Hoax PPI Claim Scams SMS - PPI Insurance Claim Spam Text Messages

The hoax PPI claim scam text messages are still alive and kicking - this is one received this week. I replied to find out how much I was owed - bearing in mind I have never taken out PPI insurance.

The SMS text message reads:
We have been trying to contact you about your PPI claim, we still have £2308.34 in your name waiting to be sent to you. To get it sent out today reply PPI.

hoax ppi scam text PPI Insurance Claim Spam Text is 07747124749
The number sending PPI Insurance Claim Spam Text is 07747124749
The number sending PPI Insurance Claim Spam Text is 07747124749

It appears from the replies that any replies to this number are then sold on to various other PPI claim companies, a very dubious practice if they are obtaining leads gathered through deception like this.

Numbers used by the PPI claim companies to follow up on fake PPI claims are:

01625-665147
01902-371547
01902-371544
01902-440156
Companies operating in this way appear to be Ucall, Flame Communications

Flame Communications even placed a presentation online showing how great their spamming service was for generating leads that could produce £250,000 income from commission on PPI claims.

    I also received a similar txt message today saying" We have been trying to contact you regarding your PPI Claim, we now have details of how much you are due, just reply POST and we will send you a pack out". The number sending the message is +44 7857 528255.

    Initially I did not know what this was about and replied. Any one knows if there of a way to amend my stupid mistake???
