Caller claimed he was Roy from Domestic and General. He said my appliance insurance was coming to an end and could be renewed at a 50% discount as I was such a good payer. I asked where he was phoning from and he said SE Asia (probably Philippines as his English was good). I asked for the business address and he said Leicester House, Leicester Street, London SW19 4JS. On a Goggle search the postcode refers to Swan Court 11 Worple Road, Wimbledon, London at which Domestic and General is registered along with 13 other companies. He said his supervisor would phone me from London to arrange the insurance. I don't think the call came from Domestic and General. I am TPS registered and have no appliance insurance so the call is not genuine. I await the call from the supervisor.
