I signed up for a 3-year insurance deal on my TV with these lot. Then I got a call saying my bank card had run out, and they wanted my new details. I told the person I actually needed to report a problem with my TV, and the number they gave me, 01702 662333, set off alarms for me about a security breach. That’s when it hit me - it was a scam. My advice to anyone is to steer clear of insurance firms you haven’t heard of.

I saw on Trustpilot the other day that lots of folks claiming to be from Utility Cover Ltd have been ringing from an address in Brighton, which looks like a flat. Sounds pretty dodgy to me, and I reckon there might be some illegal stuff going on behind the scenes.

On 17th June, the Financial Conduct Authority came out with a warning saying that Cover Team Direct isn’t regulated or authorised by them. They've also taken down their website by suspending their domain, so it's gone off the internet now. Fair play to the FCA for sorting that out!

My elderly family member got a call from these people saying they already had insurance with them that was about to expire. They even recited the full card number back, which freaked my relative out. Then, they somehow convinced them to confirm the card expiry and the three digits on the back, tricking them even though they repeatedly said they didn’t want to renew without checking details first. They were super pushy and convincing. Ended up scamming almost £200 from my relative. Please warn your loved ones about this. It’s so upsetting! The fraud department has been informed!

So, Oscar Jones rang up my mother-in-law earlier, saying her washing machine warranty had expired with them. Thing is, she's actually got three years left on it with a different firm. He kept pushing her to fork out £100 for a new 5-year deal. He gave her his number to get back in touch, but when she tried calling, the line just cut off and said the number was no longer in service!

These bastards ripped off my nan for 200 quid, and now when we ring back it's just some automated message saying they're unavailable. She's already poorly and getting worse from being stuck in because of covid, and these awful people think it’s fine to steal from her like that. Absolutely vile. I really hope they face the consequences of what they've done.

They rang up my elderly mum, who’s really vulnerable and has early onset Alzheimer’s, and pressured her into buying a policy she didn’t ask for or even want. They kept her talking the whole time until they’d finished the scam. I’ve reported it to Action Fraud and the TPS. Absolutely shocking behaviour from awful people.

This afternoon, my grandma got a call from someone named William Curtis. He told her she had a 5-year insurance plan covering her TV gear, and said she had 3 years left on it, offering to sort her out with some sort of deal. Luckily, I was with her at the time, so I took the call myself and quickly put an end to it. I’m fully aware of the insurances she has and there’s no way she’s got one with this company, let alone a double cover like he claimed. I’ve blocked the number and passed it on to Trading Standards.

A polite gentleman phoned my husband, who is unwell, when I was out at work. He claimed to provide a special offer for insuring our televisions and digital boxes. He already had our names, address, and even the bank we use. They took £198.00 from us. I attempted to call them back on 02038070626 but couldn’t get through. I've now reported it to the fraud department.

Got a call from Cover Team Direct, bloke named Adam North, really polite guy. He said I was two years into a five year policy and needed to sort payment immediately. Didn’t remember signing up for anything like that. Told him the same thing - I never recalled any policy, and they insisted they’d sent all the paperwork originally. He stuck to the same charges too, £66 a year for three years or £145 if I wanted to cancel. In the end, I flagged it with my bank.

My mother-in-law who's 80 got a call from someone claiming to be Cover Team Direct, and honestly they spoke quite nicely. The caller insisted she owed money for some TV insurance and mentioned their manager would ring back in five minutes just to confirm the first caller was polite. Luckily, no money left her account since we cancelled her card straight away. Definitely looks like a scam to me.

Some bloke called Daniel James was on about me owing £300 for some TV insurance or something. He claimed I’d agreed to a contract, but when I asked him to send over any proof, he dodged the question. After a bit, he got quite rude, so I just hung up. He kept blowing my phone for like 5 minutes straight, really pushy and aggressive. Eventually he stopped, thank goodness. These sorts of people are proper trouble. MJB, Ludlow.

He gave me these contact numbers to cancel a policy: 01707 26233, 01702 2662333, and 01702 662333. I reckon it’s worth collecting details and alerting ActionFraud and the ICO. Feels like they’re sharing details of vulnerable folks with other scammers.

I’ve gotten calls like this from Cover Team Direct too, saying I signed up for a 5-year deal a couple of years ago and now I owe them for the rest, about £300 or so. They also mentioned a cancellation fee that was supposedly near £150. I reached out to Action Fraud about it, but after looking into things, they decided not to pursue it any further. I figure it’s because I never actually handed over any cash.

Got a call at my in-laws from some scammers trying to sell them insurance for a TV they don’t even have. They said if they didn’t renew it, there’d be an £89 cancellation fee, and the “cover” would cost £66 a year. When my in-laws asked for the info to be sent through the post, the guy said he needed to check with his manager and then just dropped the call. Definitely not the kind of thing you'd expect from a proper company.

This number belongs to a bloke calling himself Mr Logan who’s been pestering a really elderly lady I look after with power of attorney. He’s saying the same rubbish like here, saying she owes £147 for some extended warranty on a telly. Then he threatens that if she don’t pay up, it will add another ten quid a day. He even got her to hand over her card details, but luckily we managed to freeze everything before anything was nicked. Tried ringing the number back but it just cuts off after about 11 rings. These calls usually come in the evening, which is even more worrying.

My mother in law got a call from these two guys, Scott Phillips and James. They sounded really polite and convincing, but now she’s lost money. The bank couldn’t do much to help her over the phone, so she’s heading down to the branch today to sort it out. They told pretty much the same story as what others have mentioned here. Honestly, avoid them at all costs.

He was going on about me owing £198 for some TV insurance that was supposedly discounted. He kept saying my missus signed up back in 2018, but we've got no memory of anything like that at all. Told him to send something in writing and that we'd check it out before believing a word.

Got a call from some "company" called Coverteam offering TV insurance. They claimed since no claims had been made, the price would drop to £66 yearly or £198 for three years. Thing is, I never signed up for any TV insurance. Asked my missus too, and she hasn’t either. When I looked online, the only Coverteam I found was linked to G.E, which produce massive turbines and generators, nothing to do with insurance. Feels dodgy to me, like a scam. Also, "Secure My Home" use the exact same spiel but for drainage and pipes. Be wary!
