Received a call from this number claiming I was owed a PPI rebate on an old mortgage. They couldn't provide any details about the mortgage or the company.

These individuals continually harassed an elderly woman, claiming she was owed money. They insisted they would come to her house with a cheque, but only if she provided £300 upfront. The situation appeared highly suspicious, with clear signs of a scam designed to exploit trust and vulnerability.
