Reason #1 to use a burner phone.
[QUOTE=Star1967;4637011]Has anyone had a situation where you inquire on availability but the replies back are a series of "aggressive" texts? I actually had to tell this person to stop texting me; when that didn't work, I had to block her. Like, downright scary for a fairly new hobbyist. Anyway, I've added the text thread image, please make note of the number and proceed with caution.[/QUOTE]This is the #1 reason to use a burner phone. Also, since the ability to take your phone number with you, phone numbers have become almost as personally identifiable as your soc number, so it's best you keep your real phone number just as protected as your real name. Go to Wally World and get a burner phone and a prepaid card for a few bucks and save yourself time, headache and exposure. Keep it in a safe place when you're not out looking. Then it doesn't matter if it blows up.
Good luck and stay safe!
