Phone number ☎️ 02578963526 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving cold calls from an overseas call centre, often with a strong Indian accent. Callers falsely claim the recipient has been involved in a recent car accident and attempt to gather personal information. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, the calls continue, frequently using unassigned or spoofed numbers. Attempts to verify caller identity or request details typically result in hang-ups. The calls are widely recognised as fraudulent and linked to aggressive accident claims operations. Recipients are advised to block such numbers and exercise caution, as legitimate organisations would not use these tactics. Authorities are urged to take stronger action against these illegal and intrusive marketing practices.

8 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Indian accent, the line was all crackly. He kept talking about a car crash I was involved in - problem is, I don’t even own a car! Said they found my info from some accident database or whatever. I’m signed up with the TPS, told him he was breaching the rules with his sales call, and then he just ended the call.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent who said he was from some 'Road...' something, but there was so much noise in the background I couldn't catch exactly what company he was with - sounded like a call centre for sure. Before he could say much, I told him he’d rung the wrong number and cut him off. When will the authorities actually step up and deal with these annoying phone pests? Hopefully not years down the line!8 yearsThose cold calling idiots are seriously the worst.8 yearsGot a call from a man with an Indian accent, saying I could claim compensation for a car accident from the past couple of years. He claimed his number came from some Accident Database. When I told him he was making it up, he just ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier and my answerphone caught it, but they didn’t leave any voicemail. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now. Feels good knowing they had to shell out for the call, not me!8 yearsBeware of dodgy accident claim scams! I received a call this morning at precisely 9:31 from a bloke with a thick Indian accent going by the name of Darren. He claimed I’d had a mishap - I could see where this was going, but I humoured him. When he quizzed me about when it all happened, I casually replied, “Oh, just last week.” His reaction was priceless - a stunned “LAST WEEK?” came out, and after a brief pause, he abruptly hung up. It was clear they were probing for very fresh incidents, likely hoping to hastily launch into some underhanded investigation con that involves ambulance-chasing alongside their ilk. I reckon they have a crafty bunch of avaricious "legal advisors" behind them here in the UK. This isn't the first time they've tried this routine using various numbers, so take heed and stay sharp! I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet these annoying calls still manage to slip through my defenses! Absolute nuisances!DarrenUKTelephone Preference Service8 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call from a chap of Asian descent, seemingly working in a crowded call centre. The line was noticeably crackly, making the conversation quite a chore. He claimed that I had been involved in a car accident not too long ago. Quite the revelation, considering I haven’t been behind the wheel in over five years! When I inquired about how he obtained my information, it went eerily quiet on the other end. His English seemed rather rehearsed, and he struggled to articulate himself properly. Quite a strange encounter, I must say!8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent asking about a car crash. The line was really crackly, so I asked how he got my number since we’re on the do not call list and telephone preference service. He just went quiet and didn’t reply. I’m blocking the number now.XDNC8 yearsGot a call today that was dead silent on the other end, probably one of those auto-diallers from a call centre.8 yearsGot a call from someone overseas talking about a car crash I was supposed to have been in. I asked them for more info, then they just cut me off and ended the call!8 yearsI received a rather puzzling call from a gentleman whose command of English was quite limited. He insisted that I’d been involved in a car accident the previous week. Naturally, I denied this, and he then claimed it was a passenger from my vehicle who’d had the misfortune. Again, I asserted that this was not the case. At that point, I requested him to kindly take my number off his calling list. To my surprise, he simply hung up!8 yearsGot a call about a car crash, but I'm not even in the UK. They rang a few times over about ten mins.UK8 yearsI just got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from an accident claims firm. The moment I mentioned I wasn’t in any accident, they quickly ended the call.India8 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded Indian. The connection was really bad and I could barely make out what he was saying, so I just ended the call.8 yearssome bloke from abroad kept ringing me, told him to stop over and over but he just wouldn’t listen!!!8 yearsI attempted to call this number, but it seems it’s not in service. Definitely smells like a scam to me! These con artists are at it again, trying to pull a fast one.8 yearsReceived a strange call from someone purporting to be with Admiral regarding a car accident that supposedly occurred last year. The thing is, I have absolutely no recollection of any such incident. When I pressed her for specifics like a name, type of vehicle, or registration, she claimed that they didn’t possess any of that information. Oddly enough, she kept insisting that I was the one involved in the accident, despite not knowing who answered the phone at the company! I pressed further for clarification, and then she abruptly ended the call. Quite baffling, really!8 yearsI got a call from someone with a weird accent saying they were from Admiral about a crash supposedly last year. It was my work number they used but they couldn’t tell me my name or what car was involved or any reg number! I’m pretty sure there was no accident and when I asked them for more info, they just ended the call on me!9 yearsIt was one of those call centres where nobody said a word. I ended up just hanging up.9 yearsI received a phone call from someone who claimed I’d been involved in a car accident over the last couple of years. When I pressed her about whether it was a sales pitch, she insisted it wasn’t. However, she brought up the supposed accident once more, and when I replied with a firm 'No', she abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!9 yearsSome guy with a foreign accent called me claiming I’d been in a car crash last month. Thing is, I haven't owned a car in over 15 years!9 yearsGot a call from this number but couldn’t answer, so no idea who was trying to reach me.
