Following a dodgy reply to an ad for some speakers i am selling (not from the ad on cyclechat), whereby i basically told them to fark orff, i then recieved another message asking me to ring them to confirm that they did in fact want to buy them, im still convinced its a scam . possibly being charged an extortionate amount for the call or something like that ...but......
it got me thinking ,, that in itself is a miracle... but is there any way to find out who a mobile number belongs to,
number is...

[Mod edit: not a good idea to broadcast people's mobile phone numbers on the internet - especially without their permission - they may be legit.]

Does it go to voicemail at any stage, if you dial it?
Network is normally given.
Should be Vodafone.

You could text them. It's often cheaper than a phone call.

Or just ring them from a pay phone, put a quid in, if it's dodgy and the charges are massive, they can only run it up to a quid rather than the extent of you phone bill.

No you should definitely be suspicious when buying & selling online, and if you ever deal on Gumtree always be suspicious and take other people with you if you meet anyone and never ever send money to anyone on Gumtree, I found out the hard way.
