Calls repeatedly - sometimes four times in a day. Trying to sell appliance insurance. Very annoying indeed. Blocked.

0800 497 0793 keeps ringing about appliance cover. Sounds like Domestic & General or warranty cover, but it was an unwanted sales call for me.

This number has been ringing me a few times this week. Sounds like appliance cover or warranty stuff, not something I asked for.

Seems to be "Domestic & General" probably calling to make you get their warranty for whatever item you've purchased (for me it's a fridge from AO) constantly calling me back every few days

Had someone from this number twice in two days but not answered. Appears to be Virgin Media? Hassling for sale probably.
