I got an email that looked like it was from McAfee’s customer service, saying they’d taken £199 from me for an automatic renewal and it would be activated in a day. The message had a phone number to call back, 0161 818 7931. The English in the email was pretty bad though, so suspicious from the start.

Steer clear of these scammers! They rang me up about a supposed successful PPI claim worth £5000. Whatever you do, DO NOT share your banking information!!!

I’ve been receiving calls from this number associated with Finvesting. Earlier this May, I was swindled out of nearly £20,000. It seems likely that this number is temporarily leased by Wavecrest, who are clearly aware of how these scammers operate. Finvesting only commenced operations in January this year, and they are actually a subsidiary of Sanako Service Ltd, who also run the dubious Finvesting.net. They manipulate your trades, apply intense pressure to push you into taking out a loan with them, and subsequently, they somehow manage to plunge your account back into debt remotely.

Got a voicemail from Jennifer this morning around 8:30am saying my PPI claim went through and to give her a ring back. Problem is, I never even made a claim in the first place. Quite annoying.

Received a call from a lady, might've been called Lucy, but I couldn’t pick up. She dropped a voicemail saying I’d won my PPI claim with Halifax for £3000 and asked me to ring her back. Bit suspicious if you ask me!

It appears they’re working their way through the various high street banks. A chap named Michael, who had a rather questionable grasp of English, rang me up claiming to be from Barclays regarding a supposedly successful PPI claim totalling £3000. As I’ve never actually had an account with Barclays, I’ll be steering clear of this one for sure! - caller: 01618187931

Got a call from this number earlier, and it was some lady with an Asian accent asking if I’m with Abbey National. I was like, nah that’s a scam for sure since Abbey National changed their name to Santander ages ago. She didn’t sound very fluent in English either, so I just ended the call right away. Wouldn't bother answering if I were you.

Just got a call from someone who said her name was “Lucy,” but she had an asian accent and couldn't even pronounce my name properly! She was going on about a successful PPI claim I supposedly made. Told her straight away that I never filed anything like that and then ended the call - no way was I falling for that!

Got a voicemail from some Michael at Barclays saying my PPI claim went through and I’m due £3,000. Never made any claim with Barclays before. When I rang back, a lady answered and told me I’d been wasting her time for not picking up earlier. I just told her “you’re the one wasting my time” and hung up.

Got a call from someone who said his name was Michael and claimed to be ringing from Barclays about my PPI refund. He told me there was £3000 waiting for me, but I have never even made a claim with Barclays, so it was obviously a scam. They've rung me at least 9 times over the past 2 months, and every time they leave the exact same voicemail! Absolute waste of time. Do yourself a favour and just block them straight away!
