Reports on phone number 02038836081
5 yearsOn Saturday morning I got a call from someone saying my washing machine insurance was about to run out. The caller said his name was Dean Winchester and that he worked for Appliance Care 24+, which he claimed was the repair company my insurance provider used. He also mentioned I was a UK account and needed to update his records. There was a lot of background noise, like a busy call centre. I told him he already had my info and didn’t need me to confirm anything, as this sounded dodgy. He insisted it couldn’t be a scam since he knew my name and number. When I quizzed him about when I bought my washing machine, he guessed two years ago and said it was a Becko, both completely wrong. I asked to speak with his supervisor, but he told me he was the supervisor and the line manager. As the chat went on, he got more and more pushy and rude, so I ended the call.Dean WinchesterAppliance CareUKBecko5 yearsReceived a dodgy phone call regarding a supposed tax refund. They insisted that in order to process it, I’d need to verify my credit card information. I can't believe how these scams are aimed specifically at the elderly!5 yearsCould you tell me the name of that sports centre? Just wondering if it’s possible.5 yearsThe caller ID showed it might be spam, so I ended up not picking up.5 yearsThey mentioned my little girl's name out of the blue and claimed it was about PPI.5 yearsThey called me up and actually knew my kid's name, which was a bit creepy. I reckon there must have been a leak at the local sports centre since they had quite a lot of personal info. I’ve reported the incident to the sports centre to see what’s going on. The caller said they were from "HBS Solutions" and were trying to help me claim back PPI. They said their info comes from some free opt-in database, which sounds dodgy to me.5 yearsGot loads of junk calls blowing up my phone lately.5 yearsGot a call saying I’d won some PPI claim, even tho I never made one. When I asked if they could explain where they got my details, they just hung up on me. Quite dodgy if you ask me.5 yearsThis woman called and claimed I’d filed a PPI claim before, which isn’t true. She knew my name but wouldn’t say how she’d got the info. She said her name was Crystal.Crystal5 yearsJust got a call a minute ago. They already had my name and started banging on about an HMRC rebate, asking if I’d been self-employed or about PPI! Then they said someone else would ring me back in about 30 minutes. I told them to quit faffing about, stop trying to scam me, and to erase my number from their records.HMRC5 yearsHe knew my name and mentioned it was my lucky day, but I could barely catch what he was saying. His accent sounded something like Chinese or nearby, and there was loads of noise in the background making it impossible to understand.5 yearsI got a call from an Asian woman who first used Mrs with just my first name, then quickly changed to my full name. There was a lot of noise like a hectic call centre in the background. I didn’t say a word and the call just got cut off.5 yearsi just ignored the call didnt bother picking up5 yearsBoth me and my hubby got a call from this number at the same moment. We didn’t pick up on either phone.5 yearsMy teenage daughter keeps getting calls from this London number. After checking out some reviews online, we figured it's best to just block it.London5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from HSB solutions (or something like that), asking to talk to a kid in my family. They said they were helping me get something back or sort out a claim. It seemed dodgy to me, but what really freaked me out was how they had both my phone number and the child’s name! When I asked, they said I must have agreed to this somehow - which I definitely didn’t. Then they said maybe the child gave permission using my number, but I really doubt that happened! Proper fishy.HSB Solutions5 yearsYeah, they called asking for my 14-year-old lad and actually knew his name too!5 yearsThey mentioned something about PPI, but as soon as they told me they found my number on some database, I just hung up. I’ve never dealt with them, so it seemed pretty sus to me.5 yearsThey kept bringing up PPI, but I didn’t bother engaging since their questions didn’t seem to apply to me. The lady on the phone, who sounded like she was Asian, kept saying “Lovely” over and over and refused to say where they’d found my number. I made it clear I wasn’t interested and had no dealings with them, yet she said she’d get a teammate to ring me back half an hour later.5 yearsI asked who was calling, told them they’d got the wrong number. Then they kept going on, so I told them again it wasn’t right. Just as I was about to hang up, they asked if *name* was a kid or something.5 yearsThey claimed to be from HMRC.HMRC5 yearsSomeone rang up asking for my lad, and oddly enough, they seemed to know his name. When I asked who was on the line, they just went quiet and didn’t say a thing.Submit Your Own Report (020 3883 6081)
