I do not answer calls from unrecognised numbers - instead I call them back but withhold my number, to determine the validity of the incoming call. The number is continuously engaged when you call back. Always a bad sign. I've blocked this number.

Ringing about an accident I haven't had. I told him that I definitely remember it and do not want to talk about it as it is too upsetting, then hung up.

Received the same call today as all the other comments, claimed to be about a road accident - when I said they had the wrong number they hung up immediately

I never answer numbers I don't recognise. However I have had several calls, answered one to a lady who claimed to be called Jessica with an Indian accent. I told her to remove my number!

Called saying I had an road incident that was not my fault and it had to be cleared. Asked who was calling and tried to keep me talking. Don’t usually answer unknown callers, but answered this as it was an 0161 number

Indian sounding polite young man tried to tell me that my compensation claim for an accident with personal injuries needed to be paid out, so I I asked about the accident details and he couldn’t give me any, kept him engaged as long as I could so as to waste his time. He denied it was a scam. It is a scam.
