A representative from D&G contacted me, requesting address confirmation without disclosing the purpose of the call, leading to a stalemate and the suggestion to communicate via mail instead.
Telemarketing nuisance from Domestic & General – what to do - +44 800 497 0749 (0800 497 0749)

Expertomdöme
Repeated attempts to contact households suggest a scripted telemarketing operation. Callers repeatedly ask for first‑line address or personal details, often hanging up if the response is not compliant. The pattern of silent calls, abrupt cut‑offs and aggressive sales pitches points to a nuisance strategy rather than genuine customer service. To protect yourself, never disclose personal details unless you have independently verified the caller’s identity. Use your phone’s blocking feature and register the number with the national spam‑list service. Report persistent harassment to your provider and, if you suspect fraud, alert Action Fraud. Regularly review any existing appliance insurance policies to avoid unnecessary renewals.

The caller hung up immediatly after I spoke
Clearly spam
Over the past week, this number has called multiple times, and when I finally answered, there was silence for about 7 seconds before I hung up.
Despite calling twice, no message was left by the caller
Daily calls have become a nuisance, so I simply ignore them now. They refuse to accept rejection.
I'm not sure who it is, but they keep ringing, they very persistant, it's gettin on my nerve
I received two calls from this number, but didn't answer either of them

Apparently, Domestic and General obtians your details when you register your warranty, I used to work in ther complaints department and I can say they are a good insurance company with great like for like replacments and quick engineer times, I would defenitly recomend them for insurance, they are legit
On Monday at 6pm, I chose not to answer. What kind of 0800 number calls at that hour? It seemed suspicious, so I didn’t find out what they wanted, thanks.
Just recieved a call at 6:58pm. Didn't bother answering, especially since it was an 0800 number in the evening. Glad I didn't answer after reading the comments - thanks everyone! Will block now.
Scammers are using this number for their activities
The caller hung up without saying a word
A scam insurance sale was attempted, with incorrect details about a purchase I made, which raised suspicions and confirmed my decision not to engage
Call wasnt wanted by me
Upon receving the call, they immediatly hung up after ringing both mobile and landline!
I previously worked for this firm, which I thought might be insightful! It’s Domestic and General, covering electrical appliances. They already possess your full name and address, but you need to verify it for data protection. They are legitimate (though terrible to work for!), but I suspect there are often installation fees when replacing appliances that aren't clearly stated in the terms and conditions. Customers had mixed opinions; some praised the coverage, while others struggled to get assistance and disliked hidden fees. You can cancel anytime, so if you decide to go for it, carefully review your terms and conditions when they arrive.
This number is a scam insurance caller, dont answer it
Hung up after inquiry
Caution is advise by user
The caller was promoting insurance for LG TVs
They called me, nobody spoke and then they just hung up.
When i picked up, nobody spoke, they just waited and then hung up
When I answered the call, there was no one on the other end, and the line was eventualy disconnected, which was quite bizzare
