01273 987363. 1/8/23Just had a call from this company, the man repeated my name and home address to me.He said my the manufacturer’s warranty on my washing machine was about to expire. He kept asking questions requiring a “yes”answer. He didn’t get any yeses from me. When I asked the make of the machine, he said hotpoint. I don’t have a hotpoint. He hung up.
