I gave them a ring again because these calls are really annoying and they interrupt my work. It appears to be a company called Hallington's Advisory. They have a voicemail which states that they're busy, but you can press 1 to stop receiving calls from them. I pressed 1, but all I got was the same recording playing over and over again. Quite frustrating! 👎

Said it was some sort of motor accident claims department or something like that. Asked for his address but when I asked him to give me a moment, he just kept pushing me to listen. Had an accent that sounded like he was from the Indian subcontinent, and his English wasn’t very clear. Ended up hanging up. Complete waste of time.

A bloke with a really thick Indian accent said he was ringing from the Motor Insurance Bureau, which I’d never heard of before. I asked him how he got my number and he said I must have called them.

This afternoon, my phone rang, and on the other end was a chap with an Indian accent inquiring if we had experienced any mishaps recently. I swiftly informed him that we’re signed up with the Telephone Preference Service. He claimed he was aware of that, but I didn't let him finish and rather emphatically directed him elsewhere before he could say another word.

Ring me up yesterday at 3:01 pm - bloke with an Indian accent wanted to chat about 'my accident' and was taken aback when I said I haven’t had one in over twenty years, touch wood! He reckoned it must be someone I live with, but I live on me own, so no chance. He gave up after a while realising I was just wasting his time with this rubbish. Didn’t even bother asking for anyone by name. Damn scammers, or as Ramsay Bolton from Game of Thrones said, “Throw them to the dogs”!!!

Today, I received a phone call from a complete imbecile claiming there was a car accident involving me. I quickly recognized this person as a scammer and didn't hesitate to give him a piece of my mind. I also made sure to block his number on my landline, which is, by the way, registered with TPS (Telephone Preference Service). It's high time the government takes serious action against these harassers!

Got called by one of those accident helpline scams from India again. Didn’t hang around long before I started rattling off some Indian swear words I know! That got boring quick, so I switched to some English insults with an Indian accent just for fun. Seemed to confuse them well enough haha. Now I’m thinking of spinning a fake murder story on them next time :-) It’s so frustrating these scams are still going on. I’m baffled BT and others haven’t made these firms pay a big deposit they lose if complaints pile up.

I picked up the phone and some bloke with an Indian accent started on about a car crash. I kept asking him questions to get him to talk himself into a corner. After a while, I told him I don’t have a car (which is true) and told him to get lost, pretty bluntly.

I guess an individual from India really disappoints both the subcontinent and the people in the United Kingdom. However, all the Indians I have come across work extremely diligently, for up to 19 hours a day, and their motivation comes from being business owners. It's interesting how different they are, isn't it? This person who is against us is more than welcome to clean the cathedral floor, which is also a 19-hour job with no breaks. Oh, and by the way, the same old story about a car accident! I let him rant and agreed to his demands until his self-indulgent pleasure was exhausted. Then, I told him he had dialled the wrong number as I don't own a car, and I kindly suggested that he ask his hard-working parents if he could work at the cash register while beginning to clean the floor on Saturday midnight.

Got a call from this number earlier today, a woman who said her name was Ronnie. She insisted I’d been in an accident that wasn’t my fault. When I asked who she wanted, she curtly said “the owner of this number.” Bit rude if you ask me. I told her to remove me from their calling list. When I asked where she was calling from, she said Accident Helpline in Manchester. Asked for her phone number and she just hung up on me. The number that showed on my phone was 02088686472.

07/01/2016 Phone went off but I was slow to answer. I didn’t know the number so I looked it up on Google. Oddly, it happened just about 5 minutes after someone in my family called their insurance to renew and ask about an old claim. Could be a total coincidence I suppose. Our number is also on the TPS. Its crazy that these big phone companies can't seem to put a stop to this annoying thing.

Told him straight away this was a TPS registered number and calling it is against the law. Asked him again who he was but then he just hung up. With all the tech we have now, you'd think there'd be a better way to block these annoying calls.

Received a call earlier from the mentioned phone number. The individual on the line, a woman, claimed to represent an energy company. However, when we mentioned that our number is registered with the TPS (Telephone Preference Service), she responded in a rude and verbally aggressive manner. She even went so far as to threaten that the calls would increase in frequency. This encounter was incredibly unpleasant. It is of utmost importance that action is taken to remove this person from making such calls, as their behavior could potentially frighten and harm elderly or vulnerable individuals.

I received a phone call around 6:00 PM, and for the 40 minutes prior, there was silence. Earlier, I had a call from my mobile phone, which also turned out to be silent. The phone number displayed was 07746449619, and interestingly, this number called twice within a minute as I missed the first call. I have noticed on various websites that when the caller actually does speak, they mention phoning about a previous call. This suggests that these two numbers could be connected to a potential scam.
