So what if I selected one of the number and it brought me to someone. Do you think they hacked my information?


I suspect you have increased the likelihood you’ll get more scam calls.


Your willingness to interact likely makes your telephone number worth more when reselling your info to other scammers, too.


People are easier to hack than computers, and these scam calls and scam emails all target people. Us. Not our equipment.


Delete. Hang up. Verify. Etc.
