It is strongly advised not to share personal or financial information, block the number, report to Action Fraud, and warn vulnerable loved ones against engaging with these callers.

Last time we called the bank to stop the payment, they said that UK Appliances was a genuine firm. Still, we told them to prevent any more withdrawals. The bank rep said he’d call me back, but when he did, he was rude, asking why it concerned their daughter. When she explained I had power of attorney, he just hung up. Proper muppet, especially considering my mum’s 91 years old.

Today my mum got another call from some bloke claiming she’d signed up for a repair scheme with UK appliances, insisting she had a policy that needs paying for five years. He was saying she owed £180 and asked if she’d updated her card info because they’d tried to take payment and it didn’t work. Thankfully she told him no, but it’s worrying cos now I’m wondering if he’s still got her banking details somehow.

Caller was really pushy and kept saying we had an insurance policy from 2018, which we don’t recall at all. Plus, we already have coverage with another provider. I just cut the call off because of how rude she was!

They knew some of my info but got the password wrong. Was chatting about insurance for TV gear but couldn’t say what exactly was covered. In the end, they just dropped the call on me. I’ve already notified the TPS.

Received a call this morning regarding appliance insurance. I hung up, but they immediately called me back, so I chose not to pick up. Thankfully, there haven't been any further calls since then. I've had a few similar calls from various numbers before.

A bloke called, said he was from Scottish Power, but his thick accent made it hard to catch what he was saying. When I asked what the call was about, he just said he was making sure I was satisfied with my electricity service. It was pretty anti-social timing, so I just hung up. Definitely going to block that number.

Said my mum had insurance on her telly, but they actually got her stuck with this about three years back, right after she bought a new one. Back then, she honestly thought it was legit and ended up paying for it, which was daft. They keep using all these scary and pushy tricks. I’ve even got her a whistle for when they ring again tomorrow so she can blow it down the phone!

Got a call from a woman who claimed we had some insurance policy started three years back and said she could lower the cost for the past two years. When I told her we weren't interested in paying, she got pretty pushy.

It appears to be a scam asking for cash under the guise of a so-called television insurance policy.

I've been getting calls from this number regarding insurance for an ancient television that hasn't been operational for years. They seem to know an awful lot about it, which is a bit dodgy, if you ask me. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone else who's had similar experiences. I've attempted to call back several times, but there's no mention of any firm’s name.

I've been inundated with calls from this outfit, I've lost count, but we're talking about eight times in just the last week! They even had the audacity to bother my poor 83-year-old mother, who is already unwell and quite anxious due to the ongoing pandemic. Their so-called "concerns" were about her insurance contract for her television, which has been in place since 2018. It's all nonsense, pure and simple! Just a ruse to wrangle her bank details. Disgraceful behaviour, I must say!

An awful woman called me today, attempting to persuade me to pay for a warranty that I've never even heard of. When I called her out as a scam artist, she became incredibly unpleasant and rude.

This was terrible, about an hour ago they rang my elderly dad about his tv insurance, saying it was about to expire and if he paid £60 now he’d save loads. When he said he couldn’t find his bank card, they called him again. Then they started threatening him, saying someone would come round to collect the money. Just so you know, my dad has no tv insurance at all and thankfully he was sharp enough not to fall for it.

So this number rang me up about my washing machine insurance, saying it was about to run out and I could renew it with some big discount. I got curious and asked if other appliances could be included as well, and they said yes for sure. When it came to paying, I decided to mess with them a bit since I knew straight away it was dodgy. I asked if I could pay them a pound each month by posting them postal orders. Predictably enough, the line went dead - I wonder if that was their cue to hang up?

This number belongs to a dodgy outfit that appears to be making calls with the intent of frightening folks into divulging their banking information. They seem to have a knack for obtaining people's bank details and setting up direct debits without consent. I've found myself constantly having to cancel these dodgy debits, only for them to follow up with intimidating calls designed to unsettle you. It’s truly despicable behaviour, and I’m at a loss about how to put an end to it. If anyone has any ideas or advice, I’d love to hear them…

I was looking to swap out my current television insurance, which I’d already settled in advance. The last time I called, it seemed like a bit of a dodgy situation, almost as if it could be a scam.

A complete scumbag rang my missus, spun her a load of rubbish about our TV insurance running out. Thing is, we’ve never even had that sort of cover! She didn’t realise and ended up saying yes to £65, but the tosser actually took £195 off us. Absolute con artist, hope he gets what's coming to him.

Got a call from some bloke claiming I'd signed up for TV insurance and needed to pay up. I've never come across their name before! When I asked him to send me any official paperwork, he threatened I'd hear from his legal department soon. Brilliant! It's awful how these people target folks like us. I wonder how they manage to sleep at night with what they do.

They rung me up like four times yesterday. When I eventually answered, the bloke kept saying I’d signed up for TV insurance a couple of years back. I told him that wasn’t right, but he kept arguing. Then he said he’d pass me on to his manager, so I just ended the call. Got another call from them today, but I just didn’t pick up.

