Bought a dishwasher and said no to the extra warranty, told them not to call me again, but these D&G people just won’t give up ringing me. Seriously can’t work out why appliance firms even bother with them, they’re pretty useless. Someone really needs to step in and break their stranglehold on the market.

On Christmas Eve, Domestic and General kept ringing me up! For the last month, I've been getting a bunch of calls every week. My oven's 1-year warranty ran out recently, so I'm guessing they're trying to get me to sign up for some kind of insurance.

Watch out! Got a call from someone with an asian accent claiming to be from Domestic and General. The odd bit? I've already told D&G to stop calling me, but clearly this bloke hadn’t heard. He then asked for the first part of my address and i just said, "sort your records out and don’t call me again." Straight to block from there.

This number keeps calling but never bothers to leave a message, which feels really quite disrespectful. I can imagine how unsettling it must be for older folks if they get calls like this. We did buy a dishwasher from Currys, but we clearly told them we didn’t want any extra warranties, so this call is completely unwarranted. Our number is on the TPS list too. I’ve since put the number on block.

It looks like quite a few electrical goods brands rely on Domestic & General to handle your warranty registration, so you have to hand over your info, otherwise you won’t be covered if anything breaks. The annoying bit is, Domestic & General then bombards you with loads of cold calls, pushing their extra warranty deals! I’ve asked them repeatedly to stop ringing but no luck, so I just block their numbers - but they seem to call from loads of different ones, so I’m always having to block more. Honestly, this feels really dodgy and should be banned!

I got a call from them again trying to push extra coverage on my Haier fridge, even tho I already confirmed my 5-year basic warranty with them and made it clear I didn’t want anything else. Insurance firms always find a way to sell you stuff you don’t need. I’ve blocked the number now.

I didn’t pick up, but after looking it up, turns out it was someone from Domestic & General trying to sell extended warranties. I actually used to work for them ages back, so I’m well aware of how they operate. This was probably just the first call of a load more (luckily I’ve blocked the number now). From experience, their extended cover ends up costing more over a few years than just getting a new washing machine. I bought my washer from Argos less than a year ago, so I’m pretty certain Argos have passed my number along without asking me. Proper annoying! 😠😠😠

I got a call from someone claiming to be from Legal & General insurance, trying to get me to sign up for TV insurance. I told them I wanted to see the policy first. They said they don’t send anything in the post and everything’s dealt with over the phone, plus the call was being recorded. Then they asked for my bank details to set up a direct debit. I said I'd need some time to think about it and check it out properly, then I ended the call.

No idea who was calling, so I just let it ring out. I decided to check who it was this time and they quickly ended the call! If it’s that D&G something or other, fair enough - I just got a tumble dryer recently. It’s got a 1 year warranty plus a 10 year extended one, and I can handle any probs on my own anyway. Why the heck am I being bothered then? Sorted and blocked after having a look on this site.

This number definitely belongs to Domestic and General. But honestly, real companies should get that most sensible folks see any random cold call as a scam attempt these days. Nobody in their right mind is going to hand over personal details or agree to anything from a caller they didn't expect. It's just daft. If D&G want to reach their customers and maybe boost business, they ought to send a proper letter first, then maybe an email as a follow up. Cold calling is just a bad move. I'd definitely recommend blocking this number.

Sounds like it could be one of those D&G numbers, so I wouldn’t rush to call it a scam. What I’d suggest is ask them to send the offer details via post or email instead - a genuine caller will definitely have your address already, so no need to give it out. After that, just block the number. No need to report it either since it probably isn’t actually a scammer.

This number keeps ringing me, probably around 8 times now. Most of the time, when I answer, no one’s there - they’ve already hung up. Just recently, I had a tumble dryer repaired under warranty, so I’m wondering if that had anything to do with these calls? I did try to ring them back since it’s an 0800 number, but the automated message told me to call a different 0800 number if I wanted to stop the calls - not something I’m willing to do! I’m based in the West Midlands by the way.

They've rung me a few times but never left a voicemail. I answered today and the caller said they were from Domestic & General offering insurance for my Beko fridge freezer, which I bought back in March. They even mentioned the exact date and knew I'd already signed up for the guarantee. It sounded legit enough. I'll wait and see if they send anything through the post, usually these offers come after the manufacturer's warranty ends. Honestly, I doubt their insurance is any good or worth getting.

Received a call from this number whilst I was behind the wheel, so I didn't answer. They've attempted to reach me multiple times throughout the week in various ways.

Seeing this site makes me glad my phone flagged the call as spam straight away.

The person calling seemed to know I bought a TV not long ago. He asked for my first name and the first part of my address but then just ended the call when I asked what for. Felt a bit dodgy, wouldn’t trust this number at all.

The phone rang three times and then they just hung up before my answerphone picked up. Is this some new method? Getting a call from an 0800 number makes you think it might be legit, but it’s not. These calls are getting way more common lately and I really hope they catch these TO55ERS and slap a big fine on them. BLOCKED.

I'm not sure what that means, mate. Could you maybe write it out again?

BEWARE OF SCAMS!! They’re trying to sell fake appliance warranties. You can report any scam calls by texting 7726. This is what the police advise on the Action Fraud phishing page. Reporting these scams helps put a stop to them. If you already have a warranty with Domestic and General, it’s best to contact them directly using the number on your paperwork to be sure.

Don’t pick up, might be a scam but could also be from Domestic and General.
