Phone number ☎️ 02079704991 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller often linked to suspicious or potentially fraudulent enquiries about vehicles, boats, insurance, and items for sale. Callers frequently request personal details or arrange visits but disappear when called back, with returning calls leading to dead lines. The number has been associated with spoofing tactics, recorded messages impersonating legitimate institutions like banks, and cold calls at unsociable hours.

It is advised to remain cautious, avoid sharing sensitive information, and consider reporting such calls to relevant authorities or the police if harassment persists.

I received a call from the number 0207 970 4991 regarding a vehicle they were trying to sell. They claimed they were looking to offload it for an astonishingly low price, supposedly for a mate in Dubai. The conversation felt a bit too good to be true; while they talked a good game, their intentions seemed dubious. Just a word of caution to others!

Has anyone found a way to stop these persistent calls? I've signed up with a service to try and block them, but it hasn’t made a difference at all. I'm at my wits' end! Any suggestions from the community would be appreciated.

I can't begin to express how spot-on this service is for anyone needing a bit of privacy! Our local classified ads publication employs these shadow numbers too. Once you post an ad, you're free to use this shadow number, which means you're spared from constant nuisance calls. Whenever someone reaches out, they only have access to the shadow number, keeping your real address safe from prying eyes. It’s just a clever way to maintain your anonymity while buying and selling items.

We’ve got a private number through YAC.com, and it’s configured to ring our mobile first. If we don’t answer, it then redirects the caller to our landline. The number that pops up on our Caller ID is 02079704991. I just gave it a whirl to see how it works!

Is there any way to stop these annoying calls from coming through? We've signed up with a firm to help us block them, but it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. Does anyone have any suggestions that might actually work?

Gave a ring regarding an advertisement for a room to rent, but it turns out they're not even in the vicinity yet. We're quite convinced this is some sort of scam aimed at getting hold of personal information.

Absolutely not. This number keeps ringing me relentlessly. I tried calling it back, but there's just silence on the other end.

Received a call from this number today, inquiring about our car which is still up for grabs. The caller claimed to be working in Hampshire and introduced themselves as Paula. They mentioned they'd chat with their partner later in the evening. I’m feeling a touch uneasy about the whole thing now. Might keep the police in the loop if they decide to ring back. Curiously, they’re not interested in any photos via email but are keen to come and have a gander at the vehicle in person. Very fishy indeed!

Gave us a bell at around quarter to two this morning and then again at eight o'clock. A month back, we were looking into Professional Indemnity Insurance with several firms.

I’ve put it in the free ads twice now. Just a quick note - if you’re interested in coming over to watch some telly, the doors will be open between seven and half past tonight or tomorrow. We’ve had a few missed chances, unfortunately. It seems these folks are trying to contact us again, probably regarding the other ad. Honestly, we hope this doesn't lead back to the Wild Geese. It’s a bit frustrating, to say the least!

I was meant to call about a car that was up for sale, but as soon as I tried to dial the number, it just went silent. No ringing whatsoever. Quite frustrating!

They rang me twice but didn’t bother to leave a message either time. Strangely, they didn’t try to call again, which makes me think if they can’t be bothered to leave a message, it’s probably not important at all.

I’ve just received a call inquiring about a buggy for sale, but I haven’t got one to sell. I managed to trace the number starting with 020 and discovered it’s from quite a distance away from us!

In addition to my earlier message... I've managed to track down the number 02079704991, which popped up right after my 0845 number was dialled. It appears the caller chose to block their number. This suggests that the number is likely part of a pool used by Telecoms World PLC for call forwarding purposes.

I called to inquire about a vehicle that was listed for sale, but the person I spoke to was rather dodgy, asking for our personal details. Just a heads-up, this individual seemed quite cunning and seemed a bit too skilled in the art of trickery. Stay vigilant!

Nope. They called us earlier today, trying to peddle some insurance.

This number keeps calling us, but the moment we pick up, it cuts off completely. We can't even return the call because it just won't connect. It’s quite strange!

This number called me bright and early at 8 o'clock and then promptly disconnected! I tried returning the call, but the line was completely silent.

This number has called me a handful of times, and each time it’s the same old spiel about being fortunate enough to win a prize. Honestly, we just hang up on them.

Greetings! We received a phone call from this number inquiring about a vehicle we're trying to sell. The individual rang us on two occasions, and on the second call, we decided to look into the number. The lady seemed genuinely keen on the vehicle and mentioned she’d like to come and have a proper look. We went ahead and shared our address and postcode with her, and she promised to call back at half two tomorrow. After pressing 1471, we realised it’s likely a scam, and I'm now quite worried about having divulged our details. I urge you all not to repeat our error. Take care!

Today, we received a call from the number 0207 970 4991 regarding some birds they had for sale. They mentioned they were based in Hertford and even gave us our door number and postcode. I tried returning the call, but the line seems to be disconnected. It's left me rather anxious, to be honest!

I really appreciate the existence of this handy website. I've just discovered that we had five missed calls from the number 002079704991. Four of them came in quick succession, and then another one came through around ten minutes later. Notably, our phone displays two zeros at the start, which sometimes happens when calls are redirected through our Vonage service to our mobile. We’re insured with Hiscox, so there's a possibility that these calls could be legitimate. However, given the warnings from others, we plan to get a contact number to reach them, and then we'll see if the details align!

Received a call from this number, claiming they were interested in purchasing our boat and various other enticing propositions! After perusing the information shared by others here, I'm feeling rather sceptical. Let's keep an eye on this situation. By the way, BT wasn’t exactly a beacon of assistance!
