Scam and refused to remove my number…

Scam and refused to remove my number ... do not use this company!!!! Beware of a company with no reviews !!!! FYI if someone working for Money Advice Trust looks at this I was called @ 21/1/25 my numbers ends in 681 and if the call handler dealt with it better I would not be writing this review

★★ So I have been receiving multiple calls…

So I have been receiving multiple calls from this company sometimes twice a day.......I found them rude and they just put the phone down.....I'd imagine this is a foreign call centre as I had a Indian sounding guy who's name was John?
