Summary — +447887879962
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing lurking on classified sites, this number preys on Gumtree users with fake deals. Comments reveal a pattern of scammers posing as buyers or sellers, pushing for money transfers or blockchain nonsense to dupe the unwary. Victims report texts and calls leading to attempted fraud, often involving supposed investments like 'lps' or crypto accounts. Stay vigilant: never send funds to strangers from ads, verify identities independently, and report to Action Fraud. Wasting their time is a cheeky tactic, but blocking and ignoring is safer—protect your cash by hanging up or deleting straight away.

I was approached via my Gumtree ad; from the outset I sensed a scam, so I wasted their time with pointless requests, haha.

Scam
A caller claimed I have a blockchain account, which I do not.
No call came through, but a text arrived after I posted a wanted ad on Gumtree. It’s clearly a scam – I wasted as much of their time as possible. Never send money, regardless of any convincing photos or videos.
