Had a call from this number yesterday, wanted to know if I was in a car accident in the last three years, I said no and he just hung up.
Received a call from this number, did not hear anyone speak... Then they hung up.
I tried to call back but apparently the number was disconnected.
I received a missed call from this number a couple of days ago and I tried to call back to see who it was and it said number disconnected. I just had a call from this number, they asked to speak to me by name, not knowing the number I advised I was speaking. He said he was sorry to bother me and he wouldnt bother me for much longer. He said he was calling from a company called "Insure" and wanted to ask me a few questions. I assumed it was a telemarketer and said "I am at work and please don't call me again" and I hung up. I then received another call from the same number again and when I answered it the guy was making stupid noises down the phone. (stupid).
Have had two calls in the last two days from this number. I never answer unfamiliar numbers so checked voice mail and two different irish guys left a message asking to speak to me directly. Glad I googled the number now.
This number called and was asking about my car and other details and when we started asking questions about him the man said he will call back in 5 minutes and hung up.
This number just called my mother asking her about a recent car accident, and he would tell her his name he ask if anyone in her family had been in a car accident, she hang up and told me so I am guessing but think its scammers.
This number just called me and told me it was in regards to a car accident I was in. HOrrible!
I had calls from this number and it is spam. Don't answer it.
Call at 8pm!! Then don't speak!!
Very helpful with my case, people say there scammers but ive actually recieved $7800 for my case when I was involved in a vehicle accident back in october 2014, I suffered discomfort to my back and neck which I then was tranferred to a lawyer who pursued my case further....
Very muffled call, man asking if I was involved in any accidents. He had an accent, and was very hard to hear him talk. I assume it was a spam call and just hung up.
I got a call from 02 8766 0641 - guy in UK, perhaps Liverpool accent claiming to be talking on behalf of Insurance Accident Advice bureau - I asked for proof of ID and would not give it, asked for supervisor and name of company all muffled and claimed he was supervisor - is clearly a scam though what its actually for I have no idea.
Just got a call.
Very muffled.
Didn't say anything to me besides hello.
Even if this is a scam, I don't get why they don't continue with it? Whats the benefit in ringing and hanging up?
Pretty dumb scammer if all the are able to do is waste their own time and money on making calls lol.
Anyway, I'm poor so there is no money to steal and I have plenty of time on my hands for a chat!
I just got a call from the same people not once but twice and they even had my name asking me if I was in a car accident in the last 3 years, I asked them if they were a scam and he hung up on me.
They just called me and it was a lady with a English accent about a car accident that I was in and I haven't been in one. She hung up after my boyfriend said hello who is this.
I just received a call from this f*ker, I hung up didn't give him a chance to say anything then blocked him immediately, Yes I'm also with Optus... Why isn't Optus doing something about this knowing he's a spammer?
Recieved a call when I called back was told an invalid number so I tried again and was told the number was disconnected. I immediately added to reject list. Beware this is new!!!!!!!.
Hi, I just had a call from this number, he sounded almost like English/Newcastle accent, I hung up as he refused to give information, I called back and received a "the number you have dialled has been currently disconnected. Also he asked was I involved in a motor vehicle accident. I hope someone catches this tricky scammer!!!
Just had a call from this scam, asked if I had been in an accident recently, very muffled call, very thick accent from the scammer. He would not give any details apart from his name was David....
Yep, I smell a scam. That man with the northern England accent stating my number was obtained from 'various company sources' then trying to sell me some dodgy offshore investment scheme, before I hung up....
Got a miss call from 02 8766 0641, I called back and got voice "The number you try to dial has been disconnected". Must be scam.
My friend just recieved the same call some bs about a car accident or anyone in the house if they'd had one had her name when she said no they bailed on the call.
Got a call from this number last night and was asked for by name, strange because my phone isn't in my name anyway. Said where he was from, then asked if me or anyone in my household had been in a car accident lately. The answer was no, however, I continued to ask questions. When I asked how he got my phone number he quickly said "sorry for bothering you" and hung up. Creepy!
