1. Joe Wein…
   Please reply to my email..Thank you.

2. +447031948647
   Is this no. Is also fake ?

3. JJ, you asked:
   > Hi! What if the number that starts with +4470 redirected you
   > to a person in UK? Is it still a scam

   The whole point of +4470 numbers is that you can reach someone under a UK
   number who is not in the UK.

   For example, if they were using a UK geographic number such as a +44 20x
   London number, they could directly give you that number to call and it would
   be cheaper for you.

   In the 14 years that I’ve been dealing with online fraud I only heard of a
   single case of a legitimate users of a +44 70 number and that particular
   user did not claim to be in the UK.

   So as a rule of thumb, if someone uses a +4470 number and claims to be in
   the UK, you can assume it to be a scam.

17. Elsy,

    If your question was about a +4470 phone number then the simple answer is, “yes, it’s a scam!” If it involves a lot of money and someone you only know via the internet then the answer is the same. Copy and paste any suspicious email messages (entire message text) into the form at https://scamomatic.com and you’ll get an instant response.

18. Am not sure about this line…+44 70 3199 7643

19. Sam,

22. Hi this is urgent.
    I’ve been talking to this guy who claims he’s from the UK. His number is +447935688372
    I’ve paid the duty fee and handling charges amount and now I have to pay another big amount.
    Is this person real?
    He goes as the name Nityanand Kumar.

23. +4479 numbers are UK mobile numbers. As such they can be used with global roaming. There is no guarantee that this person is actually in the UK, any more than the name they gave you is correct. You don’t say who this person claims to be, but no immigration official or travel agent would have you call a mobile number to reach them. What makes this almost certain to be a scam is the money they demand, especially the increasing amounts. Any payment sent by Western Union or Moneygram is suspect because these means of payment offer no protection whatsoever to the sender.

    You can quickly verify or report any suspicious email online. Simply copy and paste the entire text of that email message into the “Scam-O-Matic” webform to get instant advice about it:

32. If it lists a 4470 phone number and the email sender claims to be in the UK then it’s a scam, which this one definitely is.

33. Rosemary,

    +447537130660 is a scammer’s number. He has his profile in tinder as David with an asian picture.
    He introduced himself as David Ching,an architect of his company G-Blossom Consults Limited(his linkedin) with 62 contract staff. by the way there is no such company if u check the company registration in uk.
    A sweet talker on text which i believe everything he wrote was scripted professionally. In the end he told a sob story of losing everything on his business trip and ask u to send money. I am sure the asian face is part of the syndicate hired to just take photos as a successful businessman on dating apps but the actual person chatting might not be him becos he refused to voice call nor do a video call. Catfishing as we call that.

34. hi!can i ask if this number +447459035865 is a scammer…i need your help asap…thanks!

35. Gladys, if you have reason to ask, the answer is probably “yes”! Anytime somebody who you only know via the Internet and who you have only communicated with by email or mobile phone asks you to send money abroad, all your alarm bells should ring!

45. Hi Joe

    I have a friend that wishes to open a HSBC account in the UK
    But him being not a UK citizen they have ask for 65,000 Pound Sterling to open this account . So the e mail that was sent had an address in London at the main building of HSBC London where my friend took a plain to see if he could meet him see if he was working there or not.
    There answer was , “No body in that name works here they said to him.the address appeared with the address that was send to him.
    So today I did cal this number +442070601138 and spoke to the person Andy Maguire and to my surprize I spoke to a gentleman with an African ascent .
    And he told me that what he was opening was an offshore account . Well I have no problem with that , but being now I have seen your web page and seen some numbers here , even that is not related , may be they may have got a new number out there some how again to scam people
    SO
    I hope to get to the bottom of this and will tell you more .If it is a scam I will post to you again , but if you were to know or find anything out before I do I would be most grateful and let readers all so know that these people are for real or are just out to get you money .

46. Colin, this all sounds very suspicious, starting from the huge minimum deposit (if that’s what it is). Did any of the emails your friend was replying to end in @hsbc.com or where they free webmail addresses (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo) or some odd domain not really owned by HSBC, such as “hsbcprionline[.]com”, which anybody can create for less than $10. Asking if a person by the name the scammer uses works at the bank is no sure way of protecting oneself. True, if no person by that name works at the bank then it can’t possibly be genuine. But if a person by that name actually for the bank it could still be a scam. Scammers routinely look up bank websites for names of bank officers and even provide links to such pages in scam emails to support their credibility. Without a way of verifying that the person is who he claims to be, this really offers no protection. So one needs to be able to verify that people really work for the bank by communicating only with email addresses of domains actually owned by the bank or using phone numbers and fax numbers published on the actual website of the bank (not some lookalike website or listed only in emails sent by the scammers).

47. Please help me to find out who the name of the owner of the mobile number +447999592802 and the original identity is also the residence now. He has cheated my money worth 10 million rupiah Indonesian. Thanks

48. Just receive a call from this number
    +44 22 0735 4309

49. Hi Joe,

    Can help to check for this no +44 7752 652283.
    I want to know the location of this no.

    Thanks.

50. Grace,

    +44 7752 652283 is a mobile number so the caller could be based in any country where there are mobile phone networks that offer roaming. They might be in the UK, or they might be in Nigeria or Malaysia – there’s no way to know. That’s why you should never send money to someone you only know online and who you have only communicated with by mobile phone or email. If it turns out to be a scam, you have no way to trace their location.
