Sounds like a scam Phone number (07005) ?????
Just looked thought the Free Adds and sore a Mini Scrambler for Kids and Adults 18 months old small crack on rear mud guard £80 in Newbury
I fort great nr to me and want a bike for my littlen
so i went to call and got a "free" msg from Orange say that Phone numbers that start with 0700 are normaly charged from 15p/min in the Uk
So i ended the call @ the point would you say it sounds like a f34king scam
Anyone else had this in the past ???

Go to a phonebox, stick a £1 coin in, that way the most you can lose is a £1.
Look at 99% iof the other adverts mate, they're mostly 07000 [or whatever] numbers anyway.

Not a scam- its to protect peoples mobile numbers.
Autotrader do similar..
Back in the day the 0700 numbers were linked to your mobile and house and basically diverted it to where you wanted.

seems odd to me end of the day your going to get calls wether it be days or wks later with some poeple Unless its some DODGY seller trying to hide that fact he's a trader and does'nt want the tax man clocking him selling on the side (cash in hand) i know someone that was doing that he just put differnt numbers to ring from time to time O'well may call it then again may not

Are you being deliberately styoooopid??
TAKE A POUND COIN TO A PHONE BOX AND CALL FROM THERE.
If you're that worried, if not, text me the number and I'll fucking ring it. But I'll buy the bike if it's so cheap and make a profit when I sell it onto you, through an advert with a normal mobile number [which will cost you more]

If your phone provider is telling you it's 15p per minute, guess what...
It's 15p per minute!!! If you hang up before a minute is up, guess how much you'll get charged?
15p!!!!

They have the same on autotrader. Its a free service to the person who placed the add to hide their number from the advert. The person ringing get charged a set amount to pay for the service. Nothing sinister about it
Think its called Telesafe or something
