It is a scam phishing attempt. Do not call the number.
I just pinged the hosts about why they didn't remove an obvious scam post, rather than edit a couple of digits.
I reported the post as containing a scam number. I'm not sure the poster is a scammer rather than a user who received the message and didn't know what to do. But you may be correct that the whole post is the scam.
Sometime I'll ask how you know it is an "obvious scam post". I've seen that popup while surfing.
I would guess a bit of an assumption. It's happened here many times that a new user pretends to ask a question about a scam site/number, when they themselves are the scammer.
The entire idea is to get the site name, link or number into search engines by placing the info as often as possible in as many places as they can post it. The more placement, the more it automatically works up the ladder of top choices in Google, Yahoo, etc.
