5 yearsJust silence when I picked up, and no voicemail was left either.5 yearsOnce again, just not picking up on the unknown number saved us! When I told the caller to leave a message, they just hung up immediately. I looked up the number and turns out it’s flagged as risky. Watch out, folks!!!5 yearsSome bloke called saying my washing machine cover was due for replacement. I don’t even have one! Told him straight he was trying to con me and then ended the call.5 yearsGot a quiet ring and then a quick message saying no one could answer right now. Quite annoying, really.5 yearsEvery time I answered with hello, the person on the line just kept repeating hello back. It's really annoying getting these calls all the time. And blocking them doesn't help because they always ring back from a new number. So frustrating!5 yearsToday around 1pm I got a call but didn’t say anything since it was the second time they rang earlier and all I could hear was silence on the other side. After waiting for about 20 seconds with no response, I just ended the call.5 yearsSomeone kept calling about washing machine insurance, but the moment I asked any questions, they just ended the call straight away. Proper dodgy!5 yearsGot a call from 02082042985 about some washing machine insurance. Told them I don’t even have a washing machine, and the person just ended the call straightaway. This was in Devon.Devon5 yearsGot a call from 02082042985 about some warranty thing on my washing machine. When I asked which brand it was, she got it right, but I was a bit suspicious since my machine's only just over a year old and still under a 2-year warranty. Told her to ring back after I’d had time to look at the papers. Not holding my breath for another call though.5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me loads and it’s definitely on my call blocker now since I always get the caller ID pop up. Don’t bother answering!5 yearsHad a lady ring up out the blue, didn't say who she was or anything, just asked if it was me she was speaking to. Then she tried to tell me my washing machine's warranty had run out. Once I said we only got it a couple of months back, she just hung up on me.5 yearsSomebody called saying my washing machine warranty had expired and I needed to pay more to extend it. Weird thing is, I haven’t even owned the machine for a full year! Before I could say much, they just ended the call.5 yearsHavent had a ring from this number in ages, like over a year and a half. Switched back to Virgin just today, then bam, the call came through again. They were asking for someone who's never lived here. Told them they've got the wrong place, I did. The bloke just chuckled and hung up when I asked who it was. Saw the other comments so I'll block the number straight away - don't wanna waste my time chatting to them next time.Virgin5 yearsMy wife rang round after i told her that some people called my 98 year old mother in law saying her insurance was unpaid. It really upset her and made her anxious. I looked up the number here and it's obvious these scam artists don’t have a conscience at all. How can they live with themselves doing this to elderly folks?5 yearsI got a call about some kind of washing machine insurance supposedly up for renewal. They tried to get me to start a new direct debit. I ended up giving them my sort code, which in hindsight was a mistake, but then they pushed for my full account number. I told them straight up I wasn’t about to share that over the phone. Then this woman handed me over to a bloke who got really annoyed when I refused to give my account number. It all got quite tense and then, without a word, he just hung up on me.5 yearshad a call from some kind of insurance con, but this time they said it was about a washing machine. what threw me off was the caller sounded properly english, not one of those foreign voices you usually get with scams. honestly, that makes it feel more threatening, especially for older folks who might trust it more. when i called her out on the scam, she got really nasty, which was pretty unpleasant to put it mildly. really bad attitude from that side.5 yearsgot a call from someone named emily who kept saying "nothing to worry about, dear" in this really condescending way, then she goes on about my washing machine warranty being up and asks if i want to renew it. total scam, just trying to trick you into giving your bank details or cash. don’t fall for it.EmilySubmit Your Own Report (020 8204 2985)
