I know I’m not the first to think of this but I just wanted to pass along a little tip for any fellow FireRTC users that may be unaware. Use the website below to look up real area codes and their exchanges (then you just randomize the last 4 numbers) so that it shows on the scammers caller ID as an actual “City, State”.
@pleazbonline#68007 @scam_scammers#68025 That is not a good idea. Those last four digits could belong to a real number and they could be swatted. I know. I tried it. The best number to use is to pick the area code and then use 555 as the exchange and then a random number. That way you will not hurt anyone by mistake! If you do use that site, be sure and proof the number (i.e. Google it) and make sure it does not belong to anybody. Besides, the scammers look up the number and put the real person’s name with it. ; )
@JusticeinTexas#69856 Oh ok thanks, now for a while I’ve been using this program called “FireRTC Caller ID Changer” and it generates caller id’s. I will check them before calling with them.
I just write down a list of numbers that I have previously misdialed and led to a no such number error when I meant to call a legitimate number, which verifies that the number doesn’t exist. Then I use some of those numbers for caller id.
Or I just use an area code that starts with a 1 (which doesn't exist)
