07778987357 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

Got a WhatsApp saying “Hi dad” but it’s definitely not from my son. Totally made up.

The 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.

So 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.

My mate’s dad got a call from someone who said they’d got a text saying “Hi dad! It’s _____, can you lend me £900? I’ll pay you back by tomorrow. Call me on 07778 987357.” Seems pretty sus to me!

Just got a call from this number, claiming to be someone from my family trying to trick me. It’s connected to the mobile number 07394542597. They rang me more than an hour ago. Honestly, this is the second time this week I've fallen victim to a scam like this - not very smart of them if you ask me.

I honestly don’t see why scammers would feel bad about what they do. These groups rake in millions without paying any tax at all. The ones who really should be feeling guilty are those who got targeted but didn’t bother to report what happened. Have a look at the comments here from 04/03 and others on this thread, then think it through. It’s actually straightforward to report scams - if you know the right steps.

Just got a message from this number 07597 601279, it's one of those "hi dad" scams. If you get it, don't reply! Make sure you send the original text to 7726 and include the scammer's number too. Stay safe and don't get tricked!

Received a dodgy call purporting to be from one of my children, claiming that their mobile was on the blink. They didn’t bother to mention any names, which set off alarm bells for me. It's almost certainly a scam, so I chose to just let it ring out rather than engage.

Hey Dad, just wanted to let you know I've got a new phone number now. Also, I temporarily can’t get into my bank account. Someone’s trying to scam me, asking for a bit of cash to cover a tiny bill until I can get back in. Watch out!
