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.

447860035847 Debt Collector capquest (claimed)

A text message from this number mentioned Capquest, but attempting to follow the link led to a dead end, as it required a reference number to proceed, which seems suspicious, and calling the number resulted in an unrecognised tone, suggesting it's safer to bar the number as genuine debt collectors would typically send letters.
