07548249173 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 07548249173 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting UK residents with calls about bogus PPI claims, often quoting specific payout amounts around £1,800. Callers sometimes claim to represent HMRC or companies like "English Claims," employ aggressive or evasive tactics, and request sensitive information, including life insurance details, often linking false penalties to pressure victims. Many calls involve silent or dropped lines, unhelpful or suspicious responses, and attempts to trap recipients into costly premium rate callbacks. Reports highlight poor English, foreign accents, and the harassment of vulnerable individuals. The consensus is to avoid engaging, not disclose personal details, and block the number, as these calls aim to defraud by exploiting concerns over tax or compensation.

I got a missed call from this number earlier, so I decided to ring back. A bloke picked up and just said "hello." I told him, "Hey, you rang me earlier, I saw a missed call from this number." He then said, "No, you didn’t." I insisted, "Yes I did, it’s definitely on my missed calls." His reply was just, "If you say that." Then the call was cut off. Seems a bit sketchy, especially after reading other comments here.

Got a call from 07548 718343, some automatic American lady claiming to be from HMRC. She said I’d be arrested for tax evasion if I didn’t sort it out right away and told me to press 1. I just ended the call straight away, sounded like a total scam.

I got a call after I asked about insurance, they already have all my info. What’s the best way to handle this? They’re proper annoying!

What a bunch of con artists! Just told them I wasn’t keen and then out of nowhere they’re asking me to lend them £100 for Christmas! It’s only September for crying out loud. Seriously dodgy behaviour!!!

Got a call saying my PPI claim was successful, even though I’ve never had a loan or credit card in my life. When I told the bloke that, he just yelled "oh my god" and then just cut the line. Total scam.

They didn’t say anything when they rang, just stayed silent, but from what I’ve read here, it sounds like it’s probably one of those PPI scam calls again.

Got a call from some lady with an accent, telling me my PPI claim was approved. As soon as I asked for details, she just ended the call on me. Proper cheeky!

These slimy little pests are just lurking, trying to nick money from your bank. They don’t do any real work, just hideout somewhere shady, ringing you up on their mobiles to con you! Someone should gather those cheeky bugs and toss them right back where they came from.

Got a call from a woman asking if I’d ever submitted a PPI claim. Told her I didn’t recall, and she just ended the call straight away.

Got a call on my phone that showed up as 'missed call', then suddenly a voicemail notification popped up - classic scam move. Since the initial ring lasted no time at all, I doubt they actually left anything useful. Reading what others said about this number, these fraudsters seem to kick off with the whole PPI insurance claim spiel, then try to push you to call their ‘voicemail’ line, which I bet costs a fortune. Total con!

I got a call from English Claims saying I had some unclaimed PPI. Can you believe the amount? £1826! They said the only catch was taking out some life insurance with a hefty 40% penalty charge from the bank. Then they asked how I wanted the money, either by cheque or straight into my bank. I tried ringing their number back but it just wouldn't connect. Honestly, steer clear of these guys, they’re a total nightmare!

We got a call from English Claims offering £1826, which seemed a bit odd to me! The number was blocked. They asked if I preferred payment by cheque or directly into my bank account. I gave them my right address, but honestly, I wouldn’t trust them with my bank details. Something fishy going on there!

Took ages for him to say who he was when I asked, just kept saying James at first. Then he started going on with some nonsense. After I asked a few times, finally on the third try he said it was English Claims or something like that, but his accent was really dodgy. Proper suspicious if you ask me.

Got a call about some unclaimed PPI from last year, they said to avoid a 40% charge from the bank, I needed to provide my life insurance policy number for this year. They said I'd get £1826 paid directly into my account or a cheque sent over. Weirdly, it was the exact same sum they tried to offer me months ago, which I’d already figured was a scam back then. After the call ended suddenly, I tried ringing them back but couldn't get through at all.

When you pick up a PPI cold call, they usually waste ages before getting to the point. Just say you’re in an IVA and they’ll hang up straight away.

Got a cold call from English Claims about PPI. As soon as I mentioned I’m registered on the TPS list, they just cut the call.

I got a call about some PPI thing, something about life or house insurance, I can't quite remember. The person on the other end was pretty aggressive and honestly a bit rude. Didn’t enjoy the chat at all. Seems like they just wanted to push stuff on me without really listening. Total turn off.

Some random place i’ve never even come across called about supposed ppi. The bloke’s English was really bad so i just told him to get lost.

I answered the call and there was just dead silence for about 20 seconds, then it abruptly ended. I've decided to block that number now.

I got a call about a PPI claim I supposedly made back in November 2016, which was legit. They said I was owed more money. When I asked who they worked for, the lady told me the name. But as soon as I questioned why they were calling, she just ended the call. If you push back, they usually back down!

No clue who that was, just quiet on the other end.

Received a call about some PPI compensation, they claimed I was owed £1826. They then said they’d take a 40% cut unless I signed up for a life insurance policy lasting around 5 months while they sorted the payment. Basically, you pay for 5 months of cover and end up with no PPI at all. All this while I’ve never even had PPI in the first place. Total scam if you ask me!
