Rang my mother (89) telling her she had to claim her refund today, or by law, the value of her refund would diminish. no specific details of the refund were given.
She tells me she regularly gets these calls and hangs up.

Sorry. Ignore neutral rating below! Hit send before rated!!! Called and the phone rang for ages. Must have been 30 or so rings. Very annoying. I didn't pick up the call as I've had too many nuisance calls lately but did 1471 and got the number.

Who is it ?

They called me with a pre-recorded massge claiming to be a tax refund thing. They said I should press 5 to continue or press 9 to unsubscribe. I have a feeling pressing either number would have cost me dearly.
