5 yearsA man called me up saying he was tracking down some ladies who did motorbike racing back in '67. He asked if I was connected to a Ms Jones. I told him no, my surname wasn’t Jones at all in those days. He just said thanks and hung up. It felt a bit strange, so I decided to do a quick search online.Jones5 yearsOn the 11th of September, 2021, I received a call from a chap named Peter White, hailing from Reading. He initially inquired whether I was Mrs -, to which I replied in the affirmative. He then proceeded to ask if I had any ties to a D -, indicating he was looking for someone associated with a bike scrambler sharing my surname. I clarified that I wasn’t the person he sought. After that, he expressed his gratitude and abruptly ended the call. Quite the peculiar conversation, I must say!Peter WhiteReading5 yearsI received a call on the 11th of September, 2021, from a chap named Peter White, hailing from Reading. He inquired if I was Mrs - and I confirmed that I was. It seems he was trying to reach out regarding someone connected to a D - my surname, no less! He mentioned a bike scream or something along those lines, but I had to let him know I couldn’t assist. He seemed quite cordial and thanked me before ending the call. Quite the curious exchange!Peter WhiteReading5 yearsI got a call from a person asking if I knew anyone with a particular last name in my neighbourhood. They weren’t fishing for anything personal, just wanted to check if the name matched anyone I knew. After I told them no one in my family had that surname, they said sorry and ended the call. They sounded quite friendly and sincere to me. I’m surprised some folks here thought it was weird or creepy.5 yearsGot a call from some geezer named Peter White.Peter White5 yearsSounds like it might have been some older bloke who was a bit mixed up. The details he mentioned to my relatives were strangely spot on - he talked about scrambing motorsports back in 1982, which is exactly when I was into it. What was odd was he kept telling whoever picked up, “I just want to chat with him.” The whole thing freaked me out a bit, mainly cause my family made it seem kinda creepy, but honestly, it wasn’t anything harmful in the end.5 yearsJust like loads of others, this guy Peter White called, asking about someone who raced cars back in the 80s. He kept using our family name and the person he wanted to find. We’re not listed in any directory and have sky call blocking on, but somehow he still managed to get through. Proper odd and a bit creepy, so I've blocked the number now!Peter WhiteSky5 yearsI dropped a message inquiring whether I happened to know anyone who was into motorcycle scrambling back in the 1970s. They never got back to me, though.6 yearsJust like some others have mentioned, I got a call from a bloke with an English accent asking if I was related to someone with the same last name nearby. Seemed a bit sketchy to me!England6 yearsI got a message from an older bloke with a British accent the other day. He said he was trying to track someone down, but weirdly, the surname he mentioned was mine, though the DOB and place didn’t match up at all with anyone I know. Pretty strange if you ask me. Definitely no chance I’m ringing that number again.6 yearsI received a call from a chap named Peter White who wanted to know whether I had a family member by the name of P T Taylor, apparently someone who was keen on scrambling. I informed him that I didn't know anyone by that name. He expressed his gratitude before hanging up.Peter WhiteP T Taylor6 yearsGot a call from a Pete White, I think, who was asking if we had any connections to a chap involved in motorcycle scrambling back in the 60s. Not sure if he was being legit or if it was a load of rubbish.Pete White6 yearsGot a call on my landline 0118 975 6549 from a guy who didn’t tell me his name. He was asking if there was anyone around here with my name who might be into scrambling. I told him there’s actually another person nearby with the same name. He just said thanks and hung up. This happened on 22 March 2020.6 yearsReceived a call inquiring whether I had any ties to a certain A. Hill from Shrewsbury back in 1966. Quite the puzzling conversation!A. HillShrewsbury7 yearsI got a call from someone who was really polite, asking if we knew a person with our surname and my husband's first initial, who was apparently a scrambler around here back in 1963. I told them no, didn’t have a clue.7 yearsThis number rang my son's place in Wincanton. Someone called Pete White, asking about a 'T Light' who apparently was his dad but died like 8 years ago. My son thankfully didn’t pick up, but the voicemail left really upset him. He struggles with learning difficulties so it was quite distressing. What’s worse, my son’s phone is set up with Sky Guard for safety, but this bloke still managed to get through. Seriously, watch out for this guy, he’s a right pain.Pete WhiteWincantonSky Guard7 yearsI’ve had a call from an older gentleman who said his name was Peter White, looking for someone with my last name who apparently was part of a biking club locally ages ago. Thing is, there’s never been any biking club like that round where I live. Feels like a pretty smart scam to me, especially after reading similar stories here and hearing that this bloke’s been ringing heaps of others with the same story. Definitely dodgy if you ask me.Peter White7 yearsI had a chap ring me up, introducing himself as Peter White. He seemed quite curious, asking if I had any acquaintance with a Sean Taylor, who apparently has a penchant for dirt biking or motocross.Peter WhiteSean Taylor7 yearsA gentleman rang me up, inquiring whether I had any acquaintance with a chap named Sean Taylor who’s keen on dirt biking or motocross. Quite the curious call!Sean Taylor7 yearsLast evening my nan got a call asking for a Paul Brown who apparently had a bike crash in Basildon.Paul BrownBasildon8 yearsI got a call from someone asking if anyone in our family had the same last name but with a different first initial. They mentioned something about a motorcycle club from back in 1968. The person was really polite and said thanks after we told them we didn’t know anyone like that.8 yearsI gave them a bell to inquire if they knew of a relative who might be into off-road biking.8 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, sounded like an old gentleman asking if I knew a David R who used to do bike scrambling back in 1968 or thereabouts. Bit strange, not really sure what that was about.David R8 yearsJust had a look at another comment about the Basingstoke Motorcycle Club, and honestly, the other guy wasn't wrong. I searched for their website myself and saw a contact section that caught my eye. It made me wonder why the person didn’t mention their location or the purpose of their enquiry. At first, I thought it might be a scam, but now it seems legit. The place on their site says: Get in touch with Pete White at 0118 975 6549.Basingstoke Motorcycle ClubPete White8 yearsI got a call from this number on 28th Dec 2018 around 8:15 in the evening. The bloke on the line had an English accent and wanted to know if I was connected to someone he was trying to find. He mentioned he was rounding up old pals from 1978. I told him I have no connection to the person he named. After that, he said thanks and goodbye. Could be a legit call? Interestingly, the number is also linked to the Basingstoke MCC site.Basingstoke Motorcycle Club8 yearsIt’s really odd how they’re using my surname just like that, totally strange!8 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Mr White, asking if I knew some old scrambling club people or summat - felt a bit weird.

Gardiner happened to be a connection of mine.B. Gardiner8 yearsThis call was definitely a scam, trying to find a person who isn’t even real. Really can’t trust these kinds of calls at all.8 yearsA grown-up sounding person called, didn’t say their name though. They said they were trying to track down someone who’d been messing around nearby back in 1968.8 yearsInquiring about specifics concerning my relatives.8 yearsI got a call from an elderly gentleman, Mr White, who was trying to find the last person who had this number a few years back. Seems like he’s working from some outdated phone book or something.White8 yearsGot a call from some elderly gentleman, Mr White, wanting to speak to whoever owned this number years back.
