After getting calls for weeks unanswered from this number and reading these comments I decided to play. I answered with grays psychic services and told him I knew why he was ringing. I think I surprised him when I said I had a car accident three months ago and was hoping he was going to help with the insurance for the 4 people I killed while talking on my phone while driving. He asked if I was driving now and I said yeah but don't worry I have Bluetooth. Then he babbled on so I played along. Then he asked for my account number to transfer the funds. Gave him random numbers and he started giggling. I asked what was funny and he said nothing was. I said the only funny thing is I have kept you on the line long enough for your call to be traced and the federal police now have his details. A quick hang up hahaha

Scam claiming that you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident!

Company that uses another number to dial out and we only see the number as (02) 9188 2100 hence why you can not call them back. They are a company from England Insurance Scammers other numbers are (02) 8103 3070 and on (02) 8188 3812

When asked about the accident I said you mean the one my husband and son was killed in? Yes I was driving and I lost my whole family. I am still in shock I can't leave my house. How can you help me. He asked You lost your Husband and Son? Yes I said how are going to help me? He apologized and said never mind and hung up. It was like a scene from days of our lives =)

"The ACMA are at FAULT by not introducing a system to BLOCK these calls."
These calls originate overseas, with computer generated fictitious numbers so they cannot be easily traced or blocked.

Another caller testing my block filter and confirming that it works perfectly.

Many calls originate overseas from computers using fake numbers so complaining to Telstra will not solve the problem.

If you want to block nuisance calls like this one, you now have the option of buying a phone from a Telstra Shop that can do this, it is called the Telstra Call Guardian 301. The phone is well worth the investment. Numbers you block will hear the following message; “Calls to this number are being monitored by Telstra Call Guardian; The person you are trying to contact is not accepting your calls, so please hang up”. Callers you place in your contacts list will get through as usual but anyone with a private or hidden number or a number that is not in your contacts list will hear this message; “calls to this number are being monitored by Telstra Call Guardian; Please state your name and then press # and we will connect your call”. You will then have the option of either accepting or rejecting the call.

Other devices such as Fritz!Box modem router also have call blocking features.

Called this afternoon claiming they were from a company called E Shore/E Shaw and they were phoning about an car accident I was involved in. Told him I had no idea what he was on about and he apologised and said he would remove my number from their register?! Scam scam scam!!! 😠

Got the same call today, guy with Irish accent, played along and said that's strange as my car is a fleet vehicle and they arrange it all. He was "oh yes they referred your case". Funny I said I work for the Australian government and they do this stuff in house - he hung up pretty quickly after that!

I'm getting a sports whistle. Will keep them on the line long enough to give him a big blast.. Suggest others do the same to these scammers. The color language i used has no impact at all

Rang on my mobile. Told them it was a company phone and that Bette could not take this call. They apologised and hung up.

I received a call from that number on Friday 3rd, and again Monday 6th. Nobody speaks, then they hang up

As soon as the loser said "car accident" I told him to f*ck off and hung up

Oh that would be Mark

Been called today, in victoria - a missed call. also was called late last week with a message about motor vehicle accident vaguely.

Love your response! LMAO

Tried calling three more times today. Glad I read all the above (below?). When I answer next time they call I wll use a line from Stephen Lynch's playbook and say nothing but Buttplugs on repeat until they go away :P

Received a call this morning 3/2/2017 from a lady re car accident

I've have 5 calls from this number.. same deal...accident insurance rubbish. I've only had a minor incident with a couple of kangaroos and doubt they filed anything (don't believe them if they did, kangaroos are known to be liars...it was definitely THEIR fault). I told the pleasantly spoken English accented guy that he should be ashamed of himself for trying to scam people and to go and get a real job. Hung up.

The person who called me didn't make much sense. Very poor communication skills and a harsh accent made for a laughable conversation. I managed to hear 'car accident last year'...I questioned that man for a bit and he ended up hanging up.

I just had one of these calls. He tried to tell me he was from Newcastle. I told him I havnt been involved in an accident and I am on all do not call registers. He tried to stir me up. I won't say what I actually said but informed him to stop calling from overseas and to have a good Australia Day. We need to be able to stop these call easier. Pricks

when you answer hangs up Australian number
