I like to mess with them for a bit until they get proper annoyed, it's hilarious every time.8 yearsThey say they're selling affordable appliance insurance but it's just a trick to get your bank info and clean you out. The number looks like it's from Great Yarmouth, but guess what? They're likely ringing from abroad. Total scam!Great Yarmouth8 yearsGot a bloke on the phone with a proper Indian accent, rabbiting on about some appliance insurance. Sat through the whole chat just to mess with him a bit. Loved seeing him get all worked up - when they start losing their cool, you know you’re getting under their skin. Honestly, it’s the best part of my day.India8 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke trying to convince me to lower my insurance for a TV I don’t even own. When I said no TV, he asked if I had a fridge instead, so I just played along. Then he put me through to a woman, also Indian, who said they’d cancel my existing direct debit and needed my bank details for a new one. I refused and told her I’d be calling the police. That’s when she started shouting at me - quite funny really! Shortly after, the man came back, said sorry, and tried the same spiel again. Honestly, what a bunch of muppets!8 yearsI've been getting calls like 2 or 3 times daily where I answer and there's just silence on the other end. Then they end the call after a bit. It's pretty annoying.8 yearsSome bloke called me up saying he was able to slash my Sky TV bill.Sky TV8 yearsGot a bloke calling up insisting on some insurance renewal for a telly we chucked out yonks ago, and it was never insured to begin with. Then, to make things worse, he wanted to speak to my mum by name, who’s been in a care home since last year. He couldn’t even get her last name correct, which I pointed out straight away. I told him I wasn’t some doddery pensioner, I knew what I was doing and had no intention of handing over my card details to a con. Sorted. Cheers, mate!8 yearsGot a call saying I needed insurance for my TV repairs, which I never even signed up for.

The bloke was hard to get, kept going on for about 10 minutes promising to slash my insurance cost. Eventually, I told him he’d got the wrong name and postcode, then he just hung up on me.8 yearsThe phone only buzzed a couple times before hanging up, so I figured it was just another cold call.
