    I have never received a text message about claiming compensation...

    Until I read this thread this morning and have since then received 2 identical messages from different numbers!

    Conspiracy???

    I've been getting those texts for a while now - seem to get around 2-3 a week at the moment. I've just been deleting them.

    The world's fastest talking man (Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis) says you should do this when you get these texts.
    |Kata: "Read title as 'fisting'. Not sure why I clicked. Relieved, really."|
    |TAKTAK: "It was so small that mine wouldn't fit into it"|

    Re: Anyone else getting this text message ?

    I've had a few lately. About accident compensation, some debt relief thing and one saying I had got a letter from the taxman

    What I do get alot of is recorded messages on the landline. The strangest one is some dalek saying " we are trying to contact Mrs Gloria Burns if this is you press 1"
