Abusive IRISHMAN who refused to tell me where he is from.

Caller: Ben/Brent from Follow Up Services

My mum accidentally handed my details over to these guys. English accent asked if I'd been in an MVA in the last 12 months (I have and I've only just started coming back to work after 4 months in hospital) and if I knew that there was a lump sum payment allocated to me. I asked them to get in contact with my lawyer at Maurice Blackburn and the response was "Who's Maurice Blackburn?"


Really?? They've only had the exact same ad on the back of the Yellow Pages for the last 20 years. Plus, if you were involved in insurance and MVA's in any capacity, you'd know who Maurice Blackburn were...

Caller: They called me

English man. Asked to speak to the manager. Was put on hold then spoke to the same guy but he tried to say he was someone different.
He called me a liar and would not let me speak. Asked for my number to be deleted. Let’s see if they ring back

Scam call. Recorded msg about having an accident. I might be entitled to compensation. Press 1 for yes, 2 for no. I hung up. Will block this number now.

Scam call. Constant caller. Best option is to block.

Caller: (08) 6117 3811

I've contacted the ACCC. So obviously a scam, the Northern England man didn't get very far with me. I'm calling him back to tell him the ACCC is on to him.

Missed call, so I phoned them back - yes they were keen to "discuss a car accident that I may have had". I laughed at her, and she actually laughed back.

Caller: (08) 6117 3811

English bloke asking about car crash in last 12 months, strange scam wonder how he knew my name.

I received a missed call from this number. Given what I have just read, I am glad I didn't answer.

What baffles me is how they got my number, given that it's unlisted.

Caller: A man from Liverpool

A man, who I'm guessing from his accent was from Liverpool... I immediately told him to take my mobile number off his company's database. He said "don't you want to know what the call's about?" Knowing he was going to try and sell me something I said "No." He said, "It could be about the death of someone." I said, "Highly unlikely." He said "Well, if you don't want to know who's died" and then hung up. Hence, I looked up the number, and lo and behold, others have been treated the same!!

I said hello to trigger a response (coz if you dont it just hangs up) and it said something like
"Word Call Centre - there is no one to take your call" FFS - they called me

I recently received a call from this number and called them back and they answered with follow up services, and then I googled the number and getting all this scam messages about number, beware

Missed a call from the above number, so I rang back... UK Liverpool accent man asked if I had been in a motor vehicle accident recently.I said 'no', he said 'I'll advise the team to remove your phone number from the list, enjoy the rest of your day'. sh*t!! Nearly got caught by this telemarketing/scam.

Liverpool accent said his name was Brent. Scam want to get compensation for not all fault motor vehicle accidents.

Caller: After Care Services

I had a missed call so called back and asked who they were.
English accented female said they were ‘after care services’ and had I had an accident in the last 12 months.
My answer was no and I asked were they an insurance company?
She said no and that they had my number by misinformation
Don’t tell them anything !

Caller: Male with a UK accent.

This is was the second unsolicited call from the same number wanting to talk about your " recent traffic accident ". Just a scam. Caller had a UK accent. I told him to f**k Off and then blocked the number. The (08) prefix indicates that the calls are originated in Western Australia.

I rang back the number and a recorded computer sounding message said hold the line your call is important to us but I hung up

I said hello to trigger a response (coz if you dont it just hangs up) and it said something like
"Word Call Centre - there is no one to take your call" FFS - they called me

Caller: (08) 6117 3811

I’m in WA

Caller: Some pommy bloke

Asked if I had been involved in a car accident recently. I said no and then he said okay thanks and hung up
