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.

It's nothing but a blind phone call. They call thousands of numbers without knowing if you have a Mac, a Windows computer, or any type of computer at all.
Hang up on criminals. That's all you need to do.
It’s a scam.
