Keep getting calls for it. Leave answerphone to reply.
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!!

white goods warranty extension put the phone on mute and left on table ties their line up so they cannot use it.
Some scammer asking for someone who died November 2021.
Domestic and General kitchen appliance warranty/insurance scam.
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.
Hang-up, no message. Scammers of some type obviously.
claiming to be Aviva - stupidly gave my postcode as i was caught off guard and i do have an Aviva policy and they had my old address, put phone down when they asked for my details and when i questioned that they are calling me they said will call again tomorrow - colchester number now blocked
They just called me and said they were a debt management company working on behalf of the government
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.
