Glasgow evenings bring these persistent nuisances, often ringing after dark when folks least expect it. Reports highlight a clear pattern of accident scams, where callers spin tales of dodgy crashes to lure you into fake claims. Some impersonate debt chasers like Advantis, but they fumble details like names or locations, screaming fraud. Others just hang up or stay silent, testing if you'll bite. It's all about harvesting personal info for identity theft. Block immediately and report to your provider—don't chat, as it confirms your number's live. If pressed, demand their details and hang up. Staying vigilant keeps these pests at bay without feeding their game.
Watch out, scam callers!! I've blocked this number myself. They employ multiple numbers starting with 0141 737 ****
Picked up but stayed silent; they disconnected after a pause. Now blocked
Fraud alert. Block immediately.
Took the call, but they just dropped it. Silent on their end and no voicemail either – blocked straight away, what a waste.
Con about accidents
Some Irish bloke rang claiming their driver was in a bump with me, but not my doing—sounded well off and I'm dead sure it was a con.
Scam about accidents
Posed as Advantis (a debt collection firm) urging an urgent callback after a text. They know nothing about your name or whereabouts. Ignore these fraudsters.
Stalker tracking locations, scam involving fake accidents.
Caller unknown, so I blocked and binned it quick.
FRAUD ALERT. More rubbish about an accident. Right after the identical caller tried from another line!
Con job. The caller claimed I could get compensation for a recent vehicle crash. I humoured them, asking which car they meant. They only mentioned a silver one, nothing on make, model, or plate. When I called out their rubbish details, they accused me of wasting time. What a laugh!
Fraud
Female voice saying I'd had a car crash. High time these get auto-blocked upon reports.
No one answered. No voicemail was left. Likely a scam.
