01312048731 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01312048731 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls related to fabricated car accident claims and bogus insurance services. Callers often claim to represent legal or insurance departments, pressing for personal details and compensation for accidents the recipient has never experienced. The calls typically feature foreign accents, aggressive or evasive responses when challenged, and sometimes cease abruptly. Despite originating from Edinburgh-based numbers, the professionalism and legitimacy are questionable, with many noting rude behaviour and disregard for protection registers. Users strongly advise blocking the number, ignoring calls, and not providing any personal information. This scam appears well-coordinated, stringently avoiding accountability and frequently using multiple numbers to continue harassment. Vigilance and caution are essential to avoid falling victim to such fraudulent outreaches.

Felt like a dodgy insurance call to me.

I got a call from someone saying they were from Axa Insurance. When they asked if I had life insurance, I said no. Then when I tried to ring back, I got a message in an American accent saying the number wasn’t in service. Pretty clear it wasn’t a legit UK company, just a scam trying to cut me off before I could raise any issues.

I've been getting calls about life insurance and even after asking over 20 times to be taken off their list, they keep ringing me back. They say no problem when I ask to be removed, but I think someone keeps missing it or just forgets to actually do it. It's getting quite annoying now!

Keep getting calls from the Edinburgh area code, this time it was 0131 204 8736. Didn't bother picking up, just straightaway blocked it. Happens all the time so I just block them on sight now.

I've been getting calls from this number pretty much every day. They keep saying I've been in some kind of accident, but when I tell them I know it's a scam and that I'll report it, they just hang up straight away. It's really annoying how persistent they are.

Got a call from some company named Auto Protect, apparently about a crash I had last year? I was like, "What crash?" and this woman rudely snapped back asking if I was sure I didn’t remember it. I’ve got a clean record with no accidents for over a decade! Said nothing else and just hung up. Total ambulance chasers if you ask me.

On 17th February 2021, I got a call from Auto Assist, Edinburgh, pretending to be wanting to "assist" me over a claim after a car accident I supposedly had. The whole thing was full of lies, just another dodgy scam. I found out that those numbers starting with 0131 204 are actually bought in bulk by some insurance firm out in Edinburgh. Don't trust these lot!

Just the same rubbish from some daft people. I told the woman I was happy she rang, and she said, 'no worries, Sir, we’re here to help.' Then I mentioned that I’d had my leg chopped off after a car crash. She went, 'you lost a leg?' - I reckon she was well into it 😉. So I added that it was the same crash where I lost an eye 🤕. She swore loud and clear and then hung up on me 💪.

Some bloke rang me, claiming to be from the Legal Department about a car crash I’d apparently been in. I told him I hadn’t had any accident at all and asked when he thought it happened. He said it was within the last two years, but I kept telling him his info was wrong because I’d never been in one. After that, he said he’d check and before I could ask anything else, he just cut the call! Definitely one of those dodgy legal scams. What really freaks me out is how they even get hold of your phone number! I’ve blocked it now.

Got a call today from someone claiming I was involved in an accident, which is totally not true since I’ve never had one in my whole life. Quite annoying to be honest.

Seems like there was some kind of accident involving me in the past couple of years. When I tried to question it, the lady on the phone didn’t speak any English at all. Wouldn't recommend dealing with them!

They rang me claiming there had been some kind of accident involving me, but couldn’t give me any proper info at all. The caller had a weird accent, maybe South African or something, which seemed odd given the number showed as being from Edinburgh. Definitely a dodgy call to ignore.

Had a call from 0131 204 8731, background noise sounded like a busy call centre. They claimed I’d been in an accident and owed a second instalment. Said they only look back two years and have ties to insurance firms, but gave me an address that’s ancient, like from years ago. Made it clear I wouldn’t give any info over a random call and said they should send anything in writing. They then asked to set up a meeting right then - I told them they must be taking me for a fool. Their reply was something like “I thought I’d give it a shot”. That said it all really. Got a text asking me to ring back - that number wasn’t the Edinburgh line, it was Glasgow based 0141 345 0451. Don’t fall for it, people! If you’re not at fault, your insurer will always sort out what you’re owed. They mentioned being connected to some regulator, but I said I’d report them regardless. You wouldn’t brave freezing weather without a proper coat, so don’t let unwanted cold calls catch you unprepared.

So, this number rang me up claiming I’d been in some kind of accident. I told them I’d actually plummeted off a cliff while rock climbing. Then I threw in that the police had looked into it and found out my missus had gone and cut the ropes. They just hanged up, ha ha ha!

Got a call from someone pretending to be from AMS. The number showed up as Edinburgh, but the only AMS I know there is an architect firm. The woman on the phone claimed she had just received my accident file and said I was owed compensation. I told her I hadn't been in any accident, but she kept insisting she had the file and the payment was due. Feels dodgy to me. I can't imagine an architect would have anything to do with accident claims anyway, so watch out for this one.

Got a call from someone called Julia who kept asking about a ‘little incident’ but completely ignored the fact my number’s on the TPS list. When I told her she wasn’t allowed to ring me, she just sighed loudly and then hung up straight away. Quite rude really.

This company, calling themselves AutoAssist, keeps ringing me up every day about some accident that never even happened. I'm honestly over these calls. Whenever I push back, they get really cheeky and rude. It's driving me mad!

I let the call go since I didn’t know the number. But I’m thinking next time I get something like this, I’ll pick up and say I’m Detective Chief Inspector... maybe “Reed” from Derbyshire CID or something like that. Wonder how long they’d stick around for that! Should be a laugh. Fingers crossed it works!

Got a call from someone claiming they were with the motor legal association about a car crash I ‘had’. They said compensation was on the table but couldn’t actually confirm when this supposed accident happened or the type of car involved. When I asked a few questions, the guy got really annoyed and raised his voice. Definitely sounds like a rip-off to me.

Got a call around 4.30pm on 17th Feb. Right away I could tell it was dodgy, but figured I’d mess about with them. The bloke on the line had a strange accent and kept talking about some crash I’d supposedly had, trying to suss out details to offer legal help. I gave him a cheeky answer, saying I was partly in and partly out of the car at the time, and mentioned I had someone else with me. He insisted I needed a lawyer to sort out compensation, but I told him I’m actually a lawyer myself. Suddenly, he just hung up. Proper laugh that was! 😁😁😁

They just rang me up and when I asked how they had my info, the lady claimed it was from their regulator - total rubbish. I requested a DSAR, and then she blurted out my address details, which is clearly against DPA rules. When I told her about this breach, she ignored my DSAR and just ended the call!

Got a call about some accident from years back. When I questioned her she got all annoyed. I told her I already received my compensation. She kept saying I hadn’t. I then asked her to remove me from their calls. She kept arguing she needed more info or something 😴 I just ended the call and blocked the number.

So they rang up asking about some accident, and then had their “manager” call back too, trying to make it sound legit. But if they’re meant to be from Edinburgh, why do both the caller and the so-called manager have proper Nigerian accents? Seems fishy to me.

Got a call from an Edinburgh number about a supposed car accident I’d been in. I told them it was a minibus full of nuns that I’d collided with, and my car was completely wrecked. Apparently, the police are looking into the mum superior because she was drunk, plus a few other nuns as well. I’m stuck in hospital with a broken leg and a groin injury - all because I was messing about. Ever since my days as a choirboy I’ve had a thing for nuns. There was also some massive hole in the road that the cops were checking out. Quite the mad story, honestly!

When I mentioned I’d never had an accident, he just said I must think I’m clever or something. Quite the charmer, wasn’t he!
