"This was a Leicester dial code but the exact same person had called me a few minutes earlier on 01208530458, a Bodmin code! Said I had a big refund due and that I would get a text from R2Redress, which I did get with a link. I clicked on the link, it showed my name, address, date of birth, email and phone number and asked me to sign the last page. I stalled by saying I was filling in previous addresses (my car finance was years ago and not via my current address), but she got really shirty telling me I didn't need to fill that in, just to sign. So I then checked who R2Redress was via my iPad and disconnected the call before I got pushed into signing! SCAMMERS! I won't be answering any more calls from numbers I don't know, I have blocked and reported the numbers and will carry on doing so!"
