Pretty sure this is made up.
Also no scammer would not take the opportunity to scam more people.
Yeah becareful about 2. I have gotten at least 3 angry phone calls now from people I don't know telling me to stop calling them when it wasn't me :/
Got another one today. I get 1 or 2 every month.
I once had a spam caller call with my own number spoofed. Awkward.
Did you post your number on Craigslist?
And did you then call yourself to say “go fuck yourself!”?
That's how you could get to voicemail with no pin. Phone companies had/have the crappiest security.
That's hilarious
Also that URL they linked isn't even a valid link
It can be if they've already tricked you into using their VPN, but I think you might have to he advanced stupid to fall for that AND the text
if they only tried to scam one person
Sure, but that's unlikely. Scamming is a numbers game.
