Just got a ring from this number and the person on the line seemed to know exactly what appliances I have insured. She said my renewal for £190 hadn’t gone through because my card got declined. She even knew the last card I used and the final four digits! I was a bit wary and told her I’d call back later, ’cause I don’t trust calls asking for payment like that. She gave me an 0800 number to ring. Before I called, I googled the number and found loads of warnings about it. It all seemed pretty convincing though, and if I hadn’t lost my wallet recently, I might have ended up paying.

In March 2020, my company is still reaching out to individuals. Just received a letter informing me that my three-year breakdown cover needs to be renewed. However, the letter failed to specify any amount. Frankly, this seems like an obvious scam. It's crucial for everyone to remain cautious and stay informed.

My Grandma got a phone call from some bloke saying her Becko washer insurance was up and he needed her bank info to sort it out. She said she doesn’t own a Becko, she’s got an Ariston. Then he said, oh no, it’s the Ariston that’s expired and again asked for her bank details. She wasn’t having any of it and just hung up. Total con job!

My elderly father received a call from Josh Cohen regarding a washing machine servicing contract. However, my father does not have an existing agreement and has no interest in obtaining one. Josh Cohen insisted on obtaining extensive personal information from him. It is evident that this is a scam.

I got a call saying my washing machine warranty was up, but it definitely wasn’t. How did they figure out the brand? Well, the day before I’d picked up a call asking about a "Lifestyle survey." I was careful with what I said, but ended up mentioning my washing machine brand, TV brand, internet provider and even my age. Then the very next day, this number called me!

So this bloke rings up pretending to be from Samsung, telling my dad that the washing machine warranty had expired and offered to renew it for £175. Thankfully, I was there at the time and got dad to jot down the number he gave. Did a quick search online and found out it was a scam. Cheers to everyone’s comments for the heads up! We gave the guy a right telling off and told him to jog on. Managed to catch his name too - Harrison Slaughter. Yeah, as if! Lol!

This morning my mum got a call from someone claiming her Hotpoint washing machine warranty was about to expire and asking for £58 to renew it for a year. She was really unsure but managed to say she needed to check with me first. The caller said his name was David Long and the number he used was 08004118899. Glad she didn’t just pay up without asking!

I keep receiving persistent calls from this particular company (telephone number: 02036377232), trying to sell me insurance for my Indesit washing machine. Although I've repeatedly expressed my disinterest, they continue to contact me. This morning, when they called once again, I decided to go along with their offer of a three-year coverage for £175. I provided the sales representative, Mr. Robert Pattison (or so he claimed), with a phony credit card number, which he insisted went through successfully. Consequently, I anticipate another phone call from them in the near future.

The bloke called himself Richard Williams and said he'd improve the cover I already had on my Bosch stuff. The first call came from 02036377102. Asked for some time to think about it, and then he handed me a name and an 0800 number to ring back.

Got a call from someone named Lewis Cornish about my Bosch washing machine - weird, how did he even know I had one? He tried selling me an insurance policy, £58 for a whole year paid upfront for three years or £7 each month by direct debit. Honestly, if my husband hadn’t been a bit wary, I might have taken the offer.

My nan just got roped into a 3 year appliance cover for £175 by some appliance service. She already had a policy with Domestic and General but they told her it had ended when it really hadn’t. They said it was £58 a year, so imagine our shock when £175 disappeared from her account. Tried to cancel within the 14 days but couldn’t get anywhere. Really bad experience, and not the first time it’s happened. I bought a blocker app for her now and she says it's been brilliant at stopping calls like this. Definitely worth checking out [#][#]blocktotal[###].

I had a rather puzzling encounter with a service provider purportedly involved in appliance repairs based in London. A chap rang me, adamant that he was reaching out on behalf of my washing machine’s manufacturer to offer an extended warranty. The only snag? I’ve never registered that machine, so how on earth could they be in touch with me? He kept insisting he wasn't engaged in a cold call, yet I don't partake in surveys nor have I used this number to sign up for any services, making his claim quite dubious, if you ask me. Though he was courteous throughout the conversation, it felt like a breach of regulations on their part to be contacting me in this manner. For anyone curious, the office number is 0203 6377 929.

The nefarious scam is still in operation. Just today, my 93-year-old father was targeted by a gentleman named 'Thomas Elliot' who cunningly proposed an insurance plan for his trusty 12-year-old ariston washing machine. Would you believe it - a mere £58 pounds for complete coverage including machine replacement or new parts for a span of 3 years! Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Luckily, my father, being sharp-witted, did not divulge his bank information. These disgraceful companies are truly deplorable!

I regret the decision to sign up for an insurance policy with this company. It has been six days since I contacted them, expecting a prompt response within the same day or at least within 48 hours. However, all I have received so far is a series of unhelpful responses from their uncooperative customer service team. I deem them fraudulent and strongly advise against dealing with them.

So these lot called my mum claiming she owes cash for some contract with them called Appliance Serve. Thing is, mum never signed up for anything with them. They kept pressuring her to hand over her bank info, even though she’s never agreed to any deal. Proper scammers just trying to rip people off.

