Received a message from this number requesting I upload a photo of my passport or driving licence to continue. I questioned the need, noting I hadn't supplied such documents when obtaining the loan, and warned it could enable identity theft. They offered a phone discussion if desired.
My Claim Group texts – is it a scam?
Summary — +447700169407
Expert Opinion
Calls from +447700169407 are almost always linked to messages that claim to be from My Claim Group and ask you to upload a passport or driving licence to process an alleged insurance or finance claim. In most reports the texts arrive early in the morning, use your first name and provide a link rather than a land‑line. Treat any request for personal ID via an SMS link as a potential scam – verify the story by calling the company on a number you find on their official website, not the one in the message. Delete the link, block the number and report it to the Information Commissioner’s Office or your bank if you’ve already shared details.
