Phone number ☎️ 01544248388 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam targeting individuals, often the elderly, by falsely claiming they owe money for non-existent appliance insurance policies, primarily for washing machines. Callers impersonate a company with various names, demand immediate payments, and use threats of legal action or debt collection to intimidate victims. They often possess some personal details likely sourced from public records, and they refuse to provide legitimate paperwork. The scam includes multiple follow-up calls, rude behaviour, and pressure to share bank details, which victims are strongly advised against. This operation frequently changes phone numbers and employs different caller identities to avoid detection. Users are cautioned to hang up immediately, block the number, and report such calls to authorities.
Reports on phone number 01544248388
5 yearsHonestly, these crooks are pretty clueless. They were hassling me about a policy they claim I took out in 2018, but the business itself didn’t even start until 2020. Like, how could I possibly have an agreement with a firm that wasn’t around back then? The people behind these calls ought to feel embarrassed for trying this nonsense.5 yearsGot a call from National appliance insurance earlier, bit bold if you ask me!National Appliance Insurance5 yearsAbsolute scam artists, got no shame at all!5 yearsi got a call from national appliance insurance saying i owed money for some insurance i never even signed up for. the woman on the phone, samantha, was really nasty and kept pushing me, even threatening to take me to court if i didn’t pay up. i felt pretty scared and ended up paying without checking it properly. looking back, it was a total scam. to anyone reading this, don’t fall for it, they’re completely dishonest and out to trick you.National Appliance InsuranceSamantha5 yearsToday I got a call from someone named "Samantha" claiming to be from National Appliance Cover, ringing from 01544-248211. She said I’ve got a washing machine policy that hasn’t been used for over two years and was pushing a discount on it. Now, I’m just waiting to see if their debt recovery team gets in touch.SamanthaNational Appliance Cover6 yearsThis number rang me up claiming I had insurance with them. I asked which company they were from, and she said National Appliance Care. When I tried to get details about the washing machine I'd supposedly insured, she said I’d only need to give that info if I made a claim and that my payments were late. She kept pushing and said she’d ring back on Wednesday, but I made it clear I wasn’t going to answer any more questions. Blocked the number straight away!National Appliance Care6 yearsSomeone called saying they were from PriceCover Insurance and told me I had coverage for my washing machine. They even mentioned my address, but it all felt very dodgy to me.PriceCover Insurance6 yearsReceived a call from a woman trying to convince me to buy insurance for my ancient washing machine. Definitely felt like a scam to me.6 yearsLoads of different numbers have been ringing me up, claiming I signed up for some kind of appliance insurance. I checked in with my bank, and they looked into it, told me straight it was a scam, so they ended up giving me a new card. Then I got in touch with the police’s action fraud team, and they confirmed it was dodgy too. Weirdly, every call came from a totally different number - one of them was actually from a tyre repair place, which just made it even more confusing!6 yearsGot a call from this number earlier. I usually have call safe on, so I answered when "Richard" rang, but he just ended the call straight away, seemed like he wasn’t ready for me to pick up. It’s crazy how these scammers are trying all sorts of ways to get past the blockers now. Unbelievable!Richard6 yearsI rang up to extend my washing machine repair agreement, and they were rather pushy about it. They even promised a confirmation call in half a minute-talk about speedy service! However, when I tried reaching out to them, it was like trying to get through to a ghost; no answer at all. How amusing!6 yearsSomeone called me pretending to offer a seasonal discount for washing machine insurance, but it was clearly just a scam.6 yearsI’ve got Bt call guardian, and the caller just dropped the line. After reading your comments, I’m pretty sure it was a scam. Cheers to everyone for sharing their experiences.BT6 yearsGot a call from someone named Samantha who claimed it was about my washing machine insurance. She insisted I was already covered but paying for it twice. Since the machine’s well over ten years old and insured elsewhere, I was pretty sure something was off. Then she mentioned an address that isn’t even mine. When I said that was wrong, she argued it must be right! I told her firmly I didn’t live there and ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam. Even though we called the Call Guardian, the number still showed up like a legit call. Watch out for these dodgy calls!SamanthaCall Guardian6 yearsSo I called and this woman actually started laughing at me on the phone! When I said we dont have any machine with them, she threatened I'd get hit with a bill of thousands. Then to top it off, she said "#### you". What a nice way to treat someone!6 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. Some bloke named Ian claimed to be from an insurance firm I’ve never heard of, saying they were following up on a washing machine policy supposedly taken out in 2018. I told him I had no idea about any policy like that, and he said he’d send over some documents then give me another call. I ended the call and went straight to block the number. Pretty obvious scam, sounds like they’re after people’s bank info.Ian6 yearsGot a call from +441834088165 but