07983477885 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 07983477885 👆 is reported as a common scam linked to car sales on Gumtree, where individuals receive WhatsApp messages from numbers with foreign codes, particularly Russian. The scammers claim to be friends or acquaintances interested in buying a vehicle, often requesting detailed information or directing victims to suspicious websites purportedly to verify the car's history. Their goal appears to be gaining access to personal or financial data. Users are advised to remain cautious, avoid clicking on any links, and not share sensitive information. Repeated patterns include requests to communicate via different numbers and vague stories about being newly arrived in the UK. Blocking these contacts and reporting suspicious behaviour is strongly recommended to protect against fraud.

Fraud alert! Quite concerning, really. Stay vigilant, everyone!

Just like many others, I've encountered a similar situation while attempting to sell my car on Gumtree. A chap contacted me, claiming he had recently come over to the UK from France, and that a mate of his had given him my number. He mentioned he was planning to bring along his wife and two children, all of whom he explicitly named. He seemed particularly concerned about whether there was a whiff of smoke in the vehicle! He requested a comprehensive report to confirm that the car wasn’t under finance, and sent me a link to some website for verification. It struck me as quite fishy, and I can only assume it was some sort of con to fish for card details. I became wary pretty quickly and avoided clicking on any of those links. Just a word of caution-don’t fall for it!

I find myself in the same boat - received a message on WhatsApp right after listing my motor on Gumtree. I appreciate all the sceptical feedback; I had an inkling something was off, and this has been quite enlightening. Cheers to everyone for your insights!

I’m in a similar predicament. I received a message from a number that starts with +7, which I’ve found out through Google is linked to a Russian calling code. The person said that a mate of theirs is keen on purchasing my car that I’ve advertised on Gumtree, but it seems he's had trouble locating me on WhatsApp for some reason. Quite the odd situation, I must say!

On the 3rd of August 2020, I received a WhatsApp text from the number +7 7055265420, indicating they were inquiring about my car on behalf of a friend who was keen to purchase it but apparently couldn't reach me on WhatsApp. To be honest, I have a hunch that something fishy is going on, so I've chosen to disregard the message.

I've just had the very same experience! Received a message on WhatsApp claiming that my mate is keen to purchase your vehicle and asking if I could connect them on WhatsApp. Quite the common tale, isn't it?

Scam alert! I've encountered the same situation as mentioned earlier-a mate was duped into buying a car through this.

I received a message regarding my car for sale. When I replied, they requested more information and mentioned that they are currently in the UK after being relocated from France.

I got a message on WhatsApp from the number +7 962 192 55-40 saying something like, "My mate's keen on your car, but he can't seem to add you on WhatsApp. Do drop him a message at +447983477885; he’s waiting for you." I shot back with, "Could you please tell me your friend's name and have him give me a ring?" No response came through. So, I decided to block that number.

It mirrors the comments that came before it entirely. I've not taken it any further. I really don't understand what their goal is, apart from perhaps trying to snoop on your address book.

Just like the previous issue, I’ve been inundated with dodgy calls since I listed my car on Gumtree. They claimed to have rung me twice but said my line was busy; now they want me to ring them back on a different number. Not to mention, I’m also bombarded with calls from accident claim companies! 😡😡😡 It’s so frustrating-Gumtree really attracts a fair few scammers, doesn't it?

Con artist alert! Just had a run-in with these dubious folk who wanted me to complete a dodgy form on a site with a glaring spelling mistake. They were after all sorts of personal info, including my credit card details, claiming it was to verify that my vehicle wasn't stolen. Pure nonsense!

I received a rather similar message asking me to reach out to a specific number because they're keen on purchasing my vehicle. “An acquaintance of mine is eager to buy your car but is having trouble adding you on WhatsApp. Could you drop him a message at +447983477885? He’s currently awaiting your response.”

Count me in for that car buying con as well!
