Minor road accident but couldn't tell me where or when! Hung up!₩
Answered call, someone declaring to be from a non-fault accident firm (third party thing) to Phish for details.
Said hello and when I asked where they were calling from hung up.
Saying I've been in a car accident the past 2 years and the other driver has accepted liability. Unable to verify any of my details when asked before hanging up. I have been in no accident. SCAM!
According to their non-existent database, I have been in a serious car accident!
Accident claims company, so called.
