Bike Insurance

Hope somebody may be able to help.

I've received 3 text messages this morning asking to contact a company called Bike Insure.

The text messages advised that my Bike Insurance is due for renewal and gave some prices for me along with a reference number to quote.

My concern is that I have never owned a bike!!

I have contacted the company on the freephone number in the text and all they can advise is that they will remove my mobile number from their system.

They are unable to advise if anybody has taken out Bike Insurance in my name.

How do I now leave this?

    Probably they have made a mistake in their database and got a customer's number down wrong.

    No point spending any more time over it - there's no downside for you.

    I sometimes put in false numbers when I don't want to be contacted.
    Usually I use 01234 567890

    Maybe someone put in your number as a pure fluke.
