Imagine receiving a call claiming you were involved in a car accident three years ago and urging you to file a claim. Most reports point to a fraudulent scam that uses vague legal‑sounding language to pressure victims. The safest approach is to hang up immediately, never share personal or financial details, and add the number to a call‑blocking list or app. Report the incident to Ofcom and the Information Commissioner’s Office, and consider forwarding the call log to a consumer‑rights forum. Regularly update your phone’s blocklist, and educate friends and family about the typical script to reduce future nuisance.
They say i been in car accident, try to scam me
Call immediately ends
Fed up with recieving calls about a claim, desperatly wish they would just cease! I've now blocked them on my phone.
Total waste of time, clearly a scam
I think it's pointless blocking individual number's, they just change them, so can someone tell me which app's or phone's can block the whole series, like 0207946xxxx, I've heard some galaxy phone's can do this too
Within a span of two hours, while I was at work, I received multiple calls from different 020 numbers, which I found extremely irritating; after answering the first call, it was abruptly cut off, leading me to suspect that the caller was trying to meet targets, prompting me to block the number.
The caller claimed I was involved in a car accident that was not my fault, which is a common scam tactic.
The caller claimed I had been in a car accident that wasn't my fault, but when I asked for more details, they couldn't provide any, so I blocked the number.
A woman called regarding an accident from three years ago, which I believe to be a scam, and I have since blocked the number, despite the Ministry of Justice's supposed efforts to curb such calls.
Severe penalties or bans should be imposed on such nuisance callers
The frequent calls from this number are a nuisance and extremely annoying
These persistent pests deserve nothing but misery.
I recieved a call from this number whilst i was at work, it was very annoying
I am totaly fed up with all these annoying call's!
Keeps calling from different numbers starting 0207946. Likely a scam.
Daily calls from this number have become a nuisance.
This is just spam, ignore it and dont call back if you get a short ring then a missed call alert
As soon as I answered, the line went dead. This is clearly a bothersome call.
To avoid further issues, it's advisable to block all numbers starting with 020 7946 using a suitable app, as these have been identified as fake and will continue to call from different numbers.
I've just been called by this number, although I didnt answer, it seems to be one of many similar calls I've recieved this month, which I've checked first on websites like this.
The number 02079461840 has been identified.
When I answered with a simple 'Hello', a recorded voice responded with 'Goodbye' straight away!
