Y'all go hard in the morning, I can't catch up these days. Is this everyone's destination while they drink their morning coffee?

Why did I send it? Because multiple users have called the damned number!

@JaredBusch So rather than obfuscating the number you left it there for them to call..

Good decision on that one..

Replying to your own post for dramatic effect was quite good, I'm going to remember that!

I could actually see this happening.

I explicitly stated prior to the image that the only valid number to call is an internal extension (5120).
That was clearly stated as an example of fraud.

You have some issues man if you are trying to twist this in to some mistake.

Of course, some user will do it. That is why they are users. The number of examples and instructions otherwise could never completely stop users from being users.

I kinda hope someone does it, just a tiny bit...

I'd be so pumped for @JaredBusch 's post, I can't even.

I hope they do too. Because I get to bill them for nuking the machine from orbit.

@JaredBusch I'm not twisting it into a mistake.

I'm just pointing out that even providing the information to your users (being users) is likely a poor decision choice.

Obfuscating the information of the number along would have been more then enough to stop them from making a poor choice.

Oh jeez, if someone actually was that stupid I'd send @JaredBusch a 6 pack and my trusty customer service baseball bat

Unless of course you want them to call the number.....

So @JaredBusch did you call the number just to mess with the scammers?
