Scam/Fraud
01 Aug 2025
Said they are doing PPC claims on vehicle finance. Said they for my number from a third party referrer so it is GDPR compliant. Couldn't give me any details on who the referral was from and didn't know how to respond when I then stated that this was not GDPR compliant and my phone number is on the TPS do not call list. Complete scam. Don't answer if they call you
