Phone number ☎️ 01617682557 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call linked to scams involving fake home appliance insurance policies. Callers often claim to represent reputable companies, pressuring recipients to provide personal and financial information under the guise of renewing or offering discounts on appliance cover that does not exist. They demonstrate knowledge of addresses and sometimes names, heightening the concern. Many recipients confirm they have no such policies and reject these demands. The callers frequently hang up if challenged or refused and rarely leave messages, instead making multiple calls daily. It's strongly advised not to engage, share any details, or return the call. Blocking the number and reporting suspicious activity to relevant authorities is recommended to avoid falling victim to these deceptive tactics.

23 daysFirst they tried to get me to put money into some dodgy investment, then they called back asking about renewing some insurance. Total scam!2 yearsGot a call the other day from someone trying to switch my mobile network without even asking me properly. I told them I wasn’t interested and to stop calling, but they kept ringing back. Really annoying how pushy these sales people get when you’ve never said yes to anything! Wish they’d just leave me alone.3 yearsThey keep calling non-stop, total scammers!3 yearsGot a call from a polite bloke with a proper English accent saying he was from Homecare, trying to get me to renew my appliance insurance. I told him I didn’t have any such cover, but he kept pushing. He claimed their main office was in Portsmouth. I asked him to send me the info in the post, but he said that wasn’t possible. I mentioned I suspected it might be a scam, and he said he understood and offered to call back later. I told him no thanks and ended the call.HomecarePortsmouth3 yearsThey just rang me up, claiming to have my details, including an old credit card number and my address. Tried to get me to give them a new card number, but no way am I falling for that scam.3 yearsGot a call from someone trying to get me to renew some sort of appliance insurance we don’t even have. I just told her we weren’t interested and wished her a nice day.3 yearsThey keep ringing me from this number but never say anything, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked it.3 yearsToday (12/11/23) I got a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent. She somehow knew my name and address, then told me my home appliance insurance was about to run out in three days. She insisted I give her all my details right away to sort out the renewal. When I asked if she could send it in writing, she said it had to be done immediately, otherwise the policy would lapse and I'd end up paying loads if anything broke. I just told her to cancel it then, no problem - I don’t actually have any appliance insurance to renew anyway!3 yearsThis number called me earlier today, insisting I had some kind of appliance insurance with them and that they wanted to give me a refund for not claiming anything. I told the woman there’s no way I ever signed up for that, but she kept insisting I did. I looked through my bank entries for the date she mentioned and found nothing. The call dropped a couple of times and she called back, but after a while she ended the call, saying she'd marked us as not having paid them. We’ve been getting calls like this before, so I reckon it’s probably the same dodgy outfit trying this trick again.3 yearsSomebody rang up saying they were from Homecare, trying to sell me a cheaper insurance premium. The thing is, I don’t even have my home appliances insured through Homecare. They wanted my credit card info, saying they only had the first digit as 4. It was clear to me it was dodgy since they should’ve already had my card details if I’d paid before like they said. Total scam, no doubt about it.Homecare3 yearsI got a call from 01617682557, someone saying they were from Homecare. They tried to get me to renew my insurance with a discount because supposedly I hadn't claimed in a while. I told them I never had that policy before and hadn’t paid anything, so how could they give me a discount? Felt like a total scam to me.3 yearsI got a call from someone saying they're from Homeserve, telling me they wanted to renew my home appliance contracts. They said I could get a loyalty discount but to do that, they needed my bank info. I wasn't about to give those out and said no. They were pretty insistent though, kept pushing and coming up with different reasons to try and get my details.Homeserve3 yearsGot a call earlier trying to scam me. They wanted my bank and card info, claiming they needed it to “update” some service I supposedly already have. Totally rubbish, of course.3 yearsTotal scam alert!!! Avoid these calls at all cost!!3 yearsI've been getting calls from this number 01617682557 couple times a day, it's really annoying so I've decided to block it now.3 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone pretending to be from Homecare, saying I had to renew a plan for appliances that dont even exist at my place. They wanted to talk to my son, but he doesn't handle any bills for the house. Weird thing is, they knew my address! I wouldn't give any info or answer their so-called security questions. They kept pestering me, asking if I really didn't own a washing machine, fridge, freezer and oven. Proper persistent bloke. Eventually, he just said he’d cancel the policy and then abruptly ended the call. Total scam if you ask me.3 yearsGot a dodgy call from someone saying they were from Homecare about some made-up appliances insurance that needed renewing. They wanted to chat to my son, who never handles any of the bills at our place. Weirdly, they knew my address! I didn’t give any info or answer their so-called security questions. The caller kept asking if I had a washing machine, fridge, freezer, and oven. They were quite pushy. Eventually, they said they’d just go ahead and cancel the policy.Homecare3 yearsI received a rather dubious call from someone purporting to be with a homecare company, discussing an insurance policy linked to our household appliances from 2020. To my