Thanks!!:( Why not send the text to your local police station attaching your name and address and see how long it takes them to come knocking down your door, hey presto you can then report it to them , this way saves you the bus fare to local cop shop, please let us all know how you go on:copper::copper::flatcap::feret:

Thanks!!:(i have them all the time m8, i don't think it's a scam, your mobile details are sold on to hundreds of company's and they contact you in the hope that you will contact them back and then they will take up your ppi miss selling case, and if you are entitled to claim back money they try to get it for you and take a percentage of the payout:wink: in some cases this can run into thousands, i have a company representing me at the moment to try and claim back compensation for mortgage miss selling:wink:
