02038134869 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02038134869 👆 is reported as a highly controversial company operating under names closely resembling established appliance insurers, notably Domestic and General. Numerous users warn of deceitful sales tactics where callers impersonate legitimate firms, claim existing policies have expired, and pressure for immediate payments or bank details, often leading to unwanted direct debits or double insurance. Vulnerable individuals, including the elderly and those with health issues, have been targeted. There are frequent reports of difficulty in cancelling policies and recovering funds, with some complaints about poor customer service and potential data breaches. However, a minority of users report satisfactory experiences with claim handling and appliance replacement. Overall, the consensus advises extreme caution, recommends verifying directly with original insurers, and suggests reporting suspicious activity to authorities.

7 yearsWE TRICKED YOU GUYS AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!8 yearsNot sure if I should be concerned after reading these comments, but I got a call earlier about washing machine insurance. I’m already with Domestic & General, but this woman rang back to double check I knew she wasn’t from them. We did a price comparison and it turns out I was paying way more with D&G. I’ve cancelled my current plan now as the quote I got today was much cheaper. Still waiting on the paperwork though. I’ll update once it arrives.DomesticGeneralD & G8 yearsdomestic assure attempted to withdraw £9.90 from my bank but it didn’t go through because there wasn’t enough cash in the account. Just a heads up, watch out when doing online banking and make sure to remove this direct debit if you ever spot it in your list.Domestic Assure8 yearsGot tricked by this firm but thankfully spotted it early and just ended up losing about £30. Wouldn't recommend trusting them or handing over any info.8 yearsThey’ve called me twice, from 02039510288 and 02089510203, saying these were their customer service numbers. Both times they told me my insurance had lapsed and needed renewing, giving a monthly cost and also a one-off fee that supposedly covered two months free. When I asked why no reminder came through the post, they said it was due to the new GDPR rules stopping them from sending postal notices!8 yearsI thought they were Domestic and General too - they had my details about the washing machine cover and tried to sell me a 3 year plan at a cheaper price. I was totally fooled and ended up paying £99. But the letter I got afterwards didn’t seem right at all, and now I reckon it’s a proper scam.DomesticGeneral8 yearsSeems like this has been happening for ages. Domestic & General said they're gonna check it out and that they’re really serious about people pretending to be them. Judging by the reports here, it’s been going on for over a year now. Makes you wonder where they even got our info from.Domestic & General8 yearsDomestic Assured Guard tricked me into paying £199 for washing machine insurance. They made it sound like they were from Domestic & General, even knew my machine’s brand and when my current cover was about to expire. I asked what would happen with my existing policy, was told the direct debit would be stopped but obviously it never was. Now I’m trying to get my money back through the bank.Domestic Assure GuardDomestic & General8 yearsGot tricked by these lot today, very smooth. They had loads of info like my address and the sort of washer I own. Tesco Bank stopped my card when the bloke tried to do an online payment over the phone instead of a regular call payment! He failed security even though he chatted about me living where I do and being born in Lewisham hospital. Luckily, I didn’t spill the answers to the questions they asked me, but I was nearly fooled 'cos we were chatting so easily. I felt pretty daft but fair play to Tesco for stopping it!Tesco BankLewishamTesco8 yearsInsurance fraudsters, honestly. I told them to shove off but they kept going. Bet they’ll ring again. Got my old referee whistle handy, ready to blow it loud down the line.8 yearsGot a call today from some muppet on the other end who clearly hadn’t got a clue about my multi appliance policy. They tried to slash the premium by £100 if I paid straight away, but when I said I don’t share my info over the phone, they just said “fine, whatever” and hung up. Total con artist!8 yearsGot a call today from Domestic Assured Guard on 02038134869. They claimed they were linked to Domestic & General Group and somehow had all my info. I ended up paying £89 for what they said was an annual policy. Feels like a total rip-off to me.Domestic Assured GuardDomestic & General Group8 yearsSomeone rang me this week and i naively thought they had details on my policy. Direct debit info's been cancelled ages ago, and they’re defo gonna get told off first thing Monday. You really need to get in touch with D&G and sort out your marketing settings with them. That’s probs why these calls keep coming through. GDPR seems pointless, companies always seem to find a way round it!!D & G8 yearsWe thought it was Domestic and General since we've had a policy with them for ages, and they mentioned our dishwasher warranty was nearly up. We handed over our bank info and renewed without a second thought. It did feel a bit dodgy though. Called Domestic and General to check and they said it