I thought about this, but it goes through to a voicemail for a woman. If they gave someone else's number, you'd think that person would reply and defend themselves and say they have no idea what I am talking about??

Defend themselves?! From what? Whom? They'll just ignore. I get collection calls from two different numbers for two different people all the time. Have been getting them for at least 2 years now. I did answer once to both calls and told them not to bother me since they have the wrong number. Both cases, the callers apologized but the calls continue anyways.. I just ignore. I only answer calls from numbers I recognize and delete voicemails if they are not meant for me.

Have you tried texting the number? You may get a better response.

Simplest thing to do would be to call your insurance company. They are raising rates anyways across the board, so get your money's worth from them.

It’s a fake number.

Or rather, it’s a number that person who hit your car made up on the spot and belongs to a random person.

Personally, if I got a random text about an accident and insurance, I would ignore and block. This sounds like the fishing scams notifying you of a large automated charge with a phone number to call if you didn’t intend to make the purchase.

Not necessarily. I got calls about someone else’s prescription and just ignored. Not my problem to fix. Blocked.

+1
I was getting regular text messages from someone asking about work hours and overtime pay. I blocked after the third message. It's not on me to correct the errant sender.

^^^ This. I did this exact thing. But only because the suv I backed into was literally festooned with RWNJ stickers and I didn’t want them knowing who I was because I feared they would stalk me because of my politics. But people were watching and I had to make a show of it like I was leaving my information. I even googled the NRA headquarters local number in Virginia so they’d be extra confused when they dialed it, lolz.

I felt I owed it to them.

Wow, you sound like a real peach
