Phone number ☎️ 07542829978 👆 is reported as a scam where fraudsters impersonate family members, usually children, claiming their phone is broken and requesting money transfers. Victims receive texts from numbers not recognised, asking to contact a different number or send funds to suspicious bank accounts, often linked to online banks.

Had almost the same thing happen to me. Got a call from someone claiming to be my son, saying his phone screen was smashed and he needed cash quick. I was really anxious and felt helpless. My initial thought was to help him out. They sent over bank details for payment but when I tried to send the money, the bank couldn't confirm those details. So I got on an online chat with my bank who said they’d actually stopped the transaction and gave me a number to call. Turns out it was a total scam all along. Really glad I checked first!

My mums got a dodgy text asking to send cash straight into a bank account, defo a scam. They said to report it to action fraud. The number they text from is with o2, and the account they want money sent to is with Kroo, that online bank. The scammer’s using an iPhone. Anyone got any info about this bloke, please let me know. Time to pay this con back!
