I put an ad up on Gumtree and then got a call just like some scam ones I've had before. They started asking if I’d ever been in any accidents. I replied with “Which one?” and then told them I've had 25 this year alone. That definitely threw them off. Worth a try if you get one of those calls!

Has anyone actually reached out to Gumtree about this? Is this even allowed?

Just like that, within half a minute of putting it up on Gumtree.

Got a call from Smile Insurance Services. They were asking about an accident that never happened and said it wasn’t my fault, which really confused me.

Just after I put my ad up on Gumtree, my phone rang from a Manchester number. The line was terrible, I couldn't catch a single word, so I ended the call. Then I checked the number here and found loads of similar reports, so I went ahead and blocked it immediately.

Like loads of others have said, I got a call just a couple of mins after I put my ad up on Gumtree. I looked it up here first so I decided not to pick up and just blocked the number straight away.

Right after I posted a listing on gumtree I got a call from this number claiming to be from the Motor insurance bureau. I asked for their official company number and they just told me to check the caller ID. Then when I asked for the caller’s name, they just gave me my own name! I put them on hold and waited till they eventually hung up. Not long after, they called again but from another number. I put them on hold again and then blocked them.

I listed my old motor on Gumtree and, no surprise, got a call from those annoying lot just two days later! Needless to say, I told them to jog on!

I got a call about thirty minutes after placing a car advert on Gumtree. The bloke claimed he was from "UK Accident Management Ltd." I checked Companies House and found that this company was actually struck off back in April 2015, so either he made the name up or is using a defunct company's name. Either way, not trustworthy. When I mentioned I was on the TPS and asked for more info, he just ended the call abruptly.

Like a few others here, I received a phone call just moments after putting up an ad on Gumtree. It seems like they keep an eye on the listings and ring straight away if your number is visible. Honestly, it’s probably wiser to avoid putting your real phone number on any online posts.

I put up a Gumtree listing and got a call from some idiot claiming I'd been in a deadly crash. They even called me twice in just 10 minutes! I guess if I was dead, Gumtree could just send my cash straight to the afterlife. Anyway, I told them off in no uncertain terms - wasn’t a nice chat. Ended up just hanging up on them. The number they called from was 0161 8188903, and when I tried calling back, no answer. The only way to deal with them seems to be shouting right down the phone, straight at their ear.

I got a call from a company claiming to do road traffic accident management and said they were based here in the UK. But when I tried looking them up, there was no record of them anywhere. Then when I started asking stuff, the woman on the phone acted like she couldn't hear me at all. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

After putting up an ad on Gumtree, I got a call from a foreign bloke. He said he was with a car insurance firm and wanted to talk about a minor crash I supposedly had a few years back. Thing is, I’ve had no accidents in ages, and that number is brand new! Weird call, if you ask me.
