Got a call about some supposed car crash, total annoyance. I just blocked the number straight away. Wouldn't recommend answering or returning their call. Complete waste of time.

Got a annoying sales call about some supposed car crash. Didn’t bother with it, blocked the number straight away. Don’t answer or ring them back, just ignore.

Got calls from this "had an accident" scam - they kept ringing from 0121 454 5450 and 0161 223 0264 too. Ended up having to block all three numbers, what a nuisance!

Got a ring from a bloke with a foreign accent earlier. He kicked off by asking how I was, but when I asked who he was with and why he was ringing, he went on about some accident I supposedly had in the past couple of years. I told him I’d never been in an accident, and he just hung straight up. Tried looking up the number 01617681279 to call back but couldn’t get through. I’ve blocked it now. I’m not even close to Manchester, I’m down here in the South East of England.

i reckon these folks just hang around their desks all day waiting, cause the second something pops up on gumtree they’re already ringing. luckily ive got some pre-recorded messages ready to go, so i just play them back and it usually fends them off.

I listed my car on Gumtree and just minutes later, this number kept ringing me non-stop. They were asking some weird questions about a crash involving the car. I quickly blocked it! What a hassle.

Had 3 really annoying calls last week where they were super rude, and then I get 4 more just this morning. I’m not interested at all. This is exactly why insurance prices are sky high - scams like this claiming we owe money when we don’t. They should seriously find a real job instead of bothering people.

What a horrible bloke! Kept calling, saying I'd had a car crash and telling me to listen up. Honestly, so rude. Got 4 calls in just a few minutes. I've blocked the number now, but I doubt that'll put an end to it.

They called straight after I listed my car for sale, claiming there’d been an accident - total scam.

I got a call on my mobile saying I'd been in an accident - which I have no clue about. Since I ditched my landline, these lot keep hammering my mobile nonstop. Really fed up with it all now.

Lately I’ve been getting calls from 0161 numbers a lot and usually I just don’t bother answering them. It’s happening way too often now.

Had a call on my phone from some so-called insurance accident investigators, saying I’d been in a recent crash. I’ve never had an accident though, so I knew right away it was dodgy. It’s mad that even on mobiles we’re getting targeted by these scammers pretending to be legit insurance firms. If you’re going to use a service, stick to a proper, trusted company, not some scam crew just after your money.

Got a random call from someone claiming to be road accident help. Never asked for their help or anything.

Got three calls, one right after the other, from someone claiming there was a car crash involving me. They only had the basics like my name, my phone number, and the town I’m in - nothing else. Felt like a dodgy scam to me.

Like others have said, total time waster - best to just ignore it.

Got a call from these people and told them I was going to report them to the ICO for bothering me. Then they phoned me from a different number, 0785 3222200, so I asked for their information and all I got was some rude response. I've blocked them now.

Got calls from the same number 3 separate times today, telling my husband he’d been in an accident and it wasn’t his fault. Decided to block the number straight away.

Got a call from an unknown number but they didn’t leave any message.