I just had a rather dodgy call from 02036376587, where the person on the other end informed me that my warranty for my Bosch washing machine was about to run out and that they were keen to sell me a renewal. I decided to humour him for a moment and went searching for my current renewal paperwork. He quoted me £72 for a yearly renewal, which struck me as notably less than what I've been shelling out. Considering my machine is an older model-approximately 5 years old-I'd thought it was past its warranty period. After keeping him on the line for a bit, I mentioned I needed some time to think it over. He swiftly provided me with the 0800 number to ring him back and introduced himself as Daniel Dean. I can assure you I've checked, and neither he nor the two numbers are listed with Bosch or Domestic and General, who handle Bosch warranties. This is definitely a scam! - caller: Claimed to be Bosch.

Do not share your bank details with cold callers over the phone. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't. Be cautious and avoid providing any sensitive information to unknown callers.

Beware of APPLIANCE SERVE! They're pulling a fast one on unsuspecting customers, urging you to purchase a policy for your washing machine. Once they've got your cash, good luck trying to reach them again! It's absolutely appalling behaviour and really ought to be put an end to.

Someone rang up asking my wife to get insurance for our washing machine. They told her to pay online but she didn’t want to do that. Still, she ended up giving them the sort code from her cheque book. Is that how they usually do things? Seems a bit dodgy to me.

A friendly-sounding person named 'Tony Nicholls' gave my elderly mother a call, requesting £58.33 to extend the warranty on her very old washing machine. I noted down his number and told him I needed some time to consider it. It appears from the comments above that older individuals are being specifically targeted in this situation.

Today, on the 22nd of January, I received a rather suspicious call from someone claiming to be from an insurance company. They insisted that I provide my visa or credit card information to settle this year's insurance for our Hotpoint washing machine. I found their request quite odd, especially since we already pay via direct debit and our current policy doesn't expire for another month. Sensing something was amiss, I decided to play for time and asked if they could ring me back as I didn't have my paperwork to hand. The chap was quite persuasive, so I urge everyone to be wary of such calls. He identified himself as Jordan Deering. Stay alert!

Hello, I received a phone call from someone named 'Kelvin' requesting my bank details to deduct £59.99 for the annual payment towards my Hotpoint washer, which we haven't owned for the past 5 years. The caller also had my previous address information. It's alarming to think about what these scammers will come up with next!

Today, while at my Mum's house, I stumbled upon a note containing a number and the name Jack Woodhouse. The note was titled "Warranty Washing". Unfortunately, due to my Mum's Alzheimer's, she cannot recall any details about a phone call related to this note. I am concerned that she may have unknowingly provided her bank details to someone over the phone. Tomorrow, I plan to contact her bank in order to verify this. On a positive note, the fact that she still has the phone number gives me some reassurance that she may not have shared her information.

A person named Alex Stains called my 84-year-old mother, claiming that the guarantee for her Bosch washing machine had expired. Fortunately, I was present to handle the situation. It is worth noting that my mother actually owns a Miele washing machine and does not require any additional insurance. Incidentally, the caller mentioned that their office is located on Wedlock Road in Islington. Needless to say, I quickly dismissed their false claim. Just a few days prior, another scammer from the same group had called and made a similar statement regarding my mother's Hotpoint washing machine. Luckily, my mother is still mentally sharp and aware that she owns a Miele machine instead.

My 83-year-old mother recently received a letter from appliance serve, which stated that she had missed her instalments for the past 3 months and required immediate payment. Concerned about the issue, she promptly called the provided number and provided her card details. However, she then mentioned that she pays by direct debit, so she couldn't understand how she could be behind on payments. I overheard this conversation as I entered her living room. Now, I can only hope that the bank can help resolve this situation and prevent her from losing all her savings.

I received a call from a person named "Katy" who claimed to offer immediate repairs for various kitchen gadgets. They proposed a two-year insurance subscription for just under £200, which had to be paid upfront. Despite the offer, I decided against pursuing it as I rarely use my kitchen gadgets and believed that paying for repairs or replacements as needed would be more cost-effective. Out of curiosity, I decided to verify the legitimacy of the company by contacting Which? magazine over the phone. Surprisingly, they had no knowledge of this company or its phone number. However, they mentioned the possibility of it being a genuine start-up and suggested that trying their services, if I ever felt inclined to, would be reasonable. I suppose the final decision is still up in the air!

I received a phone call from a company called Appliance Services, and a man named Pete Walsh inquired about purchasing insurance to cover any potential breakdowns and repairs for my washing machine. He provided me with quotes for the insurance and even seemed to know the exact make of my washing machine, claiming that they cover insurance policies for all machine manufacturers. At first, I was considering giving him my bank details to proceed with the coverage, but I had a change of heart. He then provided me with the telephone number 0800 411 889 and told me to call that number and ask for him, Pete Walsh, if I wanted to proceed. Puzzled by the legitimacy of Appliance Services and the given phone number, I decided to do some research online. It appears to be a potential scam, so I urge everyone to be cautious if they receive such calls.
