Text Plus Reporting Thread

Scams

1

Another carrier thread and this time, we have Text Plus Inc. Like Text Now, Text Plus is a free alternative/cheap alternative that scammers have begun to abuse for both call back numbers and for hosting their primary scam numbers. This is due to Text Now cracking down hard on fraud and taking abuse reports seriously.

I’ve personally emailed Text Plus’s abuse department and have been told twice that they suspended 2 scammer accounts after sending them a detailed report that includes timestamps, timezones, screenshots, a recording of the scammer introducing himself as “Coinbase” and trying to run the scam, the numbers that called me as well as my number only for me to call back the 2 numbers and realize that they are still up. I start this thread with these 2 numbers…

(Coinbase technical support scam)
814-708-4488
805-426-9852

Please post/share any Text Plus numbers you may encounter on this thread. Help us spread the word when it comes incompetent/lying VoIP carriers.

My experience with Text Plus can be seen here:

I’ve had text plus before. Called my number and it just shows up as a missed call, never rings. So I guess they just use that as a CB#

I’ve experienced this with Text+ too. One case, they said they had “suspended the number and put the number on a cooldown” 4 TIMES before it the number stopped routing to impersonators.

the scammers could be resetting their passwords and using the accounts again. That’s been seen with Textnow accounts but they since fixed that glitch. If you have any troubles feel free to message Me and My inbox anytime.
