8 yearsGot a call the other day, could hear noises in the background but noone said a word. Just went straight to blocked.8 yearsDidn't pick up when the call came in the first time. Looked up the number online and found this page. Luckily I did! When they called back, I just responded in French like I had no clue what they were saying. No more calls after that 😂😂😂8 yearsI received a phone call from someone claiming to have a cheque intended for me. They requested my date of birth for identity verification. Oddly enough, they had my previous address and phone number but couldn’t disclose the origin of the cheque. It all seemed rather suspicious!8 yearsGot a call today from a woman overseas, and the other day it was a bloke from a private number. Now it’s this 01978856111, supposedly a mobile, but I can’t track it anywhere. They keep saying I’m supposed to get money back, but because the bank wants 40%, they’re pushing me to fib and play along. I told them if it was real, just send a cheque, and it wouldn’t take ages to sort. You won’t believe it - they just hung up. Total scam!8 yearsEvery time I tried hanging up, they’d just ring me back again. Proper annoying and felt like harassment.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke who claimed to be ringing from England about my PPI claim. He said I was gonna get a cheque for more than £1000. He already had my name and address but kept asking for more info. I just told him to send the cheque and then ended the call.England8 yearsYep, just got a call from someone in India again.8 yearsI got a call from a woman with a foreign accent asking for someone called Catherine Brown. I told her that nobody by that name lives here. She didn’t say a word after that and just stayed silent. Then, out of nowhere, the line started ringing while I was still on the call, and after that the phone just cut out. You could hear background noise like a busy call centre. Since she didn’t respond or even apologise for bothering me, I’m pretty sure this was just cold calling and nothing more than a nuisance.Catherine Brown8 yearsI got a call from this number the other day, but my call blocker stopped it from coming through. It's from the Wrexham area code, I believe. After seeing what others have said about it, I honestly reckon this number should be removed altogether - it seems quite risky.Wrexham8 yearsGot a call from someone named Henri, who sounded Indian, saying I supposedly asked him to ring me the day before yesterday! When I reminded him it was Sunday, he just ended the call. Proper dodgy!Henri8 yearsGot a call from someone named "Sarah" who sounded Indian, saying my bank had approved my PPI claim for just over £2000, but she couldn’t even name which bank it was. I told her it was pretty stingy given all the stories about people getting thirty grand back. Then she actually laughed and asked if I was having a laugh with her! When I said no, she just hung up on me. At least it made me chuckle, so not a total waste. I’ve blocked the number now.Sarah8 yearsSome guy called me, said he was Jack from ######### England, telling me my PPI claim would get me £2999. Sounded like a proper newbie. I just kept quiet and let him ramble on until he caught on I wasn’t paying attention.JackEngland8 yearsGot a call from a bloke called Henry, speaking with a pretty thick foreign accent. He said my PPI claim was sorted and all I needed to do was set up a tax-free investment with them. Then, supposedly, they'd get my bank (which they wouldn’t say due to ‘data protection’) to send me the full payout without taking a 40% tax cut. I asked loads of questions and after being shuffled between different people, they gave up trying on me.Henry8 yearsGot a call from two people who I could hardly understand, something about Data King Services, I guess? They said they were calling from India. Definitely didn’t ask for it and they were really pushy and irritating.Data King ServicesIndia8 yearsGot a call from this number just yesterday, saying my PPI claim was approved - which is nonsense because I’ve never even claimed anything. I told the bloke with the foreign accent that I never had PPI and to stop bothering me. Messaged him off and blocked the number straight away.8 yearsGot a call from a lady with an accent who kept calling me by someone else’s name. I explained I wasn’t that person but mentioned I’d gotten calls before for that name and asked if they could remove my number from their list. She snapped back rudely, telling me to just change my number and then slammed the phone down. Ended up blocking their number now.8 yearsJust a heads up, this number is being faked. The real owner is a completely legitimate business that has no connection to any PPI scams.8 yearsHad a call from a woman with a foreign accent who asked me my name, then suddenly said my PPI claim was approved. Thing is, I never even made one. Quite fishy if you ask me.8 yearsThere was no sound or anyone talking when I picked up, not even any noise in the background, so I can't really say much about it. Given that this number has popped up a few times here, I'm guessing it was probably some sort of nuisance call.Submit Your Own Report (01978 856111)
