7 yearsI had a victorious PPI claim, and during the conversation, a gentleman with a South Asian accent inquired about their commission before providing any information.7 yearsGot a call from 02031299354 saying i was due £2700 for wrongly sold PPI, and their charge was £270 pounds. They said they'd send someone round with the cheque. Asked when I’d be in and wanted certain documents from me. Also asked if I had a day off cos deliveries only happen at specific times. I told them to just post the cheque but they refused. When I asked for more info, they couldn’t really explain and just kept repeating the same spiel. They’re now ringing me like five or six times daily.9 yearsHe said he was calling back about some PPI stuff - already had my address. Then he asked if I had any middle names and wanted my DOB. He said he’d take 30% if he found any PPI claims for me. Felt a bit iffy about it, even though he mentioned data protection, still made me feel quite paranoid.9 yearsSome bloke said he was callin' me back about PPI - already knew my address, asked if I had any middle names and for my birthday. He reckoned he’d take 30% if he found any PPI claims for me. Felt a bit iffy but he kept going on about data protection. Still, I’m a bit wary of the whole thing.PPI9 years02032868676 called me saying they're from the London County Court despatch team offering £3250 ppi compensation. Asked for my new address to send the cheque. Got a funny feeling about this one, doesn't add up at all.County Court of London9 yearsI just got a call from a man with an Asian accent claiming to be part of the Central County Court of London’s Despatch team. When I questioned him, he said they’re handling PPI claims after the new 2018 laws came in. Be careful, this is definitely a SCAM. The London County Court really needs to do more to prevent these fraudsters from using their name.Central County Court of LondonLondon County Court9 yearsI got a call too from 02071931649, some bloke named Michael saying that I had a loan back in 2002 and that I was owed £3000 in PPI. Then he asked me to buy a £175 iTunes card to cover their fees. Claimed he was calling from HSBC. As soon as I heard his accent, I just told him to piss off and hung up straight away. He tried ringing me back but I just ignored him.MichaeliTunesHSBC9 yearsI got a call from a private number with an Asian bloke on the line, telling me I had a claim for £3100. He said I needed to buy £250 worth of PaySafe cards and then they'd send someone over with my cheque. I looked into it more and quickly realised it was a scam. They kept ringing me loads, some even shouting, so I told them my partner is a police officer. Since then, they’ve stopped calling. They wanted me to ring 01444390618, claiming to be the despatch team from the High Court in London.High CourtLondon10 yearsJust this morning I got a call from someone named Kensy Richie who said he was ringing from the Despatch Team at Central London County Court. He told me I had a £4200 cheque waiting because of a CCJ linked to PPI mis-selling by HSBC back in 2007. When I asked for more details, suddenly the amount jumped to £7600. He got really rude and cut the call when I asked for a photo of the cheque. Total scammers!!! After reading other posts about calls from 02081239872, it's clear this is a common trick. Everyone, be careful out there!!!!!!!Kensy RichieDispatch TeamCentral London County CourtCCJHSBC10 yearsComplete con job, when you start questioning them they quickly change their story and try some other trick to swindle cash out of you with iTunes vouchers.10 yearsComplete con artist behaviour! As soon as you begin to inquire further, they suddenly change their story and attempt to trick you into coughing up cash via iTunes vouchers. Quite the dodgy operation!10 yearsI recently received a call from a chap named Keith Williams, who appeared to be of Asian descent, using the number 0208 123 9872. He claimed that I was entitled to a reimbursement of £7700 for PPI. Oddly enough, he mentioned that a fellow by the name of Thomas Jones would personally deliver the cheque to my doorstep this evening. However, he insisted that I needed to fork out 5% commission, which would be £385, to be paid via an Apple prepaid card. It all seems rather fishy and, as the saying goes, if it appears too good to be true, it probably is... 0208 123 9872.Keith WilliamsThomas JonesApple10 yearsToday I got a call from someone named Terrance Richie claiming to be from the London County Court despatch team about an accident claim I supposedly have. He said he need to organise collection of a cheque for £6700 and wanted me to pay £335 using iTunes cards. He said a courier called Eric Wisdom would bring the cheque. This has got scam written all over it. I spoke to my lawyer who is now looking into it. Planning to report this to the fraud unit and the police as well.Terrance RichieLondon County CourtEric Wisdom10 yearsI received a rather dubious call from the number 02081239872, supposedly from a chap named Joseph Botha, who had quite an accent that seemed Asian. He claimed to be calling from the London county court, informing me that a cheque for £3200 regarding missold PPI was on its way to me via special delivery. However, the catch was that I needed to fork out £225 for Paysafe vouchers as their fee before anything could be processed. It’s a complete con, so be cautious and don’t fall for it!Joseph BothaLondonPaysafe10 yearsThey rang me about an accident claim saying I owed £6700. This company, calling themselves The Dispatch Team London County Court, seemed to know a bit about me. The guy, Keith, said they’d sent me two letters and asked if I’d changed address. I said no, then he went on that my claim’s been settled and they want to send me a cheque. When I tried calling back, everyone had a strange foreign accent. Don’t fall for this - your own solicitor will always let you know if your case has been sorted.KeithThe Dispatch TeamLondon CountyCourt10 yearsThey really underestimated me, I was way too sharp for their tricks.10 yearsHello there, I’m Abdul Careem. Just a quick question-if I were to receive a voucher, would it be possible to obtain it by tomorrow? I’d appreciate a call regarding this matter. Cheers!Abdul Careem10 yearsSomeone rang me saying I needed to pick up some money vouchers from a store and mentioned I’d receive a cheque. Sounds like a cheque scam to me, I’m reporting it to the police!10 yearsA bloke named Steve rang me, claiming he was