Scammer on Gumtree - ALERT
 
F.A.O ALL who use Gumtree. I've just had an attempted SCAMMER call me. The number to look out for is +1(801)400-00.
As SOON as you answer it, YOU are being charged. Be very careful. PLEASE pass this on.


The scam seems accurate as it's being discussed

The only person saying it is a premium line scam is the same poster 'Ron' so I doubt it very much.

"Did the newspaper find out that the phone operators know about this but are prepared to go along with it because they get a percentage of the total take."

You cannot be charged for an incoming call unless you are roaming on a mobile or agree up front to accept a reverse charge.

Thus such a scam does not exist, move along, nothing to see ;)
