3 yearsThey keep ringing me up asking for my dad who passed away 8 years ago, and it's really upsetting. I've told them on several occasions to take me off their calling list because it's quite distressing, but clearly they pay no attention.3 yearsDefinitely a scam, but man are they stubborn. I put the number on block yesterday, yet they still rang me up three times today - once at 9 in the morning, then again at 1 in the afternoon, and finally about half five. Honestly, these lot should be caught and dealt with properly.3 yearsAs soon as I responded, the only sound that met my ears was a rather unsettling, laboured breathing.3 yearsGot a phone call about PPI compensation, the woman asked for my middle name and email, but I said I don’t use that email anymore. Then she pushed for my bank details and who I bank with, but I said no thanks. She kept going on, mentioning mortgages and loans, but told her I had neither. She was quite pushy and a bit rude, so I just said I wasn’t sharing anything and ended the call. Blocked the number straight away - definitely a scam!3 yearsI'm pretty sure it's one of those dodgy scams.3 yearsGot a call from this bloke who started chatting about taxes, and I instantly guessed it was some sort of scam. I told him I’m disabled, so I don’t have to pay tax, basically calling him out. Honestly, these calls can be quite risky.3 yearsGot a call earlier today around 11:27, but thankfully I didn’t pick up since the number didn’t look familiar. Checked it out on this site and turns out I was right to ignore it.3 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy who was clearly trying to scam me. I told him off, not exactly gently though.3 yearsSounds like a total insurance rip-off to me.3 yearsGot a call from some Asian lady about PPI and HMRC stuff wanting me to get money back, but honestly, I’m so over it. They’re really annoying and I reckon these lot should be made to answer for this nonsense. Proper frustrating!HMRC3 yearsAbsolutely total scammers, watch out!3 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non-stop! Anyone know if there’s a way to block it?3 yearsSo, this guy with an Asian accent called, said his name was 'Mike'. I asked what company he was with a couple of times, but he never gave me a straight answer. He mentioned something about me owing a refund from HMRC and that his firm works on a no win, no fee basis. I cut him off before he could start asking for my bank info to 'send' the refund. Honestly, I don’t get how anyone can actually be fooled by these scams!MikeHMRC3 yearsTotal joke, nothing but scammers calling all the time!3 yearsReceived a call from Manchester on 01618180840 on the 20th of September, 2023, around 09:18 and again at 09:27. The caller seemed to have some of my personal information. When he requested my signature and authorisation to send me a cheque regarding PPI, I decided to end the conversation.Manchester3 yearsJust like others have said before, they kept insisting I was owed a refund from HMRC for some PPI thing... totally fishy!HMRC3 yearsGot a call about some tax refund from HMRC related to my PPI claim. Problem is, I never made any PPI claim, so no way I’m owed any tax back.HMRCSubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 0840)
