Reports on phone number 07785016005
7 monthsI noticed this number +447785016005 is actually linked to Vodafone's SMS service. Basically, it’s the SMSC number that your phone uses to send texts via Vodafone. To put it simply, the SIM card holds this special SMSC number so your texts go through Vodafone's system properly. Whenever you text someone, your phone connects to this number first, and then it figures out how to get your message to the right place. It’s why messages get delivered smoothly on your Vodafone line.Vodafone7 monthsTried to open an MMS on my old phone but it just wouldn’t load.9 monthsNot sure who that was, probably some kind of scam if you ask me.1 yearI found an odd number +447785016005 showing up on my phone without me adding it. To check, I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and saw it was registered there somehow. I then got in touch with that number and quickly deleted it from my phone. Honestly, this could really be a scam, so watch out!2 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from the council, saying they could give me extra money to help with energy bills. But I don't get any benefits at all!2 yearsIs there a way to legally track down these folks who go by different names and seem to feed off others' bad luck? I’m really worried they might even harm themselves eventually. 😟 I’d honestly be grateful if something could be done - like a kind of mission to stop their toxic behaviour before it gets worse. Names like “Anne Fabbrucci” or something with “Nova BS” keep popping up. Please, PLEASE, can anyone help? 🙏🏾Anne FabbrucciNova2 years07785 016005 never actually rang me, but somehow it’s set as the default SMS number on my phone. I’ve got no clue who it belongs to and haven’t had any texts or calls from it. Still not sure who it is, but I’ve been noticing my phone seems to be tracked all the time.2 yearsGot a text on an old phone, but couldn’t seem to open it.2 yearsTurns out the number belongs to Vodafone's message centre service on my mobile.Vodafone2 yearsTurns out it’s the Vodafone voicemail number on my phone.Vodafone2 yearsDidn’t get a name, seemed a bit suspicious to me.3 yearsReceived a message from this number pretending to be Halifax Bank, saying a direct debit linked to a card of mine got cancelled. I don’t even have any direct debits set up on that account. Definitely a SCAM.Halifax Bank3 yearsGot a text from 07785016005 saying I might be due £3424.54 back because of tax taken on old PPI/loans. The message was from 'Zap Refunds' at 17:18 on 21st Sept 2023. It had a link (https //zap-adds.uk/ vsms.io/GB) but I didn’t click it. When I hit ‘info’ on my phone, it asked if I wanted to save 342454 as a contact. Checking the message details showed the number as 07785016005.3 yearsThey acted like they worked for a credit card company.4 yearsSCAM ALERT!! Got a message from 07785016005 sayin its from DWP, claiming the government has extra payments to help with living costs. It had a link to some site to “see if you qualify.” Def a total scam, dont fall for it!DWP4 yearsSCAM ALERT!!! Got a message from 07785016005 saying it was DWP about extra funds from the government to help with living costs. It had a link to some website. Complete scam, don’t trust it!DWP4 yearsDont reply to this number. They text you pretending to be Wise or Transfer Wise sayin your online bank account has been frozen. They include a website link but dont click on it. Its totally a scam.WiseTransferWise4 yearsA couple of comments down explain how you can help put a stop to these scams. It barely takes any more effort than sharing info on here. When reporting to the police fraud site, they don’t ask for your personal info, just the details about the scam. You might not see quick results, but at the moment the police have no clue how widespread this is. I got a reply from my MP that was quite eye-opening, but honestly, if more people don’t report these calls and messages, nothing much will change to end them.4 yearsI've gotten texts from this number quite a few times, although sometimes the number is hidden and it appears under names like Freemans or Lemann. They always call the person "Mrs" but with different names each time, telling me to click a link about some issue with an account. There's no way it’s anything but a scam. It's really annoying since when the number's hidden, you can't block it properly. I've replied with "stop all" loads of times, but after a while, the messages just keep coming back.FreemansLemann4 yearsGot a text from my GP asking about my smoking. They wanted me to fill out a form on florey.accurx.com/z2utfb2dz2.4 yearsSeems like a dodgy number pretending to be Santander.Santander5 yearsGot a message on 7th Jan 2022 around 3:38 pm claiming to be from NHStracing saying I’d been in contact with someone who has Covid-19. They called me Daniel and gave an account ID as z4790076. Problem is, I’m