Told me my claim has been approved, I asked what claim and the answer was unintelligible. Mumbled some more and then asked to get a pen and paper to take down details of my claim. I played along but, after I said I was ready there was a five second silence followed by some more mumbling and he hung up. I would liked to have wasted more of his time but never mind. Undoubtedly a scam, probably along the lines of others re car loan refunds.
Call came in but no one on the other end.
They hung up before I answered
They just hang up, I’m not calling back as likely a scam. But it’s constant all times of the day.
