01942917112 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01942917112 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam call originating from a UK number linked to motor insurance fraud. Callers impersonate agencies like the “Motor Insurance Bureau” or similar, claiming the recipient was involved in recent car accidents to extract personal details or secure fake compensation. Many report rude or aggressive behaviour, insistence on speaking to a specific person, and unconvincing accents, often South Asian. Silence or no response after answering is common, and repeated calls without leaving messages are frequent. Users strongly advise against answering or providing any information, recommending immediate blocking of the number. Legitimate insurers do not conduct such unsolicited calls, and authorities have yet to regulate or cease this deceptive activity effectively. Caution and vigilance are highly recommended.

He kept calling asking if I was a #### victim and if I wanted compensation. What’s wrong with these people? Rang me five times!

I've had to block this number on my home phone. Seeing all the comments and how long people have been complaining, I really don't get why the so-called authorities havent traced these idiots and done something to stop it. Maybe if politicians at Downing Street got these calls themselves, then they'd actually do something about it.

They didn’t leave any voicemail. Picked up when they rang today and the woman was really insistent, saying it was a quick survey about life insurance and would only take a minute. I told her I wasn’t interested and was busy right then. She said she’d ring again later. I really can’t stand these calls.

Not sure who rang me, but the bloke sounded foreign and quite rude. All I caught was something about insurance and cars. I just ended the call since I don’t own a car or have any insurance. Definitely seems like a scam to me. Best just ignore this number, might make them give up.

Just got a call from 01942917112, the bloke on the other end was really nasty and kept saying he had to speak to my husband about a car crash. He was desperate for a contact number and refused to accept 'no' for an answer. I told him no point in a phone number, maybe a ouija board instead coz my husband’s been gone for 7 years now.

After a bit of a pause, a woman with an Indian accent called and said she was from the "motor investigations bureau" (quite the official sounding title!). She asked for me by name but was really pushy and rude, so I just hung up. Not long before that, I had a go at some bloke named "Aiden" from 02031556928 about that washing machine warranty scam. I reckon my info got passed along to more scammers, so now I’m bracing myself for a flood of dodgy calls from these muppets.

So this bloke "Mason Brown" rings claiming he's from some "motor investigations" or something, then he suddenly got all shifty. When I asked where exactly he was calling from, after a lot of rambling, he said "Motor Investigation Bureau" or whatever, claiming he was somewhere in Manchester or Liverpool. Then he started rabbiting on about Anfield like it’s some kind of clue from a past call. I just told him he was reading from a script and ended the call. He somehow knew my name (I’ve never given it out), but I don't even drive or had any accidents, so I told him to take a hike.

Got a call from some bloke named Mike, said I'd supposedly been part of a car crash or something, but his accent was so hard to catch. I haven't been behind the wheel for over six years, so no chance it was me! This "Mike" was dead sure he had the right person. Completely dodgy and feels like a total scam to me.

Got a call from a woman named Katie, who said she had details from my car insurance form, mentioning I’d apparently ticked a box about an accident within the past year and could make a claim for uninsured losses. There was a lot of noise in the background and she spoke with an accent that seemed Indian.

Got a call from a bloke with a thick Indian accent, claiming he was Mike Carter. He said he was ringing from some firm looking into a tiny accident with my car sometime in the last year. Problem is, there’s been no accident at all. He also said my insurer had given them my details - which is rubbish, they wouldn’t do that. I knew straight away it was a con, so I told him to stop wasting my time and that I wasn’t falling for it!

Got a call from a woman with a strange accent I couldn't figure out, said her name was Nicole from the Malta Investigation Bureau. There was loads of background noise. She told me they were looking into a claim from one of their clients who’d had a small car accident. Asked if I’d been in any accidents over the past year, I said no. Asked if I’d been a passenger in any accident recently, again no. She thanked me for being honest, said they’d carry on with their investigation and then hung up pretty sharpish. Not really sure what scam they’re running, but it definitely felt fishy.

The lady spoke really broken English and somehow knew my name. When I asked who was calling, she refused to say. She then started asking about a small car accident. I said nothing and ended the call. Ive been shopping online lately so I reckon some sellers might be passing info around. I got myself a Faraday cage and a steering wheel lock recently, so maybe its all connected somehow!

Somebody said they were from MIB and claimed a mate of mine had contacted them about passenger compensation, asking for more details from me. Then this South African guy grabbed the phone from a woman after I refused to share info, threatening that stopping someone from their payout was a crime and I'd end up in jail. He started yelling, telling me to pay close attention if I wanted avoid any problems. Ended the call and I blocked the number straight away.

Got a call about car insurance, with the bloke telling me I’d put in a claim. I said I don’t even drive, then asked where he got that info from, and he said it was from the court! He kept going, asking if I maybe forgot about an accident last July or something. I said no, then he started listing every month of the year, still asking why the court had that info. Proper weird.

I just let the voicemail pick up and there was no message, so I’m guessing it was those dodgy scammers ringing again.

This number just called me. I let my voicemail pick up and it was just dead silence, nothing at all. Looks like more scammers trying their luck as my poor home phone has been non stop with these calls today!! Going to flag it as risky based on the feedback here.

Got a call from this number earlier. I didn't pick up and just let the answerphone take it, but all I got was dead silence. Pretty sure it’s another scammer given how much my home phone’s been ringin’ all day with dodgy calls!! Gonna flag it as risky based on what others have said here.

