Got a call about some washing machine warranty running out - classic scam move. Funny thing is, I bought mine from a proper local shop, you know, one where you actually hand over cash and walk out with the product. The warranty’s still good and the machine runs perfectly well. Honestly, these scammers never stop, do they? Total headache.

They asked to speak with an agent but I told them I couldn’t talk right then as if I'd called them. Bit odd really.

Got a call from some bloke abroad trying to sell me an extended warranty for my washing machine. I hung up straight away, but then he actually rang me again. Ignored it and just let it keep ringing!

Some bloke with an accent rang me up saying the makers were giving an extension on my washing machine’s warranty. I was a bit sceptical, so I asked him how long the original warranty lasted. He reckoned two years, but mine should cover way more than that. After that, I just hung up. Feels like a total scam to me.

I just let it ring through to the answerphone, but there wasn’t any message left.

Some bloke named "Simon" rang me up (not the one from Simon & Garfunkel, thankfully!) spouting the same nonsense about my warranty running out. I let him babble for about 20 seconds before just cutting him off. Totally obvious scam if you ask me.

Got a call on my landline at about 2.08 this afternoon. The number was unfamiliar so I just put it on the PUPD feature. I just kept watching Sky Crime on the telly, didn’t bother answering. I seriously doubt they’ll try ringing me back. Total scam, I reckon.

Somebody rang me up and started off calling me by my husband's name without even letting me correct them. Then they went on about a warranty on a fridge-freezer that had run out, but we don’t even own one, we have separate fridge and freezer units. I told them they were completely mistaken and then ended the call. Seems like a total scam to me.

I answered a call and instantly realised it was a dodgy scammer who didn’t even know my last name. When I declined to share my actual name, he wouldn’t disclose his either. There was a cacophony of chatter in the background, typical of those boiler room schemes. Just a heads up, don’t let yourself be taken in by such nonsense.

Someone called, maybe a bloke, with an accent that definitely wasn’t from Suffolk, and asked for me by name. I didn’t say anything, just asked who he was. He gave a name I’ve never heard of and claimed it was about the warranty on my washing machine. I told him these days with energy costs so high, we can’t even afford to run it, and my wife has to wash everything down by the stream, banging it on stones. Then he just hung up. Another dodgy call, clearly.

I received a dodgy call from someone pretending to be from a home appliance company. They were after my bank information, claiming that the warranty for my washing machine had lapsed. They even offered to extend it! No chance, I won’t be falling for that! Just a heads up to everyone-stay vigilant!

If she aint careful, that woman might end up saying goodbye goodbye, for sure.

Got a call saying I qualified for home care assistance. I asked the woman who authorised the call and she confidently said it was me! I told her I’d never come across the home care firm she claimed to be from and warned her that unsolicited calls like this are illegal - then she just ended the call. Definitely looks like a scam aiming to trick folk into handing over private info - steer clear if this number pops up.

Around half an hour ago, I got a call from 01986500234, which is a UK landline number. The caller first was a man’s voice, then a woman took over, both with accents that were hard to catch - it reminded me of what others here have said. They told me my washing machine’s warranty was being extended by two years, but mine actually expired ages ago. The woman didn’t even seem to know the brand of my washer, just said they work with lots of brands. Honestly, if someone’s calling to extend my warranty, I’d expect them to know what make my machine is first.