ignored it since I didn’t recognise the number. After looking it up, turns out it’s a scammer calling.6 yearsAround 12.30 this afternoon, 23/11/20, I got a call from this number about my cooker insurance. They claimed we were 7 months in arrears, which seemed odd since the policy is only 6 months old. They said I owed £180, but when I refused to pay, the woman said she'd forward it to 'admin', where it would somehow balloon to £400. Honestly, that convinced me straight away it was a total scam.6 yearsGot a call claiming I owed a last payment on some kind of insurance for a home appliance. They kept saying they'd take legal steps if I didn’t cough up the money. Definitely felt like a scam to me.6 yearsI got a call about washing machine insurance, and I told the woman I don’t have any policy with them, then just hung up. Not long after, she called me back saying she has some duty to do and that she’ll send me all the paperwork to "prove" I have a policy. Honestly, looking forward to receiving that nonsense.6 yearsgot a call from some woman asking for a name ive never even heard. told her sorry, i think you got the wrong number, this isnt the right address. then she went on about how im trying to dodge my bills or something, sounded proper cheeky. honestly, hope she rings again, might be entertaining.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming we had some kind of insurance on our washing machine for over five years and supposedly hadn’t paid for seven months. I knew right away it was rubbish and just a big con. The bloke even warned he’d take it further if we didn’t cough up. Ridiculous!6 yearsFor the past few days, my grandad’s been getting nonstop calls from some company saying he owes cash for a washing machine insurance he’s never signed up for! He’d never commit to a 5 year contract over the phone, especially at his age, he’s sharp enough for that. The bloke on the line was super pushy, even threatening to jack up payments and take him to court. We told them to send any proof of the policy and the alleged debt through the post. Waiting to see if anything turns up, but this feels less like a simple scam and more like outright harassment!6 yearsThis number keeps calling my elderly mum, but luckily she’s quite sharp about these things. They were asking her stuff about house and buildings insurance, which I usually sort out for her, so she just said no. She made a note of the number though. After reading what others have said here, I told her to not bother with any more calls from this line.HouseBuildings Insurance6 yearsGot a call from 01544248388 for my folks, apparently they phoned them twice. They claimed my parents were really rude and offensive on the phone before, from the first time. Then they started going on about some money that’s been owed since April. They even went as far as threatening to send their legal team after them. Proper dodgy behaviour if you ask me.6 yearsJust got a call from this number saying I had a washing machine insurance that ran till 2023 and wanted £180 to pay right then. Asked them to send the policy details, but they said I had to pay to get those sent because of data protection rules. They were surprisingly convincing though.6 yearsIn just one day I got about 10 to 15 calls, all full of threats about legal stuff and violence. Honestly, some of the worst people you could imagine.6 yearsMy mum, who’s quite old, got a couple of calls from 01544248388. Thankfully, I was around for the second one. They claimed she was owed money because of some warranty on her fridge freezer. I told them she never agreed to anything like that and the woman on the phone was really nasty and kept pushing. Honestly, it was the worst call I’ve ever dealt with.6 yearsGot a call from this dodgy outfit who started getting all in my face. Turns out they’ve been hassling a relative about unpaid court fees and bailiffs, demanding £180 immediately. What a total con!6 years01544 248 388 are absolute scams targeting older folks. Seriously, don't fall for these rude, and frankly clueless scammers. They nearly tricked my parents, but thankfully I stepped in and took over the phone. I’m pretty sure they didn’t expect that. They kept ringing back, probably annoyed they couldn’t get the upper hand.6 yearsGot a call from someone harassing me to cough up £180 for some washing machine contract I’d never heard about. They kept hassling me, saying it was a “legally binding” thing. Kept on threatening legal steps if I didn’t pay on the spot. Really stressful!6 yearsI got a missed call from 01544248388 but didn’t pick up. They’ve rung a couple of times before and since I didn’t know the number I just blocked it. This time I thought I’d let it ring till the end, no voicemail left though the answerphone showed a message had been left. Saw some other reviews and it’s clear it’s a scam. I’ve been tricked by calls like this before, so now I just ignore any unknown numbers - if it really matters, they’ll try again.6 yearsGot a call where the person was super aggressive and kept saying I owed £180 or else I'd face legal action due to some 'contract' I'd apparently signed. Problem is, there's no contract at all. Absolutely ridiculous!6 yearsThere's not a single document or anything real to back their story. That company? Totally made up. They're just low-life scammers trying to get your bank info to steal from you. Please, everyone, make sure to alert the police about these crooks.6 yearsI got a call from these people saying I owed them money to cancel something, but that I could reclaim it once cancelled. They claimed my wife had signed up for a policy, but when I told them she hadn’t, they accused her of hiding things from me. I asked to speak to their manager to complain about that rude comment. Then another person came on the line saying he was