called regarding car finance. Wanted to send a verification text to me and told me that I could be awarded £700. I am currently claiming directly with the car finance company and questioned that they wouldnt go through a third party for verification. I asked them where they were based and he said UK but wouldnt tell me where abouts. I asked him to post the info to me - he was agitated and he eventually hung up.
