This number has a lot of reports and appears to be unwanted or suspicious. I would not give any account or payment details if they call.

This is the second call I have received from this number - claims to be from Domestic and General insurance - offering extended insurance cover on electrical product purchased from Argos.

Supposedly from a company offering an extra warranty for my argos washer. However the second I said I would not be taking it she hung up instantly. If this was genuine then I would never take a warranty out with them because customer service is very impolite and poor.
