Due to a change in my work schedule, I've not had the time to call scammers. The scammers that did answer my calls simply hung up on me at the mere sound of my voice. The unfortunate PayPal scammers that decided to take my calls had to sit there and suffer through my nonsense on until they could no longer tolerate me. They would all eventually give up and ditch their Text Now numbers altogether. Normally it would take several tries to get the scammers to ditch their numbers (sometimes they would simply turn it off) but it seems that the scammers are no longer interested in trying to save their Text Now numbers. It's gotten to the point where scammers are now sharing a Text Now number instead of each scammer having their own. I wonder why...... The following calls were made over the course of a few days.
The truth is, there has been a dramatic decline in the amount of scammers that are using Text Now (a free service) for call back numbers. Text Now is doing an incredible job removing all fraudulent activity from their service that scammers are now forced to pay for their own call back numbers on different carriers. The free and safe haven that was Text Now is no longer an option for them. The scammers that man the phones make very little money. The added cost of having to pay for their own call back numbers is yet another sting in the already stressful environment that is being a scammer in India. Acquiring these numbers is also another road that they have to cross. The team and I regularly call and share these numbers all the time and believe me, there is nothing more satisfying than scammers ditching their call backs numbers that they themselves paid for.
