If it's a third party it's already sounding quite dodgy. What was the compay name?

Cold caller who just happens to have hit on someone who has had a claim recently. Because of this the party thinks its true and the call is connected to their claim, it isn't.

The fact is the company will have called dozens of other people who haven't had an accident.

Only last week I had a call which went "according to our records, you had an accident 3 years ago and may be entitled to some money" .

No I didn't, I pressed the button on my call blocking gadget so their number won't get through again.
