Unknown Caller

Called once a day for two weeks. All the previous times no-one there but this time it was a woman with a foreign accent . Had my name and the number of my van. Said it was about my 'claim for £4,800 for manufacturer's false emmissions data'. Told her I hadn't made a claim and asked to be taken off of her list.
