Domestic & General regarding extended warranty on SkyQ box. Not actually a scam as Sky provide their own warranty through D&G for the first 12months of contract. But feels very scam like as they call multiple times and have data about you.

Call claiming to be Domestic and General referring to my insured item. I didn't give details and hung up, politely. Called the actual D&G number to be told that number is not recognised by them. Interestingly, I received a call from the actual D&G number minutes after this random number called, however the CS member said they had left no note on the system as to why they were calling, and there appeared to be no reason for a reach out. They have now escalated this to be investigated internally.
