My wife had a strange telephone call earlier. Someone called her new cell number (had it for 3 weeks) and asked for her by her maiden name. We have been married for 18 months.

Anyway he went into saying about some sort of insurance claim for 1600 quid she was supposed to be receiving for being in some car crash, which she hasn't??

She said she thought he was incorrect and he put the phone down. This stinks of fraud!!

What should we do, we have the number.

EDIT
just googled it seems we're not alone

id report it to the cops, and the telephone people... sounds pretty dodgy

DO NOT CALL THE NUMEBR BACK. My Mum had somehting like this, called back to check and ended up with a massive bill having phoned some premium rate line in Guatemala (or somewhere foreign).

Let your phone Co know and call the feds.

Happy New Year

It is shocking how many people are having their time wasted by these cranks. Someone needs to go postal at their office.
