An Indian sounding man saying he was fr Domestic and General. Asked for my bank details. When I said no he persisted. I told him I was ending the call. He then rang me back three times but I didn’t answer.
Trying to tell me my British Gas boiler maintenance had expired. Given I don't have British gas boiler maintenance, I guess they're right
Man with an Indian accent asking if man of the house and just managed to mention something about Domestic & General before I put the receiver down.
Indian accent lady asking for the sort code and number to verify that she had the right person. I kept refusing she said she was from Domestic and General and was very persistent so was I and eventually hung up.
After a number of calls over a few days, I picked up the receiver and said nothing. He said hello twice then hung up. Definitely scam call
Woman called, asked for my sort code and got very cross when i wouldn't give it to her.
Sounded like call centre. Indian accent wanted to know if I was householder. When I asked why he became annoyed, said he was from Domestic & General and were my appliances working. Said it was inconvenient time and since he was very persistent I said sorry and put the phone down.
