How well did it actually work? Do you have some responses from scammers?
- ycombiredd 2y agoi got one phone call (which is not their normal m.o. in my case) a few hours after sending my reply. I knew it was a follow-up to my text reply story when he said "I'm the one who contacted you at.. the company you are at .." sounded like he was trying to read what to say based roughly on paraphrasing my text. I interrupted with just the word "no." and hung up. I have not received a single sms soliciting a loan in over two weeks now!
- yetihehe 2y agoHmm, might be "this number responded with a lot of text, probably some other soliciting/advertising agency, better drop it".
- ycombiredd 2y agoIt could certainly be that, which would possibly lend some credence to the idea that "mass over-response" could be a viable solution to spam, wouldn't it?
- yetihehe 2y agoYeah. On the plus side - at least you got a nice copypasta from it!
- ycombiredd 2y agothank you!
