What People Report

My mistake is answering and receiving the hang up because it's now given a queue to these "crashed car", "solar panel", "microsoft infected", "commonwealth bank", etc scams at all hours of the day and night.

Request all your contacts leave a message or save their names. If it's a private number, it's likely safer than a number these cucklords use. I hate Indian people because of these scammers.
