It’s not a matter of “protecting identity”, it’s that phone numbers used by scammers are usually spoofed. Publishing the number you **think** contacted you only leads to another innocent person getting victimised.

I figured it was anyway since I've been getting these for a week straight I should have just blocked it like all the others ugh.. thanks for letting me know.

Answering confirmed your number is active

Had to repost since I included the scumbag scammers number apparently reddit doesn't mind protecting their identity.. anyways as I was saying SEEMS LEGIT!
