I had a similar experience with these con artists! They rang my grandma, insisting that she owed £180 for her appliance insurance, claiming it was a special rate since she'd never made a claim (which is total nonsense since she’s never had any cover at all). Luckily, the credit card company caught on and flagged it as a scam, so they denied the payment. But the scammers kept calling, trying to bully her into approving the payment. They were incredibly aggressive and wouldn't stop ringing. It's truly concerning how persistent these fraudsters can be!

This doesn’t seem very secure.

I received a rather dubious call from someone who identified himself as Stanley Bright, supposedly representing National Insurance. He mentioned something about lowering my insurance premiums, but unsurprisingly, he then asked for my card information. I expertly prompted him to provide me with his number, assuring him I would ring back. Naturally, I have no intention of doing so!

My dear mother-in-law, who is quite advanced in years, received a rather aggressive call from National Appliance Cover, insisting that she owed them money for a policy they supposedly sold her two years ago. The peculiar thing is, this firm was only established in March 2020! It strikes me as a complete con, taking advantage of vulnerable seniors to siphon off their hard-earned cash. I highly recommend steering clear of this company!

Received a rather troubling call from an outfit claiming to be National Appliance Cover. They insisted that my mother supposedly entered into a five-year agreement for her washing machine—something neither of us can remember ever doing. The caller informed us that because she hadn't cancelled, she was now liable for an immediate payment of £180 or face a court summons. The tone was alarmingly hostile and quite unsettling. In the end, I felt compelled to pay on her behalf, as the thought of her potentially ending up in court was simply too distressing for her. The representative, who identified herself as Taylor, was relentless and exceedingly persuasive. Although I've received some documents in the post, I’m starting to doubt their legitimacy. To top it all off, they've attempted to call my mother again this morning despite being told to contact me directly instead. What a dreadful experience!

Received a rather alarming call from some outfit named National Appliance Cover. They claimed I had some sort of five-year warranty on my washing machine, though I can’t for the life of me remember signing up for it. They went on about how I’d 'breached' the contract by cancelling it, and threatened that if I didn’t fork out £180 straight away, they'd escalate the matter to the magistrates court. The whole conversation felt quite menacing and overly aggressive. Honestly, I'm left wondering if this is a legitimate company or just a scam?

My mother received a rather distressing call from someone named Taylor, who seemed intent on scaring her with threats about extra charges and supposed agreements that were made during a telephone conversation. I’ve gone ahead and flagged this number for further investigation.

I encountered a rather confrontational lady over the phone who was quite verbally abusive, especially towards an individual suffering from dementia.

My elderly mother has been pestered with incessant calls. When I reached out to them, a rather confrontational woman insisted on discussing some sort of appliance maintenance.

Anthony Reid mentioned I was bound by an agreement with him.

I had a rather distressing encounter concerning my 84-year-old friend. A certain Steven Fletcher rang her up, attempting to extort £180 for insurance on a washing machine she doesn't even possess. It was utterly alarming; he was extremely pushy and intimidating, bombarding her with threats about escalating the matter to some legal team if she didn’t comply. It left her quite shaken.

A bloke by the name of Steven rang my aunt, claiming that her washing machine insurance had expired and she was in debt to him. Luckily, her machine's been chugging along for more than a decade without any sort of warranty, so she wisely didn't provide him with her bank information. However, the experience has rattled her quite a bit, as he was very forceful and intimidating in his approach.

A fellow by the name of Steven mentioned that my mother could find herself facing legal action if she fails to settle a bill for something she's never even received.

My elderly grandmother received a call from someone pressuring her for payments on a service she never even agreed to! It really scared her, and it’s absolutely appalling to try and swindle cash from an 85-year-old widow!
