The claim game

My partner has received a text offering to get her £3,750 for her recent accident. She has not had an accident. You advised your readers to report these people to casework@ico.gsi.gov.uk I did eventually contact the ICO to complain. After I had spoken to them they told me that they did not need anymore evidence as they had enough already.
