I didn't pick up and there was no voicemail either - probably just another scam call, looks like others have had the same experience judging by earlier reviews.

Got a call from a lady with a South African accent, said she was from the ‘Business Loss Covid 2020 Team’ but wouldn’t say which company or place she was representing. Sounds like a right dodgy scam to me.

I received a call from a lady who had a very pronounced Asian accent. She was keen to speak with the proprietor of the business but was quite elusive concerning any other details.

I phoned and asked if the person in charge was available, but they said he wasn’t there. They didn’t offer any more details.

Around half past four this afternoon, I got a call from a lady with a thick South African accent. She wanted to talk to the owner and claimed she was calling on behalf of the government about some kind of loss. When I pressed for details, she vaguely mentioned loss of income due to Covid but didn’t really explain what kind of loss. It sounded fishy to me, so I just told her it didn’t seem legit and ended the call.
