01224042972 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01224042972 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number primarily linked to fraudulent car accident and motor insurance claims. Callers often attempt to deceive recipients into discussing fictitious accidents, sometimes knowing the victim’s name, but no genuine incidents exist. The number uses an Aberdeen area code, potentially confusing locals and increasing answer rates. Many users report no messages left, frequent hang-ups, and automated blocking by mobile providers. It poses as legitimate insurance staff but exhibits clear scam traits, including targeting people without vehicles or driving licences.

On the 3rd of Jan, I got a call from this number on my phone, but they didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. After checking some reviews about the number, I decided to block and remove it. Bit annoying honestly 😑

Got a call about some car crash that never happened, definitely a scam. I usually tell them straight up there's no way I've been in an accident. Most times they just hang up before I can even get properly annoyed with them.

My phone kept ringing a couple of times but then just stopped before I could even pick up. The number was from Aberdeen, Scotland, which I have no connection with whatsoever. I wouldn’t have bothered answering it anyway. It definitely seemed like a dodgy scam call, so I’ve now blocked the number.

Left my phone at home and missed a ring from this number. I do have a few mates up in Aberdeen, but I’m not sure why they’d be phoning me now, so I had a look on here. Seems like this number was off for half a year but has been reactivated recently, probably counting on folks not remembering it.

Saw the number but didn’t pick up since I didn’t know who it was.

They started by saying my name and then brought up a car crash. I was ready to keep the chat going with some "uh-huh" replies, but they just cut me off and ended the call.

Phone buzzed and I caught about three rings before realising it was Aberdeen or somewhere like that, so I didn’t pick up. No voicemail left or anything. Had a quick look here, saw others had mentioned it too, so I’m gonna block the number now.

I received a rather peculiar call from these con artists claiming I was involved in a car crash. Quite ridiculous, really, as I haven’t even acquired my driving licence yet!

Insurance claims resulting from car accidents are nothing short of a sham.

I think 01224042972 is one of those dodgy accident scam callers. Stay clear!

I’m not great at spotting numbers at a glance, and the first part of this call, 01224, looks so close to my local landline code, which is 01229. So, I picked up thinking it was a local call and all good. But nope, it was one of those scammy ones: a guy with a thick accent claiming to be from ‘Auto-something’ and talking about a car crash I never had. Just a heads up to everyone - watch out for numbers that almost match your local area code, they’re getting sneaky with that now! This is the first scam call I’ve had that’s pulled that trick on me.

Called me just now but there was no one there when I answered.

Got a call from someone saying they were from ‘MAU’ about a crash I had in my car a bit ago. They wanted to talk about the accident but I wasn’t sure if it was legit or just some scam. Anyone else been contacted by ‘MAU’ after an accident? Bit confused about what this is all about.
