Is the forum moderated?
The discussion on phone numbers is partly moderated. The forum gets thousands of new posts daily, so it is not possible to check every single comment. Therefore we pay attention mostly to suspicious and reported comments.
Spam calls — or "scam calls" as they're also known — have become an infuriating part of life. By now, most people are well acquainted with fraudsters trying to dupe you out of your cash by impersonating government officials or Amazon employees.
Mobile phone users are unlikely to get a respite from the menace of pesky commercial calls and text messages anytime soon as the majority of these come from unregistered telemarketers (UTMs) using personal mobile numbers that are almost impossible to monitor or bar, say senior telco executives.

I received a text message as follows:
Hey mum, got a new number for now as I accidentally got my phone soaked and it wont read my sim anymore. Save it and let me know if you got it xx
Some sort of scam
