  7. What communities / forums discuss #PhoneSpam?

    I'm looking for serious discussion on telemarketing, robocalls, AI calls, and unsolicited voice or text comms generally. Here on the Fediverse or elsewhere.

    I'm aware that the #FCC has / has had several recent rulemaking requests for comment. I'm afraid I've missed most such windows.

    I'd like to know what's being tried, successfully or otherwise, throughout the world. The problem seems severe in the US presently, but I suspect it's growing elsewhere. AI will all but certainly open new avenues for abuse.

    What hashtags are being used for discussion? Are there any Fediverse groups formed on the topic?

    Reboosts greatly appreciated.

    DM if you prefer, though I'd generally appreciate an open thread.

  12. Even scam SMS are now using UK phone numbers.

    This fake “parcel delivery” text came from a +44 number with a fake Evri link. Scammers clearly don’t care which country you’re in anymore—they’re targeting everyone.

    Never click the link. Always verify through the courier’s official website or app.

  14. One tap to continue watching. Also: one tap to charge your phone bill €4.50. Click2SMS, what good are you, anyway?

    A redirect chain took us from a compromised legitimate site, through help_tds, then through a familiar Germany-based commercial TDS, to hmtraff[.]com where we finally arrived at d[.]gosmartdecision[.]com — part of an IRSF ecosystem we've been tracking since our fake CAPTCHA report.

    The landing page shows a fake video player. A large "Continue" button sits in front of it. That button is <a href="sms:81183?body=360 *CWZQ...">. One tap opens the SMS app, pre-loaded with a message to a premium-rate French shortcode. 4.50 EUR per code.

    Where the fake CAPTCHA required four separate actions to maintain a verification illusion, the video player needs one. Simpler, faster, probably more effective. The legal disclosure with the price is below the fold in 10pt text, while the large "Continue" button is in the middle of the screen.

    There's a second bonus layer: the page runs device fingerprinting and injects a credit card collection form for non-mobile visitors — cardholder name, number, CVV, expiry. Mobile French users see the Click2SMS flow. Others may get card phishing. Two modes. One domain. DNS-visible delivery chain throughout.
