I had a phone call this afternoon from an unidentified number. Person on the other end said he was calling from Churchill insurance regarding my home insurance renewal.
I received the documents a few days ago and the renewal date is in a couple of weeks.
I asked him why he was calling me and he repeated that it's to do with my home insurance, 'yes, but why are you calling me?'
Apparently, 'to see if we can help you in anyway today'. Unless they're lowering the quote, which I very much doubt, no you can't help me. 'And can I confirm the first line of my address'
Now, I don't know if I'm overly suspicious but to me this screams scam so I told him I've received the documents and if and when I want to renew my policy I'll call them.
I did a search on a 'who called me' website and it turns out that it is a genuine Churchill insurance number and people are getting these calls all the time; clearly I'm not the only one who thought it was a scam.
So are all insurance companies doing this now?
Would anyone else find this really annoying?
It's not an overdue electricity bill, I'm not obliged to pay what they're asking, and I very well might go with a different company. So stop bothering me with your scammy type calls because I'm not going to give some random caller my details.
