Scam/Fraud
30 Jul 2025

I received 2 calls on consecutive days: the caller stated he was from the Traffic Bureau with remit to investigate motor accident claims c/o The ABI (Assoc of British Insurers). Caller had correct date of car accident and contact info related to on-going motor insurance claim. Caller terminated the call when I enquired about his organisation's website address. My insurer has subsequently advised me to refer this call to the police.

company is Gamma Telecom Holdings Ltd. Keep calling me on various 0161 509 no's asking me to invest in scam deals. My elderly mother has recieved these called up to 12 times a day. No's are 0161 509 1836 / 0161 509 1854 - and other variants of the last 2 digits making them near impossible to block.
