I’ve had this number ring me like loads of times in the past half year. They always leave a message, but it’s some automated voice and it never says who’s calling. All it does is give a number with a Manchester dialling code to ring them back on. Quite annoying really.

So, today I got a call about my washing machine warranty expiring in October. They mentioned it was registered to my previous address. I explained that I’d left all the appliances back at my old place when I moved out. Also, I told the guy the new rental comes with its own appliances, none of which belong to me. After that, he just ended the call.

So, I got a call from a woman named Lisa who sounded like she was stuck in traffic or something, chatting from her car. She kept asking about the type of insulation I have up in the loft. After just a few simple questions, she managed to get all the info she wanted.

Over the past few weeks, this number has been ringing my phone incessantly. I've chosen to ignore it and, consequently, have added it to my blocked list.

I rang them back and at first there was music playing, then an answerphone said they were closed and gave opening times Monday to Friday. Kinda weird since they called me on a Saturday morning when they’re not even open. So I just went ahead and blocked the number.

Noticed that this number is linked to Purple Legal. Isn’t it amusing? I received a call from them right after I began my application! I backed out just as they were requesting my signature (I mean, really?!). Regrettably, I had already provided my phone number. I'm convinced this is a scam through and through.

I picked up the phone only to find silence on the other end, so I hung up straight away. This has become a frequent occurrence. I’d recommend avoiding it altogether and just adding this number to your blocked contacts.

Indeed, I completed the form earlier today under the name purplelegallimited. Their Trustpilot rating is rather dismal. I would recommend heading over to Moneysavingexpert for some guidance, as it won’t cost you a penny.

I got a call from 0161 854 1741, the person said they're from HMRC and said they've done some sort of audit and I owe a huge debt, like five figures. They sounded really dodgy, proper scam if you ask me. I'm just glad they didn't bother my folks - they'd be absolutely stressed out! Honestly, just put this number on your block list.

I got a text from Purple Legal about some claim I supposedly never finished. After a quick search, loads of folks said it’s a scam pretending to be from a bank. Now, I’m getting calls from loads of random numbers, so I’m just going to ignore them and block every one of them.
