Be aware of spoofed or non scammer numbers!

So over the past couple of days, it seems we have had some users posting numbers that do not in fact lead to a scammer. Be aware that originating numbers for texts, phone calls, or other media may be spoofed and that scammers are simply using that number to hide their own in an attempt to scam people but not have to deal with the consequences of people calling them back to troll and waste his or her time.

Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity.

Posting numbers to the forum that are not scammer numbers will lead to an account suspension from the forum. Please check numbers before posting them to the forum and verify that the number you are posting is an actual scammer number, if you don’t want to use your real number to call the number back you can use a service like TextNow and get a free number to verify with!
