I wasn't familiar with the number, so I assumed it was a scam call.

What a load of rubbish about that road accident! I put my number on Gumtree once and since then, I've been getting nonstop scam calls - absolute nightmare. Now, it seems like someone has even gone and cut the phone lines because it doesn’t work at all anymore. Avoid putting your number anywhere online, it’s just asking for trouble!

Had a curious call around one this afternoon, but it cut off before I got a chance to pick up.

I put up a Gumtree ad including my phone number and literally minutes later I get called saying my computer had some issue and he needed to access it remotely. Honestly, who falls for stuff like this? Reported the number straight away to Action Fraud.

An unscrupulous individual contacted my elderly father using this number, claiming they could assist him with "repairing" his computer.

I couldn't track down any reviews or feedback about this number on other sites, so maybe that's a positive. Has anyone else dealt with it before? I tried entering the number in a few different ways but came up empty. Saw a few other numbers like it, differing just in the final three digits, so I reckon it might be a call centre with a block of assigned lines. Anyone know who’s operating this?

Didn’t pick up my phone when it rang. The caller i.d said there was a voicemail, but when i checked it was just quiet with some crackling noises. I tried calling them back a couple of times but no dial tone or sound on the other side. Very weird.

Got a call from some Asian bloke claiming he’d fix my computer. Told him straight up I wasn’t daft and knew it was a con, and he just went off on one, swearing like mad! Proper nasty and rude bloke, total slime.
