Phone number ☎️ 01978846653 👆 is reported as a scam number where callers pretending to be from official PPI or government services claim your compensation claim has been accepted, despite no recent or valid claims.

Multiple users have had similar experiences, confirming no genuine connection to any legitimate organisation.

8 yearsI just got a call from this number, and the bloke on the line had a foreign accent. He told me his name was Daniel Smith and he said he was ringing from Inland Claim Services. He claimed he was calling “on behalf of the government” about a PPI claim that had supposedly been approved. When I asked for more specifics, he said it had something to do with a loan or credit card I supposedly took out before. I asked for which loan or card exactly, but he just kept repeating that my claim was approved and that he needed to confirm my identity. I haven’t made any recent PPI claims (only ones from years ago that were sorted ages ago), so there’s no way this is legit. Feels like a total scam to me.Daniel SmithInland Claim Services8 yearsGot a dodgy call earlier, someone trying to chat about PPI claims. Total scam.8 yearsGot a call on this number talking about a successful pip claim, but I’ve never filed one. Total rip-off, watch out!8 yearsGot a call from a number that didn’t show up on my BT caller ID - pretty sure it was either a scammer or some telemarketer. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.BT CallGuardian8 yearssome guy rang saying my ppi claim was approved. i asked what claim and for what stuff, he went on about having info on all my bills, loans, electric bills and that i've been paying ppi on them. i told him you dont pay ppi on electric bills. he insisted i did, then i just hung up. total scam.8 yearsI got a call from someone with a strange accent saying my PPI claim was sorted and I was owed a big payout. They asked me to verify my info, even my bank details. Of course, it's a scam. I’ve never contacted anyone about PPI, especially not these lot. I’ve blocked their number straightaway.8 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from England Claims Service, supposedly linked to some regulatory authority. They told me I was eligible for a PPI payout but warned that I'd get charged 40% in bank fees unless I signed up for a life insurance policy for a few months. They said I could cancel once the money came through. It’s mad how they even know what you're supposed to get without having any of your bank or loan info. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it.8 yearsGot a call from 01978846653 saying my PPI claim was approved. Thing is, I already sorted my claim almost a year and a half ago, so this has gotta be a rip-off. Told the person to shove off and cut the call. Gonna save this number now and block it if they ring again. Total scam, watch out!England8 yearsHad a call saying my p.p.i. compensation claim had gone through, which was odd since i never even filed one. Totally sounds like a scam to me!8 yearsGot a call from one of those automated numbers, asking if I've got any PPI claims. Totally annoying!8 yearsI picked up when this number rang but there was silence on the line, felt like some kind of robocall. Then earlier today, I saw a call from a different number with the exact same area code, and it turned out to be one of those PPI scams.Submit Your Own Report (01978 846653)
