Telemarketing calls

My wife received a telemarketing call today on her mobile.
I'd like to make a complaint about the manner of the call but don't know what approach to take.
The call went along the lines of..
"Hello is that Jane?"
"Who is calling"
"Am I speaking to Jane?"
"Please can you tell me what its about?"
"Its about an accident..."
"What accident!!!!!!!" <starts panicking, mind racing, are the kids ok, one is away on a school trip!!>
"Have you had an accident in the last 3 years???"
"What?, don't ever call me again!!"
I have the number that was on the display but wonder who would be interested.
There is a web site that looks like its a cover for a telemarketing company. I can post the phone number and web site if its permitted here.
The Ofcom website suggests a complaint if persistent or threatening and this isolated call is neither.
Any ideas or links would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, we move threads if we think they’ll get more help elsewhere (please read the forum rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
I’ve moved your thread from the ‘In my home’ board to the ‘Praise, Vent & Warnings’ board, where it is better suited.
