Call is ended immediately after being answered.

Been getting random calls from this number, found out it is ARC account recovery or something like that.  They are very harassing, call centre is probably in a third world country and judging from the way people have been treated their employees are all tea bagging apes.  Dont answer this number, ever.

ARC is based in victoria bc Canada and that's where they call from. They are harassing me over $100 in unpaid parking tickets. I have ignored them in the past for worse. Just ignore them. They can be abusive.
