07872812401 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 07872812401 👆 is reported as a scam targeting recent mobile phone purchasers, especially those who have just bought contracts with major retailers. Victims are often contacted soon after their purchase and persuaded to accept costly insurance policies with unprofessional documentation. Despite attempts to cancel within the cooling-off period, claims of receiving refunds are inconsistent, and many find it difficult to halt ongoing payments. Banks may be unable to block further charges once card details have been given. Several have reported the matter to Trading Standards and consumer protection agencies, but caution is advised when receiving calls from certain premium numbers. Cancelling payment cards promptly is recommended to minimise losses. Overall, users advise not to engage with such calls and to verify all insurance offers thoroughly.

I do hope that the charlatan behind YOU EQUIP gets what’s coming to them. Perhaps a nice stint in prison for six weeks would do the trick - just imagine them facing the consequences of their actions, having to endure a rather unenviable experience, if you catch my drift. It’d certainly make the £100 they swindled from us feel a bit more justified, don’t you think? Honestly, I feel sorry for the poor soul.

I've also been in a similar situation. You might want to check out my experiences and discoveries over at rakh1.blogspot.com/2008/08/you-equip-it-ltd-scam.html. Currently, I'm working on getting my money back from the bank because of what I believe was 'false representation'. The folks at Trading Standards found it quite fascinating!

I've still got a few days left in my 14-day cooling-off timeframe, so I'm well within my rights to ask for a complete refund, as noted on the paperwork we got. I plan to give them a bell; when we called before, we had to navigate their switchboard with all those button prompts-so it’s certainly not out of service. By the way, I've just nabbed an iPhone 3G, and it appears that only those of us with iPhones are being targeted! How frustrating! :(

We had a similar experience, and I must admit, we were rather naive to fall for it as well. It seemed all too coincidental that the scammers were aware of my recent purchase of a phone and insurance from Carphone Warehouse. It only dawned on us afterwards that we’d been the victims of a scam! My bank informed me that since we handed over our card details, there’s little they can do about it. I've filed complaints with Trading Standards, Carphone Warehouse, and the Information Commissioner’s Office. The Consumer Advice team suggested we send an automated email requesting a refund and wait to see how they respond. Fingers crossed!

Quite unfortunate, really! Shortly after securing a phone contract with CPW, our partner acquired a ring a day cover. They forked out £79.99 for an 18-week warranty, but the quality of their correspondence was quite subpar, to say the least. We’re gearing up to draft a cancellation email, but honestly, I’m not too optimistic about the outcome. As a precautionary measure, I’ve already cancelled the Maestro card.

In relation to other individuals who’ve mentioned receiving calls from 08700120213 linked to Carephone Warehouse’s mobile insurance, we too received a text from this number shortly after signing up for what now feels like a dodgy insurance scheme. The payment was directed to "YOU EQUIP this LTD," yet I’m struggling to find any information about them online or on any reputable directory. If you happen to receive a call from 08700120213, it's best to just hang up without a second thought!

We encountered precisely the same situation. We unwittingly got caught in their trap, and it appears these individuals knew I had recently acquired a new phone and insurance from Carphone Warehouse. We were utterly oblivious to the fact that it was a scam! Our bank informed us that there’s little they can do since we inadvertently shared our card details with them. I've lodged a complaint with Trading Standards, Carphone Warehouse, and the Information Commissioner's Office. Consumer Advice suggested we send an automated email requesting a refund and observe the outcome.

We bought an iPhone from Carphone Warehouse, and the very next day we received a call from a company asking for our information. Foolishly, we shared our details, and now they’ve already taken their first payment of £54.99 from our account. Despite being within the cooling-off period, we’ve sent an email to cancel the policy but have yet to hear back from them. It feels like they might be trying to stall until the cooling-off period expires. I plan to give them a call tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this? If I cancel my card, will they still be able to take the second payment?

We dispatched an automated cancellation notice to You Equip in Swansea and, lo and behold, we received a cheque! Now, it’s just a matter of time to find out when it’ll bounce.

It's a bit of a pickle, really! My other half went and purchased a new phone contract with CPW, which cost £79.99 for a mere 18 weeks of coverage, and it’s all felt rather shoddy since it showed up. We shot off an email to cancel the whole thing, but honestly, I’m not expecting much to come of it. To be on the safe side, I've had to cancel the maestro card as a precautionary measure.

We dispatched a registered letter your way concerning the withdrawal of Swansea, and to our surprise, received a cheque! Now we’re just sitting tight to see when it comes back.

UNFORTUNATELY LATE :S My partner snapped up a warranty shortly after signing up for a mobile contract with CPW, shelling out £79.99 for 18 weeks of protection. The confirmation that arrived was quite shoddy, to say the least. We intend to send them a cancellation request, though I’m not holding my breath for any favourable outcome. As a precaution, I’ve also cancelled the Maestro card.

Earlier today, we gave them a call and managed to speak to a representative. We explained that we had returned the phone and no longer required the insurance, so we requested a refund. She advised us to adhere to the guidance on the documentation we received. Subsequently, we diligently drafted an email outlining our cancellation reasons, included a pre-stamped, addressed envelope, and dispatched everything through their automated delivery system! Now, we simply await their response to see how it unfolds...

Hey James, do you happen to know which number these folks rang you on? Is it that 0787 one mentioned here, or perhaps it’s a blocked number?
