BEWARE 2

Ignore any cold callers claiming to be from the Association of British Insurers.

These scammers are trying to drum up clients for unscrupulous compo-chasing firms.

“Any cold callers saying they are connected with the ABI are cowboys trying to scam honest people into making a fake claim,” said a spokesman for the Association.

There are more than 750 personal injury claims management companies in the UK.

Since April 2017, the Claims Management Regulator has cancelled 69 licences – that’s more than 9% of the total.
