A black or dark coloured 4 wheel drive travelling north failed to give way to her red car travelling west. It side swiped into her car as she tried to avoid it causing a lot of damage to the left front and rear. The driver of the 4 wheel drive did not attempt to stop or come back to assess damage or if anybody was hurt. Luckily there are cameras there and hopefully the Police will find out who they are. If anybody saw the crash and could help identifying the other vehicle could they please contact me. Thank you.

I had a call this morning, a recorded voice saying my spark internet will be disconnected. It then said to push 1,2 or more for further information. As i am not with spark I hung up.
What I would suggest is that if you get a call like this HANG UP.
If spark is your provider call them and ask them if this is correct.
If it isn't then report the call with as much detail as you can remember.
Hopefully this post may stop someone getting scammed.
