07000 Mobile Scam

There's no harm (or cost) in answering it.
Just don't call back!Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
An alternative number to their 'Find me anywhere' 0700 is 0207 5933400 (off saynoto0870.com).0

Thanks for bringing this thread up again - I had a call from an 070 number the other day, and was going to call it back as I too assumed it was a mobile number.
I didn't get round to calling back and now I've seen this thread I definitely won't!Blood donations to date: 10 | Type: O negative[/B][/CENTER]0 -
Slightly different twist on the same theme.
Got a call from a recording of a ladies voice saying " please call me back to arrange delivery of your radio" Number was 07045271947 . Thinking the wife had ordered it for xmas I nearly rang , however she was due back soon and I waited, she knew nothing about it.Typed 0704 into Google and arrived on this forum !

They're still at it. It's called CLI Dumping.
Just had a half second 'ping' from 07099895049 on my mobile. Needless to say, I didn't ring back and, only being able to find THIS on the Ofcom website (and no specific way to complain about CLI dumping), I emailed [EMAIL="ruth.gibson@ofcom.org.uk"]ruth.gibson@ofcom.org.uk[/EMAIL] to report it.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -

Just got the same call, a recording, even though I asnwered the call, from a 'sarah' on 07045 271 811, also haven't ordered a radio so did the same as you, Google and arrived here. Tried to report number to ICSTIS but no one available at the mo!

No - I have one for work, and don't receive a penny from it. It just means that I can divert the calls to wherever I happen to be, or switch it off completely when I'm not working. YAC.com do them for free - if a business needs me, call the number.
They aren't always a scam.0
