Receiving phone calls about an accident I never had

I had 3 phone calls from a company called UK Claims around 8pm on 12th Dec 2011, which were quite intimidating to a pensioner, insisting that I had had an accident and made a claim for compensation, which I had not and did not.

What should I do about this? They refused to give their phone number and rang me again and again even when I said I did not know what they were talking about.

If these calls are coming from overseas there is nothing you can do. If from the UK, report them to the police for attempted criminal fraud.
