Phone call from "Victim Support"

I have received 2 calls from "Victims Support" asking if I have been in an accident . Upon learning that I had been in an accident I was asked if I had been hurt when I replied No I was asked " are you sure, Not even a neck injury ?".
I told them to go away.
I have heard someone at work got one of these calls also.
So WATCH OUT there is an AMBULANCE CHASER ABOUT.

    If you aren't registered with the TPS do it now. If you are already registered then those ambulance chasers are breaking the law and need to be reported.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
