phone calls about accidents.

I tell them that they should be ashamed of themselves and to look for a better job! ??

I put the phone down too. Sometimes they are a recorded message with pauses for your reply.

I put the phone down without speaking anyone ringing about a genuine accident would identify themselves first.

They do this all the time. Even my son who doesn't drive gets them. Once when he told them he didn't have a car, the woman asked, 'Any slips trips or falls?'
Just another desperate sales pitch. Ignore them.
