Motor Assist accident scam – how to protect yourself!
Summary — +441312048766
Expert Opinion
Like a phantom driver on a deserted lane, the calls from +441312048766 drift in, insisting you were involved in a car accident that never happened. Most recipients describe a pattern of rapid, repeat dialing, vague insurer references and immediate hang‑ups when asked for proof – classic hallmarks of a scam. The number often masquerades as a local Edinburgh line, exploiting trust in familiar area codes. Best practice is to let the call go to voicemail, never disclose personal or financial details, and add the number to your block list. Report the nuisance to the Telephone Preference Service and, if needed, to Action Fraud. Staying alert to spoofed identifiers and using call‑screening tools can curb further harassment.
