Like a dodgy salesman knocking at your door with a sob story, these calls from this number are classic signs of a scam operation preying on unsuspecting householders. Reports consistently describe unsolicited pitches about expiring boiler guarantees or appliance cover reductions, often with awkward silences, foreign accents, or abrupt hang-ups—red flags for boiler room frauds. Don't engage if you answer; simply hang up and block the number to avoid wasting time or risking personal data. For peace of mind, register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on such nuisances, and always verify claims directly with official providers rather than responding to cold calls.
Unexpectedly, I heard a recorded greeting thanking me for calling and saying I’d be connected shortly, even though I never placed the call.
No answer was given; the caller left no voicemail.
I felt uneasy when the call rang; I answered, heard silence for a few seconds and then the call dropped. Likely time‑wasting scammers.
Calls on my landline that I can't identify are never answered; I let them ring out, then look the number up on your site to avoid any charges from scammers. Thanks.
Typical scam: they ramble about my household appliances, even though I haven’t filed a claim in the past year, so the amount is being reduced from £299 to £199.
A call centre based in India trying to pull a scam.
The caller, who sounded Chinese, claimed my boiler guarantee had expired and needed renewal; I have no involvement with maintenance, and when I asked his origin, he hung up—truly unpleasant.
When I answered, the other side was silent except for background voices, and the caller hung up – another likely scam.
Answering the phone, I was met with a chaotic argument that sounded like a group of Asian speakers – clearly a dubious scam call.
