Got a call about some sort of tax refund thing from PPI, not sure if it’s legit or not. Anyone else had this happen? Seems odd to me.

Right at half past 11 this morning, I got hit with six calls from unfamiliar numbers, including this one. I’ve blocked them now but honestly, I’m so pissed off with these nonstop calls morning, night, and even on weekends! Can’t take it anymore 😡

Got a text from 01253531678 saying my tax rebate is on hold with some ref like ts/uk and then an app plus a code. I’ve not paid tax for ages since I retired 12 years ago. Seems dodgy to me, so I’m just gonna block the number.

Got a call from someone with a South African accent, but I really couldn't catch what he was saying. He mentioned something about a tax refund, said he'd called before about it. I told him I wasn't interested and ended the call.

I got a call from someone claiming to be Gladstone Brooks, telling me I could get a refund on PPI payments. Then they handed me over to another company, saying they were handling the payments for them. They asked for some security info, got 21 details from me, and that’s when I realised it was a scam. Luckily, I didn’t give out any bank or NI numbers. It’s such a dodgy scam, definitely steer clear. I feel proper daft since I used to work at a bank and always tell others to watch out for these things.

i keep gettin calls from this number no matter what, drivin me up the wall. tried blockin it but it still rings through.

I got a call from someone with a South African accent saying they were from Pockex about a PPI claim linked to Halifax. They also mentioned I might be due some tax back from HMRC. The caller asked me to verify my full name, phone number, email, and NI number. He wanted to send a text so I could sign some documents that way. I said I preferred to get the paperwork in the post, but he said doing that might cause delays or even void the claim. I told him the call sounded dodgy, and then he tried to push me towards a website before I just ended the call.
