Asian lady called me stating she was from Homecare and I'd been overcharged £119 and they needed me to provide the current account number and sort code or savings account details. When I challenged this she transferred me to another agent who was male and said the same thing, kept repeating themselves that they are covered by GDPR and do not have my details to transfer the money to. I stated I was well aware of GDPR and as I work in same industry would never ask for this information for a refund !!! I asked to speak to a manager who agin repeated the same info and when I again challenged him he hung up. None of them liked the idea that I advised people are always being warned about giving these details over the phone

Female caller, said she was from the refund department as I has mistakenly been overcharged on my washing machine warranty over two years ago. Needed my bank details to refund me £112.00!! I think I would have queried at the time if I had overpaid that sort of amount, plus never ever bought a warranty for anything!!
Said they were from virgin, didn't ask for no security details, said someone was stealing my details,told her had vpn,she hung up.
Claimed that I had a refund due for Homecare Appliance (that I never had) and asked for bank details....SCAM!
Said I’d be happy to pop round with my rather large male friend for a friendly chat to sort out the issue with my virgin account as I’d have sleepless nights worrying otherwise. I’d have to bring my dog as he can’t be left alone but he does get over excited at meeting new people. Can’t think why they hung up on me, quite fancied a chat….😎
Asian sounding man called today from a refund department of a company whose name i couldn't understand. Said he wanted to refund £119 as they had overcharged me on washing machine warranty. We don't have and never have had such a warranty. So I said " I suppose you want my bank details now to refund the money? " He said no he didn't need my bank details but I could have money refunded to my current account account. " How will you do that if you don't know my account details" I asked. Followed by slinence at which point I put the phone down.
Asian accent, Male . Claiming my washing machine warranty owes me refund of £139 Number now blocked but I've had several calls claiming the same thing from different numbers over the past 2 or 3 weeks.
A woman with a Chinese accent said I had overpaid on my washing machine warranty by £193 and she wanted to know my bank account details to return this sum. I said “I don’t have a washing machine” and the line went dead.
