Phone number ☎️ 07778987357 👆 is reported as a persistent and deceptive scam involving messages claiming a family member’s phone is broken or lost, requesting contact via WhatsApp on a new number. These texts and calls often impersonate sons or daughters, aiming to trick recipients into lending money or sharing personal information. Victims note emotional manipulation and confusion as common tactics. The scam frequently uses multiple numbers and phone spoofing, making blocking insufficient. Users are urged to remain vigilant, verify with family through known contacts, and never transfer funds based on unsolicited messages. Reporting all attempts to official channels like Action Fraud and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau is vital to help authorities track and combat these fraudsters. Awareness and prompt reporting are the best defences against this ongoing scam.

3 yearsGot a WhatsApp saying “Hi dad” but it’s definitely not from my son. Totally made up.WhatsApp3 yearsThe person on the other end left a rather odd message: "Hey Mum, my number's now 07526 374677. Please reach out to me via WhatsApp." Thankfully, I didn’t fall for it. I was convinced it was genuine until my daughter rang me using her actual number to clarify that nothing had changed. Normally, I'm quite good at avoiding scams, but this one had me fooled, I must admit. I've since blocked the number and removed it from my contacts.WhatsApp3 yearsSo I got this message saying "hi mum this is my new number can u whatsapp me so i know u got this," and naturally I just went on whatsapp and called my daughter on video. Turns out she was proper puzzled since she never changed her number! Honestly, it’s a big scam, don’t get caught out like me.WhatsApp3 yearsI’ve come across this number linked to a dodgy scam text that says, “Hi mum, I’ve misplaced my phone.” Definitely sounds a bit suspect!3 yearsMy mate’s dad got a call from someone who said they’d got a text saying “Hi dad!
