Number has come up a number of times however phone indicates it's a scam number so not answered.

Man with a very broad Asian accent (barely intelligible) asking repeatedly about online courses.

Accident claim line, legal assistance. First he said it was car then when I said it was ladder related he asked me to hold to speak to a manager. It’s getting worse.

Answered phone after about 4 rings and call disconnected when I spoke. Have now seen the other info for this number, so will block in my phone. Why can't something be done about this, surely this is what GDPR should have been used for!

As the previous review - Claimed they were calling about my recent legal issue, when I said I haven't had any they hung up. I suspect they are fishing for the caller to leak info about something (car, tax, etc) and they'll claim they are involved with whatever the issue was.

Did not answer. As others have said, continue to call from slightly different numbers over and over without leaving a message. Needs to be reported.
