Phone number ☎️ 01618540397 👆 is reported as a highly persistent and aggressive scam operation targeting individuals involved in car accidents, including minor or no-injury cases.

Many users report receiving multiple daily calls despite requests to stop, with some calls involving silent hang-ups or abusive language. Complaints highlight misuse of personal accident data, likely sold between entities, and links to fraudulent compensation schemes. While a few experienced genuine payouts, the overwhelming consensus deems the practice unethical and distressing. Users are advised to block these numbers, avoid sharing personal details, report to official bodies, and remain vigilant against similarly patterned cold calls.

They’re sayin they’re from some Government advisory team, tryin to send info about PPI. Sounds like a total scam just tryna collect names and addresses for other dodgy schemes. Best just block’em if you get a call from them.

I got a call from someone about a crash I was in. I told them it wasn’t serious, but they kept pushing me to say it was worse so I could get some payout. Had a call like that just recently. They tried to persuade me I should claim compensation even though I clearly said it wasn’t too bad. In the end, I felt guilty and decided not to proceed. Now I’m getting at least three calls every day!

They kinda pushed me to say I was hurt. Then they handed me over to Emerald Law who said if I wasn’t planning to claim, don’t go any further. Now I’m getting loads of calls saying I made some verbal contract and they can invoice me. But Emerald Law told me that’s rubbish and if they keep ringing, I should tell them to talk to Emerald Law instead.

This number rang me like three times every day for nearly a month and I kept missing the calls, but when I finally answered a bloke called Will said I might be able to get compensation for an accident I had more than a year ago. I was pretty doubtful at first but he was really professional and didn’t ask for any sensitive details, so I decided to give it a go. Glad I did, cause after taking out the 25% fee, I got just over £3,500. Proper pleased with how the accident advice centre handled everything and I’ve even told a family member about them who recently had a car crash.

These lot keep calling me nonstop and it’s really stressing me out. They ring a few times a week about some accident I wasn’t involved in. I’ve told the bloke to leave me alone but he keeps saying it’s his first time ringing - every single time! Honestly, the police ought to crack down on these companies for pestering people with constant calls.

We have been overwhelmed by numerous calls, not only from this particular site but also from other sources. Indeed, I was involved in an accident last year that was not my fault, fortunately without any injuries. It seems that all minor accidents are recorded on a Government-approved platform known as The Insurance Portal, aiming to facilitate the settlement of claims. Unfortunately, unscrupulous individuals have taken advantage of this system as an opportunity to make illicit profits. Therefore, my suggestion would be to acquire a whistle or try intimidating them with the threat of invoicing them £10 per minute for every moment they spend talking to you. It's important to note that legal precedents are in favour of people combating this issue!

These people are proper scammers, honestly. Don’t trust a word they say and just hang up. You should inform the police about them. They claim they’ll send you documents to claim some sort of compensation, but it’s just a trick to steal your bank info. Their accents sound Nigerian or from somewhere else in Africa. Don’t fall for it.

This injury claims firm just wont quit ringing me. They keep trying to get me to claim for injuries I never had, saying insurance has cash ready for these cases. They call multiple times daily even after I asked them to stop. Proper annoying!

A persistent injury claims firm keeps making unwelcome calls, insisting that you file for injuries even if you haven't suffered any. They make this suggestion because insurance companies have reserved funds for such circumstances. Despite being explicitly advised against it, they continue to call you repeatedly throughout the day.
10 years
Ensure that you have comprehensive knowledge about the car accident I experienced earlier this year, persistently seek answers and do not accept 'no' as a response. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), they continue to make unwanted calls. I have filed a complaint against them with the TPS, and with any luck, this will yield some results.

On Good Friday 2015, I unfortunately experienced an accident for which I was not at fault. However, as a result of this incident, my phone number seems to have become widely known. I receive frequent calls from various numbers in Manchester, with the callers claiming to represent accident management companies willing to compensate me for any injuries sustained. However, I want to clarify that my claim was resolved several months ago and no injuries occurred. These persistent callers are clearly trying to take advantage of the situation. Interestingly, I receive similar incessant calls from other parts of the country as well. I suspect that either my insurance company, the third party's insurance company, or the garage responsible for repairing my car may have divulged my contact details. To avoid falling prey to these dubious schemes, I have decided not to respond to unknown calls any longer.

They've been ringing me almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for nearly two months now. Most of the time when I answer, it's just quiet on the other end. When I do get to speak to someone, I tell them to remove me from their calling list. But the calls just keep coming!

I had a similar experience. I informed them about their harassing behavior and asked them to cease. However, to my annoyance, they persistently called me every 10 minutes for the following hour! Such immature individuals.

I wanted to have a conversation with my partner regarding an accident, but they have already asked them to stop calling. However, I ended up answering the next call and explained to them that it was considered harassment. Unfortunately, they didn't stop and continued calling every 10 minutes. This constant calling needs to come to an end.

I receive persistent phone calls from the same "accident care centre" profile, up to four times a day. Despite trying a polite approach and even an angry one, I have had no luck dealing with these people. It baffles me how this could benefit them or their clients. Who would want to do business with such a persistent and bothersome company anyway? I decided to take action by reporting them to the ICO/Ofcom, but their response was disheartening - they claimed they couldn't do anything until the law changes. In an effort to combat their calls, I have installed phone blockers on all of my phones. I view this as a necessary measure similar to antivirus or spam blockers. It's time to launch a battle of technologies! Additionally, for your information, here are some additional numbers that they have used, although they may be generated randomly: - 01184352574 - 01806722854 - 01352362783 - 01528495224 - 01876683145 - 01616417404

Over the past few weeks, I have received numerous phone calls from the same individual. I picked up once, but after that, I simply ignored the calls. The person on the other end was aware of my name and the car accident I had experienced last year. Their persistent and forceful nature made these calls feel like harassment, prompting me to take action by registering with TPS.

Unwanted Telephone Calls about Accident Claims
I am currently facing the issue of receiving numerous unwanted calls related to accident claims. These individuals persist in calling me up to ten times each day. On the first call, I ignored it, but when I called them back using a different phone, they introduced themselves as the "accident care centre," which coincidentally is the same place that has been frequently calling me from 01926 912962. In total, I now receive approximately ten calls daily from these two numbers. Despite reporting their activities to both the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the Office of Communications (Ofcom), I am still bombarded with these intrusive calls.
