Phoned my grandsons number (he's 14) saying he needs to change his SIM card, trying to get further details, fortunately his mother answered the call. It's a shame these people and other fraud/con callers can't be tracked down and dealt with "appropriately'".

They said it was about an accident claim and then mentioned my car registration. When I asked them to repeat, they hung up.

The caller mentioned something about accident claims and even brought up my car registration. I asked them to say it again and they just hung up on me. Very pushy.
