Bought a tumble dryer yesterday from Curry’s and he knew about my previous purchases and was very convincing. I answered basic questions like address etc but didn’t give bank details. Thinking about it now he knew my name straight away when I called back on a missed call he answered hello ….. my name
Knew about a recent Currys order and wanted to take to me. Call then dropped out.
Ordered a new fridge from Curry’s yesterday and had a call from this number just now.

Given that I rarely answer unknown number calls, I cannot factually verify that I experienced a scam/spam call however I’m leaving a comment since I, too, made a purchase via currys mere hours before receiving the unexpected call. Data breach?
Exactly the same 4/09/23, two calls after ordering washing machine online yesterday. I didn't answer
Strangely I received a call the day after ordering something from Curry's for delivery next week. The fella had my mother's name who it was ordered for, and he asked if he could speak to her and I said no, but that I was her son who placed the order, and he hung up.
Me too ordered washing machine from currys 6 hrs later phone call started now on black list
I also have been called twice by this number. Didn't answer as I don't answer unknown numbers. Looking at the comments I can see it is linked with purchases from Currys. I also made a purchase from Currys yesterday. DO NOT ANSWER THIS NUMBER!
I received a call from this number today but as it was shown as a number and not a contact I didn't answer. After searching the number on good old Google which led me here, I find it's a Curry's scam ...... yes, I also bought a printer online from them yesterday.
I have just received a call from this number after buying something online from Currys yesterday. The call was breaking up and I couldn't hear him properly but I heard him say my name. I told him to phone back, which he hasn't done, and then checked and I see that it probably is a scam. If he does phone back I will not answer.
Received my order from Curry’s today. I have had two calls from this number today, I did not answer. Thankfully, I searched the number first .
Ordered a laptop from currys yesterday received a call from this number but didnt answer
Claimed to be from Currys. Knew my name. Said calls were recorded. Asked when my delivery was due (ie anytime during the day or morning or afternoon etc). I said you should have that, he said didn.t have access to that. He then suggested it was a security question!!!! I said we would be in to accept delivery for when it was booked and you have our number and email. And that I don't give out information to some random number calling me and asking for that sort of information. TBH Currys ought to warn people about these calls, whether legit or not. After all, they could be trying to suss when the house might be empty!!!!
They just called me wanting to authorize monthly payment plan
