"I believe you've been involved in a car accident" ?

Spent 15 minutes once telling them how traumatic it had been as my dog had died in the crash and I broke down 2 or 3 times on the call. They hung up on me eventually.
 
All the bloody time. Doesn’t matter how many numbers I block.

I genuinely try my best to play along - but I can’t even get them to scam me! I’ve answered every question as if I’ve been in a accident, make up a date etc. Then they say ‘that’s great thanks’ and nothing happens!

annoying fuckers.
 
I got one of them, but instead they called me and said "Hi, I'm calling about the car accident your parents were in". My parents were on holiday at the time and I shit myself for a split second, before their next line of "do you know they are entitled to compensation?". At which point I just yelled, "oh fuck off!" and slammed down the phone. Absolute cunts

As irritating as these might be to you, I'm sure we would prefer to see people in jobs than unemployed.

As a side note, I work in sales and the most irritating trait of people in this country is that no one is straight with you. If you've bought something elsewhere, don't dodge the call, answer and be honest.

Nice one. Are you available for weddings?
 
I used to get loads of unsolicited phone calls, then I bought a BT phone that included call monitoring.

If they want to talk to me they have to say who they are after they have listened to a message. My phone rings it tells me who is wanting to speak to me, I can accept or block.

Obviously if there is an Indian voice saying he is Robert from Microsoft, I can just block it.

Guess what I have not had one nuisance call since I installed this phone.
 
I put some wheels on the trader last week and received around a dozen accident claim calls from India. Then today as a backup I placed the same advertisement on Gumtree and within 1 minute of posting the phone kicked off big style.

My record today is 32 minutes and 31 seconds before termination of call. We discussed the accident at the roundabout, my recent Birthday and my injuries in great detail and also all of the presents I received from my daughters, and our recent corona virus testing results and if they had the virus, where he came from and how his family was coping with lock-down.

Then we did the date and time of accident and then the door knocked so I just put him on hold and when I came back he was gone .. how rude. Autotrader and Gumtree are ideal hunting grounds for them as they have already established you own a car, so the eventual law of averages will produce them an occasional victim.

Get about 1 a month at work and if I'm not busy I string them along....up to the usual question
" and how did the accident happen "

To which I reply
" I dont know, I was as pissed as fart at the time..."

I then wait for them to end the conversation.

THe other one I use is

" well I lifted myself off the seat, passed wind and that's when the accident happened..."
