    I'm getting more and more of these cold calls. I think for the next one I'll say: "That's funny, because I heard you've been involved in a car accident which wasn't your fault."

    not having a car, nor having had one since the mid 90s, well not having a phone either,
    what the hell were they selling? car insurance, health insurance, traffic court lawyers, bibles?

    last time i was in a fender bender was some time back in the 70s, as a passenger,
    no other car involved, the driver just backed into a telephone pole that was in his blind spot.

    so much lol, the crap people assume, especially if they're trying to sell you something.

    Seconded. Sounds like fun

    But with a cold case call from a company you have no connection with or interest in you can just hang up without saying anything. Sends a clear enough message

  6. My stock phrase is - which company are you calling from, how do you know that I have been involved in an acident and how is it posible since I don`t own a vehicle. thank you for calling, goodbye. I used to be quite rude but thought better of it and now give the above with no pauses and no chance for them to speak.

  8. Often enough for it to be more than a slight inconvenience

    They supposedly try to get money from the perpetrator's insurance company for you, and take a cut out of it for themselves. I think you have to have suffered personal injury / loss of earnings etc. for them to get a claim going.

    I could tell them that the cat sleeps on the roof of our car and has scratched the paintwork.
