[https://www.reddit.com/r/ScamNumbers/] 1. Do not post personal phone numbers.
You are NOT allowed to post personal phone numbers of any kind, including the
scammer’s personal phone number. 2. No harassment. This community strictly
forbids harassing other people, for example by posting other’s personal phone
numbers to prank call them. If prank calling scammers, please to not overly
harass them. There is a line between a small joke prank call and completely
harassing someone. 3. No “Any numbers?” posts No “Anyone have any numbers?”-type
posts are allowed. That’s what the whole point of the sub is. Sort the subreddit
by “New” to see (possibly) active numbers. Other questions are fine though. 4.
No scambait videos/pictures without contact info Videos and pictures of
scambaits must include the scammer’s contact information somewhere that is
easily visible (title, thumbnail, top bar of texting apps, etc.).
