I keep getting calls from numbers that look quite alike, all about some dodgy PPI insurance thing. Every time I try to get some answers, they just hang up on me. Proper scam, I'd say.

Got a call about PPI claims, which seemed odd since we’ve never sorted anything like that online before. Felt a bit fishy to me.

They ring me pretty much daily.

Was kinda uneasy when they said my name right off the bat, makes me think they've got my info from somewhere. It's really annoying how firms just go around trading our personal stuff like that.

This number has called me loads of times. It’s always about some old PPI claim and they say money went to HMRC by mistake. Honestly, I wish someone would ban these scammers for good. Watch out, it’s dodgy!

I’ve had about four calls now that I blocked straight away - definitely a scam, they just keep ringing from new numbers each time.

Got a call telling me there’s cash waiting from some old PPI claim. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away, never even made a PPI claim haha. Not falling for that one!

Had this number ring me over and over. I’ve blocked it loads of times, but it somehow manages to come through again, each time with just the final digit changed. They’re pretending to be HMRC, saying there’s a refund waiting and they need to confirm my info. I listened for a bit and they even said my birth date right at the start, which freaked me out. Ended the call quick sharp. Honestly, best just don’t pick up - it’s a right nuisance to block properly since they keep switching those last digits. Total scam.

I’ve been getting loads of calls from them, probably some kind of PPI scam. I try to ignore it but they’re always changing the number by one digit so blocking them’s a nightmare.

I chose not to pick up when I saw the call was from Manchester, as I don't have any acquaintances in that area. However, after scanning through multiple remarks regarding this number, it's quite clear that it's probably a scam of some sort.

Had a guy ring me up about some PPI claim, which is odd because I've never even filed one! I told him straight that was rubbish and mentioned he looked dodgy on my phone. He just said, 'That's just your phone being funny because I’m calling from an office.' I wasn’t about to give him any bank info, of course. He then launched into a load of nonsense about HMRC owing me money. Didn’t bother listening and ended the call.

Got a call from some dodgy 0161 number claiming I had PPI claims and could get a tax rebate. Thing is, I’ve never even made a PPI claim before, so it was obviously a scam. This wasn’t the first time either, had a couple of similar calls from the same area code. Watch out, definitely trying to con people!

Got a call from this number, they asked for my first name and then just dropped the call. I've blocked them now.

I've had quite a few calls from this area code but always ignored them. None of them left a message, so surely it’s nothing urgent. From what I’ve read in earlier reviews, these calls might be risky, especially for those who are more vulnerable.

Been getting calls from a number almost the same for the third time this week. It's driving me mad!

I told him to just send whatever it was through the post. Honestly, it seemed a bit dodgy, like a scam. Was weird how much he seemed to know about me already.

This number has rung me twice already today. I just ignored it both times. If they ring me one more time, there’s gonna be some serious words!

Just got a second call from someone called Brooksmead, they claimed I’d made a PPI tax interest claim but I never did anything like that. Feels like they’re gonna say the claim was successful and then ask for my bank details to send money. Seems dodgy if you ask me. Smells like a scam to me. Watch out, folks!

This number rang me earlier today claiming something about a tax refund. I ended the call straight away.

Got a call from some bloke claiming I was owed a PPI refund. Said his name was Justin Williams and had a proper English accent. Kept trying to get me to say if I had a credit card or a mortgage. Was a bit thrown off since I was expecting someone with an Indian accent, but seems like just another scam anyway.

Loads of calls from 0161 numbers, none of them familiar. Pretty sure it's dodgy spam stuff, so I ended up blocking every single one.
