This explains the 4 different "Hey! I got your number at the XX meetup." and "Hey, let's go play golf tomorrow!" type texts ove gotten this week. Trying to validate info.

EDIT: RTFA (says to myself)... this just makes it harder for shell companies to setup shop in the US and get blocks of US numbers to make VOIP calls/texts from. Someone will at least be held accountable, so they have to burn people (in jail) or get fined etc in their home country.