01942 917112 - they’re posing as if they're from the MIB. They keep insisting they're offering some sort of compensation for imaginary car crashes. If you check the link I’ve shared, you’ll see that the proper company is well aware of these scams. Absolute dodgy blokes, total charlatans!

I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know. If it’s urgent, they’ll either leave a voicemail or text me. After reading the reviews, I’ve gone ahead and blocked this number.

I was going on about the crash, how that car just pulled right out in front of me and there was no way to stop. I kept going on about it for ages. Then I added that I've never hit a rabbit before and was really upset about it - he totally flipped out - it was hilarious!

Cheers for the info, have gone ahead and BLOCKED now.

Annoying car warranty scammer got proper mad when I told them to buzz off.

This guy claimed that someone who supposedly bumped into my car had something set up with their insurance. I explained I haven’t been in any car accident for like 20 years. Then he said nah, not an accident, just a tiny bump, and that the bloke who did it had an arrangement. He sounded more and more annoyed as we talked. I told him I’ve never even had a small bump, no clue why they’re ringing me, and he just hung up on me.

Received a phone call from something called the Vehicle Inquiry Unit and they had loads of my info like my insurer, birthday, and where I live. They claimed I'd been involved in a crash in the last year and was owed about £3,000 for injuries. I listened for a bit, then told them the accident happened years ago and I wasn’t actually hurt. They said they'd check with their manager and get back to me. Total scam.

These personal injury people are a total scam. Like others mentioned, they claim you’re due a cheque from a car accident in the past year. I asked them which accident they were talking about before giving my info. Once I pushed back, they just cut me off.

They claimed to be motor investigators so I asked straight up who they were, where they were from & which vehicles they meant, gave them 5 seconds. Told them they were a scam and ended the call, then blocked the number.

Complete scammers. I’m gonna keep blowing up their number till they decide to block me.

I received a call from this number yesterday, but it seems either my device or network wasn't too keen on it, as it diverted the call straight to the "spam" folder. What a jolly helpful feature that is!

I received a call from a chap named Craig, who had a rather thick accent. He claimed I was eligible for compensation of £3000 due to a minor mishap, which I apparently hadn't claimed due to being uninsured. Naturally, I inquired about when this so-called accident took place, and he stated it was back in August 2019. I couldn’t help but question why my insurance company hadn’t reached out to me regarding this matter. According to him, the amount was justified because of the stress and anxiety I supposedly endured. When I decided to adopt a more stressed tone in my response, he rather rudely told me to stop behaving childishly before hanging up. Honestly, it feels like ages since I've dealt with a dodgy accident claim call!

When I answered the phone, there was nothing but silence on the other end, so I decided to reciprocate. I didn’t say a word or respond in any way, and after a couple of minutes, they ended the call. It turns out they’re using some sort of automated dialling system, which waits for a reply before connecting you to a real person.

I got a call from a guy claiming there was an accident with my car recently, within the last couple of months. I told him my car hasn’t been used at all for about 3 months, but he just kept changing the time frame, saying maybe it was 6 months or even a year ago. Definitely a scam if you ask me.

So frustrating! When they hung up, I called straight back to let off some steam. I asked where on earth they found my number. A bloke called Troy promised he’d ring back in 5 minutes, saying I might be less angry then! Number’s blocked now, so no way of knowing if he actually did. Bit of a shame really!

About half an hour back, I got a call from this number. It showed up as Wigan, but no one I know calls from there, so I immediately thought it was dodgy. I just went to check the number on here and my network, Three, has already blocked it and labelled it “Potential Fraud”. Can't trust these calls nowadays!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from a motor insurance claims team, checking up on a recent policy update. Almost fooled me since I just switched my car and insurance last week. Then he started talking about a crash supposedly two months back. I’ve been driving for over three decades and never been in an accident before. When I questioned him, he started yelling and then cut off the call. Total scam alert! Best to just ignore calls like this!

This bloke kept ringing me up, trying to say I’d been in some sort of accident. After telling him a few times that nothing’d happened, he told me it was odd I ‘remembered’ it so clearly...bit weird if you ask me. Anyway, I just told him to jog on and ended the call.

Got a call today about some accident I supposedly had but I’m pretty sure I didn’t. I asked when it was meant to have happened because I just got a brand new car, and then the person just hung up on me. Honestly, if you get calls from numbers you don’t recognise, just don’t pick up - these people are just trying to scam you. Nearly had them get my pension but luckily I caught on just in time.

Its crazy how these calls still manage to come through even after blocking! It’s just gone 10.30am and already had four annoying calls. They never bother talking to me because I never pick up if I dont recognise the number, and they don’t leave any message anyway! Feels like they’re exploiting the fact loads of us are working from home nowadays!

Got a ring from someone called "Dave" claiming he's with the Motor Investigation Bureau out of Milton Keynes. He wanted to know if I'd been in any accidents over the past year. When I asked for more details, he said he couldn't share anything 'cause it's confidential. Then he tried to rush me, saying today’s the final day to file for compensation. Seemed fishy to me.

Loads of times I’ve picked up these calls but no one talks. They tend to ring late at night too. I blocked one number, then another called from somewhere else. When I answered, the bloke asked why I’d blocked him. I just hung up. It’s starting to worry me now.

I picked up and there was complete silence on the other end. After reading all these reviews, I thought it’d be amusing to have a little chat, but nope, nothing at all.