not called Daniel and I’ve never had a trace account or anything that matches that ID. The text continued with a bunch of rules and links to websites I was supposed to follow and get in touch with. I just chose to ignore the message.Daniel5 yearsApparently it was a call from 'NHS Booster' telling me to book a vaccine booster! Honestly, I’m not happy getting messages like that, feels like a real breach of my privacy.NHS Booster5 yearsGot a text on my phone saying it's from Santander dated 30/11/21 at 8:03pm. It read "SECURITY: We've detected some strange activity on your account. To stop your account being frozen, please click here." Then there was a link: https://santander.org-access.support/. Pretty obvious scam!5 yearsI just recieved a text saying: "Are you above 16? Reply yes or no please" It came from 41145, phone number 447785016005.5 yearsGot a text from Route1 saying tgkoq[###], anyone know what that means?5 yearsGot a message from Anglian Water, saying thanks for a £10 payment and some sort of authentication code. Problem is, I’m not even a customer with them. Very weird!Anglian Water5 yearsGot calls from the same number a couple days apart. First one said they were from Vodafone and wanted me to answer 11 questions. Not gonna happen! The first question was if I’m over 16. Hung up straight away. Today they called again but didn’t say who they were, just asked if I’m over 16. Ignored it again. Cheers for having this site to check these numbers.Vodafone5 yearsThis is the message service that the delivery company DPC uses to update me on when my package will arrive. Looks pretty genuine to me.DPC5 yearsThat dodgy lot called yellow eyes has been blocking me for ages even tho I've paid up 3 times. Not a single text when I really needed one, especially in an emergency. I’ve tried to explain my mental health stuff too. It’s not about Asians, it’s those sketchy Pakistani folks doing the dirty.5 yearsBeware of these scam calls. I got a call from 01709357348 claiming to be Vodafone, trying to pitch a better contract. I told them to send the info by email but didn’t give out my address. Instead, I got a text from 07785016005 which is defo not Vodafone. Both these numbers are dodgy and seem like a complete scam.Vodafone5 yearsSomeone called me pretending to be from HMRC, saying there's a tax scam linked to me and that if I didn’t call back on their number, I’d be getting arrested soon.HMRC5 yearsThe message simply said "Verify" and I found the number 07785016005 only when I looked in the message options. No idea how they planned to scam anyone with that!5 yearsGot a dodgy message, totally a scam.5 yearsThis is a Vodafone SMS centre number, but it looks like scammers are faking it. If you get a call coming from this number, it’s definitely a fraudster on the line.Vodafone5 yearsSaid he was from Halifax but sent a really suspicious website link for me to put in my login info!! Definitely a scam.Halifax Bank5 yearsGot this dodgy text from Nationwide claiming someone tried to nab cash from my account! Total scam alert!5 yearsSays it's an sms service centre. I’ve got a vodafone sim but think it's the same no matter what sim you have. You can find it on the about phone section.Vodafone5 yearsSaid they were from PayPal and told me to log into my account or they'd "have to suspend your service soon" - total scam!PayPal5 yearsGot a text from 07785016005 claiming to be Barclays, asking me to reply with a time for a call - total scam.Barclays5 yearsThey were pretending to give me my Covid jab. Totally scammers!6 yearsSomeone called asking for my bank info to open a Vodaphone account, but I already have one with them. Definitely a dodgy scam.Vodafone6 yearsGot a text from Barclays saying "Cheers for updating your mobile number. If this wasn't you, get in touch with us." The thing is, I've never even had a Barclays account.Barclays6 yearsPayPal? Nah, not convinced.PayPal6 yearsIt's Vodafone SIM hub, no issues with this number at all.Vodafone Sim Centre6 yearsNo idea who this number belongs to, called it but no one picked up.6 yearsTOTAL SCAM!!!6 yearsActually, never mind, it's not.6 yearsIsn’t this my number, da####?6 yearsI was convinced it was my own number, thank goodness it wasn’t. Man, gave me a right fright for no good reason.7 yearsThey were acting like they were from PayPal, but it was a total scam.PayPal7 yearsLoads of texts popping up pretending to be from all sorts of companies.7 yearsGot a text from number +447785016005 sayin I won 2nd place in some Tesco competition dated 07/05/19. It showed a list: Margy, me, and James with their postcodes. Asked to confirm by replying with a code and a weird link. Definitely a scam - they charge you for texting back! The funny part? I’m on an unlimited deal for calls and texts, yet they tried the same trick on my old pay-as-you-go with barely any credit left, just 39p. Proper idiots!Tesco7 yearsGot a