Left a blank message, I assume it's an automated system as it called at exactly 2pm.

PPI refund chasers. They put the phone down on you if you actually take the call and start to ask them how to get removed from their system. Been trying to get rid of them for 2 years, their system 'apparently' gives you the option to 'opt out' by dialling 9 at the end of their message but it doesn't actually activate anything, just a falsification so they look responsible.

Tries to tell me that I have failed to file my claim. What claim? Just another scam line. Just answer it and time waste so they earn no money.
