01316182133 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01316182133 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting Freecycle users across the UK, involving fake sellers claiming to have relocated and offering items like kitchen appliances, laptops, and bikes. Scammers request payment via UKASH or Paysafe vouchers for supposed delivery fees and refundable insurance, but no goods are ever received. Multiple aliases and emails are used, with poor English and similar scripted messages. Victims commonly pay an initial sum before being asked for further payments, after which contact ceases. Police and fraud teams have been notified, but recovery is unlikely. Users are urged to beware of too-good-to-be-true offers, never send voucher photos, and report suspicious Freecycle listings promptly. This scam demonstrates sophisticated coordination and preys on goodwill and trust.

So I got a call from this woman, Eve Kubadya, who was trying to sell a KitchenAid, said she'd moved to Edinburgh or something. Typical sketchy tale. Her email was [email protected]. Thankfully, I stumbled on all these warnings before handing over any money. Watch out for this one!

Count me in on this! It’s downright shameless, isn’t it?

I've gone ahead and notified the authorities. They ought to be able to trace the payment made through the Paysafe card and follow the trail backwards, but who knows if they’ll actually take any action. Time will tell, I suppose.

I've just fallen for this one. Someone pretending to be Jane Whittaker claimed she'd moved to Edinburgh and was giving away a pricey Kitchen Aid mixer on freecycle. I sent £30 in paysafe vouchers, then got a bit suspicious when they asked for an extra £50 “insurance” fee. I should have known better - if it sounds like a bargain, it usually ain't! The emails I got were mostly in caps and had really bad English, just like other people have described here. It’s all so obvious now, but I’ve had good luck with freecycle before, so I didn’t expect it. Feeling pretty daft about the whole thing :-(

Beware of a Freecycle scam going around. I replied to a listing on Freecycle, and just like others have said, they claimed to have moved away but offered to send the item if I paid £30 for delivery. Obviously, it's a scam. I've reported it to Freecycle already. They emailed me saying they were at the courier sorting things out, and that I’d need to buy a PAYSAFE voucher worth £30 from any shop, petrol station, or newsagent nearby. Then, I was told to snap a photo of the voucher and email it to them along with my full name and address. They said they’d verify the voucher, confirm by email, and then send tracking info once it’s all clear. The email came from [email protected] and the site btslogisticsltd9.webnode.com, with phone numbers 0131 618 6038/2133. Don’t fall for it!

We ended up losing £30, never thought we’d get scammed like that, really caught us off guard.

I just got tricked by this rondokerry, and it was meant to be a gift for my daughter. Honestly, I’m so disappointed.

I got caught out by the same email, [email protected]. They first asked me for a delivery charge and then wanted £75 for insurance, which made me see it was dodgy. I’ve reported it to Freecycle now!

Was looking at a freecycle listing for a laptop under the name "Lee Evans," supposedly from the Falkirk area. Turns out, they claimed they’d moved away. I paid £35 upfront but then they started asking for another £75. I refurbish laptops to raise money for charity, so this has just knocked £35 off my Maggies Centre donations. Proper annoyed.

Just had a call from the same dodgy person but now the number's switched to 01316186763. The name they gave this time was Beatrix Comte. What a nasty piece of work! This was on 27/08/15, beware folks.

So this lady called, name was Suzie, and she was trying to scam me just like loads of others have said. She used the exact same spiel as the others. I actually found her IP and passed everything along to the police. Hope you all stay safe out there!

I got a call from a different number, 01316186763, but it was the same scam again. I decided to contact webnode.com, the company they used to create the site, to let them know what’s really going on. Fingers crossed they take the site down. You know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is :(

If only I had come across this before I got duped. I just parted with £32 for delivery and another £75 for insurance. It was the same email from Petruta Packman again, all orchestrated through Freecycle. A tough lesson to swallow, to say the least.

If only I'd seen this earlier, I wouldn't have gotten caught out. Paid £32 for delivery and then another £75 for insurance, all from someone called Theresa Packman through Freecycle. Definitely a tough lesson to swallow.

Just like many others here, this muppet actually expects me to pay £25 for a courier service moving from Edinburgh down to London! It's good there's websites like this so folks can check numbers before falling for stuff like this. We can only really flag these freecycle listings (that same hybrid bike is still up for grabs by the looks of it!)

I fell for the same scam, paid the £30 at first but then they wanted another £75 and that’s when I realised something was off. We reported it to Ukash who then sent us over to their fraud department. If anyone else gets any info about the address they give, please tell me so I can share it with the fraud team.

Someone was giving away a Windows 8 laptop on Freecycle and I got an email from a Rita Smith asking me to pay via Ukash. It felt a bit dodgy so I rang the number she gave me. A bloke with a foreign accent answered and said the same thing. It just sounded too good to be true, so I googled the number and found these posts warning about a scam. Really hope these scammers get pinched. If anyone wants to hear more about what happened to me, just reply here.

I'm dealing with something pretty similar. Some bloke called Mathew Falwell claimed he wanted to gift me a carbon bike, but he’s just moved to Aberdeen. He said he’d send it via btslogistics, which turns out to be a bogus company. Then he emailed me asking for £30 through ukash plus a scan of the voucher so he could cash it in. No bike ever showed up, it’s definitely a con. Please don’t fall for this and don’t send any cash to these scammers from Africa.

I ended up sending a £30 voucher to a guy called "Anthony Dent," though it was a different one, for a MacBook. I even paid a courier to pick it up from his place in Edinburgh. When the courier turned up, no one was there, so I emailed him again, and he said he was out of town that day. Since then, nothing from their side, especially after I refused to cough up £75 for insurance. I don’t hold out much hope that these con artists will be held accountable. If anyone’s got any tips on dealing with this, I’d be really grateful. Cheers, Malcolm Dickson Plymouth, UK

Got a call from a bloke saying his name was Vince. I ended up sending him a £30 ukash voucher, but then he came back asking for another £75. I didn’t give him that extra cash though.

Somebody tricked me into sending a £30 Ukash voucher, then later demanded an extra £75. When I called the number back, the person on the line sounded like they might be African, maybe Nigerian. I’m seriously thinking of reporting this to HMRC. I tried going to the police, but they told me it’s a civil issue, so they can’t help. This all happened last night. After I’d handed over the £30 voucher, I then tried contacting Ukash myself, but it turns out it’s an overseas business.

I got a message from some bloke calling himself Vince Shepherd ([email protected]) on freecycle.org, saying he’d send me stuff if I forwarded him money via UKASH. He asked for a photo of the UKASH voucher so he could cover the postage. Strange thing is, he wants the cash sent to btslogistics7.webnode.com ([email protected]), but that website was only set up a day before I got his email. Felt dodgy to me.

I got a call from that number claiming they're from "BTS Courier" and said it's their company contact. Is this a scam or is the company legit? They mentioned a fee of £105 for delivery plus insurance, but I haven't had any calls or received any package yet - nothing at all! Thinking about reporting this to the police and HMRC soon. Thanks, Vince 07842126659
