A caller claimed to be from Homeserve home appliances, stating my washing‑machine insurance had expired (I never had any cover) and tried to sell me six months for £49 or a full year for £99, covering parts and labour. He struggled to accept my refusal to pay. Marked as dangerous, as this could easily be a scam.
Personal Alarm Scam Alert!

Expert Opinion
Scammers often target vulnerable folks with tales of expired warranties or urgent home fixes, preying on confusion to extract cash or details. Picture this: a smooth-talking caller insists your washing machine's cover lapsed, pushing pricey renewals for gadgets you never insured. Or they dangle 'personal alarms' at inflated rates, five times what official sources quote, complete with dodgy addresses and accents that don't match. Reports highlight attempts to snag bank info for these so-called safety devices, especially hitting the elderly— from Microsoft virus scares to loft insulation checks from out-of-town numbers. Block immediately and report to Action Fraud; never share details without verifying independently. Hang up on unsolicited pitches, and chat with family about spotting these tricks to keep scoundrels at bay.

Recent Reports for 020 3519 9570
A call pretended to be a Lifeline sales pitch for an elderly lady with hearing issues, naming Gloria and giving a family contact at 020 3519 9570. BT’s call list shows the origin as 01332 408884, and a withheld number reports Augray Private Ltd. Both numbers are now blocked.

Scam
The phone operator already knew my name, address and that I’d applied for a personal alarm, then quoted a price five times higher than the social worker’s figure. He said the business was based in Dorset but gave a garbled name that didn’t sound like George. I’m sceptical, yet uneasy about how quickly they accessed my data after just meeting the social worker yesterday and a brusque care‑company representative.
A group of scammers rang, claiming they'd visit my 92‑year‑old aunt's house; luckily I was there and stopped them.
They tried to obtain my bank details under the guise of a personal alarm.
That was the classic “personal alarm” scam.
Someone claimed to be from Home Care Insulation, wanting to inspect our loft. The call came from a London number, but we live in Somerset.
Two calls came from this line: the first pretended to be Microsoft reporting a computer fault, the second tried to sell a home emergency button. I wasn’t duped by either.
A call from Spencer using this number contacted our 92‑year‑old aunt, presenting a supposed Piper alarm scam, and she unfortunately disclosed her banking details.
A cold call posed as a care‑line provider contacted my elderly mother, and she unfortunately revealed her banking details to set it up! #### exploiting vulnerable people – shameful!
They claimed to be from Home Care Insulation regarding our loft insulation. The number is from London while we live in the West Country, so I didn’t schedule an appointment.
