keep getting calls from this number 0290995464 wanting to discuss and acident I had last month when I say Ididnt have one they hang up.

Person addressed me by name. I asked where he got my details and said it was a third party insurance company. (Problem was I had had a not at fault bump recently) Told him I didn't believe it until he could tell me how he had my name and numbet as many scams of thos nature. He kept calling me 'love' and had an English sounding accent.

What ever you don't say "YES". They phrase the question so you say yes. They will record your response and may be able to impersonate you and steal your identity.

this was a scam caller from overseas about 'damage to my vehicle'

Why won't / can't the Telcos in Australia block these people?! These calls have been coming in to my mobile from Ireland, Boston, the U.K. and Sydney for several years now. They lie and they cajole. Some days they don't stay on the line and on other days they try and tell you that you were in a no-fault accident (um, NO). I'd hate to think how they are treating elderly people who may not understand why they are calling and inadvertently give them info. It's very worrying. These people are fraudsters of the worst sort. How they got your number is never disclosed. If you request to be taken off the list to receive calls they simply hang up. And call you more often for consecutive days after and occasionally subjecting you to silence on the end of the phone. Which is straight up harassment. One day they identified themselves as Direct Assist in an Enflish accent  but hung up on me when I tried to get more information about who they were but refused to give my name. They have been massively fined in the UK for this predatory and harassing behaviour. Time Australia imposed penalties on such corporate malfeasance.

hangup

Missed call twice - no message left - when I called it back it states " your call could not be connected"  SCAM

Keep getting calls from this number. Twice today and once yesterday. When answered they hang up.

Had this number call me twice today and once the other day. Just answer then hang up. Soo over it

Must be a scam!!

Phone number  has called several times recently and again a month ago. Claims I had a motor vehicle claim, but hangs up as soon as I say that is incorrect. This this it was a UK/Scottish voice. If you try and dial number it will say it is not connected.

Calls most days and then hangs up if I answer. If you ring back the number is stated to be disconnected.

Scottish man saying he was from Direct Assist.  Asking me about repairs I have had done to my car in the last 6 months. When I said "none", he said that it must be 12 months. I asked what car he was talking about and ye was able to tell the make of the car. I told him I couldn't give him any further information and he hung up.

Just got called today - same pattern as many of you above  - small delay, then inaudible voice, then hangs up

very helpful helped me get the money back i was entitled to very polite might i add i got  $13,000 compensation and it did not cost me a single dollar.
thankyou

This is a scammer for sure - same First Assist accident call. I'm afraid they recorded my voice for voice verification purposes.

Just got a call from this number. Guy sounded irish? Hard to understand. Told me he was from some insurance company about a not-at-fault accident claim i had. I told him i didnt have any accidents, and just as i was about to call him out as a scam, he hung up.

Scam!!!

same thing happening to me

As mentioned by others - numbers keeps calling and leaves no voice messages - sometimes 2 + times in same day. What ever the scan I hope it's costing them money to compensate for the time wasting on our side

American accent porporting to be Tax Office all gloom and doom
