I got a recorded call checking if I was Kevin, I told them I wasn’t. Then it played a message saying “hello Kevin” again. Something about a claim was mentioned in the recording before it ended. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

I’ve put a block on around 10 different 0161 numbers, all of them are those PPI spam calls - proper annoying. Anyone know how to completely shut these relentless callers down???

Really pushy woman, yelling and just wouldn’t accept a refusal. She babbled on about claims or some nonsense like that. Best to just ignore calls from this number, honestly.

Got calls from this number and a few other ones linked to it. The lady said she was with Abacus PPI and just wouldn’t take no as an answer. Definitely blocked them.

Had a call from some PPI place. Woman sounded really sure of herself talking about my money stuff, but none of it was right. Loads of noise from her office in the background. Felt pretty unprofessional. Best not to pick up, it’s just a pain.

Those PPI claim firms like ECT are the worst. Even if you block the number, they just ring you up from some new line. It never ends!

I received a call from a company called Easy Claim Collection regarding PPI claims. Honestly, it's best just to disregard their call entirely.

They keep ringing but never say a word... So, I’ve started a little project. I’ve got unlimited free texts, right? I’m spending some of my spare time texting their landline with things like "stop calling" and a few colourful phrases. Must be a couple hundred by now lol!

Got multiple calls from this number today, 16th Feb 2018, and also a few on the 13th and 9th Feb from a slightly different, but similar number - pretty sure it’s a scam. When you answer and say hello, they act like they can't hear you and then just end the call. It’s so frustrating, especially if you're busy or at work. I think they said they were from Easy Claim Insurance, something to do with PPI, but they weren’t very clear and cut off the call themselves. I've blocked them now.

They keep leaving me these empty voicemails filled with static and weird noises. They just say hello a couple of times and then hang up. The annoying part is they keep calling me over and over, even though I’ve blocked the number.

They’ve called me like 4 times already. It’s super difficult to make out what they’re saying because there’s loads of background noise and some weird crackling too.

got two calls from them in the space of a week. picked up the first one and as soon as i said hello, there was this recorded message saying thanks for calling and someone will get back to me shortly (what??). didn’t answer the second call last week and have blocked the number now.

I've had this number ring me on multiple occasions, both today and yesterday. In fact, they've been persistent, calling on several dates: Friday the 19th, Thursday the 18th, Tuesday the 16th, and a few times last week on the 12th and 11th. I’ve got a hunch it’s connected to another number I received calls from, 0161 249 7281, which bugged me on the 21st, 20th, and 14th of December. Seems like they have a bit of a habit, doesn't it?

sounds like its that firm, [#][#]easyclaimscollection[###)/contact. htm! same boring ppi calls non stop but really poorly handled, either the line drops or they pick up ages after you've said hello about 5 times.

Even though I blocked them, they still rang and left a voicemail with some woman singing. Just a heads up, it’s really annoying.

Got a call from some place called Easy Claim Collection, sounds like one of those PPI scams. They never bother to leave a message either. Best thing to do is just block them.

They keep calling and just hang up after one ring. I’ve never actually talked to anyone. Had like 4 calls from them in the past week. Anyone else experiencing this?
