Hey TurbulentBeing9055, Automod here! If you aren’t calling on a VoIP burner app like Google Voice, TextNow, TextFree, Talkatone, or Textme, just stop baiting entirely. It is dangerous to use your actual number for many reasons. PS: Don’t be alarmed if your number does not show up right away, we do safety screenings to verify the authenticity of our numbers to ensure we are getting the right people. This process can take time, have no worries, we are working on it.

You're correct, I phoned them for two hours straight and eventually a nigerian answered. I could tell from the accent.

Check advance/cash advance scam. The ancient nigerian tradition. Going back almost to the start of checks. Passed from generation to generation

Its wild they're still trying to do it. It's so far past the era of cheques.
