C_Mababejive

Ive noticed this a lot and wonder who/what/why is uk.community.com ,where does the data come from and is it real?

Example

http://uk-community.com/uk-community.php?id=E667094

This kind of link is produced when you google a mobile no.

I googled uk-community.com and my phone number. The phone number came up, but it isn't me.

Also you can edit and delete the information on there.

Strange site.

I had a call from a mobile number, and checked it out. Amongst the information I found was the scam described here:
http://www.m35design.co.uk/beware-uk-book-info/

which describes both the uk-book and the uk-community website.

If you edit or delete a mobile number, the scammer knows that's a 'live' number to sell on . . .

I wouldn't recommend deleting or editing the details if the phone number is yours.
That sort of site may well be some sort of scam to find mobile numbers that are currently in use and by deleting it, you may well be confirming to the website operators that the number in question is active and worth targeting with spam and other unwanted calls or texts.
