I received a phone call this morning - 01903 493138 - when I answered the call a young lady asked for me by name and stated that the maintenance payment via direct debit on my washing machine had failed to process and I needed to set it up again.

I instantly knew this was a scam as my washing machine is virtually new and still under manufacturers warranty, therefore there's no need for extended maintenance etc.

As I started to explain the situation she hung up straight away. Please be very wary GNetters, particularly if you have a maintenance warranty on an appliance.

I keep getting an email saying my Netflix account will be shut down as they can not obtain payment. Weird as i dont have a Netflix account and never have. When my DH was alive he had one and he paid from his bank account not mine.

I have just had another call from the same place! Told them in no uncertain terms where they could shove their fraudulent warranty direct debit applications.
