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!!!

This number keeps popping up, it’s Finvesting ringing me again and again. Back in May, I got scammed out of close to £20,000. From what I gather, Wavecrest rents out these numbers for a while, and they must be aware they're used for scams like this. Finvesting only started up in January and is actually run by Sanako Service Ltd, the same people behind the dodgy Finvesting.net. They manipulate your trades, push you to borrow money through them, and then somehow max out your account in debt all over again.

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!

Seems like they’re hitting up every major bank, mine was a bloke named Michael with a dodgy English accent claiming to be from Barclays about a PPI payout of £3000. Since I’ve never even had an account with Barclays, I reckon I’ll just ignore it! - 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!
