Just one of the many ways government can regulate businesses for good and protect consumers. Those days are sadly over. Free for all for scam artists.
LMAO. Yeah that's never happened yet.
Actually that was the norm back in the 20th century. Before we were born!

You’re playing with fire. I did that once and then the guy put my number on those free websites that request quotes for health insurance and I was getting 100 calls per day from people who were selling insurance. They can screw you hard because they know your phone number and you don’t know theirs.
NP Agree but what if you put the number they use on those lists?
It’s a spoofed number that is fake and will not affect them at all.

You’re just displaying your ignorance. Enjoy all the bank fees, changes for scam purchases, and increased fraud this administration will bring you.
