    :hapfeet: Yes, really!!! :hapfeet:


    Just got a text message to tell me (for the nth time) I'm am owed £3350 for a PPI I took out (erm, when? Where?) and time is running out to claim!!!

    Please visit "gullible.com" ppinomore.com to claim ... plus, they "thanked" me :redface: How polite!!!

    *Looks in mirror to spot if I am as green as cabbage looking* :scratch:

    What PPI?? :noidea: I've never *had* any PPI! Nor have I registered my mobile number *with* any associated PPI's :mad: So, who the **** Downton Abbey, is selling my details "on the off chance"??? :mute:

    Feel a harassment issue coming on :th scifD36:

        Did they provide you with a premium rate number to contact?

          Scrung, they could provide me with a premium bond number, but I will *not* contact them :nonofinger:

          I also keep getting text messages to tell me they want to give me this PPI money owing to me. But it just goes to show how much they know as I use a company mobile and they don't even know my name let alone my where abouts!

            But, they shouldn't!!! :mad:

            I recall a number years back, I was sent some insurance bumph for the "over 70's" :hate-shocked: I actually contacted the company and queried *why* I was being sent this bumph when I was a few milestones short of their "requirements" to qualify!? The response was: oh they must have sent us the wrong database!

            What database? I haven't subscribed to any "database" :mad: All this began "before" we were offered a choice in it ... and that makes my blood boil! My body, my identity, my circumstance, my shopping habit or anything else of "mine", is *mine*; it is not for resale or purchase. Who one earth decided I was a commodity to be traded; slave trade, anyone??? :noidea:

            It could just be a random Phishing call.

              Oooooh! You got the same amount owing to you as I've got owing to me! They just text me on my company phone to tell me!

              Funny that, I've not had any PPI in well over a decade since I got shafted by them years ago.

                    I keep getting PPI ones too. But more often than that, I get told quite regularly that I can claim £3k for my recent accident. That's quite impressive compo for tapping my knee on a metal bar at work causing me to say 'ow you blogger' (or something like that). That's the only recent accident I can think of anyway.
