Did you flood the number? I called it and it instantly hung up.

Nope, number still worked for me.

Interesting. I was planning on messing with them. For me it keeps instantly hanging up. Does it have to do with the fact that I used *67 maybe?

maybe your calling software but also please don’t reply to posts saying the number is dead but flag - What to do with dead numbers!

Your using your real phone to call?

An old cell phone but yes

You should not do that as the scammer can find information about you, use a service like https://voice.google.com or https://www.textnow.com

Thank you! I will look into those!
