82PPI as you'd expect. I blocked the number on my mobile phone.
callers cant appreciate the words F*** O**!!!
Everyone be aware. Checked out this number (0161839300) it is a total SCAM. People trying to CON you into giving Bank details.
This number sent me a text telling me that I had a missed call from them. It was in exactly the same format as the texts I receive when I genuinely miss a call. However when I checked my call log there was no missed call, they had just sent me the text. I presume they get loads of call backs from people due to this. How unscrupulous. But for the fact that I check all phone numbers before contacting because I'm very suspicious of everyone,and I came across these reports, I might have been duped into phoning them. Disgusting.
At least weekly calls to my mobile. As I don't answer them, they show up as 'missed calls'. No messages are left.
Woman trying to sell me a loan to pay off my PPI. She wouldn't take no for an answer. Good thing about iphones is that you can block these numbers.
Rude aggressive manner Reece! Yes we know what PPI is and no we don't want to use your back street call centre!
I never answer numbers I do not recognise - I check the number after - if no mex left. Thanks a lot! Now blocked this number. Great service! :)
Spammer, just block them!
Rang me everyday for about 2 week's, I finally picked up told him not interseted ccos I have health and stress issues ( that he has made flare back up ) really angry right now !!!!!!
PPI Yet again
PPI spammers.
Ppi harassment
Asked me to meet him in Gay Lane at 6pm. Told him I was to busy with my bondage class.
My colleagues & I have competitions. We press answer on our phones,don't say anything then leave them on the desk and wait to see which fools stay on the line the longest. Great fun...
Was rang by this number today about PPI, Already had my details,number,address dob etc. Asked about credit cards/mortgage I'd had over the last 26 yrs, said they were sending me forms to fill in, will be going straight in the bin!
They called me today asking which bank I was with and I said no to all of them she kept naming banks and every time I said no she said "fantastic" or "brilliant"
called me on my mobile, luckily my Samsung S7 , tells me when a call is a spam or fraud,so i just cut it off !! Thank you Samsung !
Glad I saw this as it saved me digging around looking for who they are. They rang my iphone and I have now blocked the caller so they can't ring again. Honestly I thought all these PPI calls were supposed to be gone by now.
Tried to bum me
I had a missed call from them today but thanks to all the reports here i will be blocking that number.
Called and started talking about PPI claim. When I told him I didn't need a claim and could he remove me from his database, he continued talking. I put my phone on mute and was going to leave it to one side, which he must have assumed was me hanging up - next thing said was 'well put the effing phone down on me then' before he cut me off. I'm now getting several PPI calls a day, and have been for the last couple of weeks - how do I get off their lists? They clearly don't listen when I ask, they continue talking over me and trying to convince me they are doing a favour.
Asked if I wanted rewarding for PPI- never had it. She said "so your telling me..." And I put the phone down. If I want something I'll call myself
just received a call, they wanted to help me with a claim?? I don't have any claim, put the phone down and blocked!!!
PPI call. Very aggressive. Won't listen even when you say you've not taken out a loan so can't have been mis-sold PPI. Hung up and he rang straight back!!!
Had a call from this number today, Jan 20th 2016.
Aggressive, harassing, illegal PPI calling. Block their number and report them. These people should be in jail.
Gave them a nasty surprise. Replied to every thing this guy said in made up Russian. He started getting very flustered. He hung up on me. They haven't called back since.
Yet another unsolicited call about PPI. very persistent lady tried talking over the top of everything I said. Would'nt take no for answer. had no option but to cancel call.
Another pain in the proverbial
19 times in a week. So I decided to tell them that this number belongs to MI5. Asked them how they got this number as this is a government number. He hung up. What a shame.
DO NOT ANSWER THIS NUMBER it's a scam BLOCK IT AdamK is stupid enough to admit he works for them
Said they were from Help your claim.. I just said go away and i hung up
Was contacted by this number on my mobile regarding reclaiming PPI. Excessive background noise from other telemarketers doing the same. These people are parasites preying on easy targets such as the banks who did not all miss-sell the product.
Rings far too often on my mobile, sometimes 6-7 times a day. I can't answer it at work, meaning at the end of the day it looks like an emergency is happening with all the missed calls on there!
Based on other comments- checked this number and sure enough it was from a telemarketer from help Your Claim. very noisy background (sounded like he was calling from a pub)
Very aggressive person trying to deal with a PPI claim on my behalf. I informed him I had already done it myself and he would not stop trying to get me to sign up. I asked what part of No did he not understand and eventually had to put the phone down on him
The person who called didn't state name of company. I avoided inquiring about the company and then asked the guy's view on bankruptcy. Usually they put the phone down on that. However that guy was smart (and rude) he asked if I ever have had ever been bankrupt and claimed he could help but he talked really fast non stop so I went straight to the point "look, you want my credit card details" he evaded my comment and quickly spoke trying to get me enticed by his fraud. I told him firmly I rather do not discuss business on the phone, nothing he said applied to me so he should therefore go onto another random number on his screen. The conversation ended there. So with this, it's best to be polite but firm.
Trying to sell ppi or claiming it back - timewasters!
Received call from this number today just let the lady ramble on and waste her time. Kept telling her she was wasting her time but she was clearly not interested and kept harping on. Finally put he phone down.
They hung up when I said my Dob was yesterday.
Pretended to be a PPI enquiry truth is: Name: Euromark Menswear Ltd. Country: United Kingdom Region: England City: Manchester Postal code: M4 4JR Address: 14-16 Rochdale Road , M4 4JR Phones: 0161 839 2300 Several CCJ's against him Has about £58K in assets He is not the only one who can do research I even know his wife's named and kids
5 times over 2 days. Nuisance.
Just put the phone on the table and let them ramle on. Checked back later and they'd gone ;o)
Was very polite to the agressive man and in the nicest voice possible that "I have not had an injury and would he mind pi$$ing off please." said very nicely. I put the phone down whilst he was spluttering as he didn't know what to say.
Rude People wanting to ask me about PPI. I've reported the number to the Information Commissioners Office via their online form and would encourage others to do the same: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/marketing/22/
after i put the phone down he rang back this time i did not answer. A total rude and arrogant man.number now logged in my phone as a harassment call/
It was a PPI call and he became quite rude. When I ended the call he then called me back just to annoy me. Pity Offcom cannot close down these people!
PPI claim call
This number called my mobile today. I did not answer. I have not given my number out to any company. I have read the comments here. I am grateful for this information and will now block them from calling me again.
