Aren't those numbers typically just from servers rather than an actual SIM card in a physical phone?

[-] tyler@programming.dev 66 points 7 months ago

They are from SIM card farms.

Really makes you proud to be living in the golden age.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Usually they are just spoofed, and the real owner of the number is innocent.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

The number is spoofed yes, but the SIM card still has to be real in order to connect.

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Kinda irrelevant in this context though, since OOP (allegedly) listed the spoofed number on craigslist.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Oh definitely, but the person I originally replied to asked if they were servers, not real SIM cards.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

They asked if the numbers were from servers. No, the numbers are fake. The calls may be backed by SIMs, and that is an interesting implementation detail, but doesn't change how to treat them (which is don't try to retaliate)

Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

Wait till you see the crypto mining setups

Not to forget the like-farms.

First day on the internet? stay pure

TIL

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Right but it's not true

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

My dad took my old phone out to a SIM card farm upstate

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 7 months ago

I'm not one who worries about RF and my health, but I'm not too sure I'd hang around that setup very long
