What Our Users Reviewed
No ideas of who is calling from this strange number not from my phone list, I so let it go and then blocked it straightaway!
This kind of calls were so annoying and disturbing to people. It should have a department to check what and why they can keep calling people and no punishments for them. Nobody likes it!