bit curious and clicked the link before: turned out it was a survey tied to some phone company called Maseke. They promised two weeks free use of a fancy mobile phone! But after that, you're stuck in a two-year contract and payments start rolling in!!! Proper scam, that one!Maseke7 years447785016005 called me about some game for a pound, but with reverse charges to pay, i reckon its better to switch my network. not sure who benefits here, but def not me.8 yearsReceived a text from SMS Messaging Centre - Vodafone UK.Vodafone UK8 yearsGot a text claiming to be British Gas, saying they'll be here tomorrow to check the meter at a place I don't even live in. Quite odd!British Gas8 yearsReceived a dodgy text from this number that had a link inside. It said something about a DPD delivery but i wasnt expecting anything. Definitely dont click on that link!8 yearsgot a message off scottish gas just nowScottish Gas8 yearsGot a message from someone claiming to be “TSB” saying there’s weird stuff on my account and to click a link. What’s odd is it went to my work phone, not the one I actually use for my bank. Total scam.TSB8 yearsClaimed my personal accident insurance was sorted and offered £2000 if I checked out a website. Utter nonsense! Just blocked and binned it.8 yearsILLUSION. They say they’ll give me money for a crash I didn’t even have once you click on a link they send. I’m pretty sure it’s just a trick to grab your password or mess up your computer with some malware. Ignore, block, avoid completely!8 yearsNumber: 07785016005. Type: Don’t really know, maybe mobile. Like others have pointed out, seems like a Vodafone call centre. All that stuff about accident payouts is a load of nonsense. "We wanna give you loads of cash". Probably just some dodgy foreigners ringing.Vodafone9 yearsSpoke to Vodafone about loads of texts from this number that cost me 35p each. Didn’t get much help at first, so I told them I’d switch providers once my contract’s up. Then they rang me back and offered a £20 refund, which I took. Next time I’ll make sure to tell them when I’m abroad so I can sort out a proper package beforehand. Pretty sure this number is Vodafone UK.VodafoneVodafone UK9 yearsGot a message claiming to be from Argos saying 'You have (1) parcel waiting for you!' including a link. I never bought anything from them. Just gone ahead and deleted it!!Argos9 yearsGot called by this number 16 times in just one day, and every single call bumped up my phone bill by 35p. So annoying!9 yearsThis number kept calling me loads of times when I was away on holiday, both on my phone and my wife's. Ended up with a phone bill of £16,000, which was an absolute shock!9 yearsGot a text from "Message Centre" saying: "Question 1 of 8: To take part in this survey you must be 16 or older. Please reply with Y if yes, N if no." The number it came from was 41145. I didn’t ask for this message and there was no info on what the survey's even about. Seems dodgy to me, looks like a scam just trying to get you to reply without saying what it is!Message Centre9 yearsI get texts like 2 or 3 times a month. Tried texting STOP a couple times ages ago, but it didn’t change anything (no charges tho), so I just ignore them now.9 yearsI’ve been ringing and dropping texts, but for some reason we’re getting charged anyway.9 yearsReceived a message saying my p60 refund was ready with a link to verify securely - total scam! Please don’t click on it.9 yearsI got a call sayin somethin about me gettin a phone delivered tomoz, but then they said sum Police from Thorrington were tryin to catch me? Why would Vodafone be involved in all that? If the phone comes, did anyone ask for money? I'm proper confused.ThorringtonVodafone9 yearsReceived a message saying it was from Natwest, but I dont even have an account with them. Definitely a phishing attempt if you ask me. Best to just ignore and block it.Natwest10 yearsThe text showed up as "message can't be displayed" instead.10 yearsI received a message that mirrored D's experience as a devoted T-mobile subscriber, saying we could snag a complimentary camera phone. It seemed almost too brilliant to be genuine! They instructed me to ring up 02070783272. However, we’re actually customers with Tesco.DTesco10 yearsI've not a clue who this number belongs to, and the message can't be shown on my phone. Any ideas about who it could be?10 yearsWas a bit confused tbh, they acted like I’m part of their team or something. Couldn’t really respond to all their calls and texts.10 yearsI received a message from this number, but unfortunately, it won’t show up properly; all I see is a note saying, "message couldn't be displayed." Has anyone else experienced this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!10 yearsGot a message, total scam, best to just ignore and delete it, replying might get you into trouble!10 yearsIf you're a Vodafone user, give this a go!

