Using someone's number for fake ad?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
Someone has used my boyfriends name and number and posted 3 ads on gumtree, how do I get them removed? And would the police do anything? It's ridiculous

You cannot, unless you have power of attorney. He can contact that business and inform them of the problem and have them put a block on his name and number combination such that a person would need to provide positive identification in order to overcome this block.

He could attempt a restraining order for harassment along with cease and desist. Of course, it was likely one of his friends just having a laugh. Let him handle it though. Honestly.

so bad.

Very likely they picked random numbers and didn't mean to use a real one.

Just email them and tell them the mistake, they might change it if you ask.
