Think This Is A Scam?

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

Had a call from a local Sheffield number, but it seemed a bit dodgy, talking about car accident claims and they said the company name was Lunar. Ive never heard of them? I found this online  comment of someone saying they thin its a scam. But i was recently in a car accident and my insurance said they'd call me back, and they haven't so maybe this is genuine? Can anyone advise please? 

 

Thanks!

Do you have the alleged number that called you?

 

You could try ringing it back (withholding your number of course) and see if it connected, but I suspect it is a scam robo-call and the response you will get is the standard BT 'the number you have dialled has not been recognised, please check and try again' response.

What about ringing your insurance company up and asking them if they have passed your details on to the company that contacted you ?

Good point but they shouldn't without your express consent (GDPR), and I'm still betting on a scam call.

It is now possible to mimic numbers, so they may appear as local numbers, or even your bank.  So be very careful of trusting displays and 1471, etc.