Today, I received a call from this number regarding extended warranties for my aging home appliances. To be honest, I don't see the point in warranties and I prefer to take a chance rather than fork out cash for something I might not need. So, I politely thanked them for their offer and ended the conversation. I later discovered that this could very well be part of a notorious scam that's been going around.

I received a call informing me that I had supposedly signed up for insurance covering my TV and other gadgets a couple of years back. They even mentioned a password that I use regularly! I firmly told them I wasn’t aware of any such insurance policy existing.

What a dreadful experience! I spoke with a chap who insisted I had been covered by television insurance for five years, despite the fact that I’ve only forked out for two. Absolutely vile behaviour! When I informed him that I’d done a quick search on the number and realised it was a complete con, he just wouldn't let up, claiming I was still on the hook for it. I quickly blocked the number using 1572. Honestly, these scammers are the worst! 😡

I had the most dreadful experience with a woman who rang me up, insisting that I had a maintenance policy for my televisions and electrical work. According to her, I had only settled for two years of a five-year agreement and she was adamant about me stumping up £300 within a mere three days, or face legal repercussions. The truth is, I’ve never even signed up for such a policy! This "Lisa" character kept calling me back incessantly-three times in a matter of minutes, no less. It was quite intimidating, to say the least!

I've just had a rather alarming call - the second one, in fact. They were attempting to intimidate me over the phone, insisting that my insurance for my television and related electrical gadgets had expired. They were quite pushy, demanding my credit or debit card information on the spot. I made it very clear that I wasn't about to divulge any personal details without knowing who they were. I advise everyone to stay alert; their aggressive approach reeks of a scam! Stay safe out there!

My sister, who suffers from MS and often has trouble remembering things, keeps getting calls about owing money for a TV. She’s already handed over her bank details three times, not realising it’s a scam. It’s so cruel and unfair. Why on earth do these people get away with it? When you try to call back, there’s never anyone there - it’s not even a proper call centre. Absolutely wicked behaviour.

I received a rather curious phone call from a gentleman using this number, who insisted that I had previously purchased insurance for my television gear, which, he claimed, was expiring and required renewal. To be quite frank, I've never taken out any such policy for my TV equipment and have no interest in doing so. He even rattled off a date and an amount I supposedly paid two years back - quite the fabrication, as I have no recollection of it. Clearly, this is some form of trickery that could easily ensnare someone who might not be as vigilant.

I've come across some concerning behaviour lately; it seems that individuals are targeting senior citizens, probing them about their financial situations. If the elderly don't comply, these individuals go so far as to intimidate them with threats of passing their details on to a third-party debt collection agency. It’s quite distressing to think about how some would take advantage of those who are more vulnerable.

somebody phoned me pretending to be my home appliance insurer. he kept saying that his firm, appliance care, had been looking after my gear for the past year and since i hadn’t put in any claims, they were giving me a discount on the fee. what got me was that he said an old password i’d scrapped two years ago. i sent a letter to my bank to cancel that password ages ago. this bloke is really annoying, rings nearly every day. i got two calls just today. i just let it ring out and ignored it.

I received a call where they attempted to extract my debit card details, claiming it was related to a decline in my TV cover payments. The thing is, I don't even have a TV cover policy! It's utterly ridiculous.

Targeting a vulnerable woman suffering from dementia is utterly disgraceful. They absolutely refused to send any information through the post for proper examination. Their over-the-top manner was off-putting, and it's shocking that they’re permitted to operate in this manner. They even had the audacity to warn us of outrageous cancellation fees if we didn’t provide the security number from the reverse of her bank card. Truly dodgy characters, to say the least.

It’s truly appalling how some individuals exploit vulnerable women suffering from dementia. They outright refused to send any documentation for us to review, which is rather shady, to say the least. Their manner was pompous and disagreeable, and quite frankly, they shouldn’t be permitted to run a business. To make matters worse, they threatened her with outrageous cancellation fees unless we disclosed the security code on the reverse of her bank card. Absolutely despicable behaviour!

Hello there! Just wanted to share a little incident that occurred with someone I know. Earlier today, they received a call in which they were informed about two different amounts supposedly being deducted from their account. Thankfully, they had their debit card details ready and only paid the lower of the two amounts. They even took the precaution of verifying the details, and it turned out their order was successfully processed. Right after, they promptly contacted their bank, who swiftly cancelled the card and ensured a new one would be issued, preventing those callers from pocketing any cash. Additionally, they decided to block that number using the BT 1572 service, as it was a rather distressing experience. It’s truly unfortunate that you’re facing such harassment as well.

I've been inundated with calls from this number claiming to be Carver Utilities. They assert that I hold a contract for insurance on my kitchen appliances, although I’ve never heard of them before and certainly don’t recall signing any such contract. Surprisingly, they have details like my password, yet their knowledge of my appliances is completely off the mark. Despite my confusion, they’re adamant that I’m locked into a five-year contract that requires additional payments over the next three years. They’re threatening that if I refuse to settle now, my contract will terminate, incurring a cancellation fee. I’ve made it clear that I won't engage with them any further, but they’ve taken to being quite rude to my husband. We’ve instructed them to send everything in writing, and attempted to return their calls, but they’ve transformed into a real nuisance. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