astonishment, he quoted our address and claimed it was registered in the name of my young son. I was quick to question his motives, as I'm the one who manages our finances and I knew good and well there was no such policy. I called him out for what he really was-a fraudster trying to peddle pointless appliance insurance to unsuspecting individuals, particularly those who might be vulnerable. He was insistent that he needed to speak with my son, but I firmly refused. This fellow then attempted to ask me security questions, but I stood my ground, reiterating that he was merely trying to fish for personal details. He dismissed my concerns and started listing our appliances-mentioning our washing machine, fridge-freezer, and cooker. I replied, "Doesn’t everyone have those?" Eventually, in a huff, he declared they would simply cancel the policy and promptly disconnected the call. I wasted no time and blocked his number immediately.3 yearsTotal rip off mate!3 yearsGot a call from these so called home appliance insurance people claiming to be from homecare about renewing a policy I never took out. Obviously I told them I don't have any policy with them. Then they started pushing for my bank info. When I said no they suddenly tried to tempt me with some kind of discount. Total scam.3 yearsI got a call from some random number, so I just went ahead and blocked it.3 yearsGot some weird texts from a number saying I’m waiting on a call I never even started and telling me to press 1. Total nonsense!3 yearsI've had two calls from this number saying I'm supposedly in a queue and to press 1 to be connected to someone. I never even made a call to be put on hold like that. Definitely worth being cautious about.3 yearsI got a call from this number and some Asian woman answered, but she kept messing up how to say my name. I just told her I don’t do surveys and hung up straight away.3 yearsThis number called me a few times, but never left a voicemail. When I finally picked up, a woman with an accent said she was from Homecare Insurance and wanted to discuss my policy. I quickly told her I don’t have any such insurance and ended the call straight away. It’s obvious this is dodgy, she didn’t even try to get any details from me. Anyway, I’ve blocked the number now.3 yearsLoads of calls from this number but not a single message left. I let it ring and go to voicemail, but it just hangs up on their side. Honestly, best to steer clear.3 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from BH Care, but I looked it up and saw the company actually closed down back in 2020. Total scam.BH Care3 yearsJust had a call from someone saying they were with British Gas, offering appliance cover. Ended up giving them my sort code and account number before realising it was a con. I've told my bank already - definitely steer clear of these scammers!British Gas3 yearsMy dad’s 81 and these calls just wont stop coming through to him!3 yearsI get calls from this number all the time, like multiple times a week. I've got caller ID, so I just ignore it. There's no way I'd ever ring back one of these numbers, no chance.3 yearsWatch out for the number 0161 768 2557 - totally a scam, I wouldn’t answer or ring them back. Just block it straight away, don’t take the risk!3 yearsI received a notification stating that my appliance cover is due for renewal. However, they failed to provide the policy number, which is rather inconvenient. They were asking for a sum of £200, but they also mixed up the information regarding the insured appliance - it’s supposed to be my vacuum cleaner, not what they listed. Quite frustrating, really!3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Homecare, asked for a mate using my first name right but with a different last name. I told them no one by that name lives here. Then they asked if they had the wrong number and I said yeah. But then they kept asking if it was the wrong number like they really wanted me to say yes again. Kinda made me wonder if they're trying to trap you into saying “yes” for some recording or something.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with 'homecare', trying to sell a cheaper insurance deal. Thing is, I've never even had that kind of insurance with them. Total scam.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they’re from Homecare, telling me there’s a policy covering all the white goods in my kitchen because the policyholder is supposedly vulnerable. I don’t have any such policy, so I’m convinced it’s a scam.3 yearsThis number (01617682557) has called me several times. I usually pick up but nobody ever speaks or leaves a message. Definitely some kind of scam. Wish they’d stop trying!3 yearsCalled me seven times in a row without leaving a message. I don’t have a clue who it is, so I decided against answering.3 yearsI noticed a bunch of missed calls but they didn’t bother to leave any voicemail or message.3 yearsI didn’t bother leaving a message on my voicemail, so I just blocked the number.3 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady who kept saying we chatted last week, which was total rubbish. She was on about me being covered by her company since 2021 or something. Ended up telling her to piss off with some very unladylike language.3 yearsGot a call out blue asking about a warranty on the washing machine and mentioned a family member who’s actually passed away? They kept pushing really hard about it all. They even made up a brand name, said it was ‘Hoover’ or something. Honestly, don’t fall for it!Hoover3 yearsThey keep ringing me nearly every day but never leave a voicemail. I think I spoke to them ages ago and they were offering some sort of care package. I told them, why would I need a care package at 27? Then I just ended the call.3 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from Complete Homecare offering some sort of protection plan. I have a feeling it's just a con.3 yearsI got an automated voice telling me they’d ring me again soon. They said it was from a health care service.3 yearsThey just ended the call as soon as it went to our voicemail, didn’t even bother leaving a message.3 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise, no voicemail left or anything.
