number keeps calling us .. tried to call back .. dead.

Called me when I was out and left no message - not once but about 4 times my son said.  When I tried to call back the number was unobtainable.  I received another call last week from a number.

Called me when I was out and left no message - not once but about 4 times my son said.  When I tried to call back the number was unobtainable.  I received another call last week from someone about a boat for sale - which I do not have.

Just been called by a northern sounding man.  Enquired about a sewing machine I'm selling.  Gave him address, which isn't mine, arranged a time and an 'emergency' phone number (again, not mine) then he gave me his name and alarm bells rang.  Dialled 1471 and this number came up so I googled it and found this site.  Name he gave - Les Bonker!

I don't now think that this number is a nuisance one.  I think it's a 'privacy number' to protect potential buyers personal numbers, same as 'privacy numbers' are used to protect sellers in Free Ad type things.  Reason I think this is that the guy who rang gave me his name as Bonker but he gave me a private phone number.  I've managed to trace that number and the guys name is actually Bunker and he's genuine.  02079704991 is not a nuisance number so there's nothing odd to worry about.

I know this number isn't anything to worry about as Mr Bunker arrived as arranged and purchased my item.  Very nice guy he was as well so this definitely is a privacy number and nothing to be worried about

Its a YAC diversion number

some one rang me about a pc for sale , and asked for my address. naturally wanted to sell the pc , so gave address , they hung up , i tried to call back - but line is dead

i have an ad in local free ad paper, got a call from this no 02079704991, making stupid noncense enquirey, kept me on the phone for a while getting details about a local childrens charity. Thought it was strange, as she did not seem to be listening or taking note of my answers. VERY ODD SLURRY SOUNDING WOMAN BEWARE.

The number 020 is a London area code. If he/she says they're from anywhere else but London, it's a lie!!!

Just got a call asking about a buggy for sale, I don't have one for sale, typed in the 020 area codes and found its hundreds of miles away from me.

Received a call from this number enquiring re an ad I had placed in local free paper. Caller rang off early in conversation.  When I dialed 1471 this number came up.  When I rang back the line was dead.  Lady rang again 20 minutes later saying previous call had been on daughter's mobile which had battery running down. When I said I had checked number she was calling from and found that it was connected to nuisance calls, she said she was in Southampton and then rang off again.

I had the  same  number call me  about  6 times in  2 days with regards to the car i am selling.."All he  said  first time was i have a client really interested in your car...can i have your email address to forward details"

..I gave him  my email, he  did email..but wasnt any potential customer details..was an ad saying, please advertise your car for £89...and the ad will carry on until the car is sold...

i havent bothered picking up his calls anymore...is this for real or what???

Placed 2x ads in free paper. 1st add wanted address to view telly today or tommorrow around 7 to 7.30. both occacions did not turn up. They are attempting to phone me again probably for the other add. I hope i don't lead them on a wild goose chase. Annoying isn't it.

enquiring about my boat for sale, from Andy Foster email address is ajfostertaestandinspect@yahoo.co.uk

Hi I had call form this number enquiring about my car for sale. The person that I spoke to claimed to be from a car credit company and that he had a buyer interested in my car. He asked for my email address so the potential buyer could contact me for further details, I stupidly supplied my email address!!!!!!!

Beware and do not give out any personal details!!!!!!!!!

Its rang a few times, they just say I'm lucky, won a prize. I hang up...

I'm 80 years old, partially blind  and it takes me ages to get to the phone. When I answered the call they said I'd won a great prize and asked for my address details and monies to cover cost of postage. That meant giving them my card details. I'm not daft. I just left the phone of the hook until they got fed up and rang off.
(My grandsons typed this as I can't see well enough to use a computer...)
Can nothing be done to deal with these nasty people?

had this number (02079704991) trying to contact me twice daily for about 3 weeks never answered it but got curious at to who it was ringing at strange times. was selling some items in the local paper at the time so all fits with what people have said previously. when called number back the line is dead!!!!!!! beware and dont give any info to this number

This number is associated with Free advert newspapers eg. The Ad Mag when people place private ads the paper put a number in for people to call that diverts to the advertisers telephone number; The number 02079704991 is displayed to the advertiser & not the potential buyers number.
From what i understand your number is also passed to third parties for accepting marketing calls hence the same number showing as they harvest the number from the paper.
