Why did I get a text message offering £3750 compensation?
Why did I get a text message saying “FREEMSG: Our records indicate you may be entitled to £3750 for the accident you had. To claim for free reply YES to this message. To opt out text STOP.”?
This is an un-related text message scam, and nothing to do with this website.
Reports of accidents added to the Stop-SMIDSY site are kept confidential and secure, you will not be contacted by anyone about the accident unless you explicitly ask for assistance from the CTC’s solicitors.
