Answered call as it was from local area - Kendal. Woman with southern (London) accent said that she was from the CAB and that she had been advised that I had had an accident recently. When I insisted that I hadn't she hung up. Scam.

Another illicit caller with spurious claims to be providing money "we did not know was ours" strange then they called on my mobile for my wife DODGY!!!!
She asked me if someone from this number had had an accident, when I said no, she asked me how mush was chicken and chips, seriously.
Keeps ringing no answer
Just got a call from this number, don't answer as I never do with numbers I don't recognise. Area code is unknown to me, fed up with calls and texts from cold calling companies!
Just got a missed call from this number. When I called back, a voice said the number was no longer in service.
Got a all from this number, knew it was a cold caller and decided to play along with him (since they were paying the bill!!!) , he had a foreign accent - which I could barely understand, so I said I may have gotten amnesia from my "so called" accident and was struggling to remember ever having an accident and asked him that if he knew I had an accident then he would be able to give me some details of what had actually happened so that I could start piecing my life back together (I haven't had an accident). The line went very quiet then the next thing he said was well if you can tell me exactly what happened then we could make a claim!!!! Told him I couldn't remember then he hung up.
Got a call from this number asking about an accident I had. When asked I wasn't aware of any accident and who was it calling. The young girl stuttered and unconvincingly stated she was from an accident compensation company. I called the number back but got an automated message saying the number was no longer available. Very strange??!!
Had a missed call from this number before if it is CAB they have been branching out to finance and accidents. It's a con number
Got a call from this number at gone 18:00 and the location came up along with the number. When I answered nobody spoke, the call hung up instead. Called back the number and was told that the service is no longer available.
Said I had an accident in the last 2.5 years (I haven't) Hung up when I said they were talking rubbish
They are something calling itself the Accident Advice Bureau. I suspect they are a bunch of ambulance chasing lawyers. The quality of their outbound calling agents is very poor. They are persistent, though, I'll give them that, four calls in five days on my mobile, despite me saying (with increasing ferocity each time) that I am not interested. As they have not had my permission to call me, and they do not have a prior relationship with me, they are clearly in breach of the Information Commission Data Protection Rules.
Just called me stating they are AH Legal and wanted to talk about my "recent car accident". Lady with foreign accent. I hung up without comment.
Male asking for me by my first name. I asked if I could help (I do not identify myself until they tell me who is calling and why), and he hung up. What game do these people think they are playing? Useless individual!
Received a call from this number today, I did not answer as not recognised by myself. Who are they?
