887 thoughts on “Dial +44 70 (UK number) for international online fraud”

1. I did an initial search but came up blank regarding fraud. After dialing the number and getting voice mail I continued my search which then populated this site.

   If I dialed +44-7031822843 and received a voice mail at which time I hung up … then how much am I looking to be charged?

   Thanks,

6. thank you
   I have a new email:

   Dear Teacher.

   We are a Canadian family living in UK of which we read your profile at http://www.timejob.com and we have decided that you to come and teach English to my Wife and my little son Peter because my Wife is a Swedish and she is not very good in English so that why we want you to come and teach English to her and my little son Though my son is better than my Wife because he is schooling here in UK but my Wife is a Nurse by Profession but her English is not good to be able to socialize with her friends here so we want you to come and teach her and my son.

   About Our Family

   We are a professional couple, living in a big UK city. My Wife and Son are fairly easy going and relaxed persons. Having English as a first language is not much required in fact, we would entertain you speaking to them in your own mother-tongue during lecturer so as to create fun.

   We only seek a Teacher for Basic English tutoring as what we need is for my Wife to at least understand the basics in English. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid 3800GBP with a weekly pocket money of 400Pounds. I guess you’d say this is much, but the Company pays us well and I love my only child/Wife so much. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate you putting your best in tutoring my family (Wife/Son).

   Should you accept the offer, we are willing to undertake the full cost of your traveling down here in UK . We would recommend a reputable travel agency immediately here in UK that would process your travel documents because we need you quite soon as my Wife is about to go for an interview in an Hospital this December and we need her to at least defend her self in English during the interview.

   Please communicate your interest to me through my direct mobile line +447024067757 so that we can discuss your travel arrangements and also my Son’s birthday is on the 21st of October and I would very much want you to be there.

   We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.

8. LAna: “is this also a scam?”

   If it mentioned a +44 70 number anywhere, yes!

   Even if it doesn’t mention a +44 70 number, watch out for any international job offer that doesn’t involve some kind of interview, either in person or over the phone.

   Beware of any offers where you are asked to pay money to a supposed lawyer / immigration officer / travel agent in the country of the employer. In real offers you will get the work visa through the embassy in your country and that’s who you will be paying.

   Never send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to strangers who who haven’t met in person before.

10. > I would like to know if this is true or fraud.

    Hello Lance,

    I quote a previous reply of mine:

    > Any email from a UK “lawyer”, “bank”,
    > prospective employer, etc. using a +4470
    > number is a scam, as is the one you posted.

    To anyone:

    If you have received an email that contains a +4470 number, submit the complete email message to http://www.scamomatic.com (using copy and paste) and you’ll get an instant reply.

11. To Joe and all,

    Sincerest thanks! You only confirmed what my gut was telling me when I met someone and I knew something was not quite right. He was in London, completing a “work deal” and only needed $800 to complete the shipping process. He really wasn’t getting a dime out of his chick! 🙂 His “home” # is +447024022690. Please add this to your listing. Might help any others he may try to scam. Really appreciate your help!

12. can you tell me is this true or fraud..

    i have chatted to a certain diane wesley, she told me she is a half filipino and half british.she is offering me a job in Heineken Breweries UK Limited Bookmark, she told me she is a sales and marketing officer in this company. i already sent my resume to her and she gave me this contact number-+447024023827. is this a legitimate person and a contact number.if this is a scam what will happen to my resume details..thanks for the help..

13. Hello Reynaldo,

    it’s a fake job scam.

    If a job offer mentions a +4470 phone number then it’s a scam — it’s really as simple as that!

    Companies based in the UK do not use +4470 numbers because their whole purpose is to forward the call to a number that may be *outside* the UK. Why would a UK company need that feature if their office is in the UK?

    If you have received an email that contains a +4470 number, submit the complete email message to http://www.scamomatic.com (using copy and paste) and you’ll get an instant reply.

14. thanks for the help joe..thank you very much…

16. Hi Joe,

    Thanks for these informations.

    Regarding scam issue, i have forwarded already my scan copy of my passport and resume before discovered that the email was a scam.

    What will i do to my scanned copy of my passport that i have submitted to him? can he use this to any illegal matters?

    Pls. help…

17. ＠Anna:

    Sometimes the criminals “recycle” documents sent to them for other scams, but in most cases they will do that with European or North American documents, especially UK ones. African passports (either original or forged) are also common, but Asian or Latin American ones are rare.

    Mostly however they request the passport images to make the whole procedure look official. One one hand this allows them to send you forms and certificates that have your name and birth date on them (copied from your ID), which convinces some people. On the other hand, by trying to make it look like they are checking who they are dealing with, they distract their victims from the fact that it is the scam victims (who are asked to send money upfront) who need to ask themselves who they are dealing with.

    The bottom line is, in *most* cases the scanned passport images are not used outside the main scam. If you back out of it before sending money, most likely nothing bad will ever happen.

19. hello my name is Rosibel, my e-mail is ***********@hotmail.com and I want to know if this is a scam I was told that the lotteria 1,000,000,00 win them the phone is 447035902683 please tell me if this is true or false. I ask for address, telephone,
    fax, gender, what country I am and where I live. and not to do.

