This number called me stating i had been in a car accident. I informed them that this was actually an impossibility as at the time of the alleged accident i was actually in the middle if Beijing, China and my car was parked in a secure car park at home. Forcefully told them to remove me from their system asap.

Person rang new my name, saying I have had an accident, I was very rude as always. Sick of getting phone calls like these all the time !!!!!
I just phoned it back and it said thank you for calling Fresh Contacts! If you google it it's a legal marketing service!

I refuse to answer numbers I do not have on my contacts, I've just googled the number in question and came to the conclusion based on Mr Donnelly's post that this is yet another bullshit scam.
Got a call from this number yesterday at 14:53 telling me they'd heard I recently had an accident. I told them this was nonsense, they said okay and goodbye. The man knew my first name.
