How do scammers get all these phone numbers which are fake?

[clemens]

When all these phone scammers call you, they have tons of different numbers, how are they doing it? Is there some software or service available from where you can call X and show XYZ number and if it get blocked you call him from the next XZY number and so on?

How are they doing it?

Yes, they use virtual numbers. Best is to have an extra phone number you use on websites to protect against it these days.

I think they use loads of phone chips which cost very little to acquire and use.

If I don't recognise the number, I don't answer.

Simple rule.

If from a mobile phone, they can send ans SMS/text.
