Is anybody else getting text messages telling them they could be due £3,750 compensation for an accident claim they filed?

Robbie has had two of these in the last few days, obviously she is ignoring them, but we wondered whether it is a general thing.

Also, is there somewhere to report the phone number from which they are being sent?

Cheers

Ian

My wife and I have both had this message and we're both on Orange, so it's not just Vodaphone and Tesco. Didn't respond to it, even though I did have a crash 3 years ago.

If anyone really wanted to fight a claim like that on my behalf, I'm sure they'd call and want to speak to me, not just send a text message. And then I'd ask for more details to check up before proceeding anyway, but the whole scenario is unlikely.
