The pattern here is classic insurance scam – callers claim you’ve been in a car accident you never had, introduce themselves as Julia Smith from ‘Sigma’, then disappear or hang up. They’re after personal details or a callback that can rack up charges. If you get a silent or abrupt call, let it go straight to voicemail and never share any information. Add the number to your block list, report it to the phone provider and, if you’re in the UK, forward the details to the Action Fraud website. Keep an eye on your bank statements for any unauthorised activity and stay sceptical of unsolicited claims.
The caller's behavior was extremely aggressive, using profanity and attempting to deceive by claiming to be from a government company

This number, 0161 265 0103, called but I didn't answer.
It's suspicious that after sharing my number with a Wiltshire Police Officer, I received a call claiming I was involved in an accident, which suggests a scam.
Number is unknown to me
An attachment was sent from this number, and I didn't feel secure about opening it, so I replied asking for their identity. However, I couldn’t send a message to this number. There’s no way I'm opening what they sent.
I received a call about a fictional accident I was supposedly involved in.
Another accident scam call. These are everywhere. Scams like this can work. To protect vulnerable individuals, don't ignore these calls or texts. Report them all to the police database. This helps the police understand the type and extent of these scams. Reporting is easy. Search 'action fraud', visit the 'police.uk' site, click the 'reporting' icon, and select the phishing section. Scroll past the scam email info to start. No registration needed, and it takes no longer than posting here. Still, post here to warn others. Stay safe everyone.
A call came through from this number, but I chose not to answer since I avoid unknown contacts.
Spam calls, best not to answer
I've reported and blocked this number now
My wife and I have had the same experience: answering only to have the caller hang up on us.
The number called me twice, but I didn't pick up as it indicated 'potential fraud'. After checking this site, I will be blocking them.
My mobile received a call from 0161 265 0103. After searching, I discovered others had reported it
There was no conversation; the caller simply disconnected the line.
I received a text about a missed call from this number, which my phone flagged as a potential scam, so I blocked and reported it
I just received a phone call. I picked up thinking it was my GP, who is supposed to call me. I introduced myself, but there was no response, and then they hung up.
Two consecutive calls were made, but they were not answered in time. However, after reviewing comments, the number has been blocked.
Inquired if I had been in an accident, to which I replied "Yes". Once transferred, I joked that I had soiled my pants and asked if there was someone I could sue.
The caller claimed to be from 'Sigma', asking about an accident in the last few years, but hung up imediatly, dont engage with them
A recent call inquired about having an accident that wasn't my fault, which is surprising given the current circumstances and the non-essential nature of such calls.
Upon answering, the caller immediately disconnected
Yet another nuisance call
My phone flagged this number as potential fraud on 10/07 at 14:08, which was confirmed upon checking this platform. It appears to be another instance of a car crash fraud call.
this number has been identified as a spam caller
This number has been blocked and a report was filed
It's about time authorities took action against these pesky cold calls, particularly from accident claims companies that engage in fishing expeditions, and those responsible should face imprisonment, not just shutdowns.
Predictably, this number belongs to an accident claims company attempting to fish for information. Having recently changed my phone number, it's concerning to see how quickly it's been shared; both EE and Virgin claim it wasn't them. It's high time the government took action against these cold calls, going beyond just shutting them down and instead imposing stricter penalties, including imprisonment
I have no clue who it was, as the line was silent for a moment before I ended the call
I beleive this to be a scam attempt
