01612508116 calling from india offerring ppi rebate

the number 01612508116 keeps calling me calling themselves ppi repay. I have no ppi to reclaim and actually work in the finance industry dealing with the financial ombudsman service. I asked them for their Ministry of Justice number which they gave as CRM5672 this is Claims Advisory Groups number. The PPI repay is not a registered trading name of theres and this is simply CAG using an indian call centre to drum up business. I asked for my number to be removed and it wasnt they wont say how i got my number and CAG deny all knowledge. If this happens to you got to the FOS and log a complaint against the Claims Advisory Group.

    I know whats it like. I'm an IFA and I get the cold calls too. One scam claims company told me that I could still put in a claim against myself (and I dont have PPI).
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    You need to complain to the MOJ (and possibly the Information Commissioner) as FOS has no jurisdiction over them.
  • yes i realised this afternoon that you're right the MOJ are the only people who should have jurisdiction over Claims Advisory Group.
  • Hi

    I'm getting a large number of cold calls too and I don't have, nor have ever had, any products with PPI. I'm on TPS so can only imagine they are overseas calls; however, I was working from home last week and received several automated messages saying that since the PPI review all banks must 'automatically' repay all PPi premiums. I know this is far from true however these messages have come through on a number witheld so no way of knowing who it is or reporting it. I was almost temped to press the number to get through to an agent but was concerned this would generate more calls etc

  • Hi, I've just had a call from this number and I'm not sure if I should do anything? I see here you're talking about reporting them to different places? If I ignore it will they just keep phoning?

    Thanks!

    They are simply phone pests, like those idiots who phone about mystery prizes. I find the most effective way is to tell them I've already claimed so there's no profit for them.
  • I had a call from this number (01612508116) today on my mobile saying they were from a magazine and were wanting to offer me a free conservatory in return for pictures of my house being shown in their magazine. I am also on TPS so these calls are more than annoying.
