Very convincing sounding AI called about my games console insurance from Argos. Claimed to be domestic & general. Very sketchy, ignore and report!

D&G Household Appliance insurance. They offer a great service but the sales calls for more opportunities are relentless! Latest call from this number will be because I've cancelled my DD on all my policies - because they were too IDLE to cancel one that I had asked them to (different department, apparently). It's a pity, as my experience of their actual service has been very good, but the sales team don't know when to quit!
Caller said they were from Domestic & General about a Direct Debit. I asked them what they were wearing and they hung up.
this number rang me 4 times over last two days, ignored the calls, guessing its because I have cancelled a direct debit!
Persistent appliance insurance call.
I never answered but a very short voicemail was left by Stephen claiming to be from domestic in general which seems to be a fake version of domestic & general quick Google revealed that the number is associated with scams and I’d have to agree.
They have rung twice on mobile. and once on my landline every time I got silence.
Knew the kitchen appliance i had cancelled a direct debit on. As soon as I said it was cancelled they hung up! Said they were fro D&G...
daily for over a week. Don't ever pick up to find out who it is.
