Last year I was big in the scam baiting scene, often spending hours a day researching or talking to scammers. I just came back from a period of inactivity and am ready to help fight this war against the scammers again. However, I noticed you can no longer create text now accounts using an email. This is an issue because I use to make hundreds of text now accounts a day using temporary emails. Now I can not. Any suggestions on what I should do? Are there any other applications available to use in order to talk to scammers without using your real phone number? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Prisque#132393 Welcome back, and yes (assuming you don’t already know of it) there is at least one platform that has emerged which you can use to call scammers with: bobrtc.tel (You’ll have to directly enter this into the address bar of your browser, as the main site isn’t currently indexed by any search engine). The only caveat to this service that may affect you, is you can only dial phone numbers which are already present in the site’s phoebook (a large database of confirmed scam companies of all kinds). With enough time, and XP though, you will be able to add phone numbers yourself. You can also request that other users (such as moderators) add the phone number on your behalf, as long as it’s not a legitimate business of course.
There are other services such as Google Voice and FireRTC, but the latter hasn't accepted new accounts for about 2 years now.
Hopefully this helps somewhat, thank you.
im not telling nobody how
