Ring me almost weekly of late claiming to have sent me paperwork for a pip claim I put in back in June. I have never taken out pip and certainly never tried to claim. Scarily they appear to know my name, landline number and address. Abrupt manner and quite rude at times. Keep telling them not to call.

They ring about three times every day, I usually ignore them but my elderly Mother answered a few days ago and they hassled her about 1980's PPI. Utter nonsense.

This number keeps calling, even though I'm ex-directory. Sometimes their side is 'dead' and then they call back again. Its PPI people trying to get me to make a claim. I have asked them to stop calling. They still call. Their telephone manner is VERY rude. Annoying people who I'd never use even if I did ever want to claim PPI (which I dont)

The phone rang at 12.51. I let it ring then dialled 1471 and it was this number (again). One thing I've noticed is they don't let it ring for very long. I never had PPI if that's what it is.

This number rung mid afternoon. I was upstairs up a ladder painting and didn't answer. If it's PPI it's a scam - I never had it and my name couldn't possibly be on any list.

They said my name was on a list of people owed ppi, and wanted my address so that they could send paperwork, but when I asked them 3 times what they thought my name was, they didn't say - just kept blustering, so I put phone down. Definitely phishing if you ask me.
