Possible scam phonecall?

I had a missed phonecall on my mobile from an unknown number, I thought 'Oh no! What if I've missed a prize?' but they phoned back a few minutes later. It wasn't a win unfortunately but someone saying they were from a solicitors firm (I didn't quite catch the name of the firm but it was C something..solicitors). They spoke to me by name and said they wanted to talk to me about a road traffic collision I was involved with and that it happened quite some time back. When I said that I haven't been involved in such an incident (I don't even drive!) they promptly hung up.
I just wanted to alert others. I'm not sure if they got my details from comping or not but just incase I thought I'd post it on here.

I have had a few of these recently. I presumed it was from somewhere I did or didnt tick and put it down to a consequence of comping. (Sorry I know the spelling isnt right)
I think it the new year and they are all trying it on. I have had 3 sky people (ha ha) telling me that my warranty has ended. I got a new box last week.0 -
I also keep getting calls from Vodaphone (I'm not with Vodaphone!) wanting to let me know if there are any deals I might be interested in. They also ask for me by name so I do have a feeling that a competition that have passed my details on.
Although, Vodaphone seemed to have stopped calling (so far!) after I told them I don't want them to phone me anymore.
