Mr Crusty
An old fart in England. I try to answer serious question seriously...but stupid or wind-up questions will probably get the reply they deserve.

13 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoSpam/Scam Calls from "UK Claim Services": Has anyone had a call offering to get you compensation?
I haven't had an accident of course & I'm signed up to TPS (Telephone Preference Service) but the caller uses an anonymous number, so it doesn't stop calls getting through. It's not the first time I've had this type of phone 'spam' but next time they call I'm going to wind them up with a ridiculous 'accident' story to waste their time!
