This number is associated with 'Action Claims', a firm that seems to reach out regarding any mishap you might have encountered. They referenced our previous car registration, which leads us to suspect a link to the AA, given their knowledge of other specifics. In essence, they come across as those who linger around for a chance, essentially waiting for accidents to happen so they can pounce and offer their services.

I had an encounter with them when I was involved in a car accident about two and a half years ago.

We've recently lost our father, and it's been quite unsettling to receive calls from this number every single day. We noticed a similar message regarding their office being closed, echoing what others have reported. The phone in question is a pay-as-you-go model, so we’re left scratching our heads about what each call might be racking up in costs! Does anyone have any insight into this?

Greetings! We’ve been receiving calls from this number during the evenings, but when I attempt to return the call, I only get a recorded message saying that the action claims office is shut. What steps should we take from here?

Absolutely the same experience over here. We've informed the authorities already. We tried to return the call, but there was no response. Our phone is registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so I'm curious if anyone knows which company is behind these calls? It would help us lodge a complaint with the TPS and potentially initiate a claim against them. We're getting these calls about three or four times daily!

I've been inundated with calls, averaging three or four times daily, over the past two weeks. Each time, they prattle on about insurance and unresolved claims during the one and only conversation we actually had. It's utterly frustrating! I've shot off an email to the address you provided, so I'm curious to see what unfolds next. . . . . . [email protected].

Hello there! For the past three months, we've been receiving continuous hassle from this number. We've tried calling back, but every time it disconnects or drops the call before we can even say a word. It's quite frustrating!

I can relate completely. We've been inundated with calls from what seems to be a police investigation team, inquiring about a service we received shortly after a distressing incident. They've been ringing us up four or five times a day, every day, for the past fortnight. It's really beginning to get on our nerves, to say the least!

I can completely relate. I've been inundated with calls lately from this number, and it’s baffling how they got hold of my contact details. The constant ringing is rather annoying, to say the least!

We typically receive about two calls daily from this lot. We're almost convinced that they acquired our number through a comparison site when we were hunting for car insurance quotes. These days, whenever we seek a quote, we tend to give them an old mobile number instead. You wouldn’t believe the number of calls we've gotten since we took out insurance for our car and van! It's quite overwhelming, to say the least. :-(

We're experiencing the same issue at our end. They're claiming they couldn't connect the call and then provide a callback number. Is it possible they're profiting from that? It's really bothersome and seems quite dodgy, if you ask me.

For the last fortnight, we've been inundated with calls from this number regarding some sort of claim. Each time, we've firmly told them that we have absolutely no claims to speak of, and that it has never been the case in the past either. We’ve repeatedly requested that they remove our details from their database. Yet, despite all our efforts, we still find ourselves receiving calls from this number almost every single day.

For the past three weeks, we've been receiving calls from this number, ringing us about three times a day that we can identify. It’s grown increasingly bothersome, and if the incessant calls don't stop soon, we’ll be turning to Ofcom, as they oversee these types of telephone communications. We’ve requested that our number be removed from their list, but it seems to have had no impact at all!

Received calls from this number on my mobile recently-twice, in fact! However, each time, I couldn’t get through to respond. Has anyone managed to uncover who’s behind this number yet?

Since January 2011, we've received roughly 50 calls in total, and truth be told, we haven't a clue who any of these callers are or what they're after. Frankly, we couldn't care less-unless, of course, they're inclined to send us a hefty sum of money through the post, in which case, they'd certainly catch our attention! Otherwise, their numbers have been added to our phone’s block list without a second thought.

Absolutely the same situation here . . . getting calls almost immediately while we're in a meeting. What a bunch of absolute muppets these folks are! We’re definitely considering reporting this to the authorities.

For the past three weeks, we've been receiving calls from this number, often three times a day, and it's getting rather tiresome. It's starting to feel like harassment, and if it carries on, we might have to contact Ofcom, as they oversee these sorts of calls. We've requested that this number be removed from their list, but so far, it hasn't made a jot of difference!

I tried reaching out to a firm that goes by Chameleon, inquiring about how they came by my phone number. To my utter surprise, they just cut the call! What on earth? Has anyone else encountered something similar?

I've been receiving several calls each day lately. Most of the time, they just disconnect as soon as I pick up. However, there have been occasions when they've actually asked for me by name. Every time I acknowledge that I’m the right person they seek, they just cut the line. It’s becoming quite frustrating, to say the least!
