Area code blocked for privacy but it is spoofed from my phones number which I have not lived there in many years
Definitely not 989. lol
My kids complain about Mom spam too.
When, Today?
Yesterday. They like to remind me that Mom on a keypad is 666.
Ahhh… Just noticed that was you calling your mom, not your mom calling you. Good job!
That 666 bit is hysterical 😅
Good on you for calling your Mom.
They forgot to blank out her name though.
Doxxed.
I should call her
I should also call thatoneguy’s mom
The username makes this even better
There is one more person whom the OP seriously censored. More than their area codes
I assumed that was their actual phone number. They received a spoofed call from themselves.
Happened to my wife once. Her own number showed up on her caller ID.
Same happened to me when I signed up with a mobile carrier
What?! That’s impossible! Banks are credible, reliable, trustworthy! Cryptocurrencies, those are the baddies.
Crypto🤡
Well Monero is a load better then any bank if you ask me.
Ah crypto, proving why we regulate banks everyday.
Do we though?.. 'Cos it seems to me the path has been deregulating.
Still more regulated than crypto.
You really need to tell Mom to stop spamming you.
Smart, I wouldn’t want anyone to know I lived in Michigan either
I really don’t understand lazy censoring. You can either not use the thin pen tool or just spend a few more seconds making sure it’s unreadable. What’s the point of doing it at all if people can still decipher what you’re obscuring?
Or just increase the size of the pen tool…
Honestly I didn’t try that hard. I don’t live there anymore nor do I know anyone or anything that is still there so who cares if people know I guess
The question was why bother
I agree with the other reply and would honestly love an answer, if only to get a peek under the hood of people who do this.
If you didn’t try that hard because you didn’t care, again, why did you even bother? It’s like trying to scoop water with a colander, on some level you have to know it’s wasted effort, right?
its more than likely “it can’t hurt, so might as well” more than anything.
If they really didnt want it, they wouldn’t have posted this at all, or like other suggested properly censored it, they simply tried here, deemed “most people won’t bother” and moved on from it.
That’s Pure Michigan, friend.
I you know it because you are most probably from there or US.
No, it’s because of how poorly obscured it is in the 5th one from the top in particular - there’s no other numbers it could be.
Exactly, I was surprised that 989 was even a valid area code tbh, just doesn’t look right
Imagine not living in 616 though.
In general I think best practice is to call out “hey, I can see your area code in case you want to edit your post to more fully redact it” then any jokes about “since I wouldn’t want anyone to know I lived in [REDACTED] either!”

Looks like you got phished. Doubt that was the real bank site. Suggest you change your passwords if you logged in to that site, too.
Either that or you’ve got some malware.
Banks and hospitals sell your information, too.
When my wife gave birth to our son at the hospital, I have to put down my phone number as part of the check in form. Immediately the next day I got call for “Home care services for new mom and baby”.
Oh totally. But they don’t sync that information “immediately”. Nor would they ever want to because then the user would know that’s where the information came from.
I don’t think they really care if it’s not actually illegal.
Or they could sell the data in bulk. And the day I put in my number just happens to be the day they sell their database.
I guess it depends on what OP meant by “immediately”. If they meant the same day, maybe. If they meant within seconds or a few minutes, which is what I interpreted it as, then probably not. It takes time to transfer data out of a secure network, unless they gave the company direct access to a feed from the website, which would be really risky for a bank to give any organization a direct, real-time feed of any kind that is on the same network as financial data. I mean unless the bank also owned the spamming company, but that seems risky for reputation.
…hospitals sell your information, too.
I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

Lucky. All I ate BS recruiter spam. I have no idea why; I’ve been disabled for years
Yet another reason why credit unions are better.
There is malware that only captures traffic when visiting banking websites.
“trusted bank”
lol
I get the same crap from doctor visits out here. Guess the assistants arent paid enough to properly police their bosses systems
Which bank?
Op: Name and shame, please.
I would if it wasn’t my employers credit union which would give away too much information about me
Says the guy who thinks someone could dox him if they knew he lived in Michigan years ago lol.
god i love the modern internet.
