Recipients repeatedly report rude, evasive, or abusive behaviour when questioned and note suspicious call patterns including hang-ups or silent calls. Many express confidence this is fraudulent, urging recipients not to share personal data or engage. Users recommend blocking and ignoring the number, warning especially vulnerable individuals to remain cautious and verify independently before responding to insurance renewal communications.

Absolute scam alert! This white goods insurance is nothing but a total rip-off. Stay well away, trust me.

Got a robotic message claiming it was from Pro Optimal Guidance or something like that. Never heard of them, so I just ended the call.

A chap called me earlier claiming that we’ve had home contents insurance with them since 2018, suggesting we might have obtained it via a purchase from a shop like John Lewis or Currys. The thing is, we’ve actually been with our current provider long before 2018, so I figured it was a bit of a dubious call. I told him to mail over any details instead!

I got a call about renewing appliance insurance, but when I asked for details like where and when it was originally bought, they claimed it was from John Lewis in 2018! I have never bought anything like that from them, so it’s clearly a scam!

Got a call from a woman claiming to be from Legal & General. She kept asking if I’d made any big claims in the last couple of years, but I didn’t know what she meant at all. Then she started talking about white goods and said I must be paying through my bank. Mentioned something about a renewal and an instant discount if I went along with it. When I asked for more info, she suddenly got quite rude and said I’d just end up paying too much anyway, then just hung up on me. Pretty clear it was a scam!

Can someone tell me who’s calling?

Just got a call from someone claiming to be from British Gas appliance cover. They said if I paid right now, the cover would only cost me £100. When I asked them for my policy number to prove they were legit, they refused saying data protection rules stopped them from sharing it. Told them it’s my info though! Definitely a scam, IMO.

I received a call from a lady purporting to represent an insurance firm, touting an array of policies for almost every conceivable thing you could think of. I found the whole situation rather fishy right from the get-go. As luck would have it, I happened to be on my laptop at the same time, so I quickly searched for the company's name and the phone number she provided. It turned out to be utterly bogus, and the number itself seemed rather dodgy.

I've already blocked this number after getting called for the 9th time, but they just keep ringing me over and over again.

I recently received a phone call from a lady claiming to represent Your Cover, the insurance firm with which I hold a few policies. She suggested we revisit some of my contracts and hinted at the possibility of better deals available. This struck me as rather unusual for an insurance provider, raising my suspicions immediately. My concerns were confirmed when she began requesting personal and sensitive details. I swiftly ended the call and blocked the number, yet I'm left pondering how they managed to discover my status as a customer.

Got a call about renewing my white goods insurance, they wanted me to verify my address. When I tried to check their address, they just hung up on me. At least it was an English accent this time.

Got a call from a firm claiming I had a white goods policy expiring today and asking for my complete bank details to renew. I told them I don't have any policy like that and refused to give any info. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

Someone called me claiming to be from Your Cover, saying my insurance was up for renewal and that I qualified for a discount since I hadn’t claimed last year. Then they asked for my bank card details, which immediately made me suspicious. I told them I didn’t have my card with me and would call back later. They gave me a policy number and a password before I hung up. When I rang the number they said, I ended up at 01788 297909 instead of 01904 917931. Be careful and don’t share any personal info - it’s definitely a scam.

Got a call from some idiots this morning at 11:26. I said nothing when I answered. Hilarious, really. I always look up phone numbers I don't recognise just to mess about if they call back. For some odd reason, they don’t seem to like it when I reply in Spanish or Russian. Bit of a shame, really.

I got a call from some bloke named Colin from Your Cover saying he was offering a cheaper renewal for my electrical product insurance. When I started asking questions, he just ended the call.

This bloke called me up claiming my 2-year warranty on some electrical stuff was about to run out today. Weirdly, he mentioned an old address of mine that I lived at like seven years ago. The minute I told him that wasn’t where I live now, he just hung up on me. Proper dodgy!

Got a call from 01788297909 asking specifically for my wife. They said it was linked to some insurance thing but wouldn't give me any details and kept saying they could only talk to her. I’m certain she’s got no insurance like that, but they just ended the call when I took it.

Got a ring from 01788297909 today. The lady claimed she was from Domestic and General, talking about savings on our appliance insurance because we haven’t made any claims in over two years. We found it a bit fishy and asked her straight up who exactly she was. She insisted she was from our insurance provider, but when we said that wasn’t true, she just hung up on us. Pretty dodgy situation.

He tried to chat about insurance, but we already get ours through another provider with a discount from £159 down to £99. It was pretty amusing, really. I even asked him how I could be sure he was legit, and he just said he has my info. I couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Well, that’s handy!”

They didn't even leave a message, so how am I supposed to figure out who was calling? Feels more like harassment to me.

I got a call from a woman named Siobhan who claimed she worked for General Domestic and said they could slash my insurance costs by 50%. She asked me to provide my credit card details, which made me suspicious even though she knew my name. Definitely a scam, beware!

10:45 on 14th February 2020, I picked up on some kind of office-related female voices followed by complete silence. After glancing through what others have shared regarding this number, I’ve decided to block it and sincerely wish these nuisances would find something productive to do soon.

Like some others mentioned, this is a con about renewing insurance for home electrical appliances. The guy tries to tempt you with a big discount if you renew now. He says he works for 'Your Insurance Service' and calls himself Sam Phillips. He knows what he's doing - speaks nicely, stays composed, and answers any questions you have without rushing. You can hear a call centre buzzing softly in the background. He promises to send you an email with info, but obviously, no email ever arrives.

Just like others mentioned, they kept saying my electrical appliance cover needed renewing. I told them to buzz off. They used to ring my mobile, so I blocked them there - but now they’ve started calling my landline instead!!!

Got a call from them claiming my insurance was up for renewal and offering a discount since I hadn’t claimed before. Thing is, I’ve never even had insurance with that company. I played along a bit and asked them to email me last year’s bill, but they said they’d only do that if I paid this year’s fees first. So I just hung up. I bet some folks might actually fall for that nonsense though.
6 years
Definitely a scam. They claim they're going to extend your insurance for all the electrical goods you supposedly have from them for the last couple of years. Total nonsense! I work in electrical engineering and handle all repairs for our stuff myself. Just ignore the call and absolutely never share your bank or card info with them. Make sure you tell your elderly relatives too, as they might be more trusting and fall for it.

For the past few weeks, this bloke/company has been ringing my mum non-stop, and every time, as soon as she says hi, they just cut the call off. Earlier today, he actually started blabbering about appliance insurance, but then I could hear him chatting to someone else in the background, completely ignoring my mum who was shouting to be heard. And then, surprise surprise, he hung up again. Honestly, steer clear and don’t waste your time talking to them!

This number, 01788297909, keeps ringing me like two or three times every week. If you pick up, they’re real pushy, and even if you tell them not to call again, they just carry on ringing anyway! Best thing to do is just ignore it and jot the number down. It's one of those dodgy appliance ‘insurance’ scams - watch out for it!

I got a call from someone claiming to be with an appliance insurance firm. When I asked for more details, the guy who said he was a manager suddenly got quite pushy and a bit threatening. From what he told me, it sounded like he was just rattling off names of typical companies you'd find in a shopping centre or on the high street. When I tried to get extra info, he said he had loads of other calls to handle and hung up pretty sharpish. Oddly, the caller did mention a name I use only for my PayPal account, so maybe there's some link there.

Got a call earlier, but all I could hear was a bunch of noise like someone was at a busy call centre. They didn't say anything and just hung up without leaving a voicemail.
