What drives these persistent callers to impersonate legitimate firms like Homecare? Reports highlight a pattern of scammers posing as representatives from Home Care Services, often with foreign accents, demanding payments for fictitious insurance policies on TVs, electricals, or even call blocking. They target vulnerable individuals, including those grieving lost relatives, by claiming unauthorised account deductions or renewals, insisting on direct bank debits. This aggressive tactic persists despite hang-ups, escalating to threats of court action. Block the number immediately and report to Action Fraud to curb their operations. Never share details or authorise payments—legitimate companies verify via post or known contacts. Stay vigilant against such deceptive schemes that exploit trust for financial gain.
They asked for my stepdad, who's been gone for years. It upset my mum. I've blocked them.
Homecare cover pushers again. Wanted a last £360 payout for gadgets, telly and antenna insurance we've never owned. Tossed a card ending they don't match mine, so we bailed. Absolute scum of the earth.
Claimed to be from home care, attempting to deduct funds from my bank for a TV. I've no account with them; requested an email of the agreement, but they terminated the call.
Itsepäinen. Yritti vakuuttaa minut että tein vakuutussopimuksen vuosia sitten ja halusi maksun uusimiseksi erilaisilla alennetuilla hinnoilla - jopa peruutusmaksu. Maksu otettaisiin automaattisesti pankkitililtä.
That 01245820814 from homecare again, I let her know I'm not keen and that wrapped up the chat. Likely a con about insurance or similar.
Woman named Julia, with an accent from abroad, requested me specifically. Wouldn't confirm my identity till she said where from and the reason. Claimed Home Care Services, mentioning unauthorised payment on my account. Told her I doubt it, wrong number likely, and ended the call. No such account with them; do they even operate?
Total scam, pretended to call from call blocker demanding final payment – I told her rudely to sod off, she threatened court, bring it on then!
Got a call from an unknown number that never leaves a voicemail, likely a cold call or scam attempt.
Picked up and they inquired about my mother. I informed them of her passing, yet they insisted on discussing money withdrawn from her account and demanded to speak with her. I retorted that she died three years back, has no account, and called them out as fraudsters.
Faking to be from Homecare (a real company) but obviously not. They called back twice after I hung up. Quit only when I mentioned the police. Vile scammers!
Attempted to charge for call blocking service.
Scam alert, some Asian lady insisting on chatting with my missus, claiming to be from homecare—I quizzed her on the purpose but she wouldn't budge, so I ended the call sharpish.
