Expert Opinion
If you receive a call from +441245820866 claiming to be from Home Care and asking for personal details or a payment, hang up straight away. These calls are a classic insurance‑scam tactic – they use a friendly accent, mention a ‘no‑claims’ discount and pressurise you to confirm address or bank digits. Never give out your address, card numbers or any verification code over the phone unless you’ve initiated the call yourself. Report the number to your phone provider and, if you’re worried about potential fraud, contact your bank to flag any suspicious activity. Blocking the number is a sensible first step.

Woman with Indian accent from Home Care. Read the info here, then disconnected and blocked the line.
Woman with foreign accent from Home Care, phoning re TV insurance. Claimed it protects every telly and wire in the house, potentially halving renewal costs. She asked to verify my details and final four bank card digits. I disconnected and barred the number. The digits she recited weren't mine (double-checked post-call out of interest) – clearly fishing for financial data!
Male with an Asian accent requested me specifically. Claimed to be my 'account handler' for Home Care. I've no connection to any such firm. He wanted me to verify my address. I ended the call. Seeing earlier reports, glad I did.
BLOCKED DUE TO INSURANCE FRAUD
A woman with an accent called from Homecare, claiming my TV coverage had been complimentary for two years and now required a £360 payment for the last year. We argued for about ten minutes as I refused to pay, and I told her off strongly before she finally hung up. Relieved I avoided that trick, judging by similar reports.
Received a call on my landline from this number—a woman with a south-east Asian accent, possibly from the Philippines, claiming to represent Homecare regarding my home appliance coverage. Get this: due to my spotless 'no claims' history, they were slashing my 'final payment' in half, and she asked me to verify my address (she already had my right name and details). I refused to confirm or deny, but she insisted the deduction would happen from my account today. Yeah, right! I accused her of being a dirty fraudster, yet she persisted relentlessly until I ended the call.
