Called asking saying they were a solicitor and talking about my recent car accident. They are asking if I had signed any paperwork and if my insurance had payed me out yet. When I asked who my insurance was at the time of the accident they kept saying no no and reiterating about signing documents and my pay out. As they couldn’t answer my question which asked the same thing 5 times, the lady became really annoyed so I put the phone down.
