01978355376 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

Caution is advised; genuine organisations do not operate in this manner, so blocking and reporting the number is recommended.

I 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!

Got 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.

Some 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.

Got 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.

Just 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.

They kept insisting I had a PPI claim and said I was owed £1826. I kept telling them I’ve never filed one, but they were so sure about it. He even mentioned my old address! That’s when I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

Got 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. When I questioned why he suddenly changed his name and why he needed my name, he denied anything was wrong and just ended the call. I've blocked the number since.

Watch out for England Claim Services, they’re actually listed as a scam on the FCA site. I just typed their name in and before I could even finish searching, a warning came up saying it’s a scam. You can have a look yourself at the FCA’s official page [#]fca[###][###]. I ignored their call and ended up blocking the number straight away.

Looks pretty sketchy to me. Like a bunch of others have said here, they’re asking for stuff about your money and personal details. When I asked why they wanted that info, they just cut the call off. Definitely wouldn’t trust them.

I answered and said hi, but nobody replied, so I just ended the call. Blocked the number straight away.

Just like others said, he kept saying the government changed things, claimed loads of people checked the claim, but I told him I wasn’t buying it and ended the call.

Got a call supposedly from Wrexham, but the bloke had a really thick Asian accent which didn’t match up at all. 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.

I got a call from a guy with an Asian accent telling me my PIP claim had gone through and that I'd get a cheque in about six weeks. All he wanted was my date of birth, then he hung up. That's all that happened!

Just got a call from a bloke speaking with a thick Pakistan accent, said something about my PPI claim from way back in 2015 being approved. When I asked what claim he was on about, he just dropped the call. Afterwards, I looked up the number on this website.

Got a call from some bloke named Eric Johnson, sounded like he was talking from Pakistan or somewhere like that. 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.

Got 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.

I picked up the phone and some bloke with a heavy Pakistan accent was on the line saying my PPI claim had gone through. I told him flat out that I never made any claim. He said it was done back in 2018 and said they’d send paperwork and a cheque soon, but my bank would take 40% for fees. I kept saying I never claimed anything and then he just hung up on me.
