I was one of the victims of this particular profile and I'm currently dealing with the fallout. I blocked one of the numbers they have harassed me on but more have popped up. Would it be appropriate to post the other numbers I've been contacted by?

[SlapHappy]

Yes, post the numbers, then DO NOT ANSWER unknown numbers. And change your phone number.

Got it. I'm working on changing my number. It's just taking longer than I want with the holidays and all.

Thanks.

Since it took me a few days to change my number (I'm not the main account holder so that's why it took so long) the scammer attempted contact again with a different phone number impersonating a police officer. I knew it was bogus when they said they were with my local police department but the badge was from New York (I don't live in NY)

Anyways here's the number
