3 yearsGot a call about insurance stuff for a policy I've never even bought.3 yearsI got caught up in a whole lot of questions about my home insurance, then it shifted into some kind of "special deal." As soon as they started asking for my bank details, I just ended the call.3 yearsBT’s call blocker stopped this call from coming through. We’ve been registered with the TPS for ages, so even if this was a legit call, they really shouldn’t be ringing us.BTTelephone Preference ServiceTPS3 yearsI tried calling 01989512449 but no one picked up, and I didn’t leave a voicemail either.3 yearsReally frustrating call. They somehow figured out how old I am and kept pushing hard to sell me a personal alarm.3 yearsThat's quite concerning!3 yearsGot a call from 01989512449 today around 4:25pm. The caller hung up right after the voicemail picked up, didn't say a word or leave any message.3 yearsI asked them who they were working for, and before I could hear anything else, they just hung up on me. They tried to tell me I had some kind of insurance on my washing machine that was no longer valid, but I knew that wasn’t true at all.3 yearsI let it go on ringing until nearly reaching my answering machine, from a number I didn’t recognise. And as expected, nothing when I picked up. After seeing all the other comments, I’ve decided to block it.3 yearsSomebody rang me, saying they worked for a firm that sells warranties for household gadgets. They mentioned that the warranty on my washing machine was almost up and offered to renew it at a discount. I asked if it’d be less expensive than the last extended warranty I supposedly got, and they promised it would be. I then said I've never actually paid for a warranty before, so if what they claimed was true, they should be the ones paying me. Right after that, the call just ended. I’ve since blocked their number.3 yearsSounds dodgy - they knew my name and started talking about some spray insulation thing I might have, which I haven't got. Definitely feels like a scam to me.3 yearsGot a call supposedly from an appliance insurance firm. When I asked questions, the caller claimed it was a brand new company. Watch out, could be a scam.3 yearsGot a call claiming my washing machine guarantee was about to expire and they needed my bank info to renew it, which is rubbish since I never had one. They said they’d sort the renewal right away. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.3 yearsI reckon it was a total scam. As soon as I answered with a "hello," they just dropped the call. Probably caught onto me knowing it was dodgy from the way I spoke!3 yearsBeware of a total scam! I picked up my Grandma's phone and a woman called asking for her by her proper title and surname. She claimed that the warranty on her washing machine had expired and offered to extend it another couple of years or so. I played along just to see what was going on. Then, shockingly, the lady read out Grandma's full address and said she’d send more info there. I asked her how she knew my home address, and she just made this awkward noise like “whoops” or maybe “time to hang up,” then instantly cut the call. I honestly think my Gran might have fallen for it, even though her washer’s practically ancient, like 20 years old! It’s absolutely grim that folks do stuff like this. Makes me sick.Gran3 yearsGot a call on my landline from a guy asking straight for me by my name. I asked him who he was, and he said something about my washing machine cover expiring and some new firm taking over the deal. When I asked why I hadn’t had a letter from the first company, he just ended the call. Pretty sure it’s a scam.3 yearsI got a call early, before 8 in the morning, from a woman who asked if she was talking to me. I answered by asking who she was, and then she just ended the call straight away. Feels like some kind of scam to me.3 yearsGot a call from a blocked number saying I could qualify for a home health check-up. Sounded like a scam to me.Went3 yearsComplete scam alert!3 yearsWe get calls from this place pretty often. Thankfully, it’s easy to tell something’s off because they keep asking for a person who’s never even lived at our address. They’re quite persistent and usually try to come across like they’re doing some kind of investigation or something...3 yearsThey called me and asked if I was someone with a name I haven't gone by for more than 30 years, my old married name. Strange thing to ask out of the blue!3 yearsGot another one of those calls today, said it was some government help for fixing up your house. Same old story, with one of those female voices. Total scam, nothing new.3 yearsGot a call outta nowhere from a woman speaking in what sounded like a fake Asian accent, trying to sell me insurance for my washing machine. Honestly, it felt more like some dodgy robot program pretending to be human. The AI was saying that a repair might set me back £80. I calmly told them that if my five-year-old machine did need that much fixing, I’d just chuck it and get a new one instead. I even asked where they’d get it fixed - next thing, the line just went dead. Shocking, huh? That number’s straight into my blocked list now. You’d think these scammy callers, or whatever they are, would realise by now that this sort of rubbish doesn’t work on people with half a brain. So outdated!3 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, but my answering machine picked up and the caller just hung up straight away. