@ruemaleficent@kolektiva.social I literally get spam calls on brand new devices & numbers, even when outside the US. I don't think this is something we can control for.

  • @vex@kolektiva.social I know this. However, in this case, I started getting texts and calls from actual people a couple of months ago asking for a specific person regarding refinancing and mortgages. That I'm now on a mortgage spam autodial list dovetails with that. Plus I've had this number for over 20 years. So someone is passing it out specifically instead of their own for what reason I couldn't fathom. Maybe debt. Maybe it was a scammer fishing for info that had to give a number for reasons and input mine. That, I couldn't say. But the fact that I've been getting calls for this David Nahal person for months and am now getting scam calls specific to his issue, is pretty much a smoking gun as far as I'm concerned. All that said, the advice was general. People give out fake numbers all the time and this is one of several reasons why they should choose which number to give out instead of some random one because you never know the consequences for the person that owns that number.
