I too was involved in what I believe to be this scam earlier this week at the mini roundabout between Magdalene and Lyford road.
The rider sped up then went very slowly into the side of my car as I was midway across the roundabout.
He then started filming me on his phone. He had insurance documents to hand and wanted my details.
I then also had a call within 24 hours from the private company MCAMS wanting my details. Please remember that you do not need to give anyone your details, licence plate is enough for insurance.

This has just happened to me today . Turning right out of a side road on Balham High Road. A moped driver (name definitely sounded Brazilian) and he was extremely organised with insurance docs etc ready. There was no damage to either his bike or my car and he just crashed into the front tyre. Luckily a lady witnessed the entire thing and is willing to give a statement. He was stopped and as soon as I edged forward a degree, he took his chance and rammed into my tyre. I have his name? I wonder if others have the same name?

I would check next door for video footage and reports the same man and his accomplice are circuiting the area
A lot of victims stating it’s the same man bike etc

There’s a piece on the letters page of today’s Financial Times about this - may be worth contacting their journalists.

The rider had plenty of time to stop but still proceeded to make contact and after like 3 seconds upright decided to drop the moped sideways on my car. Luckily I had an eyewitness which saw everything and even told me this is a reoccurring thing in the area and that it was a scam hence why I found this thread. The rider was also Brazilian as well as the caller from the private company MCAMS (even sounds like scams). Do not give them any information and please stay safe!

Can you pm me Yr number and name and I'll add you
