I have been receiving frequent calls from these individuals for several weeks now. They never leave a voicemail, and I have never answered the calls. They employ different numbers, one of which is 01616674340.

I responded, stating that it is unequivocally a 'Claims Professionals' scam.

Today I received a phone call from a certain number claiming to be related to PPI. Surprisingly, they already knew my full name and address. According to the caller, if I have ever purchased anything from catalogues such as Freemans and Kaleidoscope, these companies may have also charged me for PPI. They also inquired about any credit card usage and purchases made on finance. At first, I was cooperative as it piqued my interest, but the conversation took quite a long time. Eventually, I had to inform them that I didn't have any more time and requested that they send me an application form instead. After our initial conversation, they called me a total of 5 times throughout the day but I chose not to answer. Let's wait and see if they actually send me an application form by post.

I receive continuous phone calls, but I don't answer them. Instead, I ignore the calls and let them go to voicemail. Now, I have added these numbers to my blocked list to stop them from contacting me.

It seems there is a cold-caller, possibly involved in PPI or claim scams, who lacks the necessary skills to communicate with potential customers. They are rude, arrogant, and don't bother listening or responding to what you have to say. The most effective approach would be to firmly shout over them, then promptly end the call and add their number to the reject list on your phone. It's important for an organization to track these individuals and hold them accountable for their actions.

A bunch of incompetent individuals! Find a respectable occupation and cease these irritating phone calls. If you don't provide them with the desired response, they resort to verbal abuse and profanity.

I recently received a call from this number as well. The most effective course of action, if you have the time, is to provide them with completely false information. Keep them on the line for as long as possible and go through every possible detail. Afterwards, ask them to repeat everything again as you are not entirely sure. Rest assured, they will not bother you with another call afterwards.

I was under the impression that it was a legitimate recruitment agency which I had been applying to for numerous jobs. However, I soon discovered that it turned out to be some kind of scam when they started talking about credit cards.

Earlier today, I received a call from an unknown number. Surprisingly, the person on the other end had my name. However, he spoke rapidly and was difficult to comprehend. He grew increasingly frustrated when he had to repeat himself thrice. It seems like he mentioned something about insurance on finance. I explained that I have never had any such thing, to which he replied rudely, "Well then, you won't qualify!" before abruptly ending the call. I must say, his behaviour was quite impudent, wouldn't you agree?

I recently received a call from this number informing me that the matter was not urgent, and they would reach out to me again in a few days. They suggested that if I required further information, I should contact them again. However, I am not inclined to do so.

I recently received a phone call from this specific number. The man on the other end of the line spoke at a rapid pace, putting forth his Mancunian accent quite prominently. He represented a PPI company and due to the poor call quality as well as his fast speech, I had to ask him to repeat entire sentences multiple times. It was quite frustrating, especially when he requested permission to share my information with third parties.

We received a call from a representative claiming to be from Claims Professionals. They notified us about a potential refund. However, when we asked for more details as the call was unrequested, they abruptly ended the conversation. This raised suspicions about the authenticity of the call.

Received a call from this number approximately one hour ago. I was driving, so I answered it using the hands-free mode. Unfortunately, I couldn't clearly hear the person on the other end. It seems they mentioned something about Payment Protection Insurance, but that's strange because I don't have any. However, when I asked them to repeat themselves multiple times due to poor connection, they abruptly said they would call me back later and ended the call. The situation seems rather suspicious. Exercise caution if you encounter similar calls.
