Screen incoming calls from unknown numbers to dodge these nuisances. Reports indicate persistent scam attempts involving fake car accident claims, often with no one speaking on answer or aggressive pitches. These originate from the Glasgow region but target wider areas like Dumfries. Block the number immediately and report to your provider or Action Fraud to curb further harassment. Never share personal details or confirm your info—scammers use silence or urgency to trip you up. If it's a genuine call, they'd leave a voicemail. Stay vigilant; such tactics are common for identity theft or phishing setups.
