AI Summary
Based on 5 community reports
This Barnsley number is making cold calls about accidents and insurance claims that recipients never had. Multiple reports describe callers claiming to be from legal or claims departments, asking about car accidents from "last year" or similar vague timeframes. One caller was persistent even when told the recipient doesn't own a car.
The number has also branched into property-related calls, with reports of questions about damp or mould in homes. This suggests the operation behind this number is running multiple claims farming scams designed to gather personal information or generate fake compensation claims.
These calls are classic examples of speculative claims harvesting, where scammers fish for any potential claim they can exploit. Don't engage with these callers or provide any personal details. Simply hang up and consider blocking the number to avoid repeat calls.
