Got a call from 0161 818 9087. When I answered, all I heard was a “hello,” so I asked who was calling but then she just went quiet and ended the call. I’ve already put the number on my block list.

They’ve been ringing me loads today but not saying owt, just leaving empty voicemails. It’s proper annoying.

A guy with an Asian accent rang me up, using my last name, saying I’d been in an accident that wasn’t my fault. Just another annoying spam call really.

They claimed to be from RTE Solicitors in Manchester - but I Googled them and found no such firm exists! I told the person I’m a lawyer myself and firmly asked them to take my number off their calling list and never ring me again!!

‭0161 818 9783‬ Manchester, England, these lot were a right pain. I told them I nicked a motor and got crashed into by the coppers, plus the gear stick is still jabbed in my behind. The bloke just laughed and said “no cash, that’s why you’re nicking cars,” so I said yeah, then he cut me off.

The voice had a strong Asian accent and was pretty hard to get. They mentioned something about insurance and a crash, but I just ended the call straight away.

They keep ringing, day after day, even after I've told them they've got the wrong number. It's so annoying!

So I got a call from this bloke, and I told him that an alien in its spaceship gave me some kind of force field that lets me call out nonsense when I see it. Would you believe, he just ended the call on me!

I have no clue what company they said they were from. These jokers are smart enough to make their voice sound all fuzzy, even when I asked them to repeat who they were. It seemed like some dodgy insurance scam, trying to say they could get money back from LV’s third party or something like that.

Ali was really forceful, kept saying I was involved in a car crash. He even seemed to know my home address, which was kinda creepy. It was all about some accident with my car, which I never had.

Got a call from some bloke saying he was from Aviva car insurance about a crash. He had a thick South Asian accent and out of nowhere told me I had a nice voice and asked if I was single. Proper weird and a bit creepy!

Got two calls yesterday that I just let go to voicemail straight away. I’ve already blocked every number beginning with 0161 on my phone because 99% of them are dodgy, mostly those accident claim scams. I noticed someone mentioned something about Gumtree ads here before, so just to be safe I’ve shut down my Gumtree account, thinking maybe that’s where my number’s leaking from.

At first, he claimed to be ringing from some kind of road accident department, but then quickly changed his story, saying he wasn’t from there at all. Suddenly, he wanted to meet up this Friday because apparently, he was really into me! When I asked how he got my number, he said he wanted to send me a message on WhatsApp to explain everything. He mentioned he’s from Pakistan, visits home every three months, and then returns to the UK. Honestly, this was the strangest call like this I’ve ever had!

Got a call from some daft bloke named Shahrukh, said he was phoning from an accident claims firm. Turns out he’s from Pakistan or something. Total waste of time.

My phone beeped but I wasn’t near it to answer and the call got ended by the caller. The number was +44 161 818 9783, which I don’t recognise at all. Since I never got another call from them, I’m guessing it was either just a sales call or maybe some dodgy scam, nothing worth bothering about.

I got a call from someone saying I’d been in an accident sometime over the past three years. Definitely steer clear of them. Funny thing is, these calls only started after I put an advert up on Gumtree.

On the 31st of August, 2020, I noticed a missed call while I was busy at the office. I tried returning the call multiple times, but it was perpetually engaged or simply wouldn’t connect. So, in the end, I decided to block the number entirely.

total scam, best thing is just to block and ignore these calls completely.

I switched on the call blocker for all numbers that aren’t saved in my contacts, and now whenever someone rings, I just get a notification about it instead of the phone actually ringing. It’s made things heaps simpler. Those calls are just blocked straight away now.

I received a rather alarming phone call from someone insisting that I had been involved in a car accident and that I was entitled to a compensation of £2000. When I explained that I had never been in such an incident, the caller shockingly suggested that I ought to die. The voice on the line was definitely male. How utterly bizarre and disturbing!

Absolutely can’t resist a cheeky bit of spam regarding a road mishap that I’ve never been part of! I find it rather amusing to see just how long I can keep the conversation flowing with them. It’s like a little game of patience, isn’t it?
