01618187249 Just received a call from this mysterious number, totally unsolicited on my mobile, which is registered with the TPS. They didn’t bother to leave a voicemail, either. The whole thing reeks of a dodgy accident claim scam, typical phishing nonsense. Definitely not something I want to engage with. I’d recommend blocking this number and reporting it straight away!

Got a call on my missus's phone when I was driving. Just like others have said, the woman claimed it was about a recent car crash - obviously a load of rubbish. My missus wasn’t too impressed, told her off pretty sharpish and ended the call. Number’s been blocked now. Definitely a scam. This stuff is proper organised crime, but no one seems to be doing anything about it.

Had the exact same thing happen to me. It’s a shame these kinds of places don’t get shut down and all the stuff the people behind them own gets taken and handed over to good causes. But I guess that’s just me dreaming.

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent asking about some accident. When I asked for her name and company, what she said was just gibberish. I then asked which accident she meant - the one where I bumped into an old lady or when I accidentally killed some chickens (both made up). She said she'd transfer me to her boss, so we went on chatting about all my 'accidents'. The bloke on the other end ended the call when I mentioned the time I scared off a scammer driving nuts!
