07049

same as others, had a call from 07049 205858

07049210242 sounded long distance. but aware of these fakers.

Just had this call from 07049205889
"Hello! hello! can you here me" line crackles then a voice saying "the option you have selected is unavailable" then the line goes dead.

Called from 07049205672 bad line rang off after saying can you hear me  a yorkshire accent

Same format

Call from 07049 205849. Caller said Hello, Hello Can you hear me? then the call was cut off.

Not rung back so don't know who it was.

Didn't answer - I am naturally very suspicious about numbers I do not recognise - but immediately ran it through google and found this site, so my instincts were correct.  This is the second time a number with the 07049 prefix has tried to call.  Another give away for this (and for any other computer-generated/cold-call/suspicious numbers) is that the phone only rang for 6 rings - I've notice this a lot with many of the odd calls I've had and refused to answer (most of them probably just cold-callers rather than scams).  It smacks of them just trying random numbers using an automated message system in the hopes someone will answer.  The frustrating thing is that we're registered with the telephone preference service so any legit cold calls we get are only those from outside the UK, but it seems to mean nothing to numbers such as the one that called today - if they are coming from within the UK that is one huge loophole in the TPS.

Caller said "Hello Hello can you hear me?" then put the phone down. Must be using a batch of sim cards again to call people....DON'T CALL THEM BACK IT WILL COST YOU!

TPS is a complete waste of time.

Need to report to Watchdog, OFCOM etc.,

i had a call on my landline from 07049210272. faint voice said hello and then it cut off. i assumed it was a mobile so i rang it back from my mobile. answer phone. now i`ve just been charged £2.00 from my mobile provider. i`ve been well conned!

who took the money from your account and in who's pocket did the £2.00 go?


caller: a paid accomplice but not the thief

07049 prefix - wife answered the phone - female voice says hello hello .....line goes dead, and like everyone else she is about to call back having traced the number (1471) but I stepped in and said hank on...... Googled the prefix and found this page! Notice that all reports are almost exactle a year ago - so here it goes again..... Clearly a scammer - thanks for posting the info that prevented us from falling foul of this SCAM.

Call from 07049210909, no one on the other end. Am ex directory, and have had the phone number changed since we moved. No idea where they'd have got the number from. It's getting ridiculous, calls like this have become a weekly thing. Just as well the majority of the family use mobiles rather than the landline.

Received a call moments ago from 07049210053.  I'm certainly glad I looked up the 07049 code and found these reports on this site.  Again it was Hello, Hello, can you hear me ?  Certainly glad I did not phone back.

Had a phone call from 07049210854. Not rang back just had a look on the net and found this. I think we all should contact Watchdog and let Ann sort it out for us if It's a scam.

Just received a call from 07049 210534, on a faint crackly line, with a man's voice saying "hello, hello, can you hear me?", before the line went dead and a woman's voice said "I'm sorry, the option you have chosen is not available".

I've also had 3 international calls this week that either hang up after 6 rings, or the line goes dead when I answer. Seems like it's scammer season again.

Got a call from 07049205660 guys voice saying Hello can you hear me and then cut off.
Did't ring back

Just got a call from 07049210667 with the "Hello, hello can hear me" on a bad line and then the woman's voice.  Followed by the line going dead.

Did not call back and my home number is not listed.More concerned that if this was when my 15year old child was home then they may have called back without googling the number.

There must be a way to stop these scams!!!

Just had a call from 07049 210295 with a man on a supposed bad line with static saying "Hello hello can you hear me" then he stops, some beeps and "The service you have requested is not available" then it goes dead. Did a 1471 as uit seemed supicious, then googled and found this site.

These 070 numbers are not mobile numbers, they are a type of premium rate number.  Your Network take a share of your money before passing the rest on to the company that owns the numbers.  These types of fraud generate millions for the Networks.  That is why Ofcom turns a blind eye.

070 490 xxxxx and 070 492 xxxxx are supplied by this company

the above 'scam' appears to be organised fraud that 2communications Limited is profiting from.

Their 070 492 xxxxx numbers are also being used in a missed call/call back scam

thaks 'employee' but I fear your explanation was wasted on these people

caller: 2communications Limited/Edward Gross

Hi like others on here,around mid day today I answered a call from 07049 205619 "Hello hello can you hear me said the voice with a sense of urgency as one would expect from a distress call.I dialed 1471 to see if a number was logged,it was as above. My question open to all to answer why in this techno age are these PARASITES not being stopped from scams like this? Doubtless many on here would like to be in contact with the low life scum preferably with their hands round their throats!  Because its unlikely the telecoms business willdo anything about it as they have their noses in the same trough.The more folk suckered by these con artists the more the licencing company may  get in revenue,hardly a pressing case for change then Eh. Where does one go from here? Remember if its genuine or important they will call again. NEVER! ring back unrecognised numbers as one does,nt know how much its costing you until your bill arrives,then its too late.
