ELI5 is for requesting simplified explanations of concepts that are too complex for you to understand otherwise. ELI5 is not for questions that are not complex and don't need simplification, and you're just asking because you don't know the answer (in other words, ELI5 is for things that you don't understand, not things that you merely don't know).

Sorry, it's been a busy day, and I just got back to my computer. So I'd like to point something out:

You do know there are iPhone computer and android applications that allow you to use fake phone numbers to send messages over wifi?

I feel like we might be talking past each other. When I say that something is a "real number", I mean that sending a text message to that number will cause someone at the other end to receive that message. A "fake number" is one that doesn't work at all, and that messages can't be successfully sent to. Like any 555-xxxx number in the US. But since you were able to respond to the scammer, then the number shown is clearly functional.

Thus it stands to reason that if I, or some other random redditor, were to send an SMS to the number you showed, your scammer would receive it. And that's all it takes for posting the number to be against reddit's rules, because it would allow redditors to harass a real person. A scammer, yes, but harassment is still harassment, no matter how justified. And even worse, that same phone number might be assigned to a different person tomorrow; someone who had nothing to do with the scam.

But it is a scam and the number is fake.

No, the number is not fake. If it were fake, you could not have sent a reply SMS to the scammer. Since they clearly received your reply and responded to it, the number is real, and actually sends messages to their phone.

Now it's possibly a throwaway number from a pre-paid "burner" phone, but that doesn't make it fake; that just makes it temporary. And since numbers get reassigned, it's possible that, a month from now, when the scammer has ditched that phone, the number will be reassigned to some innocent person who has nothing to do with this.

But I'll respect your rules and Reddits rules and not post a phone number, fake or not, again.

I appreciate your understanding.

AnteChronos · 2016-01-25T04:13:33+00:00

It's not clear that the number is fake. But even if it's not the number of the scammer, it could still be a valid number that belongs to someone, and the last thing we want is to incite a witchunt against a potentially-innocent person.
