Phone number ☎️ 02038616383 👆 is reported as a persistent and often unwanted cold-calling number linked to attempts at selling washing machine and white goods insurance.

Experiences vary from politely declined offers to outright harassment and confusion over caller legitimacy. Blocking the number and reporting to the Telephone Preference Service is widely recommended, as calls continue despite refusals, reflecting a mixture of aggressive telemarketing and possible fraudulent intent.

i have cover with this firm, its ProtectingYourBox UK, NOT Protect Your Box. I’ve used their claim service twice in the past year and they sorted everything out pretty quickly. some of the reviews here are from folks who seem to label every single company that rings them as a scam. bit unfair really.

PYB (Protect Your Box) is totally a scam insurance firm. They actually closed down back in 2016 so they're not even around now. Also, I don’t even have a washing machine, so how could my warranty be up? Feels really fishy to me.

Just got a call from this number, saying they were from D & G, then changed it to Domestic & General. The person asked if I was Mrs so-and-so, I said "yes, can I help you?" and he asked again so I replied "yes, can I help you?" again. Then he called me a right snotty little b*** and hung up on me. I called the number back and told them I don't appreciate being called names and then cut off. They said sorry and that they'd look into it - yeah, right! I've blocked the number now, total pain in the neck!

Got a call from this pushy salesman who used my name and mentioned an old address. He was saying my washing machine’s warranty had expired. I asked him which machine he meant and he said a Hotpoint Aquarius. Thing is, I’ve never had a Hotpoint machine, so I called him out for trying to scam me and hung up straight away.

Went to voicemail, no one said anything. I've blocked the number now.

I just got a call from these lot telling me my Hotpoint washing machine’s warranty had ended and that I should get insurance for repairs. The machine’s actually 15 years old this year, so it could well give up soon. Honestly, I don’t think any amount of fixing will save it when that happens. The bloke was pretty pushy when I told him I wasn’t interested, and I also said it’d be cheaper to replace the machine rather than pay over the odds to these dodgy firms who probably wouldn’t honour the policy once they realise how old it is.

Got a call earlier today from a young bloke named Luke, sounded English. I was a bit brusque initially but he explained the reason for his call - trying to sell extra coverage for my washing machine. I said no thanks as I’m content with my current setup. He didn’t push or bother me further, just gave me a customer service number in case I changed my mind. Honestly, this is how sales calls ought to be handled, just a clear yes or no with no nagging. Gotta give credit where it’s due.

Some bloke rang claiming to be with "Protect Your Box," saying they worked for Whirlpool and had my info to sell me an extended warranty for my washing machine. Thing is, I've never had a Whirlpool or anything like that, so I called him out on it and told him to jog on pretty quickly. The call ended from his side after that. I reckon if I’d played along, he’d be after my bank details instead of credit card info. Smells fishy to me, definitely a scam.

Got a call from this number earlier today, 9th October, about renewing a warranty on my washing machine. Told them I wasn’t interested and the bloke just cut me off straight away. Pretty obvious they’re just trying to push some dodgy extended warranty, probably wanting to charge my card on the spot. Honestly, wish these muppets would stop calling me - I’m not falling for it, no chance!

Got a call from a young bloke who spoke English, claiming he was from "protect your box" or something like that. He said it was about a washing machine warranty and even mentioned an address near me and some bloke's name I don’t know. I just told him he’d got the wrong number. After looking at the comments here, it’s kinda unsettling - why bother with this stuff anyway? Made me wonder if they’re trying to keep tabs on me or something, but I never gave him any details like my name or where I live.

Good sounding bloke with an English accent phoning up, asking if I'd like to renew the warranty on my washing machine since the original 10 year one ended. I asked what brand the washing machine was and he said Bosch. I told him I don’t own a Bosch. He just said, “Oh, that’s odd, no worries, I’ll take your name off the list.” Sure, like that’s gonna happen - probably just off today’s call list.

A woman rang saying she was from a firm called Protecting Your Box (I looked them up on Companies House and they’re not real) telling me my washing machine warranty had run out, which it hasn’t. When I told her I have a 10-year warranty she just hung up. They must be going off some mailing list because they even knew my address. I’ve now blocked the number through BT Call Minder!

I received a rather unexpected call from a firm claiming to be Protecting Your Box.com. They were attempting to lure me in with claims of better prices on my home appliances than what Domestic and General offer. However, I can’t seem to locate their website at all, and now they’re ignoring my attempts to reach them. Curiously, they seemed quite eager to obtain my bank details. I decided it was best to tell them to return my call tomorrow instead.
