just received a call from "Accident Investigation Department" (tel: 02032894455) about a traffic accident in the last 3 years. I'm also on the Telephone Preference Service list so one of my first questions was 'Where did you get my number?'
Can't remember what the reply was but I told her she better go back to them and check their info as we've not had a traffic accident!
Must admit one of my concerns of being 'rude' to these type of firms is that they'll pass on my number to even more scammers.
