I received a call from this number, claiming they had a prospective buyer for our vehicle. They mentioned that for a fee of £69.99, they would share our details with the interested party. However, I noticed something strange: every time they rang, another number, 02476238219, kept popping up on our screen during the call. When we tried to switch over to that other line, it was unsuccessful. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation with this number?

Ever since I put up an ad on Autotrader, this number has been ringing me non-stop. I've chosen to ignore the calls after checking the feedback on this site. Funny enough, not once has the caller bothered to leave a voicemail.

We received a call from this number, claiming they had found a buyer for our car, but insisted we fork out £69.99 first. It seems they're just passing us along to potential buyers. Interestingly, we've noticed that whenever we engage with them, another number, 02476238219, appears repeatedly on our caller ID. Every time we've tried to switch the name on the listing, it doesn't seem to go through. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this number?

I received a call from this number, and the individuals at the other end claimed they could confirm details about a vehicle. They asked us for a payment of £75, which instantly raised red flags. Thankfully, I sought advice from a mate who works in a vehicle-related company, and he warned me that it sounded like a scam. Luckily, we didn't hand over any cash or share any personal information. I feel it's vital to report this number so that the authorities can investigate further!

I've had a rather dodgy experience with this number. They called, claiming to have potential buyers for my car that I'd listed on Autotrader. It reminds me of that CarData scam - a complete ruse! These folks are just after your cash, and once you've handed it over, good luck getting any response from them. Seriously, don't fall for it! When you’re sorting out finance for a vehicle, isn’t it obvious that you’d just source the car yourself? Why on earth would you rely on some random firm to do it for you?

We placed an advertisement for our motorcycle in a community paper. Shortly after, we received a call from someone claiming they had a prospective buyer interested. They mentioned we’d need to cough up £70 for the buyers to come and have a look at the bike and that this amount would be refunded once the transaction was completed. Quite the deal, isn’t it?

I received a call from this number asking about the vehicle we listed in our local classifieds. Shortly after we confirmed our details, the caller abruptly ended the call! Quite peculiar, to say the least.
