It appears that the caller, claiming to be from Hometec, is attempting to scam individuals by offering TV cover or insurance that they do not need or have not previously purchased. The caller is often pushy and tries to extract personal and financial information, such as bank details, from the recipient. Many users have reported that the caller hangs up when confronted or when their claims are questioned. The fact that the caller is using a variety of numbers and is unable to provide legitimate information about the policy or the company raises significant security concerns. It is essential to be cautious when receiving calls from unknown numbers and to never provide personal or financial information to unverified callers. If you receive a call from this number, it is advised to block the number and report it to the relevant authorities to prevent further harassment.
Frequent calls from these malicious individuals, no message left, deserves severe consequences
No message was left after the phone rang out and diverted to the answer machine; I've had previous calls from this number and don't require additional TV cover.
My father-in-law, who has dementia, received a call from this number, and when I intervened, the caller became pushy, which raised my suspicions, and I ended the call
A call from this number claimed I was eligible for low-risk TV cover, but the representative couldn't provide any details about my TV or payment history, which raised some serious red flags
Upon answering, there was only silence, which strongly suggests illicit activity, and the amusing comments from a supposed representative on 12th June only serve to further discredit their legitimacy
A woman called from this number, confirmed my name, and then terminated the call, which is reminiscent of harassing calls and raises questions about the effectiveness of the Telephone Preference Service
The caller claimed to be from Hometec and offered cheaper TV cover, but when I provided false banking information, they attempted to extract more details, which led me to believe it was a scam
I received a call from 01721264003 claiming I’ve had insurance with them for a while and offered a discount as a loyal customer. They asked if certain numbers matched my cards. I declined, stating I’m 74 and unwell in bed, though I’m actually fine. This seems like a scam—be careful.
They offered to renew my TV cover, but I’ve never had such a policy. Once I mentioned my TV has manufacturer cover, they hung up. I’ve blocked the number.
Reporting this as a scam to the authorities
Didn’t recognise 012721264003, so I didn’t answer. It rang off before I could block it. Don’t know anyone in Peebles, and this is the first time they’ve called. Based on previous comments, I’ll block them next time.
Claimed to be about hometec cover for my tv, probabley a scam since I dont recall purchacing such a policy myself
Received a call from this number about TV cover. They said they could reduce my premium since I hadn't claimed in 2 years. They said I wasn't in their system and asked for my current premium. If they were a real company, why call instead of writing? I told them I wasn't interested and hung up. I'll block future calls.
01721264003
Received two calls within two days. I've blocked the number. They're now focusing on the Highlands area.
Making a saving on my TV cover was possiable due to them
I successfully negotiated a discount on my TV cover through this number.
01721264003
Received two calls today from this number. They claim to be Hometec regarding TV cover, which I don't have. When I mentioned my TV had issues, they disconnected. Clearly a scam.
