Between 10:51am and 1:10pm today, I got called 16 times from the number 0333 3030960. It's been nonstop!

This number just rang me again. When I said I’d seen it flagged as a scam in the reviews, the guy seemed a bit off and quickly ended the call. He was chatting about PPI before that.

Got a call from someone called Nikhil on 01618187017 telling me I was due a PPI refund of £2300. But then he said I had to pay the tax on it before I could get the money. Felt a bit dodgy to me.

Some bloke called claiming to be a solicitor, said I'd get a cheque sent to me, but only if I handed over £300 upfront.

I got a ring from the number 07485214789 after I had blocked 0161 818 7017 previously. The caller said I was owed a refund for PPI and wanted to post me a cheque, asking for my address. He claimed to be from the British Council’s reclaim team and said I had to pay 10% to HMRC before getting any money. I just ended the call straight away. Don’t pick up if this number calls you - it’s a scam.

These folks just rang us up and the bloke was proper rude when me and my husband questioned him. It's definitely a con, so don't hand out any of your info!

Don't bother ringing back this number, they just keep ringing over and over, which is honestly really annoying. I've already blocked a bunch of numbers from what seems like the same place, yet another one with a similar area code turns up again. It's nonstop!

Watch out, it's a PPI scam! Don’t hand over any cash to them.

I got a call from a man with a foreign accent trying to help my husband claim PPI refund. When I asked about any charges, he told me he worked for the government and it was all free. But then, after I asked him some extra things, he just ended the call on me.
