Is it UK Phone number 44-7031842420?

Question

he said as account officer of lloyd bank london

Answer 1

If it is a real number, it's a UK mobile.  44 is the prefix for the UK from overseas, and the first digit is omitted - therefore this would be 07031842420.  I would be very surprised if a bank officer gave a mobile number instead of a landline.  I'd assume it's not kosher.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

its a personal number - calls charged at a premium rate  - it is not a mobile number.

Answer 5

It's a UK mobile number. Not likely to be above board, most of these people will call you from a landline.

I'd be very suspicious.

Answer 6

the 44 is the uk call code, but the 7031842420 doesnt sound like a mobile.... they normally start 07, followed by either 7, 8 or 9... id be wary of this

Answer 7

+44 7031 numbers are so-called "personal numbers"

You can buy these 070 numbers and give them out for people to ring, you then divert it to your number or whatever number you want.

Although these numbers can have genuine uses, they are ideal if you're a crook and don't want to give out your real number, or if you want to impersonate someone from lloyds Bank, London.

In other words, the person who gave you that number and said he was from Lloyds Bank is a fraudster.

Answer 8

The 44 bit indiciates it's in the UK, but the rest of the number you have given is a mobile number - so it could be anywhere.

Answer 9

what you going on about !!
