0141 479 0147 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

It's third party insurance companies who have access to the details about purchases from companies like Currys and are trying to sell you insurance or extended warranty. They should NOT be asking for bank details unless you are buying insurance. I suggest that you never give bank details to anyone over the phone anyway.

Didn’t answer this number as I didn’t recognise it. I recently bought a washing machine from Currys and now, after reading these comments, I’ll certainly be blocking it.

Same but I gave them my name and address until I knew it was a scam

Call from this number with them being very informal saying my name before I gave any details and also referencing the item i purchased from Currys. They asked about item and if i had it yet. They asked when being delivered and what time. I purposely gave them the wrong time and at that point it felt they pretended the call was being disconnected. I phoned currys to make sure was all ok with order and they felt it would have been someone from the 'back office'. Definitely sounds like currys are passing details on. Will submit a wee query when in the shop tomorrow.

2 missed calls from this number following buying a washing machine from Curry’s. After reading the below comments I’m glad I missed the calls and I will be blocking the number. Why has Curry’s not prevented this from happening yet?

Bought from Currys yesterday, ignored call today and then read these comments

I’ve just ordered from Curry’s so I’m assuming this may be same person calling me now as per others on here. I have not answered and will just block it. Why is this happening ? Is this someone working in Curry’s who seems to have information on peoples online orders ? Very strange

Just got a call trying to sell additional product cover. Just a point though they obviously got the info from currys because they knew what id ordered and the delivery details. So Currys must be selling our information without consent or theres a little check box we've all missed.

Same as other people reporting here. Ordered something from Currys yesterday, received missed call from that number today. Didn't try ringing back. Looked the number up, and found all these comments. Very confusing - some news articles say the calls are genuine even though Currys staff say they're not.

A company can and will ask for bank details over the phone if it is relevant and you are subscribing to a plan or service that requires a direct debit to be set up. Paper mandates are rarely sent out and it has been this way for years.

I just received a call there. I stupidly caught on late and gave him the basic info (name, address and the product I have purchased), as he then went on about a warranty I declined his offer and he seemed alright about that. Am I okay because I didn’t provide bank details despite what I had gave him beforehand?

I received loads of missed calls from this number and eventually it was someone claiming to be from curry’s offering extra warranty etc. Knew my details and what I bought but this phone number is NOT associated with curry’s! I spoke to someone at curry’s customer service and this number isn’t theirs and they have advised not to give any info and certainly not any money.

I just received this call and phoned Curry’s after reading these comments. They confirmed it was NOT a scam. The man on the phone knew the price of the item and the make and model as well as the delivery date and that I had requested recycling and installation. I had believed he had too much info for it to be a scam call. Curry’s confirmed I had the care plan added to my account and it was from them.

What did your bank do? I’m in same situation and have to call tomorrow’

They called and sold us a care plan for a dryer we recently had delivered from curry's. Thought it was too good to be true, we hadn't received any confirmation email a few hours later so contacted curry's and they said it wasn't them and they wouldn't have been calling us. Currently on phone to bank now.
