08004118899 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08004118899 👆 is reported as a persistent cold-calling operation primarily targeting elderly individuals with offers to renew or extend insurance for household appliances, notably washing machines. Callers often appear knowledgeable about specific appliance brands and previous policies, creating a convincing but deceptive scenario. Numerous accounts highlight aggressive sales tactics, misrepresentation of coverage status, and difficulties obtaining refunds or cancelling contracts. While some customers describe the service as legitimate, many warn of potential scams and advise caution, particularly against providing bank or card details over the phone. It is recommended to independently verify any such calls with the original appliance manufacturer or trusted service providers and to avoid engaging with unsolicited offers for payment or personal information.

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 I received a letter from this firm about my 3 year breakdown cover needing renewal - there was no price mentioned anywhere. they keep ringing up and it seems like a total scam to me. watch out for these guys!

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 dad got a call from some bloke called Josh Cohen about a washing machine service contract. Thing is, he doesn’t have any contract with them, nor does he want one. The guy was asking for loads of personal info which seemed off. Pretty sure it’s just a scam.

So, got a phone call earlier from someone called George Eaton. He was talking about insurance for my washing machine, but he seemed pretty keen on making sure I didn’t set up a Direct Debit or anything like that. Bit odd, really.

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’ve been getting constant calls from this firm, using the number 02036377232, trying to push insurance for my Indesit washer. I've said more than once that I’m not interested at all. But this morning, when they called again, I pretended to go along with their offer (£175 for a 3-year policy) and gave a Mr Robert Pattison - if that’s even his real name - a bogus credit card number. Apparently, he said it was accepted without a problem. Bet they’ll be ringing me back soon...!

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.

These scammers are still at it. Today, my dad, who’s 93, got a call from someone called ‘Thomas Elliot’ trying to sell him an insurance cover for his 12-year-old Ariston washing machine - £58 for 3 years, which would supposedly cover any repairs or even a replacement! Sounded ridiculously dodgy to me. Luckily, he’s quite sharp and refused to share any bank info. It’s awful how these firms prey on people like that!

I took a chance and got a policy with these lot, been nearly a week now and still no sign of the promised same day or 48-hour reply. Every time I call customer services, it's just a load of excuses and no real help. Honestly, feels like a complete scam, steer well clear!

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.

My elderly mum got tricked into a £270 contract and when we tried to cancel it within 4 days, they still charged a £20 admin fee! Absolutely disgraceful, especially as she’s on the telephone preference list. Avoid this company at all costs!

I got a phone call from 02036376587 saying my Bosch washing machine’s warranty was about to run out and tried to push a renewal on me. I asked him to wait a bit while I checked my current renewal details. He was quoting me £72 yearly, which was way less than what I usually pay. Knowing my machine’s probably around 5 years old, I doubted it was still covered. After a pause, I told him I needed to think it over. He quickly gave me an 0800 number to ring back and said his name was Daniel Dean. Just so you know, neither he nor these numbers are linked to Bosch or Domestic and General, who actually manage Bosch warranties. DON’T FALL FOR IT - it’s a complete scam! The caller pretended to be from Bosch.

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.

An old washing machine warranty extension was offered to my mum by a bloke who called himself Tony Nicholls. He seemed really friendly and asked for £58.33 to renew it. I jotted down his number and told him I'd get back to him later. Judging by what others have said here, it looks like these calls are mainly aimed at older folks.

Just got a call today, 22/01/16, from someone asking me for my credit card or visa info to cover this year’s insurance for our Hotpoint washing machine. I thought it sounded dodgy since we pay monthly through direct debit and our cover doesn’t expire for another month. I told him to ring back later as I didn’t have the details with me. He seemed really sure of himself, so watch out and don’t fall for it. He said his name was Jordan Deering.

Hey, someone named 'Kelvin' rang me earlier asking for my bank info to supposedly take £59.99 for a yearly fee for a Hotpoint washing machine. Thing is, we sold that washer over 5 years ago, and he was even using my previous address! Honestly, these scammers come up with the most ridiculous stuff nowadays.

Today at my mum's place, I came across a scrap of paper with the number and the name Jack Woodhouse, scribbled under something called Warranty Washing. Mum’s 86 and suffers from dementia, so she’s unable to recall anything about the call. I’m really hoping she didn’t hand over any bank details, and I plan to ring her bank first thing tomorrow just to be sure. On a positive note, since she still has the phone number written down, maybe she didn’t go any further.

My mum, who’s 84, got a phone call from someone named Alex Stains - he said his surname was the same as the place! Luckily, I was around to handle it. He tried telling her that the warranty on her Bosch washing machine had run out, but she’s got a Miele, not a Bosch - and she definitely doesn’t need extra coverage. He claimed to be calling from Wedlock Road in Islington. Of course, I gave him a very quick dismissal. Just a few days before that, another woman from what I assume is the same scam team called about my mum’s Hotpoint washer - again, mum’s clear in her mind and knows her machine’s a Miele. Glad she’s got her wits about her!

My 83-year-old mum got a letter from some appliance company claiming she’d missed three payments and needed to cough up straight away. She rang the number they gave - the one above - and ended up handing over her card info before realising she actually pays by direct debit, so couldn’t be behind at all. I overheard the conversation as I came into the room and it really worried me. Fingers crossed the bank can step in and stop her from losing all her savings to these scammers.

I had a call from someone named "Katy" selling a two-year insurance plan for fixing kitchen appliances, costing just under £200 upfront. Since I rarely use my kitchen gadgets, I didn’t bother pursuing it, figuring it’d be cheaper to just fix things as they broke. I did ring up Which? magazine to check it out though. They said they hadn’t come across the company or the number before, but thought it could be a new business and said trying them out wouldn’t be unreasonable if I wanted to. So yeah, I’m leaving it there for now!

I got a call from a guy named Pete Walsh, who said he was from a company called Appliance Services. He was offering insurance to cover my washing machine in case it broke down and even mentioned the brand of my machine, saying they dealt with all the manufacturers’ cover plans. I was this close to handing over my bank details for the policy but decided against it last minute. He then gave me the number 0800 411 889 to call and ask for him, Pete Walsh. After googling both the company and the number, it seems a bit dodgy, like it might be a scam. Just putting it out there so others can be careful.
