What Our Users Reviewed
Similar numbers to this have been calling for a couple of weeks. I don't normally answer them. I have blocked them but then they just alter slightly and keep calling. This time they left a message. It asked to translate to English or Chinese. I didn't nominate but the text came up as garbled English. Nothing that made sense. I didn't play the voicemail. I reported as spam and deleted.
