Called on 13/9/22 at 1.20pm but no one came on the line when I answered. These Domestic & General fake warranty scammers have called me many times before and I usually given them a piece of my mind about trying to scam the elderly and vulnerable. So although their random dialler is still calling me it looks like they have notes on their system about me that causes the person about to try and scam me to hang up without bothering. I used to report these things to the Information Commissioners Office but lately seem to have realised it is pointless to do so........

I was called by this number on 2/9/22 about a warranty on my washing machine which I don't have and don't want and told them this. Again the same number called on 3/9, 4/9, 5/9, 6/9 all claiming to be D&G. Then today 12/9 they have called twice but I'm fed up answering this call as they don't pay any attention to what you say.

They call my Mother, aged 92, 2 or 3 times a day supposedly about a washing machine warranty. She's told them not to call, but they persist. This is harassment.

Calls received from this number on regular basis. Say they are calling on behalf of Domestic & General and that washing machine warranty has expired. When I say the call is harassment they put phone down.

Keep getting calls from this number. Usually a woman with an oriental accent. Unfortunately I finally lost my rag and swore at her and hung up. Was called back from same number by a man with an Indian accent, who bombarded me with an onslaught of foul language and threats. Apparently he is coming to get me. Hope he brings my insurance policy with him.

To add...i know it is NOT D&G/Aviva...before anyone tries telling me its the scammers ;)

Reading the comments i see when they actually speak it’s either D&G or Aviva. D&G tried to con me last year. They said they had money to return to us from an overpaid insurance, and wanted the account number and sort code. When i said “how do i know you aren’t a scammer?”, (knowing she was), she shouted “do you want this money or not?” The past 3 months this number has called 3-5 times a day, and they do not speak. They just hang up. We have now resorted to ignoring it, not picking up. Then i check the number afterwards. They ring for ages at a time, and we need the landline for my elderly disabled mother. They are really annoying us now, and apart from changing the number (that we have had for 30 years), there is nothing we can do! There should be!!

An entry by a D&G customer says "It’s rather worrying that she knew my details without being told. Are Domestic &General leaking customer details?" Don't worry, they are calling at random; they do have your name and phone number (easy enough), but don't know that you have a D&G warranty. They call me all the time, and I have never dealt with D&G. They are thieves.

They claimed to be from Aviva, clearly an Indian call centre scammer. When challenged for verification they wrre calling from Aviva they got frustrated and gave up. They wanted to know my insurance premium and policy number which I didn't give, but after getting frustrated they hung up. It's some sort of scam, block them.

Conned my elderly grandmother into giving them her bank card details by telling her they were an insurance company and needed the details to keep them safe for her! Thankfully her niece overheard the call and alerted the bank - they tried to take over £700 out of her account in two transactions but the bank stopped them.

The caller said they were from Domestic &General about my washing machine warranty. I didn’t give any details but she knew my name and address. I actually do have a warranty with D&G on my washing machine. I told her I couldn’t talk, so as she knew my address, to send what she was trying to tell, in writing, through the post. She put the phone down. It’s rather worrying that she knew my details without being told. Are Domestic &General leaking customer details?

This number is calling regularly, don't recognise it, so I ignore it. No message has ever been left on the answer phone. As with any number that I don't recognise , I automatically assume it's nuisance/scam calls.

they call on almost a daily basis, " calling on behalf of D&G" they have nothing to do with D&G I asked them to put the quote in the post and they put the phone down on me. Last year another company called "24/7" were doing the same who "have taken the place of D&G, as they have gone out of business" beware of them a well

They say they are calling from Domestic and General about a warranty for a washing machine. I’ve spoken to D&G who confirm it’s a scam call based in South Africa.
