Unknown as I only answer numbers from areas I know people. This is just another number in a very long list of now blocked numbers albeit I have a suspicion like many others there's a lot of variables of these numbers. My advice do what I do.

They have been calling me once a day for the past 2 months telling me I can claim the car finance that I overpaid. I don’t own a car so obviously I have never paid car finance. Keep them on the phone for as long as you can so they have less time to scam others!!!🙏🏼
They tried to say i owed them money for car finance which i do not
They asked me about my car finances saying I hadn’t paid them, while I do not . Own a car
