5 monthsThey claimed I’d been in an accident, which was totally untrue lol.2 yearsI received a call from a chap with an Indian accent, regarding some sort of accident. He wanted me to provide him with specifics about the incident. However, I informed him that I wouldn’t share any information until I had verified his company’s details online.3 yearsReceived a call from someone with a British accent, claiming I had submitted my information on their site in search of investment opportunities.3 yearsGot a call asking me to confirm my address for some PPI claim that supposedly HMRC authorised years back. Sounds like a total scam to me!!HMRC4 yearsGot a message on WhatsApp from +44 161 818 9917 - seriously, this scam’s gone next level with this kinda harassing move. They said something like, “Hello brother, we are claim verification officers from solicitors” and started talking about some compensation claim letter. Total scam, just be careful!WhatsApp4 yearsJust got a call from +44 161 818 1712, claiming they’re some sort of Bitcoin firm. As soon as they started, I hung up straight away. Sounds like a classic social engineering scam, watch out everyone!Bitcoin4 yearsWhat a nuisance! I keep getting these incessant calls claiming I've been in a car accident. It's like they think if they pester me enough, I'll suddenly change my mind. Honestly, I've already told them to back off three times! They seem convinced my number is some sort of goldmine for information - what a ridiculous notion!4 yearsI got a call about some accident they said I was in? When they started asking if I was injured, I told the bloke I’d actually died from it. He was like, no way you’re dead, we’re chatting right now. So I just went on to say yeah, I definitely kicked the bucket because of that crash. Then he just told me kindly to “oh get lost.”4 yearsSeems like someone who annoyed "victor" really made their point. The number now asks you to punch in two random numbers before the call goes through, probably to stop bots from keep redialling. But when you do type the numbers, all you get is dead air, just a dial tone with no response. I reckon Victor has completely stopped answering calls now :) This is a positive in my opinion since it stops anyone trying to call back from getting caught up in any scams, cos no one is on the other end to talk to them.Victor4 yearsSomeone rang me up saying I’d been involved in a crash, but that definitely wasn’t true.4 yearsfor the last couple of hours i've been messin' with this guy 'victor' who keeps pickin' up the phone. looks like he's the only one manning the calls and he's proper cheesed off that i’m hangin' about and not lettin’ anyone else through. honestly, you gotta try this, he’s pleaded with me loads to stop and promised to block my number. but sorry mate, that ship has sailed. i’m way too petty and honestly it’s just too amusing.Victor4 yearsThey were well aware of my identity, including my complete name and residence, and were keen on discussing my life insurance coverage.4 yearsHad a call from someone with a really thick Indian accent claiming I’d been in an accident (which I definitely wasn’t). I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.4 yearsI received another call today from someone with an Indian accent, claiming there’s been an accident and they wanted to check on my insurance claim. This is the second time I've been contacted, though from a different number this time. No idea how they got hold of my number in the first place! I firmly told them to cease and desist with their dodgy tactics.4 yearsSounds like one of those dodgy accident claim scams to me.4 yearsGot a call from someone with a strong South Asian accent, maybe Indian or Pakistani, asking for info about a car crash that never took place. I just kept him talking, wondering what he really wanted. He asked for my car registration, so I fed him a made-up number. Oddly enough, he said the reg was for a Toyota, which made me think he’s linked to some kind of motor vehicle authority. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam.ToyotaDVLA4 yearsI got a call about my internet service, but when I tried ringing them back from a different phone, it just said the number's no longer connected.4 yearsGot a call claiming to be from an insurance place about verifying an accident that supposedly happened within the past couple of years, and some payout was due. At first, they said it was about me, but then switched to say it involved someone in my family - wouldn’t say when or where though. Told them to just send the info by email. Felt really dodgy to me!4 yearsI've been getting calls from someone claiming to be from my insurance provider regarding a supposed accident claim and some compensation they say I'm owed. The chap has quite the Indian accent and insists on getting personal details from me. This has been going on for nearly a year now, with them ringing me two to three times a month. I've taken to just stringing them along and having a bit of a laugh while I waste their time! :))))Submit Your Own Report (0161 818 9917)
