Its a scam, they try and tell you they will pay you between 10 - 15 thousand for compensation from the a car accident you recently had. I played along for a good 10mins, I haven't been in or had a car accident. Thought I'd waste their time!!

Asking if I had a car accident

Caller: Car accident scam

Called asking about a "recent car accident claim" I had supposedly lodged. I don't own a car. The number is local but the caller has a strong Indian accent.

I'm guessing it's some sort of overpayment/refund scam - convince you they've sent you more money than they were supposed to (they really haven't sent you anything, but will con you into giving them access to your computer and internet banking account, and then use crude html code editing tricks to make it look like they've put money in your account). They then send you to buy gift cards to "pay the money back". See https://youtu.be/X4PllvUowaQ a video explanation of how this works.

When I answered, they just hang up. I am expecting important call therefor I phoned back but get blocked without it ringing.

I called back number (07) 3040 1376 rang once then gets disconnected automatically.

I recently claimed for a car accident and they rang me twice. I didn't answer either call. Thanks to previous posts, I have now blocked the number.

Caller: Some a**hole

Inquired about any accidents in last 3years, car was registered in my wife's name until she passed away 18months ago. a**holes

Claimed they were ringing from small claims. .. at 6.30pm !?!

They rang me again today i didn't answer again and a mumber search revealed its a scam

Caller: Didn't announce themselves

Asked if I had been:
1. involved in a car accident in past 2 years
2. injured in accident.
I answered yes to 1. and no to 2. and they hung up on me.

Caller: car accident scam

These people try me every week. Now that my blood boils I finally have blocked this number.

same as above : Indian accent guy asking if I was in a car crash in the last two years. told him no and he hanged up

Called about a recent car accident, kept saying they provide compensation from the government, didn't have my recent address, but had an older one and my full name from somewhere.
I asked where they got my details form - they it popped up in their database - couldn't get more info about it from them. When they started asking personal details I said I don't want to give them any. Was a guy with Indian accent.

Call is from a local number, but the lady that called had a strong indian accident and there was a delay in the phone. They call asking you if you have been in a car accident in the last 2 years. Said she was from Smash Repairs. It's a scam though, I haven't been in a car accident.

I missed the call, then dialled back, phone just ringing for a few minutes and then disonnected

accident scam.

Don't be so quick to say they're a scam. They called my daughter who had happened to have been in a car accident and they got her a $5K payout. Just saying.

Scam - asked if I had been in a car accident in the last 2 years - said no. They hung up on me. I blocked and reported

Caller: (07) 3040 1376

Same as other - personal injury - didn't let them get any further - knew my name!

Indian male advising that my mobile number was listed in regards to a car accident I apparently had in the last two years. He asked if that was true, I said no, he hung up
