Another hopeful scammer. A phone call from a young woman, who knew my name and address, and said she was phoning from "home care appliance insurance", (but didn't mention which company.) As I do have Homecare insurance for my kitchen appliances, I continued to listen. She said she had information that I hadn't made any claims in the past year (true) so I was being offered a discount on my next year, and told me the old and the new price. There was about a 20% discount. she then passed me over to "her line manager" to finalise. He wanted me to "confirm" the expiry date of my credit card so that he could complete the change. This rang warning bells to me, as the price has been legitimately changed on the Direct Debit several times in the last few years without me having to do a thing, so I said I would have to check on something first and rang off.
I then put the number into a phone number checker and discovered that others had had the same call - including some who didn't have any kitchen appliance insurance to get a no-claim bonus on.
How do I bring this issue up with our neighbours?
