Can calling these numbers cause someone to freak out?

It can if someone gets scared easily. If you're worried, you can dial *67 before the number to hide your phone number.

Why are all these numbers fake?

Ainsley

Of course, they are fake. All the numbers you see are just based on superstition. Supernatural creatures do not exist.

Question

If you call a number from this list, will they have your contact information?

WawaWawa

Community Answer

Possibly. Use an ID blocker so they can't call you back. If any strange things come up, talk to the police, a tech expert or your phone security company.

Question

Will it work on a flip phone?

WawaWawa

Community Answer

If a flip phone works like a normal phone, then yes! If you are talking about those really old flip phones, try calling a your own phone or a friend's phone to see if it is still able to make a call.

Question

Why are you guys not giving actual numbers? They are all fake.

WawaWawa

Community Answer

Either you called the wrong number, the number was fake, or the number was outdated. They did provide a warning on the urban myth ones. Try calling some numbers again, and see what happens.