wasn’t them, so now we've accidentally got cover with two companies. Trying to get a refund from Domestic Assure now. Shouldn’t have shared bank details, but they sounded so convincing knowing about our dishwasher.Domestic and GeneralDomesticGeneralDomestic Assure8 yearsHome security shield8 yearsGot a call from 02036378435 (did a 1471) about my washing machine cover running out. They knew exactly what I’d paid before and offered me a £199 deal for 3 years. When I asked about bank details, they tried to be sneaky and said the details were different. I went ahead and paid, received a contract but then started to feel something was off. Ended up cancelling it.8 yearsAbsolute rip off! They trick you into thinking they’re Domestic and General but they’re not legit at all. They charge you twice for insurance and if you need a repair call-out, you gotta clear all your insurance payments just to get them to come. Total scam, avoid them if you can. They’ve got well-trained staff who always have some excuse ready - dodgy lot!8 yearsHad a chat with Douglas one time about his scams, and honestly, he’s a right nasty bloke. Tried to flip the blame onto me as well!! Absolutely steer clear of him!!!Douglas8 yearsGot a call earlier today about a washing machine. As soon as I said yes, I do have one at my place, they just ended the call. Tried ringing back that number, but no luck, it’s not even a real number. 02038478278 yearsToday, these fraudsters tricked my mother-in-law who suffers from dementia! She gave them her card info but thankfully she put in the wrong 3 digit security code. The bank blocked the £199 charge. We’ve now cancelled her card. I’m planning to report these nasty people to Ofcom and the Watchdog next.OfcomWatchdog8 years020 3813 4869 is a scam, they claim to be Dometic Assure. No idea how they got my number. They told me my insurance with Domestic and General was about to expire and asked if I wanted to renew. But my insurance with Domestic and Gen was still active. So for a month I ended up paying twice. I rang them up and got it cancelled immediately. What a cheeky trick!Dometic AssureDomestic8 yearsEven after telling them loads of times to stop, they keep trying to scam me with calls.8 yearsGot a call from Domestic Assure saying my policy wasn’t renewed, but turns out I never even had one with them. I have had insurance with Domestic and General before, so really odd where they got my number from. Feels a bit dodgy to me.8 yearsNever share your info. It’s definitely a con.8 yearsThe washing machine scam is still going strong - my 82 year old dad, who’s battling cancer and on dialysis, got a call first thing in the morning when he was barely awake and got tricked by the whole “your policy just expired” story - he ended up paying £199 on his card. The machine’s actually covered by D&G and has been for 4 years. I’ve sent off a letter to cancel the fake policy, more to hope than really expecting anything. The number of scams is totally out of control now - my dad gets hit with 4 or 5 attempts a day, even with a call blocker in place.D & G8 yearsGot a call a few nights ago asking if I wanted to keep my washing machine insurance going. Didn’t think much of it and said yes. Then Friday, I got the official renewal from Domestic and General. Rang the company back and told them they were scammers. Also rang my bank to stop the direct debit. How can we stop these people? How did they even get our info? I also called Domestic and General to explain everything and make them aware of this mess. Bridget SmithDomestic & GeneralBridget Smith8 yearsGot a call not long ago saying there’s been a drop in the cost of my washing machine insurance this year. I thought it was covered by the manufacturer’s warranty anyway, plus we usually don’t bother with 3rd party cover for stuff like this. I asked if there was any record of payments with them (Domestic Assure Guard), and they said yes. We have none at all. Still, if they wanna play games, I’ll play too. The paperwork showed up today and I’ve just made the cancellation call. Next step will be ringing my bank to sort things out. Just a bunch of opportunistic scammers.Domestic Assure Guard8 yearsWatch out, this firm is actually run by a notorious con artist named Andrew Hogarth. If they ring you, make sure you report them straight away to Ofcom.Andrew HogarthOfcom8 yearsTOTAL SCAM! Like everyone else here said, they’re faking being Domestic and General to try and sell a washing machine warranty. This time the guy on the phone called himself ‘Elliot’. The company goes by Domestic Assure Guard, but if you check companies house it’s actually IFLM Limited, number 10091988, run by two directors who look like a father and son, Douglas Hogarth and Anthony Hogarth. Definitely avoid and make sure you report it to Action Fraud.ElliotDomestic Assure GuardIFLM LimitedDouglas HogarthAnthony HogarthAction Fraud8 yearsI’ve seen a lot of people moaning about calls from this company, but I’ve never seen any real complaints from proper customers. I’m one myself and I’ve had a really positive experience. I’d definitely say give them a go.8 yearsThe green comments seem like they’re spam from the SCAMMERS (who else would bother to leave a positive review here?). By the way, what on earth is ‘people wringing’ supposed to mean in proper English?8 yearsSCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT!! Got me totally by surprise (not joking) and somehow I agreed to a £9.90 a month 