They were not trying to steal your number. They were using your number to back a new google voice account, so that they could get another free number from google. It’s a common scam, used on facebook marketplace sellers as well, and actually works best if the victim has never used google voice before.
- sshine 4y ago>> Mofo tried to steal my number, presumably to use it to scam other people. > They were not trying to steal your number. They were using your number to back a new google voice account I interpreted "steal my number" as "sign up using my number". Perhaps the more accurate wording would be "impersonate me". Either way, thanks for clarifying.
- noveltyaccount 4y agoThat's a fair clarification, I figured they were trying to move my number to Google voice, but now that you mention it I think that would require more paperwork. I did cross-post to Facebook Marketplace :)
