So irritating, I have no clue where they got my number from!
12 years
Every day they ring me non stop, but I just don’t pick up. It’s so irritating!
12 years
Just like what others have said, they ended the call abruptly. I'm not picking up if they ring again.
12 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.
12 years
Can anyone tell me who just rang?
12 years
Picked up the phone ready for a natter, but there was no one talking back. The call was super short and just one sided, so I didn’t get much from it. Then, as I walked back to my desk after leaving the silent room, I got a small jolt from the floor. Might be down to my dodgy trainers, but if they ring again, I’m definitely joking about blaming them and maybe seeing if they know any good personal injury solicitors. - caller: Quiet Quinton / Mute Mary

I got a call from these idiots too, saying exactly the same things as everyone else here. I asked if they were about accident claims and they said yes straight away. I just said alright then, bye, and hung up. I've now blocked their number on my phone, so fingers crossed they stop bothering me.

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.
12 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.
12 years
I just kept silent the whole time so they’d get bored and end the call from the weird silence.
12 years
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!

I got a call from this number earlier, didn’t answer since I didn’t know who it was. Later, I decided to check the number and that’s how I ended up here. - caller: 01229208160

I got a missed call from this number but didn't pick up since it wasn’t familiar to me. After seeing what others have said, I’m pretty sure I haven’t been in any accident or filed any claim, so I’m clueless how they got hold of my digits. - caller: 01229208160

So, just got a call from 01229 208160, and they're going on about some accident in Barking where apparently I'm Mr. Powers. Never been anywhere near Barking in my life! Told the person to shove off because it was total rubbish. The caller then said something about someone ticking a box or whatever... complete nonsense. I told them to jog on and ended the call. Number’s blocked now on my phone. Absolute pest! #SCAM #ANNOYING - caller: 01229 208160

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.

Today I got a ring from this number, and honestly, just block it. It's one of those sales calls trying to sell stuff. Caller name showed up as S. Contracts. Don't waste your time!

I just got a call from 01229 208160 asking questions about a car crash on the road. Very strange!

I usually just hang up on calls from 01229208160. They keep ringing about accident claims, which I’m not interested in.
12 years
Got a call from this number saying it was about an accident I supposedly had in the past three years. I haven’t had any accidents or made any claims. They then asked if it might be someone else on my insurance, but I don’t even have a policy like that.

I picked up the phone and the caller just ended the call straight away.

This number kept buzzing me with missed calls for days. Eventually I picked up while at work and a bloke named ‘Karl’ was on the other end, saying he was ringing from a company called ‘First Contact’ who supposedly work with Solicitors and Lawyers. He claimed I had recently made a claim about damage to my car. I told him I don’t even drive, never had a car, except maybe the pink cardboard bus I crafted in primary school for a play. I joked about putting it on SORN since it’s definitely not roadworthy. Then I told him to remove my number from their list and warned that if they ring again I’d report them to the police. After a long pause he said sorry and hung up. Quite the laugh! - caller: ‘First Contact’

Today I got a call from this number and the bloke kept talking about some crash he said I was in. Problem is, I haven’t had an accident for ages, like 6 years or more, so no clue how he thought that was true. I told him to quit ringing me every day, and he just got all defensive. When I mentioned I’d call the cops, he started yelling at me non-stop. I had to hang up quick. Proper idiot. - caller: 01229208160

I just got a ring from these people claiming I'd been in a small car crash sometime in the past three years. I wasn’t sure I heard correctly, so I asked them to repeat themselves. They then said they wanted to check if I had been the one responsible for the accident in that timeframe. Funny thing is, I got a call from them a few weeks back too. The first call said I’d been involved in an accident, but then the other call said I was the one who caused it. Bit confusing if you ask me! - caller: First contact

This number called me and started saying something but was really unclear. They actually asked for me by name which was odd. When I told them I hadn’t been in any accident, they asked if anyone else at my house had been involved. I told them no, especially since they specifically called asking for me. Then they told me not to speak to them like I was a child, I just told them not to call me anymore. They said they’d remove me from their list but guess what, I got a missed call from them again. Will this ever end? - 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.

Got a ring from this number today, they was asking me about some "car accident injury" I supposedly had. Problem is, I don't drive and never been in any crash! Sounds like one of them dodgy legal claims scams to me.

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