with the Dispatch Team at Central County Court London. He said I had a cheque for £4,200 related to a car crash from 2012. When I asked him for the car’s registration, he told me it was an X reg. I’ve never owned a car with an X reg, so I just hung up. Later, he phoned my home number and left the same message. Definitely don’t answer them. I'm going to report this lot.SteveDispatch TeamCentral County CourtLondon10 yearsMartin Mathew and Richard Thomas - both from India/Asia background. They tried to offer me a cheque about an old accident. Totally fake. Best to report them to 101.Martin MathewRichard Thomas10 yearsSTEER CLEAR OF THIS NUMBER! I had a rather dodgy chap, seemingly named Martin Matthews, with a thick Indian accent, trying to sweet-talk me into giving him my address so he could ‘send’ me some money. It’s all a scam, I tell you! Complete nonsense!Martin Matthews10 years0208123 9872 TOTAL SCAM!! A bloke named Karl White rang me saying ive got a £6200 cheque ready to be sent to me. I remembered a crash i had years ago so i got excited thinking they were for that! He said theres no fees or anything, the cheque was sent out but to my old address. On the next call he told me i had to buy PAYsafe vouchers for £210 as a 5% fee for processing. This is a proper scam, luckily i didnt get tricked at all, thank god!Karl White10 yearsBlock this number right away, it’s a scam!! He wanted me to buy a £210 voucher so I could supposedly cash a £4,200 cheque from an accident I never had. Claimed his name was Martin Matthew, but from his accent, he sounded Asian, probably Indian. He also mentioned some bloke called Anthony Page would come with my cheque, and I’d need to sign some documents! Suspicious, I rang the London Central County Court and they confirmed it’s a FRAUD! I’d recommend reporting this to the police so they can track down this CON ARTIST!!Martin MatthewAnthony PageLondon Central County Court10 yearsGot a call tonight from this bloke with an Asian accent, he knew my name, where I live and even my bank. Kept saying he was from the London County Court trying to send me a cheque for £5000 about some PPI and loan I supposedly took years ago. Total scam, I never even had a loan! I asked for a contact number and more info about the loan, but Martin - the dude who was really hard to understand - just said he’d ring me back.London County CourtMartin10 yearsI just received a phone call from a chap named Carl White, who insisted that he had £4500 awaiting me from an RBS credit card. To my surprise, he seemed to know all the right answers, which had me convinced for a moment. However, upon visiting my local pay point shop, they quickly enlightened me about the scam. What a relief to find out before I fell for it!Carl WhiteRBS10 yearsthis bloke keeps ringing our place all the time from 02081239872. he keeps banging on about the same stuff, london county court or some ppi thing. said we owes about £5300. he got my husband on the phone for ages, like half an hour, trying to make him pay through some paypoint thing. he also claimed he’d call devon county council and speak to a woman about a cheque, whatever that means. surely something can be done to stop these scammers, some elderly folks might fall for this rubbish. 27London County CourtPPIDevon County Council10 yearsGot a call from a guy named Carl White, claiming he was from the dispatch team at the central county court in London. He said I was due £5400 from a PPI claim related to a mortgage I supposedly paid off back in 2010. Problem is, I never made any claim and definitely didn’t pay off any mortgage that year. Total con, popping up and pestering folks from South Asia, really frustrating.Carl WhiteCentral County CourtLondon10 yearsThey claimed to be associated with the High Court in London and insisted they needed certain details to facilitate the delivery of our Jaguar. How perplexing!High CourtLondonJaguar10 yearsSomeone rang my mum, who’s got early dementia, trying to convince her to buy some save vouchers. I really hope she didn’t end up giving them her address.10 yearsSome bloke rang me today claiming he has a cheque from an accident I supposedly had back in 2012. I never had any accident that year, so I told him he was just a con artist and that the cops would be onto him soon. He just laughed and then started being really rude down the phone. He also said he was calling from the London County Court. I told him to take that cheque and go enjoy a holiday somewhere. Don’t buy anything he’s saying, it’s all a scam and a trick.LondonCounty Court10 yearsGot a call from 0208 123 9872, same as others have said. A bloke called Richard Thomas said he was from a dispatch team and that I had a cheque for £4700 for PPI compensation. Then he asked me to buy three Paysafe vouchers worth £235 in total, saying a courier called Eric Wisdom would bring the cheque to me personally. After checking online, it’s clearly a scam, and folks should watch out. This happened around 5:30 this evening, and I just got another call from the same number at 7:10 pm, but this time they mentioned some supposed accident.Richard ThomasEric Wisdom10 yearsAbsolutely a sham! They’re pretending to be from the so-called Despatch Team of the Central County Court in London-an entity that simply doesn’t exist. Just a heads-up, the court has nothing to do with PPI claims. They’re trying to extort money from you upfront using UKASH vouchers. Don’t fall for it-it's clearly a trick!Despatch TeamCentral County CourtLondon10 yearsGot a cold call saying I’m owed £4700 for a ppi claim, but they insisted I pay £250 using ukash vouchers first. Complete con job as I never had any insurance on any loan. They claimed to be from the central county court london!! When I asked more questions, they said they were part of some government dispatch team! Absolute scam - hope loads more folks warn others about these scammers!Central County CourtLondon10 yearsGot a call saying there’s a cheque for £4000 from Lloyds and they want to drop it off at my house. Then tried to get me to get £250 in pay safe vouchers. Didn’t give them my address but if they keep pushing I’ll tell them to hang on while I call the police to check if they’re legit.Lloyds10 yearsSomeone phoned asking for our address so they could drop off a cheque of £4000 for an accident with a BMW that I never owned. I told them we’d moved, and then he gave me his number to call back.BMW10 yearsGot a call about dropping off a cheque. Told them i wasnt home.
