Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, these unsolicited calls often masquerade as routine services to hook the unwary. Reports paint a clear picture of persistent pitches for TV insurance or maintenance that most folk have never signed up for, arriving at awkward hours like 8am and raising alarms with their pushy tactics. It's textbook scam behaviour, preying on confusion about non-existent contracts. Hang up immediately if something feels off, and never share details over the phone. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on these nuisances, and report suspicious numbers to Action Fraud for a proper once-over.
Woman greeted me asking how my day's going - instant warning sign - then mentioned overdue TV service check. Nonsense! Never arranged one. Hung up.
Person posing as TV insurance rep. Though I've owned my TV for a year, it might've seemed legit, but I said I'd handle nothing by phone, and he disconnected. Clearly a fraudulent call.
Rang me at 8 in the morning—not ideal when folks are still snoozing; I just hung up.
Phoned saying my TV insurance contract needs renewing. Never signed up for that, far as I know. No trace of this number online, so reckon it's a con.