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.3 yearsi got a call today from someone trying to get me to renew insurance for my washing machine even tho i don’t have one.3 yearsThey kept ringing me, saying they’re swapping the alarm system from analogue to digital. The most recent call told me the new one would be sent out within 30 days. They mentioned it’d cost somewhere between £300 and £500 a month.3 yearsBlocked the number straight away as it was unfamiliar. Just checked and turns out it’s another scam call!3 yearsGot a call about my washing machine, but as soon as I realised what it was, I just ended the call.3 yearsGot a call today at 12:15 from 01989512449. The person on the line claimed it was about my washing machine warranty. Just thought I’d let others know and report this number.3 yearsI got a call from a woman with a strong accent, kept saying she was calling from some home care agency. I just told her nicely to leave me alone!3 yearsJust got a call from someone pretending to be about a care alarm. Definitely a scam trying to get info. Beware!3 yearsI just keep a landline for emergencies and never pick up without checking the number first. If it’s not familiar, I usually Google it to see what’s up. Seems like this one’s just another scam, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it straight away.Google3 years20/11/23 10:33 - Got a call from 01989 512 449 claiming to be from Hotpoint Home App insurance. The moment I started asking questions, they hung up on me. Definitely a scammer. This was on my landline.Home App CentreHotpoint3 yearsGot a ring from this number but since we use a call blocker for numbers we don’t know, it got blocked right away. We looked it up here and then just deleted it.3 yearsPretty clear scam really - they were chatting rubbish about putting insulation in the loft.3 yearsTotal scam. They couldn't even name the right brand of washing machine.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be about extending the warranty on my washing machine. I told them that couldn’t be right and said they probably had the wrong number, even though they did say my name when I picked up. They just hung up straight away. Definitely a scam - don’t share any details with anyone calling from this number.3 yearsI saw the number but didn’t pick up ‘cause I didn’t know it, and they didn’t leave a voicemail or anything. Also, getting a ring before 8 in the morning is really not on!3 yearsBeware of those dodgy deals selling insurance for your washing machine - it’s a proper scam!3 yearsGot a call from someone saying she was "Lucy," trying to get me to renew some washing machine insurance that supposedly was nearly up. Thing is, it wasn’t even close to expiring. Heard loads of background noise, sounded like an office with people chatting, and the caller had an Indian accent. Felt dodgy to me, like a total scam.LucyHeard3 yearsI got a call about extending some insurance for my washing machine, which is weird because I never even bought any!3 yearsGot a call from a woman with an accent who said she worked for some kind of home care service. I just told her to buzz off nicely.3 yearsBackground noises like people chatting and typing at an office could be heard. The phone just rang with no message left and then got disconnected.3 yearsSaw an unfamiliar number pop up but didn’t pick up. They didn’t bother to leave any voicemail either. Probably just one of those dodgy calls, so I decided it’s safer to ignore it.3 yearsGot a call from some care alarm lot, feels like they’re from the really dumb squad or something. Total scam if you ask me.3 yearsThey didn't leave any voicemail or anything.3 yearsGot a call from this number today but didn’t pick up since it wasn’t familiar. Later, saw there was a voicemail, but when I listened to it, there was nothing - just silence. Honestly, these spam calls are driving me mad!3 yearsGot a call saying my washing machine's insurance needed renewing. I told the lady she was about a decade off with that info. Then she just ended the call.3 yearsGot a weird call about my washing machine earlier, and I had to tell her I don’t even own one! Watch out, something fishy going on!3 yearsGot a call about some dodgy washing machine warranty deal. The woman hung up quick as soon as she noticed I wasn’t buying what she was selling. I’ve gone ahead and filed a report with the ICO.Information Commissioner ’ s Office3 yearsI didn’t recognise the number, so I just went ahead and blocked it.3 yearsI got a call from someone who already had my name and wanted to double check my address so they could post me a letter about a two year warranty. They mentioned it would cost £6 each month. When I asked what model of washing machine I had, they suddenly hung up on me. Funny enough, I did get that machine back in late October 2022. Bit odd how they knew where I live.3 yearsGot a call from a company pushing spray foam insulation. Rang me out of the blue and seemed a bit dodgy. Not sure if it’s just aggressive marketing or a proper scam.3 yearsJust like a few others mentioned, I got one of those scams about insurance for a washing machine - blocked straight away.3 yearsannoying phone call getting through again!3 yearsI heard a lady from Africa say "hello" three times, but all I could pick up was the noisy call centre going on in the background. She didn’t even bother to properly say who she was or what she wanted, which I thought was pretty rude. So, I just stayed quiet and she ended up hanging up. Honestly, some people’s manners and communication skills are completely gone these days - it’s like common courtesy just isn’t a thing anymore!3 yearsI didn’t pick up and there wasn’t any voicemail left.3 yearsGot a call saying my washing machine cover needs replacing because it's worn out. Thing is, my machine’s barely 4 months old! Definitely sounded dodgy to me.3 yearsGot a call saying they wanted to sell an extended warranty for my washing machine, but I didn’t go any deeper into it.3 yearsThis was definitely a scam, don’t trust it!3 yearsSomebody called saying they were from ‘home care’ offering a care alarm.