the manager, so I told him to take action against the caller for the disrespect towards my wife and that I wanted a written report of what he decides. He said he checked the documents and agreed that my wife was being untruthful.6 yearsHonestly, I just don’t get why anyone would bother ringing them again?6 yearshaha they went and blocked me from ringing them back, but honestly, they can't even pull that off properly. dan walker is such a pain!Dan Walker6 yearsSo, a couple of calls ago they rang me again, this time some woman claiming to be from the "collections team." I had this witty reply ready in my head, but when it came to it, I totally froze and just told her they were all horrible leeches. Needless to say, the number’s blocked now.6 yearsI got a couple of calls from this number about some insurance for my washing machine, which I already have sorted with another provider. They threatened legal action if I didn’t pay up, but I told them to send me an invoice first and that I’d consider it. Still waiting on that invoice, naturally. When I tried ringing back, it said the number wasn't in service. Honestly, if you get a call from this number, just hang up immediately. It’s a total scam. Don’t be fooled by their threats about legal action - it’s just a tactic to scare you into paying for something unnecessary.6 yearsGot a call earlier about some £180 washing machine insurance that doesn’t even exist. The woman on the phone was really pushy. She said she'd ring again tomorrow when I’m around. Honestly, I’m kind of looking forward to it.6 yearsGot a call from a woman named Taylor claiming to be from National Appliance Cover or something like that. She was insisting I'd signed up for a policy two years back, but i told her i was pretty sure that wasn’t right since we’ve already got insurance sorted. Ended the call pretty quick. Afterwards, i checked out this site - thanks for all the feedback, it’s reassuring cos i’ve ended up caught out by these kinds of calls way too often lately!TaylorNational Appliance Cover6 yearsGot a really dodgy call today about some washing machine insurance I supposedly signed up for a couple of years back. They were pushing me to either cough up for the next three years or cough up a fee to cancel it. Then they said I’d given the wrong DOB and that the card details they had were from an old card. When I asked them to prove who they were, I just ended the call. They kept ringing back loads of times though, so I finally left the phone off the hook for ages. Not sure if they’ll bother calling again tomorrow or what.6 yearsWas getting calls non stop about some washing machine insurance. Proper annoying and kept at it. When I called them out, they refused to admit it was a scam (what else would they say?).6 yearsSome bloke called me claiming to be Walker from Dads Army and said he’s got some sort of recording of me sorting insurance for my white goods. I just hope he’s got a recording of what I said back to him, lol.WalkerDad ' s Army6 yearsReally scary and pushy, they kept on hassling me to renew my warranty and even started talking about sorting it out through legal action.6 yearsSomeone else mentioned it before, but honestly Dan Walker really gives off that vibe like he’s munching on something dodgy while attempting to scam folks.Dan Walker6 yearsIf you mention dementia to that Stephen Fletcher, he’ll probably just call you a spastic and then hang up on you lol, real classy behaviour.Stephen Fletcher6 yearsI got a call from someone named Dan Walker who said he was with NAC. He told me I had some sort of white goods insurance and warned about cancellation fees. Felt really threatening and like a total scam. Proper harassment.Dan WalkerNAC6 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Irish accent saying I needed to renew my washing machine insurance. I mentioned I had a 10-year warranty from the manufacturer, but he pressed on and asked for my date of birth. I said no way, and then he claimed it was for data protection and threatened I'd be taken to court if I didn't give it to him. I just told him to go ahead and see me there. Total scam, honestly.6 yearsI got a call from someone called Dan Walker as well, and he spoke like he had a mouth full of marbles. When I turned down the offer, he got really annoyed.Dan Walker6 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Stephen Fletcher, who started banging on about money I supposedly owe and threatened that bailiffs would turn up if I didn’t cough up. Total nonsense. Then yesterday, Dan Walker rings me, having a go. What a pair of muppets!Stephen FletcherDan Walker6 yearsIt was really scary and they just wouldn’t give up, kept ringing non stop!6 yearsI got calls coming from 01544 248388 but they take calls on 01544 248399 instead. That’s the number for that annoying Irish bloke Stephen.IrelandStephen6 yearsSpoke with this bloke called Dan Walker who was having a go, asking for cash and then just started chuckling before I put the phone down. Absolute idiots, total waste of time.Dan Walker6 yearsThis number rang my sister twice today, talking about some washing machine warranty. The bloke was really pushy, and when she ended the call the first time, he called back straight away saying, "Don’t hang up on me!" She asked for details like what the charges were or how much it would cost, but he just wouldn’t say. Also, he spoke with quite a strong Irish accent. Just thought I’d warn everyone to be careful with this one!6 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they were genuine, but then they started hassling me for cash over some policy that’s not even real. When I asked him to confirm the make and model, he just went off saying they'd send bailiffs if I didn’t pay up. Proper horrible experience, honestly hope they get caught and face the consequences!6 