The Shocking Reason I Stopped Sharing My Phone Number—And What Scammers Hope You’ll Do Next!
DEATH THREATS: I receive enough death threats by email because of our advocacy work exposing scammers. I don’t need the scammers calling and texting me, too.
THIS IS GOING TO SOUND RUDE, BUT I’M GOING TO SAY IT: Because I’m very personable online, and because we share so much in this column (“News From the Home Office”) about our family, people feel like they personally know me. This led to texts and phone calls of a personal nature that I was just too busy to respond to or participate in. I felt bad about that, but I didn’t have enough hours in the day already. Plus, we were raising five kiddos for years. The last one turned eighteen and moved out two years ago. But, I’m still too busy to take personal phone calls, and to respond to personal texts from anyone other than family members and neighbors/friends.
