Clever. I would advise that spreading panic and overreacting is probably not the best thing for keeping this forum open and welcoming. Just my $0.02 on the matter.

With regard to robocalls, I never answer any number I don't recognize. It goes straight to voicemail and if it's important I follow up. It's kind of a hard and fast rule for me considering I can't just give up my free time like that to total strangers or machines.
About this coded message stuff, if this is still about Elisa Lam I'm not going to play. "Dangerous toys are fun, but you could get hurt!" |

Okay, on a slight sidenote, does anyone else feel like spam/hacks/robo stuff is becoming more and more commonplace?
These days, many forums that I frequent get spam every few weeks, and most of my social media accounts have been hacked.
Now all my friends think I've put them on Instagram's Hot List
I guess there's no ether option when you're online. Have a happy New Year! |

Ick. Hope you got all of that straightened out. I've found that second factor authentication (using a code generator is preferable but even SMS-based is better than none at all) really helps on that front.

Bates, if most of your social accounts were hacked, were you reusing passwords or something? Waff-O!