20. @Theodore Galariotis:

    Yes, it’s a scam. Not only because it uses a +4470 number, but also because because legitimate lenders would not normally send email to people they don’t have an existing business relationship with.

    Domain “deckerfincial.com” was only registered a couple of months ago. The registrant is hidden behind a WHOIS proxy. Legitimate financial companies do not hide their domain registration details.

21. @rosibel vco:

    any “lottery” that contacts you by email to notify you of a prize is a scam. Legitimate lotteries do not use email to notify winners, they wait for winners to contact them after the winning numbers have been announced. You can’t win a legitimate lottery without having bought a ticket. Anyone telling you that you won a lottery for which you didn’t buy a ticket (which you can normally only do in teh country where the lottery operates) is a scammer.

    If you receive any email that mentions a +4470 number:
    1) assume it to be a scam and
    2) copy and paste it to http://www.scamomatic.com

25. @Andy,

    yes, it is a scam. You can pretty much take that for granted from the +4470 numbers alone. However, the website address http://www.shoplimited.page.tl is another clue: *.page.tl addresses are free, anonymous websites. I know of no legitimate business that uses this webhost. The extension “.tl” stands for East Timor (Timor Leste).

    No UK business would use a free webhost with an East Timor address for business, but scammers like to use anonymously created sites that don’t require the use of any credit card to set up.

26. Hey!

    I’m a guy from Norway. I haven’t received a mail from anyone. However, someone called me on my cell phone from a +4470 number (+447086638174). Didn’t know that +44 was the UK direction code. I tried to call up but I didn’t get through. After reading this thread I realize it must be a scam.

    Do you if this is common as well? Calling people in Norway, or other countries in Europe for that matter, with a +4470 number?

27. hello

    yes, it’s a scam. Any offer that mentions a +4470 number (doesn’t matter if the exact same number is listed anywhere or not) is a scam.

    She’s not in the UK. Most likely she’s in West Africa and if you were to go ahead then she would tell you to contact some “lawyer” or “travel agent” or “immigration officer” who would demand that you send hundreds or thousands of pounds / dollars / euros by Western Union or MoneyGram. It would be picked up by the same guy who writes to you as a girl.

42. i have received the offer letter form westborn petroleum please check its seems like scam.

43. Hello Munawar Khan,

    the job offer is fake. It’s a scam, like virtually *all* offers involving any mention of a +4470 phone number.

    uk-homeoffice.org is not a website of the UK home office, it’s a domain registered by the scammers and has no connection to the UK government.

    UK government sites generally use domain names ending in (dot)gov(dot)uk — anything else that claims to be connected to the UK government should be treated with utmost suspicion.

44. Ok, so, instead of receiving an email, or a sms or something like that, I actually got a call from a +4470 number, it rang about 4 times, but I was kinda sleeping and took a bit to answer it, when I was about to answer the phone, the phone stopped ringing.
    In this case, weren’t they gonna spend money if I answered my phone?
    Well, this could be a scam if I was curious enough to call it back, but since it was an international number, I obviously didn’t do it, instead, I searched the net about it, and came up to this place.
    But now I’m only curious as if I answered the phone, wouldn’t they had spent money?

45. @Wonderz,

    Numbers that show up on Caller ID when the phone rings are not a 100% reliable indicator of where the call was made from, especially with computer-based telephony (VoIP). It’s a bit like “From:” addresses in emails, which can also be faked.

    If the call was VoIP-based and your number was a landline, it probably would have cost less than 2 cents a minute if it was answered, regardless of what Caller ID you saw, because the +4470 pricing only applies to inbound calls. The call to you need not even have gone through the +4470 provider’s network.

    One possibility is that call came from a rogue +4470 provider, trying to drum up call revenue. Another is that it was a scammer (perhaps in West Africa) who wasn’t making money from the +4470 call back but was trying to hook you into an advance fee scam (fake lottery, fake inheritance, etc) and they were just using the +4470 caller ID to mask their real location.

46. Thank you for your thoroughly explanation, my doubts are now clear.
    You sure are a “carrier” of great information, and thank you for sharing that information with all the people that posted here, and also those that don’t post, but get aware of what’s happening in the “scam world”.

    Keep up the good work!

    Kind regards,
    Wonderz

47. These scam are making it had for real business people to do business… Someone contacted me claiming my identity.. I don’t understand what this is turning into i have reported this to my government and i hope that a solution is arrived at soon

48. @Harry Smith:
    While it is true that honest Nigerians suffer from the bad name that scammers give to their country, the criminal use of +4470 numbers gives a bad name to the UK rather than to any other country.

    Are you saying that email address “hscapitalinvestmentinc@gmail.com” mentioned above with the presumably fake name “Harry Smith” and numbers +447024098802 / +447024022840 is your email address or it isn’t?

    You posted from Nigeria and listed that email address as your contact address.

    Why would somebody other than you tell people to contact that email address if it was your email address?

    And why would someone other than a scammer use his email address together with +4470 redirection numbers?

49. hey joe i to had recieved a message from some halifax bank claming that i have won 1 million dollars in an cocacola draw,but when i responded to them i became a bit suspicious so i just checked the net and from there i got to know about your scamomitic thing which really helped me a lot,but i want to know about this WINNING PROCESSING THING who said that you are an verified winner…..waiting for your reply
