01618187836 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618187836 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from calls tied to car sales adverts on Gumtree. Callers, often with strong Indian accents, falsely claim involvement in recent car accidents and push for personal details or financial arrangements, frequently resorting to aggressive or abusive language when challenged. These unsolicited calls disregard the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and are experienced as harassment by many who have advertised vehicles. Victims are advised not to engage, to block the number immediately, and to remain vigilant about personal data. The issue reflects a broader problem with scam calls targeting online sellers, highlighting a need for platforms like Gumtree to implement better protective measures for their users.

Just minutes after I put my car up for sale on Gumtree, I got a call from someone saying they were from an accident claims team, talking about a 'recent accident' I supposedly had. I told them I haven't had any accidents and that they were actually cold calling, which is illegal, but she just hung up on me. Proper classy move!

+441618187836 / 01618187836 The bloke spoke with a really thick accent, putting loads of stress on every 'R' sound, made it hard to catch a single word. I caught bits about some National Car insurance and an accident though. Tried asking him to say it again but he didn’t get what I was saying. Told him to take my number off their list, heard him chatting to someone in the back, then he just ended the call on me.

This number just rang me. Gumtree is definitely struggling with scam callers lately. This is the second time I’ve had calls like this after listing something for sale. They really need to sort this out. Best to just ignore if you see this number pop up.

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent saying he was from some traffic company, after I put my car up on Gumtree. Hard to follow what he was saying, but he soon started asking me to visit him for some money thing, like £3-4K. Didn't hang about and blocked the number right away. Seems like Gumtree's got this sort of hassle quite often.

Got a call from this number asking if I’d been in an accident, I said no and then he tried to bribe me with £4000 for some weird offer. Told him I’m no hooker and ended the call. He rang back straight away, and when I picked up he started threatening me and my family. What a total creep, absolute disgrace. Wish I could sort him out properly but he’s in India or somewhere so no chance. Proper nasty bloke.

Is there any way to find an address for these idiots? A little visit could be quite entertaining! Honestly, I reckon it's BT's fault for handing out those numbers (and all the slight variations). They ought to be forced to shut them down (and while we're at it, maybe get rid of the scammers as well!!)

Got a call from some bloke claiming he had £4000 for me from an accident I never even had. Told him straight up I’ve never been in a crash and hung up. He kept ringing back, the third time I picked up and he starts going on about meeting up regarding this £4000!!!

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent, asking if I'd had any accidents in the past couple of years. Told him no, and then he weirdly said he wanted to have ### with me and pay me for it. Hung up straight away, but he called back about 5 more times. I'm selling my car on Gumtree, so I reckon that's where he got my info from.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from traffic control, saying I'd been in an accident. I told him I never had a crash and then he just hung up. Then he called again, trying to offer me £4000 for some rubbish, so I ended the call. But he kept ringing non-stop, proper irritating. In the end, I had my mate ring him and tell him to piss off. This all happened just after I'd listed my car on Gumtree.

I got a call about my dad's car crash. They claimed to be from Accident Claims Expert, sounded like they were from India. The number they called from was 07459072588. I ended up telling them my dad’s full name and birth date. Now I’m worried it might be a scam since the call kept dropping. Really hoping they can’t use that info to do anything dodgy. I also got the call after I put up an advert on Gumtree.
