Scam/Fraud
18 Aug 2022
When called there is a recorded message in an American voice "Your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line and you will be transferred to the next available agent." Then plays muzak and cuts off. The same occurs with calls from 01797 740040 to 01797 740050 inclusive. This caller also used 02038 616385 and several other numbers which are now discontinued. It frequently changes the numbers from which it calls. Definitely fraudulent or scam calls.
