Capquest texts: how to spot a debt‑collection scam!

Expert Opinion
These messages are unmistakably a debt‑collection scam targeting unsuspecting callers. They repeatedly cite the name of a legitimate agency, address strangers by the wrong first‑name and demand birth‑date, postcode or bank details – classic identity‑theft bait. The tone is aggressive, flaunting impossible discounts or threatening legal action to force a hurried reply. If you get such a text, do not reply or click any link; instead block the number, save the message and report it to Action Fraud or your mobile provider. Verify any real debt only by contacting the creditor via a number on an official letter, never the one in the SMS.

A text message was received claiming to be from CapQuest, offering a reduced settlement fee, but this appears to be a scam as the company would not risk being reported to the financial ombudsman.

For over a year, I've been harassed by Capquest, who own this number, about a debt that isn't mine; I've never taken out a loan
Received threatening texts from Capquest. Not my name and I have no debts, how is it possible, despite blocking them, that they continue to text me! Sick of this company!
Fraud squad has been notified, as Capquest persistently bothers me regarding a woman's debt, despite me being male! They infringe upon data protection laws by mentioning her name in every message. I have repeatedly deleted and blocked their numbers, yet they continue to contact me. My next move will involve reporting them to the authorities, I’m fed up with their nonsense!
