Lately, I’ve been using virtual numbers for online registrations and some AI tools, mostly to avoid spam on my real phone. It’s been fine so far, but a friend told me that scammers also use them to hide their identity. That kind of freaked me out a bit. I’m wondering if there’s any real risk of getting scammed or somehow involved in fraud just because I used one. Especially with platforms that require phone verification, like during AI chatbot registration or when fixing ChatGPT login issues.
