Users are advised not to share personal information, to report such calls, and to remain vigilant against this common and well-documented scam.

So this person rang up saying they need me to pay £199 to keep their subscription going. They insisted they already had all the subscription info sorted.

I've received loads of scam calls from this number and others like it, especially right after I've put up ads on GUMTREE. They try to tell me or say someone I know was in a car crash recently, like within the past few years. The callers usually have Asian accents and get really hostile and rude if you call them out on it, even threatening you.

Got calls about some accident but they hadn’t even got my name right, total muppets. These numpties wouldn’t stop ringing me for days on end, proper annoying! - caller: tossers

Someone just rang me up saying there’d been an accident, which is news to me since nothing happened. They didn’t even bother to ask my name or anything. Pretty odd!

Hey, have you ever thought about getting a motorbike? They’re such a blast to ride!

I put up a listing on Gumtree, and now I keep getting calls about being involved in a car crash. I actually ride a bike, so it seems dodgy to me. I usually end the call before they say too much. Pretty sure it’s some kind of scam.

The number 0121 318 8831 keeps ringing me and honestly, is it too much to ask for these annoying calls to be blocked or something? It’s really risky, especially when you’re focusing on driving or sitting in important meetings. It’s just so frustrating!

I put up a listing on Gumtree and pretty quickly my phone was flooded with calls from people talking about a crash that I honestly have no clue about.

That bloke on the wagon? Absolute nightmare.

Whenever I put up an ad on Gumtree, I get these annoying calls. This guy, sounded like an Asian bloke, kept singing in some language I didn’t get. I had to say 'hello' a few times before he finally picked up properly. Didn’t make sense what he was on about, so I just ended up hanging up and blocked the number straight away.

They pretended to be from the Motor Insurance Bureau, but when I pointed out that their number wasn’t listed on the MIB site, they suddenly got really rude. Also, they started arguing a lot when I told them I wouldn’t share any personal info.

Got a call from some bloke pretending to be with the National Accident Claims Helpline, asking about an accident I supposedly had. I asked him which accident he meant, and he said one in the past two years. I told him I haven't had any accident in well over 15 years. Then he started accusing me of lying! Honestly, it's ridiculous. Since I put up an ad on Gumtree last night, I've had about seven dodgy calls today alone. This nonsense just won’t stop!

Lately I've been getting loads of those accident scam calls. Had quite a few over the last few weeks. I put a report in with Action Fraud through their phishing reporting site. Still, the cops probably won’t do much if it’s just one report. So honestly, you should report every scam call you get no matter what.

I posted a car for sale on Gumtree and almost right after, like two mins in, I started getting calls about some supposed accident. Since then, calls just keep coming non stop. Just so you know, I got a brand new sim card just for that ad, so there's no way these calls are from anywhere else since the number was never used before.

So I asked them once more where exactly they were calling from, and reminded them that my number's on the TPS list, so they really shouldn't be ringing me up out of the blue. Usually, that’s the point they just end the call!

I seem to get these calls about twice a week and honestly, I love turning the tables and making them lose their time instead of me. One time, I stretched out the chat for a good ten minutes before telling them a lorry hit me and I fell off the White Cliffs of Dover. When they asked if anyone got hurt, I said yeah, all eight people in the lorry died. Then they asked if I was okay and I told them yep, I got decapitated. Made me laugh so much!

Every couple of weeks, I get these annoying calls. I asked them to remove me from their contacts, but they just ignored it. Then I mentioned GDPR rules about not having my info without permission, but nothing changed. I also told them I’m signed up with the TPS, so they’re not meant to ring me, yet the calls keep coming.

Same old story about some crash I’ve never been part of.

For weeks now, I've been getting calls on my mobile every single day, but they never leave a message. Today, out of curiosity, I picked up and finally heard a voicemail from some guy with an Indian accent. He kept talking about compensation for an accident I haven’t been involved in for at least the past three years! Such a waste of time.

Got a call from one of those accident scams! As soon as I said yes to the automated voice, a man came on the line. He kept saying he was only double-checking info, but when I asked him where he was calling from and mentioned a few cities in India, he got a bit snappy. Then he said he was from Pakistan, which honestly made me chuckle!
