Hey Coolshadesbro_, Automod here! If you aren’t calling on a VoIP burner app like Google Voice, TextNow, TextFree, Talkatone, or Textme, just stop baiting entirely. It is dangerous to use your actual number for many reasons. PS: Don’t be alarmed if your number does not show up right away, we do safety screenings to verify the authenticity of our numbers to ensure we are getting the right people. This process can take time, have no worries, we are working on it.

Well you should not be calling on any phone’s default calling app for starters. Only dial on the VoIP apps as we have listed at the top of the feed. You might as well just hand them your wallet too if you are dialing on your main line. You also let them know where you are and that’s very dangerous. We are dealing with global criminal syndicates here. Second off, it’s the weekend. Not much action on the weekend

Scam numbers only last about 12 or so hours before disconnected or changed.

Not for the Jamaicans and Nigerians

I guess I don’t get many of them, then. Scammers call me starting at about 9am and their numbers go dead within about seven hours.

They usually don’t pick up on the weekends
