01158880976 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01158880976 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting individuals who recently post adverts on Gumtree. Callers, often with heavy foreign accents, falsely claim to represent a national road safety or traffic authority and accuse recipients of involvement in non-existent car accidents. They aggressively seek personal details, responding with hostility or abuse when challenged. Several victims have wasted the scammers’ time to prevent harm to others. Gumtree users are advised to ignore these calls and refrain from sharing any information, as legitimate organisations would not operate in this manner or request such details by phone. This appears to be a coercive ploy to extract sensitive data and should be treated with caution.

I put up an ad on Gumtree and then got a call from this bloke, I think he said he was from Africa or somewhere like that. He was all over the place, barely made any sense. Kept repeating "hello...hello... are you alright, sir?" Honestly, what I wanted to tell him would be too rude to post here! Definitely scammers trying their luck. Just wanted to tell him off proper and ended up hanging up.

Had this happen just after I put up an ad on Gumtree!! Felt a bit dodgy to say the least.

Got a call from some UK number asking if I'd been in an accident recently, which I definitely haven't. Bit weird since I’d only just posted a car ad on Gumtree. Could be a total coincidence or maybe something fishy going on.

Right after I put my ad up on Gumtree, I got a call from someone with a strong African accent. They started rambling about some accident I supposedly had recently - totally caught me off guard, never even happened as far as I know.

Right after I put my ad up on Gumtree, this number calls me straight away, total scam, unbelievable!

Was in the middle of a shower when my phone rang, so didn’t pick up. After seeing this, I’m really relieved I didn’t! Seems like Gumtree should really step in - it looks like people are using their platform to gather phone numbers somehow!

I put something up for sale on Gumtree and almost straight away this number rang me. Seriously, don't pick up if you see it pop up. If you do happen to answer, be careful and don’t share any personal info - it’s definitely a con.

After I put up an advert on Gumtree, they rang me not long after. Seems like quite a few people have had the same thing happen. I told the guy there was no car crash on my end, then he guessed maybe it was someone in my family. I said no, nobody’s had any accident, and then he just said thanks and ended the call.

Just got another dodgy call from some scammer. Absolute rubbish.

Just like others have noted, I received a call regarding a supposed accident that never happened. I put the call on speaker while multitasking, and asked the caller to repeat himself over and over again-he must have said the same thing a dozen times! Eventually, he handed me off to his “supervisor,” which allowed me to waste even more of their time. If I can waste their time, at least it means they can't target vulnerable folks who might actually fall for their dodgy scheme!

Just like loads of others have said, got a call about some accident that never happened. I switched it to speaker and carried on with what I was doing, making him keep saying the same thing over and over again. Eventually, he got his "manager" involved, so I ended up messing about with him too. If I take the time to do this, it means they can't annoy unsuspecting older folks who might actually believe their nonsense.

I got a call from some bloke claiming to be from the National Road Safety Office or something like that. He was all pushy, trying to get info about an accident I supposedly had in the last few years. If he really knew about it, he’d have the full details, right? So I asked him where he even got my number from. He got really aggressive and started shouting, so I hung up on him. Then he rang back straight away and began swearing at me, calling me names like “motherf***er” and something about being Pakistani. That was enough for me to end the call again. Proper rude chap. Gotta say, I wouldn’t mind seeing him face to face to sort things out.

So this lot said they were from some 'national car accident department' - which as far as I can tell, isn’t even a real thing. They started asking me all sorts of questions about car accidents, totally bizarre! Felt like a cheeky way to scam info off me. When I asked for their website, they came out with some rubbish about not being able to share it due to 'data protection laws.' Proper laugh, if you ask me!

I received a rather unsettling call earlier regarding a supposed car accident that never happened. When I pressed them for more details, their tone turned shockingly aggressive.

Received a call claiming to be from National Traffic Control regarding a collision. Definitely a scam! I hung up straight away.
