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.

Has anyone had any of these? If so, what did you do about it?
I've had 2 . The first I told she must be mistaken. But the second was 2 evenings ago when I knew husband and daughter were driving on the M25 in this heat, and I was worried about them.
She said something that made me think they'd had an accident and I screamed "our car is in an accident?". At which the call stopped.
TG husband rang soon after to say they were ok.
But really, someone could have a heart attack on hearing that.
