Store staff confirmed it was a fraud, but then it turned out to be a genuine Currys offer
I almost fell for what I believe is a scam when I was contacted by someone saying they were from Currys offering an insurance policy for a cooker that I had ordered in January 2019, but which I cancelled to buy elsewhere. The caller asked my details for “security”, then offered me an extended five-year warranty for £115 or £4 a month. They told me I had to pay by direct debit and asked for my account number and sort code.
I Googled and discovered your article mentioning a huge Currys data breach. I fear the caller was using a stolen list of orders to obtain bank details and Currys confirmed it was a scam.
