So irritating, I have no clue where they got my number from!
11 years
Every day they ring me non stop, but I just don’t pick up. It’s so irritating!
11 years
Just like what others have said, they ended the call abruptly. I'm not picking up if they ring again.
11 years
I reckon this is dodgy. They want you to ring them back, and you could end up getting charged for the call.

This number has rung me loads, but I never pick up. A while ago, some company kept bothering me about an accident I supposedly had, which is completely untrue. I thought it had ended after one bloke promised to take me off their list, but obviously I'm still getting contacted. The calls come through both on my mobile and my home phone.

Can anyone tell me who just rang?

Picked up the phone, ready for a natter, but alas, met with nothing but silence. It was a rather lacklustre experience, feeling like I was talking to myself, which offered little in the way of enjoyment. On my return to my desk after this rather odd encounter, I found myself with a small electric jolt, leaving me to ponder whether my shoes are the culprits. If they happen to ring me again, I might just hold them responsible and inquire if they have the number for a decent solicitor! - Caller: Quiet Quentin / Speechless Sarah

I too had the misfortune of getting a call from these jokers. Their spiel was identical to what others have mentioned. When I inquired if they were dealing with accident claims, they confirmed that they were. I simply said, "Right, goodbye," and cut the line. I've now added their number to my blocked contacts, so fingers crossed that I won’t be hearing from them again!

Calls from unknown numbers I don’t recognise are usually just a pain. I just let it go to voicemail and ignore it.

This number rang me, but thankfully I wasn’t able to pick up before the call ended.

I got a call from this number today and picked up, but there was no one on t'other end. Just a weird beep noise before it hung up on me.
11 years
I warned them that if they kept ringing me up, something bad was bound to happen!

Good thing I was working when they rang me this morning. I've blocked the number now so they can't get through again.

I get these annoying calls like 5 times daily. As soon as you pick up once, they seem to realise your number is live and then just keep bombarding you nonstop. Proper nuisance if you ask me.
11 years
I just kept silent the whole time so they’d get bored and end the call from the weird silence.

Got a call from some car accident company who said I’d been in a crash. I told them I don’t even drive. Then they started asking if I knew anyone, like friends or family, who might have been in an accident. Proper weird!

Honestly, I've told these lot ages ago to quit calling me but they just keep at it. What a nightmare!

Received a call from this number today, but I decided not to answer since it didn’t ring any bells. I did some digging and stumbled across this site. - number: 01229208160

I just got a call from this number but opted not to pick up since it was unfamiliar to me. After perusing some earlier comments, I realised I haven't had any recent accidents or filed any claims, so I'm completely baffled as to how they ended up with my details. - caller: 01229208160

It seems I'm now known as Mr. Powers, as I received a rather peculiar call from 01229 208160 claiming I’d been in an accident in Barking. Quite amusing, really, as I’ve never set foot there! I told the chap to shove off, only for him to insist that 'someone had ticked a box.' Utter nonsense, if you ask me. I firmly instructed him to "paddle off" before terminating the call. I've promptly added this number to my block list. #NUISANCES #FRAUDSTERS - caller: 01229 308160

Got a voicemail from a firm called First Contact asking me to ring a different number if I wanted to take my name off their list. Didn't bother calling back, seemed like it would be one of those expensive premium lines for sure.

Accident compensation calls - I've taken to disregarding them entirely now. The number's 01229208160, by the way.

I've just received a call from this number discussing an incident I supposedly endured in the past three years. The truth is, there’s been no accident or claim whatsoever. They then went on to inquire if anyone else might be covered under my insurance. Well, the reality is, I don't even have any insurance policy in place!

I picked up a call, only for them to cut off abruptly. Very odd!

I had this persistent number ringing me for over a week with no luck in reaching them. So, while at work, I thought I’d take the plunge and pick up. On the other end was a chap named ‘Karl’ claiming to be with ‘First Contact’, an outfit that works alongside solicitors and legal firms. He mentioned he had records indicating I had filed a claim regarding my car's damage. I promptly informed him that I don’t drive and have never owned a car-unless we’re counting the pink cardboard bus I crafted for a primary school play, now gathering dust in the attic. I told him I was even considering declaring it SORN since it’s hardly roadworthy anymore! I also firmly asked him to remove my number from their database, warning that if they dared to ring me again, I’d be contacting the authorities. After a rather awkward pause, he apologised and swiftly hung up. What a right laugh! - caller: 'First Contact'

Today, I received a phone call from this number, and the chap on the other end droned on about a car crash I supposedly had a hand in. It's quite baffling really, as I've been accident-free for the past six years-no clue where he dug up that nonsense. When I insisted he stop calling me every day, he took a rather hostile tone. I warned him I’d involve the authorities, but he just kept yelling. I had no choice but to hang up on him. What a total muppet. - caller: 01229208160

I recently received a call from an outfit claiming that I'd been part of a minor car crash over the past three years. I was taken aback and asked him to repeat himself, as it sounded quite strange. He clarified that he was reaching out to inquire whether I had been at fault in an accident during that time frame. It’s peculiar because I had a similar phone call just a few weeks ago; one time they claimed I was involved in an accident, and the next they suggested I caused one. The caller identified himself as being from First Contact.

I received a call from that number, and honestly, what a peculiar conversation it was! The chap on the other end was rather unclear, especially after he specifically asked for me by name. When I mentioned that I hadn’t been involved in an accident, he then queried if anyone else in my household had. I found it a bit baffling, as it was he who had initiated the call and requested to speak to me directly! I told him he mustn't speak to me as if I were a child, to which he retorted about not wanting to be spoken to in such a manner. I firmly told him not to bother calling me again, and he assured me he’d remove my details from their system. Yet, lo and behold, I’ve just noticed another missed call from them. Will this incessant harassment ever cease? - caller: 01229208160

Someone phoned me out of the blue - thankfully, I haven’t been in any accidents at all yet! Cold calls really catch you off guard sometimes.

Received a call from that same number earlier today, and they were probing for information regarding "my recent injury from a car accident." Quite amusing really, since I don’t even have a driving license and have never been in an accident! Definitely some dodgy legal claims con artists on the line.

I received one of those annoying calls that just goes round in circles.
