Have repeated calls (sometimes 2 or 3 times a day) claiming to be D & G domestic Appliances. telling us that our cover has expired. Contaced the real D & G and confirmed that cover is still running. This is a scam.
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.
These callers should be arrested
Got called today, claiming to be from AVIVA insurance wanting to go over my details.
This number has called three times today Aug 31st as well as twice yesterday Aug 30th my wife answered on both occasions and the asked for me by name but my wife hung up on the caller, whoever they are and what ever they represent they are very persistent, the problem on answering this call the number shows up on our landline phone and the STD code 01206 is local to us in essex. 01206 represents Colchester and surrounding area.
Got ph call just now from 01206 806340 31 August 2022 - I answered the call but did not say anything and they cut the call - I'm down in Cornwall
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
Scam insurance
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.
I had no message left, either. I live in the North of England so their net is widening.
Got ph call just now from 01206806340 30th August 2022 when the answer machine came on they put the phone down I’ve looked number up it’s from some telecommunications in Colchester. I’ve got all my phones registered with the government ICO and I’m still getting these types of calls grrr
