Spam texts and calls habe always been there, and the best way to avoid such calls and texts is to have a spam blockers on your phone, we have several of them that can help filter your calls and text, blocking scammers from getting through to you.


In my country, the telecommunications ministry have a code that block unsolicited text and calls their call it DND which block those scammers abd spammers targeting your security.

Scammers obtain potential victims number from various means, some services sell their customers information online, mostly in the dark web, and this information comes at a very dead cheap prices so anyone can afford it, some Scammers obtain thousands to millions of phone numbers thtough this means.

While some others may start a project or contests, or may lileky be an online service which required incoming members or participants to sign up using their personal information like name and phone number. One can sign up to such a project or service and after some time, the project or service closes, the Scammers through this have obtained thousands of personal information with which everyone who signed up have become their potential victim and target.

The best thing to do what getting messages from unknown sources is to delete the message and block the number (just as you have said).

Oh yes, the same goes for email too. Just use an email and mobile number that's not default. Even if you are using real email, it should not be your daily mail ID, otherwise you get spammed to hell.

Btw any e-sports fans here? The Dota2 International 25 is coming in September and I am already hyped up. The qualifiers are done and now we know which teams are heading in the tournament. Still a lot of time left so there might be some player shuffling going on, but I have a feeling that Satanic will come out as the best carry in the world. The kid is insanely talented and no one got close to him in the recently concluded Dreamleague!

I dont know if in third world countries sms are still a important way in the communication system, but in my case for example i dont trust even the sms from my mobile company about i pay the month of service, so i think everyone needs to be in this path and avoid sms at all.

And not just that, get another number if it's possible and make your personal number not appear to any website. Use the other number for those sole purposes of registration if it's needed and just make sure that you'll have the personal number kept by your immediate contacts and everything that's done there will not include any transactions. I think this is done by many already today and this won't give them confusion as for these scam texts.

You are active in playing in casinos or registering in platforms where there is a need to provide your number have another sim specifically for this and don't just click any links or believe anything that drops in your inbox, there is a kind of device that can send thousands of texts used by scammers so be fully aware on how these scammers operate through texts.
I have read in mainstream medias where users losses a lot of money because of these text scam because there are still some people who believe on what's landing on their inboxes.

So how do you explain the recurrence of scams using this method? I'm referring specifically to crypto users, who are supposed to be more cautious than others. Privacy-conscious users know how risky it is to rely on text messages and only use them as an additional layer of security for their accounts on centralized platforms. Believing offers they receive via SMS is downright foolish. What do you think?

We must try as much as possible to have multiple sources of security codes generation, what I do most times is that Aside from receiving emails and texts message verification codes, I still make use of my 2FA authorization apps to generate and confirm each security level that requires codes to pass.


It's dumb thing to do if someone rely on text messages for verification, because that alone can't guarantee accuracy in the content of the codes since hackers can manipulate it easily.

What you have to understand is that there are always standby people who are willing to fall for every scam and even the cheapest ones and it seems that scammers understand this, that is why you see them using some very obvious scam approaches and yet they'll get victims.

Some scammers are not so intelligent, they just believe that there are more dumb people in the world, so they try their luck at random and surprisingly they succeed. Another factor that makes this type of scam successful is the greed among players. Some people are so addicted to bonuses and in order ways they are too desperate to reap where they didn't sow. This is the root cause of the reoccurring scams we see