Got a call from this number and when I answered he took a few seconds to talk to me. Was a Manchester/Newcastle/Northener accent asking me by full name. Saying he was calling from "car accident bereau" or something like that about a car accident I've had in the past few years. I asked him to repeat who he was and what's it regarding, he told me again. I told him he had the wrong information. There was a delay with all his answers. He then hung up.
I receive a phone call this afternoon on my husband phone which I had because he was working, and they knew my name, and then they hangup, the number they were calling from was 0287660641. And my husband got home from work he called this number and Optus said this number is disconnected.
Received a call from this number asking if I had been involved in a motor vehicle collision? Also tried to call back as the person cut off and got "Optus advises that the number has been disconnected".
I received a call in the evening saying they were from A Shaw insurance the message was very garbled and people and babies crying in background. They then asked if I could hear them and suggested that they were calling in regards to a minor motor accident. When I said that I had not had any motor accidents minor or otherwise they asked if anyone else in the house had any accidents I said no and they agreed to remove my information from their records and rung off. I searched for the insurance and of course nothing, Then I reverse searched the number and got to this page. Please be careful everyone. What do these people gain from doing this.
Just had a call from this same number, when I answered there was no one on the line, I called the number back and I got a message saying Optus regrets that the number you are calling is not connected??, wtf. scammers!!!!!, don't answer.
Called and asked for someone similar surname and I asked him to spell it and got it wrong. English accent.. Muffled (headset from call centre I'm guessing) apologised and hung up. Telemarketer.

Man with strong English accent claims he was from some insurance company wanting to discuss a possible motor vehicle accident I had in the past 3 yrs.
I have also just had a nuisance call from this very same number... Gentleman with a strong English accent - sounds like Vicky Pollard from Little Britain... I actually thought it was a mate pulling my leg at first... Spoke very quickly so I couldn't make out where he was calling from but stated wanted to know whether I had had motor vehicle accident in the past 3 years... He knew my name... I asked where he was calling from... He stated Accident Advice Bureau (there is NO AAB in Australia - I checked) ... I asked where he obtained my contact details from... He stated they get their details from all the major insurance companies... I know for a fact you have to CONSENT to insurance companies providing your private contact details so I ighlighted I had NOT consented to any third parties contacting me by my car insurer and I was at work... He apologised and I hung up on him ...
Got a call from this number, didn't recognised. Looked it up on Google... Found this site with exact number. Comments made me glad I didn't answer it.
I just had a call from this number, the guy had a strong accent and he knew my name. After he asked to speak to me I said ok not knowing what it was about and then he hung up. I tried to call back to see who it was and it said number disconnected. So glad I googled the number.
Just had a call from this number.. Man with strong English accent claims he was from some insurance company wanting to discuss a possible motor vehicle accident I had in the past 3 yrs. He got heavy with me when I started asking him when and exactly did this supposed accident happen.. He then said I was possibly entitled to some money as a claim... I havnt had no car accidents and when I asked him to email me something he said they don't have email.. FFS its 2015, what company doesn't have email.. SCAMMER FOR SURE.
This number has been calling me for a few days now. Tried calling back - "number not connected". I'm going to report as spam.
I had the same thing happen. He even knew my name.. I said I haven't had an accident and how the hell do you know my name.. He eventually hung up. So annoying.. Ive had this number call 3 times in the last 3 days.. He told me he was from 'after care' and wanted to know how I was coping after my so called accident... Wtf..
I'd had 3 missed calls from this number over the last 2 days but was able to answer it just now. Man with Pommy/Scottish voice who asked about an accident I had in the past 2 years. When I told him I rear-ended another vehicle but wasn't injured and the sole occupant of my vehicle he said he could now close the case. What case??? He said he was from ESure which I Googled and found is an insurance company in the UK Reading these comments I now realise that if I had said I was injured I might have been scammed.
This really scared me - female voice checking that she is talking to me, and then all I hear is something about accident, and line cut. This time my husband is traveling home... Rang back to the number "This number is no connected...", then hubby doesn't answer, now checking number here. Thanks this site, now I can relax!
Yea I just got a call from this number & asking me to see if I was in a car accident, I hung up on him. As he has rang me over the last 2 weeks or so, what is this guys deal???
