Been getting calls from this number a bunch over the past few days, all about some accident that didn’t happen to me. I don't even own a car!

This number called me a few times and I just played dumb, saying I don’t recall any accident like that - must’ve been pretty bad if I don’t remember. Then I’d cheekily ask if there's a big payout coming my way. Weirdly, they hang up every single time!

So this guy rang me up, said he was from National Insurance Advice or something like that, but he had a proper Asian accent despite calling himself Mark. The number he used was . I just told him straight up, "No need to stress, I’ll just send over my card info, saves you the trouble, just gimme your proper address." Then as I began to record the call, I mentioned, "By the way, I’m recording this," and he cut off immediately. Couldn't help but laugh at that 😄😄😂😂.

So this guy rings me up from some company called National Advice Insurance or something, speaking with a kinda Asian accent, but the bloke’s name is Mark! The number was 01315162156. I just went straight and said, “No stress, I can give you my card info right now, just send me your proper address first.” Then I hit record on my phone while he was chatting, and the moment I told him “I’m recording this,” guess what? He hung up on me! Had me chuckling right there lol.

Got a call a few minutes back from someone claiming to be with the road authorities. I didn’t even bother listening much and just hung up right away since I’ve heard about this dodgy scam going around.

Just got a call from someone named "Gavin" claiming to be from "the road authority" about some "accident"... yeah, as if!

This guy said his name was Gavin and had a south Asian accent. Claimed to be from the Road Traffic Dept, saying they track every car accident in the UK. He said someone linked to my number had a crash sometime in the past two years but wouldn’t say who or where exactly. He got pushy about it, so I just told him it sounded like a scam and ended the call.

I never caught her name, but she claimed to be with Road Traffic and mentioned something about a car accident. When I asked when it happened, she said it was two years ago. I told her there’s no way it was me - my car would've been stolen since I definitely wasn’t driving then. She was really hard to understand and kept going on about the car getting hit either from behind or the side. I told her she must have the wrong number and ended the call. I wonder what exactly they're trying to push?

I got a call from what sounded like an Indian call centre, these folks are so well trained, acting like they're from different made-up companies just to trick you. They try to get your card info by pretending there’s been a car accident or something along those lines. Total scam artists, do not trust them!
