I can hardly believe my eyes reading this! We’re dealing with the very same situation. We received our new phone on Friday, and lo and behold, the same insurance company gave us a ring. In a moment of foolishness, we ended up sharing our banking details, and today has been consumed with the task of cancelling all those direct debits! We're definitely lodging a complaint with the watchdog-it's baffling how some individuals have the audacity to act like this!

We entered into a contract 18 weeks back and had no inkling that we were being hoodwinked. Just last week, after 17 weeks of being in the dark, we returned to Carphone only to be told that we’d fallen victim to a scam - apparently, this so-called "company" isn't even affiliated with them! Earlier today, I decided to pay a visit to our bank to initiate a claim for our losses. Fingers crossed we can recover our funds, as I’m really strapped for cash at the moment!

I had a chat with Carphone Warehouse regarding the issue, and they've confirmed that they’re aware of the problem, though they didn't have specifics on this number. Apparently, the scammers have figured out some way to anticipate which numbers will be rolled out next by mobile providers, so they just keep dialling the sequence until someone picks up-basically, as soon as a fresh number gets activated for a new customer. So, rest assured, it's not Carphone Warehouse or any provider spilling your information.

We’ve been rather foolish ourselves and ended up in the same predicament. We handed over a hundred quid. It’s utterly ridiculous! Whatever you do, don’t part with your cash for these scammers!

We've just had a rather similar experience ourselves. After handing over our credit card details, we started feeling a bit uneasy about it. To be on the safe side, we decided to cancel the card before they could make any unauthorised charges. Thankfully, a new card is already on its way to us.

I've just had a rather dubious call from these fraudsters, and I strongly advise against handing over any of your hard-earned cash. They tried to entice us with a so-called £99 insurance offer, but we were immediately sceptical and said we would get back to them. The person on the line asked for our name, and considering she was supposedly representing a reputable company, you'd think she would already have that information! I suggest you ask them for details that only they should know, like your name or some other personal info. After that, just tell them to take a hike!

We've encountered the same predicament as Micheal T. Oddly enough, these individuals seemed to have our details almost immediately after we acquired a new phone from Carphone Warehouse. They even addressed a letter to our home, which had a rather dubious appearance about it. Our mobile was obtained from the Ealing Broadway branch, just in case that might aid others. We can't ascertain if someone at Carphone Warehouse is offloading our information or if it’s a case of unauthorised access, but our trust in them has certainly diminished. Take heed of what Micheal T has to say!

We recently received a call from a company claiming to be associated with O2, and, regrettably, we bought into their story. A few weeks later, our suspicions began to rise, so we tried to verify their legitimacy through the FSA register but found absolutely nothing, which only added to our unease. When we attempted to cancel the service over the phone, they relentless pressured us to stay on board. After stumbling upon this website, our confidence in the whole situation has plummeted even further.

We received the exact same call earlier. It seems these individuals are oblivious to the fact that we took out insurance. However, given the solid offer we got from the Carphone Warehouse, it's likely they can make a reasonable assumption. We pretended to be unaware (having looked up the number and landed on this site while still chatting) but didn’t manage to uncover any additional information about the company.

We've been having a bit of a spot of bother with our phone that we purchased from Phones 4U. It’s rather infuriating, to be honest! We've been trying to reach the number, but after a mere 10 minutes, the calls either get disconnected or there's just silence at the other end. Absolutely fantastic, isn’t it?

Absolutely, we've just fallen victim to this too. Fingers crossed that our bank can recover our funds. It's rather frustrating that Carphone Warehouse isn't owning up to their part in this mess. It seems these dodgy individuals are now targeting iPhone customers, claiming to be affiliated with O2, peddling a dubious insurance deal for contracts. I sincerely hope the blighters responsible for this shifty operation get what’s coming to them.

I’ve just had a rather unsettling experience with some folk claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse. They rang me up earlier today, just after I’d had a couple of calls on my brand-new number. We’re absolutely fuming about this as we’ve decided to cancel the payment of £79.99 we processed via credit card. Tomorrow, we’re heading back to Carphone Warehouse to uncover how on earth this situation occurred. If necessary, we’re prepared to get in touch with the ombudsman or Ofcom - can’t quite recall which one deals with these sorts of issues - to lodge an official complaint. It really is quite baffling!

I’ve just had a rather dodgy phone call from a bunch of scammers, and I urge everyone to keep their wallets firmly closed. They were trying to peddle a rather suspect insurance deal for £99. We grew wary of their tactics and told them we’d call them back. The caller asked for our name, which I thought was rather cheeky considering she should already know who she’s supposedly representing! My advice? Ask them for some info that only genuine companies would have, like your name, at the very least. And if they push further for personal details? Just tell them to shove off!

Steer clear of Fone protection insurance! We reported them to Swansea Trading Standards and the police. What a total scam this turned out to be!
