying to persuade me to renew my home appliance insurance. Funny thing is, I already have my insurance with another provider.5 yearsGot a call from someone named "Adam Kerry" about renewing my white goods insurance, which wasn't right at all. He said it would cost about £600 for three years and asked for my bank or credit card info. I said no thanks and ended the call.Adam Kerry5 yearsGot a call today from 01273977439, someone trying to push a renewal for a home appliance insurance. When I asked for specifics about what was actually covered, they couldn’t provide any clear info and quickly went quiet after I questioned them. They mentioned a policy number that didn’t match any of my current coverage. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.5 yearsThis was so obviously a scam. They had my home address and even knew what appliances I'd registered with Legal & General. They claimed they were combining my policies to cut costs. Then I got handed over to some “manager” who started asking for my bank info. I told them straight where to stick it!5 yearsGot a phone call out the blue from someone trying to sell insurance for household appliances.5 yearsGot a call yesterday from someone called "Amy" claiming this was the number for Domestic insurance. She was trying to sell me a discount deal on insurance for my kitchen appliances. I told her it sounded like a scam and wasn’t interested. I looked up the number she called from and it showed up as 01273655144 on both calls.Amy6 yearsReceived a call from someone purporting to be from Domestic and General Insurance, who claimed my renewal was imminent. I was rather gullible and went along with the conversation. Beware, it’s a total scam! The moment they requested my debit card information and mentioned they’d ring back in a quarter of an hour for an authorisation code, I quickly ended the call. When I dialled the number again, a different voice picked up and claimed they were from "Apex Insurance". Naturally, I panicked and promptly contacted my bank to block my card, just in case. Since that call, they’ve managed to ring me six times within the span of a day. I've had to sever the line altogether, yet they still manage to get through, despite my call blocking feature! I even have a hidden number listing, so it’s beyond me how they accessed my details and contact number. This is quite clearly a scam, and possibly even fraud by deception. I took the step of informing D&G about the misuse of their name. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what further actions I can take.Domestic and General InsuranceApex InsuranceD & G6 yearsReceived a rather aggressive call from what seems to be an insurance business, possibly linked to Domestic & General. They seemed quite keen to peddle a bargain policy for my kitchen equipment. Quite the unsolicited sales pitch!Domestic & General6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my insurance on two of my home appliances needed renewing. They tried to sell me a plan for a year or two years with an extra year thrown in for free. After thinking it over, I told them no thanks. But then they rang me again the next day. Feels dodgy to me, pretty sure it's a scam.6 yearsGot a call from Sky Protect asking me to update my bank info to keep my cover going, but the info they gave me on the phone didn’t match what I have on my account. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Sky Protect6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they had a deal on kitchen stuff. They asked me for the full bank account number, which I didn’t want to give. When I said no, the caller got all pushy and kept saying they needed the info to renew something. I ended the call straight away. They’ve called a couple more times after that, but I’ve now blocked the number.6 yearsSome woman called, said her name was Sara and wanted my info to “renew” my washing machine service. I asked a few questions and she just cut me off - total scam, don’t fall for it!Sara6 yearsThis number has phoned me twice now claiming to be from Sky. They tried to get my bank info but got really rude when I said I wasn’t interested in cancelling any policy. I could hardly get a word in at all, they were so pushy and unhelpful.Sky6 yearsI received a rather pushy phone call from someone attempting to sell kitchen appliance insurance. They were trying to persuade my 88-year-old relative to sign up for a policy that would cost £500 annually, and on top of it all, they were fishing for her bank details! It’s outrageous! When I rang the number back, I spoke with a person who had an Asian or Indian accent. I informed them that this was clearly a cold call and that they were infringing on regulations, as our number is registered with the TPS (Telephone Preference Service). They had the audacity to claim that they were permitted to do so because they had obtained a list from recognised manufacturers. I find that hard to believe-what a load of tosh!TPSTelephone Preference Service6 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from an insurance firm, but they were really forceful and kept pushing for my bank info. They just wouldn’t accept me saying no, ringing me around six times. Without a doubt, it was a con.6 yearsI got a call from them saying they could offer a better deal on my current appliance insurance and wanted me to pay straight away.6 yearsToday, I received a call from what claimed to be an insurance firm wanting to chat about my washing machine's warranty. They insisted they had some information indicating that my existing warranty was nearing its end and offered me an extended policy. I graciously declined and promptly ended the call. Curiosity got the better of me, so I did a bit of digging and discovered that the entire company was a sham. Definitely sounds like a scam to me!6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky Protect, saying my policy was about to be altered. I rang Sky Protect back on their official number and they told me my policy stayed exactly the same. So it turns out that call was definitely a scam.Sky Protect6 yearsThis number called my elderly parents last week about renewing a washing machine warranty, and they’ve been calling again twice today! The second time I picked up, a bloke said it was about the warranty. I told him straight, we don’t even have a washing machine, so stop calling. He kept pushing and then had the cheek to ask why I was shouting at him - I wasn’t shouting! Honestly, if I hadn’t hung up quick, he’d have heard some proper backchat. It’s awful how these people prey on older folks like that.6 yearsI recently had a rather baffling encounter with "Premier Insurance Company" over in Brighton regarding my washing machine. They seemed to mix up a myriad of details, such as my policy number, the date for renewal, the limits on my claims, yet they vehemently insisted I was one of their clients. Quite the puzzling experience, to say the least!Premier Insurance CompanyBrighton6 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from Sky, pushing me to buy a year's worth of cover for the Sky gear all in one go. I just can’t afford that sort of upfront payment. When I asked if I could pay in monthly instalments, they flat out said no, even though I've done that before. They were quite pushy and a bit rude about it. I ended the call but they kept ringing back. The last call was this morning, and the guy on the line was really unpleasant, even swore at me when I refused and said he’d just go ahead regardless. Proper bad experience.SkySubmit Your Own Report (01273 977439)