'renewal' for something I already have covered! Now I'm having a nightmare trying to get my money back, steer well clear of these guys.8 yearsThey completely fooled me into believing they were from the same firm that covers my household appliances. I’m keen to find out how they managed to get hold of my number and details about the stuff I own.9 yearsJust got a new washing machine swapped in for me, really chuffed with it!9 yearsThey’re scammers saying your D&G insurance is about to expire and you gotta renew it. Best to avoid them completely.D & G9 yearsThey keep ringing me about some washer insurance saying it’s expired. I know that’s not right cause I pay it monthly by direct debit. I just hang up on them every time but they keep calling back. Seriously, this needs to be sorted out.9 yearsFraudsters, best to avoid.9 yearsFollowing up from 05/02/18, those ####s have just rung me again, trying the same old tale about washing machine insurance. This time I played along and said I didn’t handle that sort of stuff, it was my wife’s job. The cheeky bloke then goes, “Oh no, your wife put it under your name, so it’s your responsibility to renew!” They seem to have an answer for everything. BEWARE OF DOMESTIC ASSURE GUARD.Domestic Assure Guard9 yearsI used to work for a firm in Brighton like this, and honestly, they're really sketchy people. They drill into the staff to be cold and single-minded about making you part with your cash. Honestly, I’m relieved they let me go when they did.Brighton9 yearsI had a very similar situation. A company called Domestic Assure Guard rang my husband whilst I was out, saying he had an insurance renewal due. My husband has dementia so he was quite confused, but they still managed to sell him washing machine cover, which he sadly agreed to and paid £199 over the phone straight away. I've tried emailing them but they don't reply. They've phoned him again this week, trying to sell him more insurance. Are they even regulated by the FSA? I'm thinking of making a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman.Domestic Assure GuardFSAFinancial Ombudsman9 yearsSCAM ALERT! I foolishly gave them my bank info. Shortly after, I got a call from 020 3813 4869 telling me my account was short on funds. I told the bloke I wanted to cancel my policy anyway. He just said, "Alright then, BYE," and hung up on me.9 yearsReally good company with reasonable prices.9 yearsToday, DAG rang my little girl to tell her the warranty on my washing machine was ending tomorrow and tried pushing a deal. I don’t even have any cover with them. I walked in as they were saying it was fine to speak to her instead of me. I mentioned I’d just been let go from my job and they quickly lost interest. I looked them up on Google and found this site. There should be some kind of action against this lot considering all the complaints, but luckily I didn’t lose anything. WATCH OUT.DAGGoogle9 yearsDomestic Assure Guard - TOTAL SCAM - I almost handed over my card info but thankfully caught on in time!FRAUD ALERT9 yearsI've seen quite a few negative comments but honestly, they’re a warranty company and I had my appliance swapped out within two days, no problems at all. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and the process was straightforward.9 yearsHad a call saying my washing machine warranty had expired and they'd charge me £199 for a new 3 year plan. Foolishly gave my card info but later checked and my cover was still valid. They rang back saying payment didn’t go through because of insufficient funds, I said I’d top up the account but luckily I hadn’t yet. Contacted my bank, they were really good and cancelled my card straight away. Now waiting to hear back from them, apparently still no funds available. This'll be a fun chat when they ring me again!9 yearsAt first I reckoned it was D&G calling me, but when I checked the expiry date on my current insurance, I saw it was a scam. Now I’m stuck paying a £25 cancellation fee. Does anyone know if this company is actually registered with the FCA?D & GFCA9 yearsGot a call my mum, who’s quite old, saying her washing machine insurance needed renewing. She never even had insurance. They somehow got her to buy a plan for a year at £69 a month and already took £199 straight from her bank. Now I’m struggling just to get them to cancel it.9 yearsSome bloke from Domestic Assured Guard called my mum in law, who’s 91, trying to flog her some insurance for her washing machine, saying her old one had run out and he could give her a bargain. I rang them up to check and they flat out denied doing that. Looks like it’s time to report these lot, if you ask me.Domestic Assured Guard9 years24/11 At first I assumed it was Domestic & General calling, but it quickly seemed a bit dodgy when they said our policy had been moved from D&G to them. I got the caller's name, Emily, and her number. I told her I'd ring D&G to check and get back to her. After speaking to D&G, they confirmed our cover with them is still valid until March 2019. I rang that suspicious company back and told them there's no way our insurance would be switched over.Domestic & GeneralEmilyD & G9 yearsI’ve had pretty much all these types of cold calls from 0203 numbers. When I don’t pick up, they just leave a message on my answerphone. They even claimed I signed up with them?? Absolute rubbish and really frustrating!9 years02038134869 rang up saying our washing machine insurance needed renewing and tried to sell us