It's appalling to see such individuals preying on vulnerable people in our society, and the irony is that if someone were to take drastic action against them, they'd be labelled the villain instead.
Copart calls: what to do before handing over a vehicle
Summary — +441918144248
Expert Opinion
They note being asked if they work for DPD and treat it as a joke. Calls from +441918144248 appear to stem from Copart, a firm that handles written‑off vehicles and arranges their auction. Regardless of the caller’s legitimacy, UK data‑protection law obliges you to confirm identity before disclosing personal data. Ask for a callback number, verify the company’s official address and check the name against the FCA register or the Motor Trade Register. Never share driver’s licence numbers, bank details or insurance policies on the initial call. If the call feels pressured or vague, hang up and contact the organisation directly via a known website. Reporting suspicious numbers to Action Fraud helps protect others.