To our dismay, we're being charged over £8 for them! The peculiar thing is, we never received any messages from this number, and our phone was switched off throughout our trip. How on earth are we facing these charges?Spain10 yearsgot a message from paypal saying “hello (name) you just sent £320.12 gbp to webact. if this wasnt you, click this link to cancel https//tr.im/gndek.” i never sent anything, so i just ignored and deleted it.PayPal10 years(#itrim/gndek says they’re from paypal but it’s a total scam.

Terms and conditions apply, and you can opt-out anytime!T - MobileCAMERA10 yearsI received a text message claiming that, as a 'valued T-mobile customer', I was eligible to receive a complimentary camera phone. However, I’m actually with Virgin, so that just doesn’t add up. The message prompted us to call 0207 153 9153, but upon doing some digging, this seems rather suspicious. Others have reported receiving the exact same text, deeming it dubious at best. Just a head's up to everyone - steer clear of these numbers!Virgin11 yearsI received two messages titled 'Hot Gallery' and 'Carmen' on my rather old-fashioned phone, but it simply said, 'Unable to show this message.' I have my suspicions that these correspondences contained some rather risqué images.11 yearsWe've been receiving a barrage of unsolicited text messages from this number, and we’re eager to put a stop to it immediately. Could you possibly guide us on how to go about this chase? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!11 yearsI received a message from 84025 via the number +447785016005 (07785016005), claiming that by replying with 'OK' to 84025 or visiting the website txt250.com, we could supposedly access 250 free texts each month. However, it appears that there’s a charge of £2.50 per week attached to this offer. Seems a bit suspect, doesn’t it? I'll be ringing Vodafone to get to the bottom of this.Vodafone11 yearsI've just gone through our Vodafone statement and noticed a charge for an incoming text message. Since we’re currently residing in Spain, it turns out we're being charged 0.21 per message, plus VAT. What a right pain!VodafoneSpain11 yearsWe're continually bombarded with texts from this number, and each one seems to cost us. Thankfully, we've got a pay-as-you-go phone, but it's quite pointless adding credit since it gets eaten up so quickly. Does anyone have any idea on how to stop these pesky messages? It's getting quite frustrating!11 yearsCan anyone tell me who this number belongs to?11 yearsA reputable bank ought to have taken note of the number and handed it over to their fraud department, which could have collaborated with the police's primary scam unit based in London and Vodafone. Sadly, it seems Lloyds TSB is quite the opposite of a trustworthy institution. I'd strongly advise you to report this to Action Fraud-just search for them online; they’re incredibly useful.LondonVodafoneLloyds TSBAction Fraud11 yearsI keep getting text messages from this number, and I can't seem to make them stop! It's really become quite annoying.11 yearsWe've noticed this number appearing on our phone bill while we’ve been overseas. It doesn’t clarify if the texts are coming in or going out, but we've been charged for it multiple times. It's quite puzzling, as we’ve never sent a message to that number. I’m planning to give Vodafone a ring shortly to get to the bottom of this and see what they have to say.Vodafone11 yearsWe've received a multitude of texts from this number, yet we're completely in the dark about who it might be. There’s been no prior conversation or any form of communication with them at all.11 yearsWhile we were overseas, we noticed a charge on our bill indicating that we’d sent three text messages to this number. The thing is, we’ve never actually sent any texts to them, and there's no record of these messages in our sent items. We're currently using Vodafone.VodafoneSubmit Your Own Report (07785 016005)
