Take care of +4470….. numbers

Take care of +4470….. numbers! A few days ago I was asked about a cheap iPhone seller in the UK. Or that appeared to be UK based.

Their phone number started +4470…

Obviously +44 is the UK country code. But +4470… are international forwarding numbers. That means this person/phone can be anywhere in the world. In the past they where mainly in Nigeria. But now seems like scammer all over the world like those phone numbers.

Here is an old blog about +4470 from fraud expert Joe Wein:

Take care!

  3. The same scammers are now using social media like facebook to trap their prey, they will add you as friend, if they know that you are a man they refer to themselves as widow in the UK, and you will think they are real and started charting with you but will never answer your voice or video call so that you will not see their face Then the next thing you will hear is that they want to send you apple phone and computer and some useless jagons called QQ, IPC to enable you see when charting with them. Before you know it, you will be told that you will have to pay for the clearance of the parcel into somebody’s account. BEWARE all is SCAM. Their number starts with +447 as usual, so BEWAREEEEEEEEEEE.

    • Everything starting with +447 is usually a scam. It’s an international UK forward number. The user can be anywhere, often it’s Nigiria.

  7. I was contacted by “Alfredo Williams” on Instagram and he is claiming to be from Italy and currently residing in Stratford England. He said that he works on a cargo ship and consequent to this, he is unable to video call, for security reasons. He said that his wife died three years ago and that he just started looking for someone. He claims that he has a daughter and that she is in boarding school. He also claims that he sent me a package with handbags, jewellery, a phone and a laptop. The pictures were taken from the internet. He told me that I will have to pay $10,000 for clearance fees on Monday. Thankfully, I was not fooled. I hope that no one else is and that this information is useful!
