Phone number ☎️ 01978355376 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from callers with strong South Asian accents, claiming affiliation with dubious firms like "England Claim Services" and falsely stating recipients have successful PPI claims worth substantial sums. They often request personal details such as date of birth and addresses, sometimes quoting outdated information to appear credible. Recipients describe aggressive, rude behaviour and tactics to rush or coerce sensitive data, with some calls linked to attempts at extracting bank details or selling unnecessary financial products. The number has been associated with harassment due to repeated calls, often after hours, and is linked to negative reviews warning of potential fraud. Caution is advised; genuine organisations do not operate in this manner, so blocking and reporting the number is recommended.

3 yearsDefinitely a creep, watch out!4 yearsI had a call from a woman with an Asian accent using this number, who stated she was representing the UK Claims Services. She mentioned that they were working alongside the Financial Ombudsman and assured me that they would investigate my claim thoroughly. Quite intriguing, really!UK Claims ServicesFinancial Ombudsman4 yearsGot a call from a local number telling me Amazon had taken money from my account. They said to press one if I wanted to talk to someone, but it was a total scam.Amazon8 yearsSome bloke rang me about something to do with England Claim Services, saying I was entitled to £1826 for PPI. When I asked where he got the authority to look into my case, he just told me to piss off and slammed the phone down.England Claim Services8 yearsGot a call from some bloke who said his name was Alex or maybe Alec, about a PPI claim. I told him straight that, as per GDPR rules, he shouldn’t have my number and demanded he erase my info from their system. He just ended the call. Don’t think a trustworthy, proper company would act like that.AlexAlec8 yearsJust like loads of others here, it was one of those dodgy PPI calls. They asked for my bank info straight away. Felt good to keep him on the line for a good 10 minutes before telling him where to stick it.8 yearsCalled me back-to-back twice.8 yearsThey kept insisting I had a PPI claim and said I was owed £1826.

That’s when I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.8 yearsGot a call from a guy with a really thick Asian accent. First he said his name was Steve, then right after I said okay, he switched to Kevin. He actually knew my name and asked me to confirm it.

He asked for someone by name but I told him I was just the cleaner. Then he wanted to talk to me, but I said no, she never chats with random callers. He hung up straight away. Seems pretty obvious it was a scam to get bank info.Wrexham8 yearsI didn’t pick up, the phone rang on my Viber instead.Viber8 yearsGot this annoying caller with a heavy Asian accent ringing my work number, and every time I tell them Mrs Louis isn’t around, they just hang up.

He was hitting me with that usual pension scam stuff, promised 40% returns or whatever. I’ll admit, he almost pulled me in for a moment. Ended up keeping him chatting for a good quarter of an hour just to mess about and kill his time - hopefully stopped him from bothering anyone else too.Eric Johnson8 yearsgot three calls all within five mins, never picked up tho, jumped online to see who it was and now i’ve gone ahead and blocked the number already8 yearsGot a call with no one speaking and no voicemail either. Pretty annoying really.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a thick Pakistan accent claiming my PPI refund went through and that a cheque was on its way. He said my bank would take 40% if I'd recently got life insurance, but if I hadn't, I wouldn't be charged. I told him I’d just sorted a policy, then he started asking for details so he could cancel it and set up one with his company. That was my cue to hang up sharpish.8 yearsI picked up the phone and some bloke with a heavy Pakistan accent was on the line saying my PPI claim had gone through.