cover, saying they'd send details through the post. Then they asked for our bank info, but my wife said we don’t share that over the phone - at which point, he said he’d ring back. This must be a random cold call, as our washing machine's still under a 3-year warranty and is only about a year old.9 yearsAll these green scores here look really dodgy, like spam to me.9 yearsFiled a claim today, will let you know what happens next. (Been using their service for about 3 and a half months)9 yearsJust filed a claim today. Will let ya know how it goes. (Been dealing with them for 3 and a half months now)9 yearsI’m with Domestic AssureGuard, my washing machine stopped working last week and they sent me a completely new one. Honestly, really happy with how they handled it.Domestic Assureguard9 yearsDomestic Assure Guard - Don't get them mixed up with Domestic and General. Loads of firms like this call just hoping you might have something near the end of its warranty, making it easy to think they're the real company. But they’re definitely not Domestic and General!Domestic Assure GuardDomesticGeneralDomestic and General9 yearsGot a call from 02038134869 claiming to be home assurance guard, offering a washing machine warranty for £229 over 3 years. Thought it was legit since they said they were my original provider. Paid by credit card and cancelled my standing order like they told me to. Then my real insurer rang me, asking why I'd stopped my direct debit and warned me it’s a scam. I’ve spoken to them and sent a cancellation letter as requested. Sadly, my credit card company won’t refund since it was a phone payment. Watch out for this one!9 yearsI got a call from 02038134869 trying to sell me a 3-year washing machine cover for £229, saying they were from Home Assurance Guard, which is who I already have insurance with. I paid using my credit card and was told to cancel my standing order, but then my real insurer phoned me to ask why I'd stopped the direct debit. They said it was a scam. I've reached out to them and sent a cancellation letter as requested. Unfortunately, my credit card company won’t refund the payment since it was made over the phone. Be careful with this number!Home Assurance Guard9 yearsGot a call from 02038134869, some bloke named Sam pretending to work for LG washing machines. He was pushing my grandparents to sign up for a renewal policy and kept badgering them for their credit card, using all sorts of scare stories. Be careful and tell everyone you know to never give out card details over the phone, no matter if they’re old or young. That number is definitely dodgy.SamLG9 yearsGot a call from 07872665823, and the bloke said his name was Laurence Coleman. Wondering who he might be?Laurence Coleman9 yearsGot a call from Domestic Assured Guard - definitely not the same as Domestic and General, who actually cover appliances. The guy was after my son, even though he doesn’t live with me anymore, probably found our number from some outdated files. He kept pressing about a washing machine warranty that had long expired. When I pointed out that my son’s washer was second hand and handed down from a relative, the chap got quite rude, telling me I’d said it thrice already and then just hung up. He also tried to convince me the number he gave was freephone, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t.Domestic Assured Guard9 yearsSo this guy from Domestic Assured Guard called me, and I kept mixing them up with Domestic and General - they’re the ones who actually insure appliances. He was after my son, who doesn’t live here anymore, but I guess they found our landline in old files. He started going on about my son’s washing machine warranty being out of date. When I told him the machine was a second-hand hand-me-down, he got really annoyed, said I’d repeated myself too much, and just hung up on me before I could reply. Plus, he said the number he gave me was a freephone - I’m pretty sure it wasn’t.Domestic Assured Guard9 yearsI received a call from this number, purporting to be from Domestic and General insurance. They informed me that my appliance warranty was approaching its expiration date and insisted that I update my information. When they requested my card details, I promptly declined and instead reached out to Domestic and General directly. To my surprise, they clarified that this number had no association with them whatsoever.Domestic and General9 yearsSo, I just renewed my warranty with this company, and when my machine stopped working, they couldn't fix it, but they sorted me out with a replacement in less than two days. Pretty happy with how they handled things!9 yearsIf you need help with your home appliances, Assure Guard is the place to call. They really know their stuff and can sort out any issues you might have. Quite impressed with the support they provide!Assure Guard9 yearsI dealt with a warranty firm recently. Honestly, they weren’t too bad to deal with. A week back I filed a claim, and they’ve just sent out a new washing machine to me. Gotta say, it went a lot smoother than when I had to make a claim with my previous provider.Gotta9 yearsThey called asking the same thing about a washing machine cover and wanted our bank details. When my wife questioned them, they just ended the call.9 yearsI was under the impression my insurance covered my washing machine for its entire lifespan. Now, they're requesting my bank info all over again.Submit Your Own Report (020 3813 4869)
