At this point I have developed a spiel for them. I apologize and let them know that I have not called anyone, but that some spammer likes to spoof my number on the regular and that I get one of these calls every few weeks. If they are still angry or say something about me needing to change my number, i mention 2 factor authentication and that it would take me literally years to break free of this number and even then there would be issues, so it just isn’t worth it yet.
Pretty sure this is made up.
Also no scammer would not take the opportunity to scam more people.
Yeah becareful about 2. I have gotten at least 3 angry phone calls now from people I don’t know telling me to stop calling them when it wasn’t me :/
I once had a spam caller call with my own number spoofed. Awkward.
That’s how you could get to voicemail with no pin. Phone companies had/have the crappiest security.
Got another one today. I get 1 or 2 every month.
Damn that sucks 😞

Also that URL they linked isn’t even a valid link
It can be if they’ve already tricked you into using their VPN, but I think you might have to he advanced stupid to fall for that AND the text
