If they are so convinced that is the case why don't they address us by name?
Because they don't know it in the first place.
All these texts are just random, hoping someone will contact them.
I delete them as fast as they come in.
I had a gentleman on the phone the other day from Microsoft Windows to tell me that my computer had a problem. I wasn't in the mood for talking so I just told him that I didn't have a computer.
He then told me in his best In-glish that I was "most mistaken" and that I certainly had a computer or a laptop. I just growled at him and hung up.
Usually I am civil but some times they really get on my nerves.
I was busy ignoring phone calls from someone "number with-held" during the week. They kept phoning. In the end (after a few days) I answered and snarled down the phone - it was my GP trying to get in touch with me about some test results. ;-)
Regards PPI, If the caller convinces you that you DO have monies to claim, do it yourself " easy" regards our brothers / sisters in India, if the caller takes a min or two to speak " that's your clue, put the phone down "easy"
i've had this text several times to my mobile and i know noone but work and family have the number. thing is it's deceptive as i have made a ppi claim but i am sure i didn;t give them my mobile number, but i also know they wouldn't word the text that way and i am sure they would use my name.
