scammers will try and try how to screw crypto users. remember the apps or bounty programs that you signed up for requesting your respective phone number. maybe, one way or another, they got a hold of such database. who knows, some crypto projects are intentionally getting the phone numbers of their participants to sell it in the dark web. so better be careful if a certain project is asking for your phone number or other vital info, make sure that they are legit and know the reason why they are asking for it. they can deceive those gullible users. they are just finding their next victim. hope users will know this kind of tactic so they can totally avoid to be the next prey of these scammers.

Good point, information is valuable, our information is valuable and it looks like aoluain's info may have been sold.
i have created accounts on numerous exchanges which i dont even use anymore, we all do it and we should really think twice about parting with not just our phone number but our personal information.
maybe a lesson from this is to have a second phone number for registrations and such, one we dont have to monitor.
