Hi, tx, but his number doesn't seem to be on that, what is it?


update, wow, you can't hide form the internet, well done.


update, the address was a care home in Chelmsford, they didn't recognise the name, I think he is using a false name and address.

Does this help:

Suggests the number belongs to a female living at The Lawns, Chelmsford. Googling that leads to a care home. Doesn't sound very likely.

Edit to add - it looks like the whole uk-book.info site is randomly generated, so unfortunately that's a dead end for the number.

Well, vodaphone will be interested in the fact he is using a fake name for his phone.

Do you mean the fake name given, DeeAnn Field, lol, has no bearing on the telephone, will this be the name Vodaphone has?

Why will Vodafone be interested?

On closer look that uk-book site looks decidedly iffy.

So the only genuine info you have is the bank account and sort code?

You could write to the bank, but they will likely tell you to get lost, data protection, nothing to do with them, etc. So then you're in the hands of the police, or private detective and sue them through small claims?

Thos UKinfo sites have random numbers listed against random names, totally unreliable

So, if the police don't bother, and that's likely, and I can't afford any litigation, then he gets away with it, not wonder online fraud is massive, its a winner!


not having a go at you btw.

Just saw this about Action Fraud



Fiasco as £2m fraud hotline loses 2,500 cases in just eight months... and blames error on computer fault


The computer problems will also heighten concerns that statistics showing a fall in crime do not fully take into account soaring levels of online scams, most of which are never reported, investigated or solved.
