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 recently listed something on Gumtree, and out of the blue, a chap from Africa or thereabouts phoned me. To say he was hard to understand would be putting it mildly. He kept repeating "Hello... hello... are you alright, mate???" I can’t even begin to express my frustration with what I said back! Absolute scammers, if you ask me! Honestly feel like giving them a right telling off! In the end, I just hung up the call.

Funny thing, I received a call right after I posted an ad on Gumtree! What a coincidence!

Just received a rather suspicious call from a UK accident claims service inquiring about some incident I may or may not have had over the past three years. Quite odd, considering I had just listed my car on Gumtree. Perhaps it's purely coincidental, but it does make one wonder, doesn’t it?

Indeed, shortly after I listed something on Gumtree, I received a rather peculiar call. The caller, with a heavy African accent, went on and on about an accident I supposedly had. Quite baffling, really, as I hadn’t a clue what they were on about!

Barely moments after I listed my item on Gumtree, I received a dodgy call from this number. Can you believe it? It's ridiculous!

I just had a call come through while I was in the shower... thank goodness I didn’t leap out to pick it up after reading all of this! It's about time Gumtree took action, seeing as their platform is being exploited to gather phone numbers!

I posted something on Gumtree not long ago, and almost immediately, I received a call from this number.
I strongly recommend you avoid picking up! If you find yourself in a situation where you do answer, make sure to keep your details to yourself-it's nothing but a scam.

I received a rather peculiar call from this number not long after I had posted an ad on Gumtree. It appears I'm not the only one with this kind of experience. When I informed the caller that I hadn’t been in an accident, he suggested it might be a relative of mine. I clarified that none of my family had been involved in any incidents either. He seemed a bit miffed about it, thanked me, and then promptly ended the call. Quite strange, isn’t it?

Just another bunch of dodgy scammers, it seems.

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!

Echoing the sentiments of others, I received a call regarding a supposedly non-existent accident. I decided to put him on loudspeaker while I got on with my chores, dragging out the conversation to make him repeat himself ad nauseam. Eventually, he handed over to his "supervisor," allowing me to waste yet more of their time. I reckon if I can manage this, they won't be able to hassle unsuspecting elderly folks who might fall prey to such dodgy schemes.

I received a rather brazen call from a chap claiming to be from the National Road Safety Agency or some such nonsense. He was insistent on prying into details about an alleged accident I supposedly had in the past three years. If he truly was aware of any incident, one would think he'd be equipped with all the necessary information. I started to interrogate him about how he obtained my number, and he quickly escalated, getting rather loud and aggressive, which prompted me to hang up. Barely a moment later, the blighter rang me again, hurling obscenities my way. He called me a “motherf...ker” not just once, but twice. To top it off, he proclaimed, “I’m a P*ki, you motherfu...ker.” I promptly cut the line again. What a thoroughly disrespectful knucklehead! Honestly, I would have relished the chance to confront him in person.

I received a rather peculiar call from individuals purporting to represent some non-existent national car accident division. Quite absurd if you ask me! They were probing me with all sorts of enquiries regarding motor vehicle incidents. It has scam written all over it! When I pressed them for their official website, they couldn't provide it, claiming something about "the data protection act." It was laughable!

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.
