01616605462 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01616605462 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam targeting individuals, especially the elderly, by falsely claiming they have active or overdue appliance or TV insurance policies.

Victims report repeated calls, refusal to provide written confirmation, and hostile behaviour when challenged. Many have not taken out such policies and were unaware of any contracts. The calls are frequently linked to attempts at setting up unauthorised direct debits and pressuring for immediate payment. 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.

Got a call earlier today about appliance insurance. I hung up pretty quickly, but then they called me right back, so I just ignored it. Since then, no more buzzes from them. I’ve had similar calls from other numbers too.

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.

They called me claiming it was for some kind of TV insurance and wanted cash, but I reckon it's a total scam. Don't fall for it!

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.

Over the last week, I’ve received about 8 calls from this firm. They bothered my 83 year old mum who’s pretty poorly right now and already wound up over the terrible virus. They kept insisting that her TV insurance contract, which she’s had since 2018, was expiring. It’s all rubbish - just a dodgy attempt to grab her bank info.

I got about four calls from this horrible woman claiming we owed £300 for some TV aerial insurance we've never actually had. It was such a terrible experience.

My mum just got a call saying that my dad, who’s passed away, supposedly had some TV insurance and now they want her to pay up straight away or they’ll send her a letter saying she owes twice the amount!!!

Got a call from some awful woman today trying to sell me an extended warranty that isn’t even real. When I called her out for being a scammer, she just got really nasty.

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?

Today I got a call from a lady who claimed my TV warranty had expired, but I never even had one to start with. As soon as I called her out for trying to scam me, she started getting really rude and shouting.

I keep getting calls from this dodgy outfit claiming I owe money for cancelling some utility contract. They try to scare you into handing over your bank info, then sneakily set up direct debits which I have to keep cancelling. It’s really shady how they operate, and these threatening calls are really unsettling. Can’t seem to find a way to block them for good - if anyone knows how to stop this nonsense, please let me know!

So this bloke called me saying he wanted to switch my TV insurance, which I had already paid for in full. Seemed dodgy to me, like some kind of con. Definitely not buying it again.

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.

We were asked about renewing a maintenance contract, but we never actually had one in the first place.

Got a call from this number earlier about extended warranties for some of my old appliances at home. I’m not really bothered about paying for those, so I politely said thanks but no thanks and ended the call. Afterwards, I learnt that this might actually be a scam that quite a few people have mentioned.

Got a call from someone claiming I’d signed up for insurance on my TV and appliances a couple years back. They even rattled off a password I actually use! I kept telling them I never got any insurance though.

What a nightmare of a bloke. He claimed I’d had TV insurance for five years even though I’ve only ever paid for it for two. Really rude too. I said I’d looked up the number online and knew it was a con, but he just kept on insisting I still owed them money. Ended up blocking the number with 1572. Honestly, these scammers are the worst 😤

Got a really nasty woman on the phone, saying I’d signed up for some TV and wiring insurance I never actually bought. She said I’d only paid for 2 years out of 5 and demanded £300 within 3 days or they’d sue me. I’ve never had that policy! She rang me like 3 times in a row in just a few minutes. Proper intimidating stuff!

Just got another call, this time the bloke was really aggressive about my insurance on the TV and electrical stuff ending. He was pushing hard for my debit or credit card info to pay up immediately. I told him straight up where to go. Proper scammer, no question. Watch out for that threatening tone, it’s dodgy as hell!

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.

This number rang me up and some bloke said I’d got insurance on my telly gear that needed renewing as it had just expired. Thing is, I’ve never had any insurance on my TV at all. He even tried telling me the date and money I supposedly paid a couple of years back - totally made up. Seems like one of those dodgy scams that could easily trick someone who’s not too savvy.

I got called by these lot who were asking an older family member all sorts about their money situation. When they didn’t want to share anything, they started threatening they’d send the info over to some third-party debt collectors. Proper shady behaviour if you ask me.

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.

Took advantage of my mum who has dementia. They wouldn’t send any paperwork in the post for us to check properly. The woman was rude and pushy, really not trustworthy and honestly shouldn’t be in this line of work. They even tried to scare us into giving the security code on the back of her bank card by saying we’d face massive cancellation charges if we didn’t. Absolute cowboys.

They were absolutely horrible, trying to take advantage of an elderly woman with dementia. They wouldn't send any documents through the post so we could check them properly. The person was so rude and pushy, honestly, they shouldn't be in business. They even warned us about crazy cancellation charges if we didn't provide the security code from the back of her bank card. Proper dodgy lot.

Hey, so a mate of mine got this call today and ended up paying the smaller amount they mentioned would be taken from their card. They gave them all the debit card info after asking for confirmation. Thankfully, their order was actually legit. We rang the bank straight away and had the card cancelled, with a new one on the way so these scammers can’t take any more cash. We also blocked the caller’s number using BT 1572. Such a dodgy and horrible call to deal with. Really sorry you’re having to go through this.

This number keeps ringing me up claiming they're from Carver Utilities, saying I’ve got a contract for insurance on my kitchen appliances. I’ve never even heard of them before, nor signed up for anything. Weirdly, they mentioned my password, but completely got the brands of my appliances wrong. They keep going on about a five-year contract and that I owe for the remaining three years. They’re quite pushy, saying if I don’t pay now, the agreement ends and there’s a cancellation fee. I’ve stopped answering, but now they’re getting rude with my husband. We asked them to send everything in writing and even tried calling them back, but they’re becoming more of a hassle than anything else. Has anyone else had to deal with this?
