5 yearsSERIOUSLY, HANG UP. THIS IS A TOTAL RIP-OFF. THEY CLAIM YOU’RE OWED £3750 FROM SOME PPI THING, BUT FUNNY ENOUGH, THAT EXACT SUM COMES UP FOR A BUNCH OF OTHERS TOO. IT’S ALL A LOAD OF RUBBISH. THE GUY GOING BY SAM IS JUST TRYING TO TAKE OVER YOUR COMPUTER, SO DON’T FALL FOR IT. TRUST ME, HE’S NOT TO BE TRUSTED. COMPLETE SCAMMERS. STAY SAFE PEOPLE.Sam5 yearsI've had calls from this number and it’s definitely some scammers based in India.India5 yearsGot a call earlier today from this number claiming to be the Government, saying I was due £3750 from PPI refunds dating back to 2019. Sounded fishy right from the start. Why wouldn’t they just send a letter or transfer the cash straight into my bank? Instead, they gave me some reference and CI numbers then insisted I download some wallet app from the app store to claim my money. That’s when I knew something wasn’t right. I told the guy - he called himself Mike - that I wasn’t interested, and he quickly turned rude, saying it was my fault for missing out and then he slammed the phone down. I’ve blocked the number now. Honestly, don’t trust this number. If you’re actually due a refund, the government will always write to you first, they won’t just ring out of the blue!Gov. comMike5 yearsGot a call from the exact same number today asking for the same amount. They wanted me to call them back on that line. Definitely a scam, watch out!5 yearsGot a call from this number telling me to install an app called AnyDesk so they could supposedly send me £3750.00. Sounds good if true, but I’m pretty sure it’s all a trick to hack into my phone or maybe even my bank details. Definitely gonna block them now!AnyDesk5 yearsI got a call from some scammer trying to sell stuff, so I ended up blocking the number right away.5 yearsCan anyone tell me if this is a scam? They keep saying the government’s going to give me £3,750 from some PPI claim I had back in 2019. Doesn’t make sense to me why the government would just hand me that money. Could someone please get back to me and let me know if this sounds dodgy?5 yearsHas anyone else gotten calls from this number claiming to be Wilkinson PPI Ltd? Just wondering if they're for real or some kind of scam.Wilkinson PPI Ltd10 yearsGot a letter signed by Carl and Leah saying they wanted to buy houses nearby, offering estate agent prices. The phone number was there for a callback. The letter was polite and even had a first-class stamp, addressed to 'Homeowner'. Honestly, I’d say steer clear of this one!CarlLeah11 yearsThey called me but i have no idea who, just want to find out who they might be.Submit Your Own Report (0161 818 8514)