yearsThey keep switching their phone numbers all the time so it’s hard to pin them down. I’ve heard some of the names they use are Dan Walker, Stephen Fletcher, and Graham Lee. The police are now on their trail, and I reckon those scumbags won’t get away for much longer.Stephen FletcherDan WalkerGraham Lee6 yearsMy grandma, who’s 83, got a call from this number today. The person on the other end claimed to be called Summer and told her she owed money and needed to pay for a washing machine warranty or something. Pretty sure it was a scam.Summer6 yearsThis morning, I got a ring from 01544248388. A lady named Amanda said my washing machine's breakdown cover was about to end. I told her the machine is still under warranty, and once that finishes, it’ll be included in my existing cover with British Gas Maintenance. I’ve been using their service for years now and honestly, I’m quite pleased with how they look after things. Plus, they offer a 30% discount on a new machine if mine can’t be fixed, which is pretty decent.AmandaBritish Gas Maintenance6 yearsSome bloke rang me saying my washing machine warranty was up. When I wanted to know the brand, he kept insisting on checking my personal info first. I told him to name the brand before anything else. After a while, I told him he was wasting my time and hung up. He rang right back almost immediately but I just left it ringing. Best avoid these sorts of calls.6 yearsSomebody rang me up saying my washing machine warranty was up, but when I asked what brand it was, he kept insisting on checking my personal info first. I told him to just say the brand, no messing around. Eventually I told him he was wasting my time and hung up. He called straight back a moment later but I didn’t even pick up. Best to stay away from calls like this.6 yearsI just got a call from someone saying they’re with National Appliance Insurance, telling me my policy hasn’t been paid for 6 months. I told him I never had any policy with them. He then threatened to send the debt to a collection agency. This morning they rang again and said they have a recorded call where I supposedly agreed to the policy.National Appliance Insurance6 yearsTotal rip-off. Stay well clear.6 yearsThey phoned my wife 3 times within an hour about some washing machine insurance that's supposedly due. We got the machine brand new only a couple of months back and have never signed up for any insurance on it or anything else at home. If anything messes up after a year, we’ll just get a new one. Honestly, these are just scammers and they really ought to be locked up.6 yearsSounds like a classic insurance rip-off for washing machines, just like others have said. They claim you signed up a couple of years ago and now owe money! But what might be happening is a bit sneaky. Picture a commission-based insurance rep from some shady place like "Deceivers Ltd." He sells these policies over the phone for a year, then quits. After he’s gone, a different batch of dodgy callers ring the customers demanding payments. Honestly, I hope this dodgy company lands a massive claim bill from an actual insurer and collapses!6 yearsThis number rang me up claiming it was time to renew a 5-year warranty on my washing machine. They said if I wanted to cancel, it would cost me £60 each year. Since I'd already used 2 years of the 5, I stupidly agreed to pay for the warranty. Now I feel so foolish because not long after, my bank spotted loads of dodgy transactions on my account. I’ve alerted my bank’s fraud department about it all. Please don’t make the same mistake I did - these people are just out to scam honest people. Really hoping they get nabbed soon.6 yearsUnbelievable, they tried to scam an old gentleman and even threw in some legal threats! Absolutely disgraceful!6 yearsGot a call about some appliance insurance payment for my mum who’s almost 90. They were quite rude to me at first, then started sweet-talking my mum. When she asked for some papers in writing and said no to sharing her bank info, they actually threatened to take her to court. Totally not on!6 yearsManaged to dodge another one of those dodgy appliance insurance scams today.6 yearsGot a call from a bloke about some sort of appliance insurance, but when I asked which company he was with, he kinda dodged the question. Then he started talking about a cancellation fee I supposedly owe. Thing is, we don’t even own the appliance he was on about.6 yearsI called this number for an elderly woman and the person on the other end claimed to be working at a call centre with around 30 people. Then he tried to connect me to some guy called Steve. When I asked them to send any proof or papers about the debt - which was supposedly for a washing machine warranty that doesn’t even exist - they got a bit rude. After our chat, they rang the lady again, now saying the debt had shot up to £500 from £180 if it ended up in court. Total dodgy behaviour.Steve6 yearsGot a call out of the blue even though my number’s on the TPS list.TPS6 yearsSo impolite, really caught me off guard.6 yearsSomebody rang up saying it was about appliance insurance. They acted like they had private info about me. Then, they started pushing for immediate payment... really hassling someone with a disability.6 yearsMy 82 year old mum got a call saying she owed for some appliance insurance from ages ago, like two years or something. The caller was super pushy about it. I stepped in and told them to go ahead and sue if they wanted, cos she’s not paying a thing. Total bunch of crooks if you ask me.6 yearsMy elderly mum got called up three times about some insurance for her home appliances. They kept insisting they’d be taking money straight out of her bank, which they definitely can’t do. We’ve since blocked the number to stop the hassle.Submit Your Own Report (01544 248388)
