A few days ago, we received a text from 07848197866 claiming we might qualify for a £3,950 rebate. They instructed us to ring 08442840485. I've not given them a call just yet, as I wanted to do a bit of snooping online first. Here's hoping someone puts a stop to these nuisances!

A complete scam to get your cash.

I’ve just had a similar experience to everyone else on this thread. The number 08442840485 reached out to me, and I can confirm we’ve never taken any loans either. Apparently, we’re supposed to owe them £3,800! Who are these individuals, and how on earth did they manage to get our contact details? With all the folks they're trying to con, I'm quite convinced that this number won’t be in circulation for much longer!

I've had just about enough of those spammy nuisances! It's high time we put an end to their antics!

Heads up! It seems that according to my files, you could be eligible for a refund of £3,700 related to that Mis-Sold Loan Insurance. If you're interested in making a claim, just respond with YES to this message right away or give a bell to 08442840485. To be honest, it's best to steer clear and not respond to any calls or texts about this. Just delete this and move on!

We've received a similar text message, claiming: "Free message: Important! My records suggest you might be entitled to £3650 due to Mis-Sold Loan Insurance! To claim, simply reply YES to this message or call 08442840485." It’s clear as day that this is a scam, as matters like this wouldn’t be sorted out via a text! The number that sent the message is +447848420087. We really hope these numbers get investigated. Cheers for your help!

I recently received a text from this number (+447848804559), claiming that I was wrongly sold loan insurance amounting to £3,850.

I’ve just received a text from +447413228618 that reads: "Free Message: Important! My records suggest you might be eligible for £3900 due to mis-sold loan insurance! To claim, simply reply with YES to this message. Cheers!" Honestly, it’s astounding that anyone would fall for such a scam. But I can't help but wonder, how on earth did they get hold of our numbers? Has anyone ever had the urge to confront these con artists and let them know exactly what they think of their dodgy tactics?

Sales of compensation are completely illegal and infringe upon UK compensation regulations, carrying penalties that could reach £1,000,000 and possibly a two-year prison sentence. If you come across any such activities, I strongly urge you to report these schemes, providing any details you have, to the claims regulator at the official government website. Many thanks!

Whenever we receive messages similar to these, our first instinct is to look them up here. Especially since the individuals behind them tend to make some rather absurd assertions! If only we could respond to them in the same manner!

Seems like a bit of a scammer-might be trying to offload some dodgy loan cash.

I've just received a dodgy text message concerning loan insurance. It’s utterly frustrating! What on earth can be done to put a stop to these nuisance merchants?

I recently received a message from +447848418935 suggesting that I might be eligible for some funds related to a mis-sold loan, urging me to call 08442840485. It’s glaringly clear that this is a scam. I'm curious about the steps I can take in response to this. Is there an appropriate channel for lodging a complaint? It seems the TPS isn't very responsive to unsolicited texts. Would it be worth pursuing an investigation into the individuals behind these numbers?

Received a text from 0784837775210 on 8th February 2011 at 10:52: "Free message: Important! Our records suggest you might be eligible for £3500 due to mis-sold loan insurance. To make a claim, please reply YES to this message now or call 08442840485." Just to clarify, we've never had any loan insurance, and our attempts to trace this company using saynoto0870.com have proven fruitless. We'd recommend dismissing this as a scam and deleting the message.
