I've received multiple calls from this particular number that’s flagged as Suspected Spam. Honestly, I don't pick up, and they never bother to leave a message. If it were a legitimate call, wouldn't you think they’d actually take a moment to drop a message? It’s all rather puzzling, isn’t it?

They’ve rung me up 5 times this morning, even though I clearly asked them to stop and take my info off their list. Feels like proper harassment if you ask me.

Got multiple calls from this number today, no sound when I answered but you could hear noises like an office in the background. I’ve put in a complaint on the OFCOM website, reckon others should do the same.

Got a call from a lady claiming to be from Brooksdale about a PPI claim. Told her I wasn’t interested. Since then, the same number kept ringing me daily. After looking it up here, I just blocked it.

Got a call from some bloke claiming he was from Brooksdale. Said I was a valued customer and that I was owed £134. I listened for a moment and could tell he straightened up, thinking he’d cracked it. I just said, "No thanks," and ended the call.

This number 0161-8264957 has rung me thrice today and I'm really getting tired of it. I have no clue who they are so I just don’t pick up anymore. Quite annoying!

I got a call from the number 01618264957 yesterday and then again this morning around 9:50am. A woman said she was ringing from Brooksdale about a PPI claim linked to HRMC. Since I've never made any claim with HMRC, I just hung up straight away. Don't give them any details, it’s definitely a con.

I got a call from a friendly lady claiming to be from Brooksdale, chatting about a tax refund for working from home over the last few years, and even mentioned my old PPI claim with them. She asked for my postcode and dob, everything seemed proper at first. But then my phone flagged their website as not secure, which made me uneasy. Now I’m unsure if I’ve been scammed or what could happen next. I’ve already got in touch with Fraud Action to report it. Feeling quite anxious about the whole thing.

Just like lots of others have said, this caller was completely silent - no idea what the point was. I've blocked the number now because honestly, these call people are such a nuisance.

I received a dodgy call from someone who insisted I had a refund waiting for me. They then proceeded to ask all sorts of so-called "security" questions. Definitely sounds like a scam to me!

They called me up using my own name and asked for my birth year and postcode. Claimed I’d already spoken to them before about some sort of ppi tax refund. Before I could say much, they just hung up. I’ve told HMRC about it but honestly, I’m not sure what else they could do with those details. Feeling a bit uneasy now!

I just got a call on my home phone from someone claiming to be with Brooksvale, saying they’d already recovered some money for me. I told them no way, that’s not true. They insisted it was sent via bank transfer. Thing is, I’ve never had any PPI refunds come directly from anyone but my own bank. Normally, I don’t even share my landline number, so that made me wary straight away. When they started going on about bank transfers, it pretty much nailed it for me - total scam. Don’t fall for it, just hang up!

So I got a call claiming to be from Brooks Dale Ltd, saying I had a tax refund coming. Thing is, I have a document from 11/01/2022 showing I asked them to take me off their list. They sent me a link via text, but I just deleted it right away.

I received a call from an individual purporting to be from Brooksdale. It's clearly a rather sophisticated scam. They tend to send a link which I strongly advise against opening. This situation definitely needs to be flagged for others to be aware.

I've received two calls from this number, and they’ve not bothered to leave a voicemail. I previously interacted with the claims team before Brooksdale took the reins after they ceased operations. I’ve been in touch with the tax office, ensuring that only I handle matters related to my business. Thankfully, that’s been effective thus far. Just a heads-up - avoid opening any emails from them, as it seems they might pull a fast one and bind you to an agreement that automatically signs your name.

I received a call today from this number claiming that I’m eligible for a refund on my work uniform allowance. They instructed me to click a link in a text message and sign up. I haven't clicked or signed anything, and I'm planning to block the number right away.

We’ve been getting daily calls from this number around 7 to 8 in the morning, and it's definitely some dodgy Asian call centre. They’re just persistent and it feels like harassment. Best to just ignore and not answer.

In my experiences with Brooksdale, I've managed to successfully reclaim various things before. They unearthed entitlements from long ago that I had no idea I could receive. Honestly, I'd much rather have half of something that I was previously unaware of than nothing at all!

This guy called me, said his name was James but spoke with a thick Indian/Pakistani accent. He was telling me I’d already paid tax on some PPI claim. I didn’t trust it and ended up blocking the number straight away.

Received a couple of rings but no voicemail left. I decided to give them a bell back (from a landline, mind you) and was greeted by a voice with children chattering away in the background. After a few queries, the chap mentioned they were from Brookdale regarding PPI claims. Now, I’ve had some favourable experiences with PPI in the past, particularly with 'The Claims Guys,' who apparently have ties with Brookdale. Recently, I've had a couple of interactions with Brookdale, and, to my surprise, I’ve managed to get some unexpected refunds. They do seem to engage in cold calling, so I’d recommend calling them back from a landline and, if they claim to have something for you, ask them to either post the details or shoot you an email.

I've had this number ring me multiple times, and every single occasion the answering machine picks it up, only for them to abruptly disconnect. I’ve noticed some folks mentioning that it's Brooksdale on the line. I've had my share of interactions with them before, so I can't quite grasp why they don't bother to leave a message. It’s giving off major scam vibes, if you ask me.

I've come across some surprising information regarding Brooksdale and their PPI refunds. It's interesting to note that when you register with them, they take almost half of any tax rebate you receive, not solely related to PPI claims. Additionally, it seems you cannot opt-out once you've signed up. They even featured on Rip-off Britain, which speaks volumes about their practices. Quite concerning!
