Tech support scam

What’s the deal with listing known numbers in multiple new threads these days?

I blame the ridiculous notion that people think US phone number begins with the numeral “1” or that a phone has the ability to distinguish numbers in brackets (e.g. 888…no they don’t)
Numbers in a phone dial exactly like this 8888437101

I might head off and make a load of new threads for the several thousand active scam call centre numbers I know of and no-one else has the feintest idea are there. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
