How do you get scammer voice-mail?

Scams

I have VOIP Numbers, and have even received scammer voice-mails in the past.

Is there a way to 'infect' these VOIP numbers to get more voice-mails from scammers?

@PikaPikaGamer#126709 One thing I do is I call the scammers and pose as potential victim. When the call ends, I do not expose them on their face. This way they pass on / sell my number to other scammers.

@PikaPikaGamer#126709 You can join one of many facebook scammer groups with a fake facebook account and pretend to be a scammer who has “sales data” to sell. Just create a spreadsheet and fill it with at least 3 (preferably about 5) people details (where each person is one of your fake profiles) including your textnow numbers, fake names, addresses and emails addresses. Offer this spreadsheet as a free sample. Facebook scammer groups:

Also might be a good idea to honeypot your phone number. Create a plain-text website, with just some text saying “Hey this is just a page for honeypotting scam phone calls. Please ignore this. <phone-numbers>”. Any scammers scraping the internet for numbers will grab these and add them to their call list. Same tactic people use for email honeypotting.

@cosmicdev#126773 I’ve never heard of this before, could explain a bit more what this is about?

@PikaPikaGamer#126788 Not sure how I could explain it more, but this might be a good explanation of the concept, but it focuses more on phone numbers purchased but the honeypot idea comes across.

@strikedownscammers#126793 Well you could just make a basic Wix/Wordpress.com site and put them on there, but if you know HTML and can afford $5 I'd host a VPS with a plain text HTML file on it with the numbers.
