Yesterday afternoon, a flurry of reports flagged calls from +44 203 787 2898 as spam attempts, often pretending to be Domestic & General offering appliance insurance. Callers usually know recent purchases, use a Scottish or northern accent, and demand personal or banking details. If you don’t recognise the number, let it go to voicemail and block it – never share addresses, sort codes or card numbers. Register the number with your provider’s spam‑filtering service and report it to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Keep receipts handy to verify any legitimate warranty offers, and remember that reputable insurers rarely cold‑call for policy upgrades.
The caller hung up when I didn't respond, indicating a potential scam. The number seems unknown and possibly dangerous.
This persistent number continues to call every other day, causing significant annoyance.

Be cautious when responding to unsolicited calls from this number, as it may be legitimate but also vulnerable to spoofing by scammers. Refrain from disclosing personal information or signing up for anything, and verify extended warranty insurance details through official paperwork instead. It's crucial to prioritize your security and avoid potential pitfalls.

Spam and scam calls
This call appears to be related to a scam, and I'm wary of engaging with the caller.
Another daily scam call. Leave us alone, you f*****g scammers. How do you sleep?
After buying a fridge freezer from Reliant in Cleveleys, I missed several calls over days. When I answered, the caller knew details about my LG purchase and tried selling me a policy. Avoid this number.
This number has rung over five times, and a Google search reveals it's linked to a fake Domestic and General number. Best to disregard these calls
Blocked an unfamiliar number
The caller from +44 2037872898 claimed to be selling insurance for domestic appliances, they knew I had recently purchsed a new washing machine and even knew the brand; they asked me to confirm my adress and postcode, which I never do when recieving calls, when I refused to provide the informations, the caller became abrupt and hung up imediatly.
This number is attempting to sell insurance as part of a Sky scam
My phone has a built-in system that identifies suspected spam, which is how I knew not to answer the call from this number 442037872898
Having purchased a fridge eariler, I suspect that the missed call was from an insurance salesperson, trying to sell me appliance insurance, thankfully I didnt answer and have now blocked the number
This number is definatly spam, so just ignore it.
The purpose of these calls remains unknown, and the timing suggests a potential link to a recent fault report to Domestic & General, which may have led to a data breach, prompting me to block the number.
appliance scammers are annoying
Despite being blocked weeks ago, this number continues to attempt to contact me daily, which is not only annoying but also a testament to the caller's persistence
Phoning repeatedly is becoming quite bothersome, much appreciated for your help.
A man with a scottish accent claimed to be from Beko, he knew I had purchsed a freezer in November and that the warrenty is expiring, he requested my account number and sort code, but I didnt give him any informations, he said he would call me back tomorrow, he sounded genuin but I thought I'd check here first.
The caller claimed to be a representitive from Sky, offering me a so-called 'anniversary deal', but when I refused to confirm my details, they attempted to reassure me that I could verify the number, before hanging up abruptly.
Given the unfamiliarity of the number and recent similar calls, I chose not to answer
Claimed to be from Sky, stating my setup was complete and offering an introductory deal. They asked for personal details like my surname, but when I declined, they suggested I call Sky directly. They hung up as soon as I refused to provide information.
The caller impersonates Sky, which is a cause for concern.
This number should be blocked, as it is undoubtedly a scam.
