01618507528 called me about life insurance, said they were working with L AND G and some other companies. I asked if it would cost me anything, but they wouldn’t answer. They just kept asking if I was happy with my current insurance. I told them to send me details in the post instead. I don’t chat with strangers on the phone, felt like a total scam to me.

PPI calls. They are really pushy and quite disrespectful when you pick up, all desperate to get you to let them help with claiming PPI compensation (whether it’s legit or not). Looks like this company (Crystal Prospects Ltd) was created just in 2014 to cash in on the PPI craze. Some former staff mention the impossible targets they're set, which might be why they don’t take no for an answer. If you’ve got a legitimate PPI claim, you don’t need these firms - just get in touch with your bank, it’s actually pretty simple to claim directly.

My dad got a call from this number tonight. When he picked up, they told him they were sending a taxi for my mum, calling her by her full name. We found it really odd because my mum died about three months ago. Dad was quite shaken and called me straight away. I decided to phone the number myself to see who they were. They claimed to be a London-based company and said it was a free 0800 number, which it definitely wasn’t. They also said they were some sort of mobile marketing business. I took a screenshot with the time and date as proof of the call. The caller ID just showed as Unknown.

Eventually, they dropped a voicemail, saying I should call back if I want to be removed from their list. Like I’m gonna bother spending my time and credit calling them back.
