how would scammer know its them?
They’d have to be using some legit phone number and not a spoofed one, that’s for sure. So if this were actually a legit screenshot the other comments saying the scammer is using a spoofed number are actually wrong.
one per recipient?
I mean, it’s possible but I doubt it. Maybe if they’re very organized.
I actually do this with email so I know who sold/leaked my email address when I get spam. But this is doing it on the opposite side of equation with phone numbers so I doubt it.
I was thinking the same thing
What? Like a scammer would message multiple people and not just me personally?
Interesting way to deal with scammer, but then sometime they spoof their number so the victim got double victimised.
There was a period where I kept getting phone calls from people angrily asking me to stop calling them. I think a scammer was spoofing my number :/
I got a few of those. One memorable one in particular was from a guy that was raging hard.
“If you don’t stop fucking calling me, I’m going to come to your house and kill your whole family.”
Okay, chill dude… I’m not doing it. Clearly someone is faking my number. Just block me and move on.
“NO! I’M SICK OF MY PHONE RINGING ALL DAY LONG! YOU NEED TO STOP OR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS YOUR FAULT!!!”
Okay… So I’m gonna go ahead and call the police now… Have a better day, man.
It was like the start of a damn horror story.
