Robot sounding voice pretending to be from housing service
Asian man claiming to be from housing department, ended the call.
Asian caller claiming to be from the Housing department about the repair complaint that I allegedly made. I made no such complaint and so ended the call.
Highly suspect scam. Called asking about recent car accident. Claimed to be dealing with road traffic accident compensation. If you give a date for an accident you get put through to next level. Quite sophisticated- goes through at least 3 layers of handling- presumably increasing in level of experience on getting information from you.
