I just used temp-number.com to receive a verification code (no cell towers where I live). I was shocked to see that someone had sent their Bitcoin wallet info to the service.

I got their username, password and verification code. Their account is worth over 60BTC. That's over $2,000,000.

No I did not steal from them, but holy cow I can't believe how incredibly stupid that is.

So be mindful when using these, they're fully open to the public to read.

    It was purposefully leaked. they want you to sign in, then attempt a withdrawal that costs some BTC/crypto for “verification”.

    Don’t fall for it.

      I'm not involved in crypto to begin with. That's good to know though, it makes much more sense than someone being that careless.

    Bitcoin is for buying drugs, and there are better cryptos for it anyways. You shoulda drained that sucker and got so much research chemicals and fenty that any cop approaching you explodes into confetti.

    How did you see formerly received messages on the number you booked? I've used the service a couple times and wouldn't know of an option to see messages received before the moment you booked the number.
