Expert Opinion

Ever wondered why you keep waking up to a dubious warranty call at dawn? The pattern points to a classic scam masquerading as Domestic & General, targeting appliance owners with fabricated insurance renewals. Protect your privacy by refusing to share personal details, hanging up promptly, and adding the number to your call‑block list. Register the nuisance with your phone provider and report it to the Information Commissioner’s Office and Action Fraud. Keep a log of call times and content; this aids investigations and helps others spot the scheme. Remember, legitimate companies never demand payment or policy details over an unsolicited early‑morning call.
