Strange cold call
From an African accented voice
Caller: Hello, we have information that someone on this number has recently been involved in an accident
Me: Do you think I'm ****ing stupid or something?
Caller: Nervous laugh
Me: (After pause) Well ........ piss off then!
Caller: Oh, OK ... nervous laugh
I suggest you just put the phone down if you get any of these recent scams

I called them back and after a long spiel the message said they were based in South Africa.

Re: Strange cold call
I'm always wary when I get a caller from a Madrid number, but have to answer it in case it's the King. If it's not him, I put the phone down because it will be some sort of scam.
