In March 2019, I got multiple calls from a number telling me I’d won over £4000 with my PPI claim. They even gave me an FCA number and said I had to get life insurance so I wouldn't be taxed on the payout. I tried calling them back, but then I rang the actual firm handling my PPI, and they had no clue about it. The real company said they're looking into the matter now too.

Got a call saying my PPI claim had gone through. I was like, what claim? Tried telling her I couldn’t make out what she was saying because of all the noise behind her and her really thick Indian accent, then I just ended the call.

Somebody called saying I’m owed thousands from a PPI claim, but I’ve looked into it loads of times and never been charged any PPI that would count. Sounds like a total scam to me. I just hung up. They kept ringing back about three more times tryin to get me to pick up again. Proper annoying!

Got a call a few weeks ago from someone saying I had loads of cash to claim from PPI. They even knew my name and where I live. Tried to get me to stay on the phone for about ten minutes, but it didn’t feel quite right. Ended up just hanging up. Definitely didn’t trust it.

I answered and they were calling with a wrong name, so I told them it's not me. Right after that, they started getting rude and swearing at me! When I asked them to take my number off their list, they got even worse. Seems like a pretty bad scammer to me.

Got a couple of calls from someone saying I had £3,589 waiting through a courier, claimed it was from a PPI claim. They gave me some reference code and said I couldn’t collect the cash unless I had an investment like life insurance. I wasn’t able to chat then, so they rang back later that evening. The call only lasted a few minutes before it ended. What freaked me out was that they already knew my full name, address, and even my date of birth! Totally feels like a scam. Does anyone know how I can stop my details getting out to these dodgy callers?

Got a call from someone claiming to be about a big PPI payout, said I was owed over £4,000. They wanted me to confirm my address and name first. Told them I never even claimed PPI, so it wasn't me. The person didn't want to end the call easily and even told me to just hang up if I couldn’t verify info. Proper dodgy.

A so-called PPI caller rang me up claiming I was owed a huge sum, even had my home address and a reference number. But when I started dodging their questions, they got all awkward. Then they said someone would actually come and drop the money off in person! Definitely felt like a total scam to me.

Got a call about a PPI claim, and the person knew my full name, address, and postcode straight away. Then they handed me over to another person, but my phone flagged the call as possible scam, so I just ended the call there. Bit disappointing since I’m 71 and could really use the money they mentioned. They even gave me a reference number, which seemed quite legit.

I didn't answer the call 'cause the number was unknown to me. They didn't bother to leave any voicemail either.
