Don’t get caught out by new PPI scam

Individuals have been targeted by a company requesting payment by UKASH vouchers to release funds that may be owed to them.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said anyone who has an outstanding legitimate PPI claim should also be careful as the scam company appears to have knowledge of ongoing claims.
