Beware of the dodgy schemes surrounding appliance insurance renewals!

Sounds like what's been said before. They kept saying I pay through direct debit and that the amount would go down. Bit tricky to lower it when I don’t even have any insurance policy at all.

Got a call from someone saying they were from a Home Appliance Warranty company and that my payments were going to be lowered. They asked for my bank info - total scam! Seriously, don’t pick up or if you do, just end the call straight away. I wasted about 7 mins chatting to them, but honestly don’t bother answering at all.

They seem to call me around the same time each night, roughly at six o'clock.

One of the dumbest scams I’ve run into recently. They told me I’d owe less on some appliance insurance plan, which I’m not even signed up for. They never gave me a proper name, just called me “the man of the house”. Utter nonsense.

Just another bunch of scammers trying their luck as always.

I received a call from this number, but it was rather odd-nothing but silence and then the line dropped after a brief moment. Very peculiar!

This morning I was out when someone rang my landline. I tried ringing the number back but it kept being busy all the time.

Just got that silent ring again, probably some scammer messing about.

I saw the number and figured it was that same person trying to call again, so I just ignored it.

Answered the call but there was nothing but quiet on the other end. I looked up the number since I've got some elderly and unwell family members living in that area and was worried it could be bad news.

Picked up the landline and was met with a bunch of people chatting in the background. I kept saying hello a few times but no one answered, so I ended up hanging up and looked the number up afterwards.

Received a call from an unfamiliar number based in Edinburgh. Picked up, but it seemed like it was coming from a call centre, so I promptly hung up.

Got calls from the same Indian guy twice today. Before he could say a word, I just ended the call. These scam calls from India keep coming no matter how many times I block the numbers. It's so annoying!

The caller was a man with an Indian accent who took a rather long pause-around ten seconds-before uttering anything substantial. When he finally spoke, there was a noticeable stutter in his words. I decided to end the call as I frequently receive these sorts of dubious calls from India, often twice daily, even after blocking numerous numbers.

Some bloke with an Indian accent named Ron rang me up, saying he was from Domestic something - I couldn't quite catch the last word. He claimed my cover on the washing machine and fridge/freezer had run out and offered to sort me out with a new policy for way less. I mentioned I actually have three items insured, but he insisted only two had expired. I then told him I wasn’t daft and suspected he was after my bank info to scam me, and that’s when he just hung up on me.

Wasn’t really expecting a call from Edinburgh, especially one that sounded like it was from some call centre. Got this weird call where a man with an Indian accent said he didn’t get what I was asking! Felt like he was probably chatting to someone else on another line. Bit strange, and definitely another dodgy scam. These calls seem to be popping up all over the place lately!

Got a call from a number I didn’t know, and they didn’t leave a voicemail either. Since I’ve no mates or family up in Scotland, thinking it might be some sort of scam.
